A player has been banned so Iran is in CD in the Round 1 game (gameID=14592) of the tournament. in order for the tournament to progress fairly, we strongly desire a replacement for Iran. Rules to the tournament are here: thread=41653
In Gumers's thread I proposed a no-contest vote option, which would essentially act as a cancel which keeps games on the record for later review. Oli and/or other devs, how feasible would it be to get such a voting option?
On Monday I will be leaving on vacation and may not have internet access. I'm not doing particularly well in any of my games but if anyone wants to take over my spots for whatever reason, PM. gameID=11622 gameID=14493 gameID=14018
Hello all! Since I've joined the site, I have played a large variety of games and have started or finised 199. I want to invite anyone who is interested to play in my 200th game on the site :)
I think they have one of these for WebDip, so I figured I might as well make one for VDip too. Post on this thread or send me a PM with your location (no need to be precise with this - you can just give a nearby city if you want to) and I'll add you to the map.

Hello. Just signed up because I wanted to ask some questions.
What are the differences between vDip and webDip? Why do they look so similar? Was there a schism somewhere along the way? Are they two separate sites; can I have an account at each? Opinions of webDip?
They are separate sites, they just use the same (open source) programme, so you can also have accounts on both sites I like vdip more because here are way more variants and i like the people way more...the player base at webdip is bigger and the forum more active
You can have accounts on both. Assuming you are the guys who posted on webdip, youll get most of the answers you need there. webDip has more players on their site so they have a more active forum and a bigger group of elite players who play well.
Vdip has many more variants to choose and play from, so if you get tired of the original board, (which is what almost all of the games on WebDip are) this site is nice to play on. people here do tend to be nicer in general, so some people stay here just because of the community. Vdip also has many more features to insure quality gameplay that WebDip lacks.
Lots of people just have one account on each site, like me. If you dont mind having to manage two accounts, it's great to have duality and you can get the best of both sites.
I am an admin over on webdip and play mainly on that site, but I really like some the variants there. WebDip focuses on the classic map and the players there are experts on it. You can get some very intense games since everyone has played on the classic map so many times. This site has a ton of variants, I personally am a fan of Ankara Crescent, which is why I play here as well. The forum over on webdip is more active, but also less friendly then here. Both sites have their pro's and con's but I've found both of them enjoyable enough to maintain accounts on both.
Like someone explained over on WebDip. The base code for these sites was developed by the webdip site owner Kestas. Oli, the site owner here does a lot of extra customization coding to tailor the site to variant development. The base code is opensource so anyone is welcome to it, provided they follow proper citation/references.
gameID=13235 This was one of the most irritating games I have ever played. I was Spain. I posted a thread a few weeks back about being aware of SCs needed to win. This was the reason.
