I have a couple of rules questions regarding variants.
With variants that say they do not allow for a draw, is that the case? Do those formats not have stalemate lines, or how do those games resolve if a stalemate is reached.

WWIV Sealanes Game
So, the last time I tried to get one going, we hit around 26-27 players before the time limit killed it. To my knowledge, there are no games ongoing aside from those gunboats.

Middle-East variant
I've started work on a variant of the contemporary Middle-East, but as I'm not an expert at balancing variants, I was wondering if someone can give me some insight into how to make it fair?

http://oi61.tinypic.com/zuf89j.jpg is a draft version.

hello webdip developers
I would like to get in touch with other webdip developers. The dev forum is inactive, so I'm hoping to get in touch with other developers here.

You can help me out with this issue posted here:

http://forum.webdiplomacy.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1632

I am currently working on a glossary:
http://jimbursch.com/webDiplomacy/glossary.php

When I'm done with that, I'd like to work on other improvements to the webdip code, which I think is fantastic.

BTW, I also posted this message on the WebDip forum.

Are you sure that you have the classic variant enabled in config.php?
jimbursch (0 D)
11 Aug 14 UTC
I believe so. Here is what I have in config.php:

/**
* An array of variants available on the server (for future releases, not yet enabled)
* @var array
*/
public static $variants=array(1=>'Classic', 2=>'World', 9=>'AncMed',19=>'Modern2',20=>'Empire4');//3=>'FleetRome', 4=>'CustomStart', 5=>'BuildAnywhere');

Have you tried to create a "classic" game (using the new game tab) at lease once?

Yes, here is an example:

If you take a look at the map you can see clearly the classic map is not installed.
Maybe use only the classic variant in your config-file first.

public static $variants=array(1=>'Classic');

And delete the cache files in variants/classic/cache.

RE: Obama's Response to ISIS and the Refugees
There are 40,000 - 50,000 minority refugees, a majority of them Christian, fleeing for their lives from ISIS. And what is ISIS doing to these men, women and children. They are beheading the children and women and hanging the men. They are closing in these people.

Hello all! I'm not familiar with all these variants compared to what are on Webdiplomacy. I'm looking to play some games but I'm not sure which ones are really good and which ones are not so much fun. So what's popular variant wise?

Multiple Cancelings?
So... I was in a game of Rinacemento that had not yet started. Not enough people joined. So it canceled. And canceled. And canceled. And canceled. I have NINE messages saying it canceled, BUT, I was NOT refunded 9 times! Not to mention, it still shows up in my games... which is annoying.... I WANT MY REFUND!

Perpetual Diplomacy
Is there a variant of Diplomacy that is designed to be a perpetual game? In other words, players are free to come and go as they please, but the motivation is to be the biggest player on the board, not to "win".

Diplomacy on the Radio
I'm listening to an episode of the radio program "This American Life" about Diplomacy. Featuring the same guy who recently wrote the Diplomacy article on Grantland. Not sure if it's the current episode or a repeat, but I figured I'd mention it here for those interested. Should be available on podcast now or soon.

Oli, thank you for the color-blindness interface.
I have protonapia and this is awesome. That plus labeling the countries speaking global and the interactive map males it so much better and less confusing... Even on the phone (interactive doesn't let me interact but still shows what I ordered using the drop down).

New default Pot-Type WTA....
As the subject suggests.
To gather a bit more feedback about this issue I changed the default from PPSC to WTA and made a big announcement about this on the gamecreation-page.
This will last for the next few month and we will see if the games get better, worse, or if nobody cares.
