Developers, I beg you!!

Dear v-Dip developers,
I strongly approve both the institution of the reliability rating system in this site and the current restrictions to “unreliable” players, but I’m going to ask you to evaluate a possible improvement:

Fresh account up for grabs

Hi everyone. So a friend of mine tried to get me into vdip a few weeks ago, but unfortunately though I'm not going to be able to keep playing for personal reasons. I am in 1 Haven game, they have already had a couple of player disappear so I'm really just trying to do my best to not leave them in the lurch. I am in a pretty good position, equal third out of 19 in terms of supply centres. http://vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=4966

1066 variant description

I just barely hung on till the end as England in my very first game of 1066, based on the fact that
a) I didn't know what the norwegian army units looked like
b) I didn't understand whatsoever from the description that Hadriens wall actually has a moveable norwegian unit on it.

team-diplomacy!

i just came up with this variant: you play as 1 country with 2 players, either switching turns (autumn and fall i guess, otherwise someone could get only retreats and builds for example, on the other side, now the builds are for one dude...) or both players have to save and ready the same orders, being able to see the ones of the other and maybe a simple agree button to prevent mistakes... is this possible and/or a good idea?

New setting idea (see below)

You know how recently a turn limit was added to game (as in a game ends after x years). What if there was an elimination limit?
As in after x players were eliminated the game ends. Thoughts? While this wouldn't work on smaller maps, for the larger maps this could add an interesting pin on the play.

New armies?

I may just be seeing things, but do the armies in the small map of games look... shinier?

you crazy boy. lolz

mongoose998 (1344 )

no? If you look at the small map, then the big map, I sware one is shinier than the other. the fleets are the same though

mongoose998 (1344 )
06 Jan 12 UTC

yes! I have one on my side! its not in all games tho, so u can all compare!
These are regular: http://vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=2855#gamePanel
but if we look here: http://vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=5030#gamePanel
one could easily see the heavier shading in the bottom left, as well as the more distinguished outline on the new (build anywhere) units

gjdip (1503 )
06 Jan 12 UTC

Wow! Seems like I'm on drugs, too. They all look the same on the large map, though.

Grand Admiral Thrawn (1207 )
06 Jan 12 UTC

Yeah it does look different. Maybe the color was changed a bit in the coding.

ShootingStar (1238 )

Look at this game http://www.vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=4091#gamePanel. The current turn (A1910) shows the old armies, the previous turn (S1910) shows the "shiny" armies and all the previous turns are the old ones.

Also this one http://www.vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=4345#gamePanel.
A2001, A2000, A1995, S1995 and A1994 are "shiny" others turns are old.

And this one http://www.vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=4930#gamePanel.
A1872 and A1871 are shiny.

No they arent diffenrent.

mongoose998 (1344 )
06 Jan 12 UTC

One example wud have been good enough but anyways I was rite!

BenGuin (1529 )
07 Jan 12 UTC

God, correct me if I'm wrong,
but Mongoose is trying the say that after every build phase, the units that have just been built will always be "shinier" than the older ones that've been there before... it's not the difference between the armies in the big map and the small map... in fact I believe that this phenomenon only happens in the small map!

butterhead (1272 )
07 Jan 12 UTC

I still don't see it, but trying to hurt my eyes... thanks mongoose, now i have a headache...

mongoose998 (1344 )
07 Jan 12 UTC

Maybe if u wud believe that they are different, u will see them! JUST BELIEVE!
I am 100% sure tht it only occurs in the small map.

butterhead (1272 )
07 Jan 12 UTC

I tried, but I saw nothing...

mongoose998 (1344 )
07 Jan 12 UTC

OK, I take back what I said about one example being sufficient. I can now conclude that when the board displays autumn moves, we have shiny units. Spring moves show old units!
butter, look at the game and compare the 2 types of armies throughout the game

07 Jan 12 UTC

yes. that is what I just said!

Venetia (1587 )
07 Jan 12 UTC

Exactly, my post was to confirm it, now I'll start the quest of the new armies in all my games!

Grace (1282 )

King Atom (1186 )
07 Jan 12 UTC

Damn colorblindness! I never get to see cool things like shiny tanks....

mongoose998 (1344 )
07 Jan 12 UTC

now my question is why do they only occur when showing Autumn moves/retreats/builds?

butterhead (1272 )

conspiracy theory...

ShootingStar (1238 )
08 Jan 12 UTC

It's not always in the Autumn turn, although it seems its more common. In the examples I gave above there are 2 Spring turns. It looks like it is something to do with the colours. The normal armies have proper shading on them. The 'shiny' armies look like they are only 2 colours - black and a light green. It have only seen it on the small map.

not weird. We have concluded it only shows new armies when displaying the previous falls turn, it would only do that when expecting Spring orders
