1 SC, 0 units: a bug with the new system
Currently, I'm playing in a game where I currently have 1 SC and 0 units because my only unit was forced to disband. However, an interesting bug occurs, because the Save/Ready buttons still appear at the bottom of the screen, with no orders listed above them. Can someone fix this?

Cold War tournament
That cold war tournament I talked about: Subscriptions are open!
The first 64 players that sign up will participate. You do need to sign up to the discord server as that's the place where we try to mingle the diplomacy crowd.

Winning target SCs don't work?
I just tried to create a Classic game with the winning number of SCs as 34 and the site just didn't want to do it. Is this a bug, or a system put in place?

Two winners in a game?
What happens if a game is set with winning conditions lower than 50% of all SCs and two players reach that goal in the same season? Is it a tie? Does the game continue until one has more?

Illogical Rating Assignments
Take a look at the following link:
https://vdiplomacy.com/hof.php?gameID=37006

Now, you can see the "brains" of the rating system. As you can see, the system deducts less from a player who CD'd than a player who kept playing and survived. Why? Shouldn't players be held accountable for their CDs?

Ready Button Retreat Bug
I'm Britain in this game:
https://www.vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=37793

I have a retreat due. There is only one valid retreat location. I click the "Ready" button, but it's not saving the retreat. We're playing with rulebook press, so there is no "save" button currently.

Nexus Tournament final is about to start
Hi all.

You might or might not have been aware of the tournament going on discord. (Here is a website: https://diplomacynexus.com) I saw some of you in there. But nobody made it to the finals I think.

Caucasia
I think the variant Caucasia would benefit from being played with a set end year and winner takes all. One could think of Caucasia as a tight C-diplo scoring variant.

Bone
My friend group and I have decided to shift all of our games from WebDiplomacy to VDiplomacy after the "Incident". Apologies for all of our bone games that will cloud up the search bar. However feel free to join any of them that you want, the password will always be the same, bone (unless we actually want it to be just us, in which case the password would be something else). Language may be offensive because some of my friends don't understand common decency.

Newspaper Game
A while ago, some players in threadID=80668 discussed playing another Newspaper game. Meanwhile, more than 7 players have shown their interest to participate in it, but no consensus on the specific settings of the game has been reached yet. I have created this thread to set up the next Newspaper game and discuss its settings.

Done some testing and looking at the most recent newspaper game, using FunnyTranslator.com has an 80 character limit which kind of defeats the purpose of newspaper articles. On reflect I think its best to keep the two seperate. I'm happy to play either a straight Newspaper game or a straight Translate game.

Taking a recent post from RUFF in the forum and using
https://lingojam.com/BadTranslator
you can see the before and after:

Cypeg was a bit fixated on the ratings. At the same time, he was also a very good player. Unfortunately he fell into the trap of being consumed by the ratings, and being on top. He began to play games with the sole purpose of gaining the top spot, and then fading off into the sunset. This was both because he craved the top rating spot, but also because he learned the hard way that holding such a position makes you an automatic target in every game you play in. Essentially the system is set up so that eliminating such a player is so lucrative in terms of ratings points, that players cannot pass it up. Making matters worse when you lose a game from the top position you lost exponentially more points than the 50th ranked player would. When this happens you cannot get a clean game. Even many respected players here get sucked into taking down the top guy.

The worst part about this is that we have known this for over five years, and still nothing has been done about it. I'm not a huge fan of ratings systems, but this one has been a shit show from the start. Measuring strength of opposition should matter. Losing should matter. But the negative factors being applied in this algorithm are are disaster. The problem is our good old buddy Guaroz either designed it, or blessed it off, and no one can convince Oli to revise it. So instead of playing Dip here, we're playing King of the Hill.

limited number of games
I can only be in 2 games at once since I'm a new player on vdiplomacy, however I've played a lot of diplomacy and know how to play the game. It should include the number phases you have taken on normal diplomacy while determining how many games you can be in.

Game number 28
I've been analyzing the ratings of some players recently (Yoshimon, ksindelar, and I), and I've noticed a really odd pattern. In each of our 28th games, we've suffered a major drop in rating, but our ratings quickly bounded up in the 29th game. Is this a coincidence?

I last played, like... 10 years ago. Was watching D&D video where the guy talked about this game, and I remembered, "hey, yea, that was a lot of fun. I remember kicking ass with California!" Not sure how many people still play this? Started up a new game to go fetch some of that nostalgia.
