Join Team Iberia in the 2018 webDiplomacy World Cup
Iberia came 3rd in 2010, 2nd in 2012 and was absent from the 2016 edition. We're late to the party, but hopefully we can pull together quickly enough to register our team before sign-ups close. Are you ready?
The tournament is getting organized now:

Improvement suggestions?
I am looking to give some love to my main coding contributions to vdip, namely the interactive map and the TSR in Colonial Diplomacy. Do you have any wishes, improvement suggestions, issues or bug reports with these implementations?

Prove your historical knowledge!
Since some discrepancies arose from the Winning thread, (what else is new?) here we go. We start with a question, and the person that correctly answers it posts a question of their own, and it continues.

My turn. How did Frederick Barbarossa, 12th century general and holy Roman emperor, die?

Emperor Frederick Barbarossa drowned in the Saleph River. Someone said Frederick was thrown from his horse and the shock of the cold water caused him to have a heart attack and someone other said he weighed down by his armour and he drowned in water that was barely hip-deep.
Correct, Maucat.

Now name Charlemagne's father.

When and where Caius Julius Caesar was killed and what is the modern name of that place in Rome?

Everyone knows it was March 15 44 BC and it was in what was then the Roman Senate House, no idea what became of the building afterward.

Where was Canada's capital before it was moved to Ottawa and why was it moved?
Maucat (1834 D)
30 Jan 18 UTC
Alternately Toronto and Quebec City, Queen Victoria chose Ottawa as the permanent capital of the Province of Canada to end the rivalry between Quebec and Ontario.
Maucat (1834 D)
30 Jan 18 UTC
It seems that nobody knows where the Senate of Rome met on the day of Caesar's murder, I'll tell you so.

In the 709 ab Urbe condita (44 BC) the main seat of the Senate was moving from the Curia Cornelia to the new Curia Iulia still under construction in the Forum, the Senate met in the Curia Pompeia a smaller building part of the great complex of the Teatro di Pompeo, in the Campo Marzio. Now in the modern Rome what remains of the Curia Pompeia is situated in a large square called "Largo di Torre Argentina".
Correctly spell the "stan" beginning with K. Then name its capital.

What was the Roman name for Beijing?
Maucat (1834 D)
31 Jan 18 UTC
The Roman name for Beijing was "Thinae"
Ztir (1142 D)
31 Jan 18 UTC
Very interesting... I'm surprised the Romans knew about Beijing, it wasn't the capital until Kublai Khan moved it there in, uuuh, 1300ish, or am I wrong?

While that's a question I'd be happy to have answered, here is another of mine: What is Mithridate, and what/who/where is it named after?

Pretty sure I have recollections from listening to Mike Duncan's the History of Rome podcast that the Romans had knowledge of the Chinese, especially when it came to trade, although I don't recall if they knew the names of the cities. But I'm sure that's more than likely.

Can't send press during build phase?
Hi, during one of my games, I seem to not be able to send press during build phase? I have been away from the site for a few years, so is this a new feature/rule I'm unaware of or is there something wrong with the game I'm in?

Does vDiplomacy not have an option to send email notifications upon important game events?

I just recently set up a game, then came back to check on it a couple days later only to find that I'd NMR'd it without even knowing. I couldn't find anything in my email, even in Spam or Trash.

WTA vs Draw-Disvaluated Scoring
What about adding Draw-Disvaluated Scoring to vDip?

It's a mix of Calhamer Scoring (aka Winner-Takes-All) with Draw-Zero Scoring, and has the fortunate effect of pushing players towards a solo unless a draw is absolutely necessary. Solos work like in WTA, but draws are different.

PPSC vs SoS
I couldn’t find the answer in Help.
I know PPSC means in a solo the points are allocated based on supply centre count while in a draw it reverts to an equal split of points like DSS/WTA
For SoS over on WebDip, in a draw the points are allocated on a sum of Squares principle. But Help section doesn’t say what happens in a solo. Same method or reverts to winner takes all? I’m assuming SoS whether draw or solo but checking
Thanks

A noob question about R###
Hey Guys, new to the site (and fairly new to diplomacy).
Next to players names are their diplomacy points, I get all that, but next to that is an R### number, I may be missing it, but I cant see this in the rules. (ie name is NAME(1000/R92). What does this number mean?
