Imperium-variant might work again...
I did some work on the adjudicator and this might work again.
Not a very balanced variant, but has a really interesting start..

obsolete Sengoku variant
Hi all, designer of Sengoku here. I would love to get the latest version of Sengoku in use on this system, as it is much more balanced. Found here: http://dipwiki.com/index.php?title=Sengoku
Even if the DP system, can't be used, the version at http://nairenvorbeck.angelfire.com/ is still better than the one in use currently. Poor Mori needs a fair chance :-) Anyone willing/able to help me get these implemented?

It's time to talk about Scoring
Hello all!

Let's talk about scoring? More specifically, about whether the dreaded Points Per Supply Center (PPSC) scoring should remain an option?

1 v 1 games on variant maps
I am not a coder (sic) so I was wondering how hard is/was it to code 1 v 1 games? Is it reasonable to think that variant maps (Modern, Ancient Med, etc) could be set up to create 1 v 1 games? The idea of having a larger group of countries to play against each other is intriguing. I just don't know if it possible, or doable.

How old school are you?
I am not very tech savvy so forgive me. I think I started dip on some RSS pages using Netscape at work in maybe 1996(?) does that make sense? All email based through Judges. What were they called? USDJ or something. I remember FROG but they all spoke French. Haha. I used to stand outside my office in the snow smoking a cig with a hand drawn map with about 100 crossing out for each phase using coloured pens. Ah web based interactive maps?!?! Luxury!!!

Napoleonic Variant, and the lack of neutral centers
I had the honor to play 'Napoleonic' back in the lab (an awful game as Spain by the way). I had a question back then which I ask here and now:

Why there are no neutral supply centers?

New Maps
I'm super new to the site and I was curious how new maps were made and/or submitted. I noticed a lot of the maps look a bit old and it got me thinking about what it would take to create a higher resolution version of a game map. Are there certain file formats a map must be in or is this all a responsibility for site admins only? Thanks!

Imperium Diplomacy
Under the variants, I noticed one called Imperium Diplomacy, but was not able to create a game using this variant. Is it a discontinued variant, or under a different name? It looks like an interesting one, especially the beginning turns.

Custom phase bug
This might be better in the Mods section, but I thouht I'd post here first to see if other users have any input.

I'm trying to create a new game with a custom phase length. When I select "Custom" from the drop-down menu, nothing happens. However, when I select "2 days, 2 hours", I've given the option to input a phase length. Hopefully this is an easy fix.

uber: is there more to your vote than "brain has played 'well', so I'm going to vote to give them the win regardless of their faction"? That's the only reasoning I see today, unless I missed some from earlier?
brainbomb (662 D)

"brainbomb: you'd shoot me tonight entirely independently from any action that may have occurred last night?"

You asked me who I would kill. Id aim for PR.
brainbomb (662 D)
21 Oct 17 UTC
I havent played well at all actually. I thought he was saying I was demonstrably town and therefore if somehow I was still scum after all I deserved a win. I strongly encourage you to agree mouse. I am town I just played shitty.
ubercacher16 (2196 D)
21 Oct 17 UTC
I also see absolutely no that scum would fake claim at that time in the game.
brainbomb (662 D)
21 Oct 17 UTC
The best way to understand why "flushing" is an invalid strategy is to look at the fact it has a chance to be autoloss. Scum having scored a mislynch, and a nk would not feel pressed to out the cop. The cop is likely to out day 2 anyway with any scan at all other than on dead or if they were roleblocked.

So why wouldnt scum try to flush?

In 6 v 2, scumteam has a better chance to counter claim the cop than they do to initiate the claim. If I had not fake claimed, snowy would have. He lost the ability to fake a cop scan on someone else and squeeze an extra lynch for verificatation. Because he got guilty scanned and was hooker, and that there was already a vt fake claim which he bit on, he lost that angle to use.
brainbomb (662 D)
21 Oct 17 UTC
Scum always waits to counter claim as cop to get as many collateral damage lynches as possible. Claiming first gives scum no chance
ubercacher16 (2196 D)
21 Oct 17 UTC
Exactly. @bozo can you come up with a more compelling argument then "he fake claimed?"
bozo (2302 D)
21 Oct 17 UTC
@uber: brainbomb says there was no reason to fake claim as scum, but then says "If I had not fake claimed, snowy would have." That is a direct contradiction, I think brainbomb is having a hard time keeping his stories straight.
ubercacher16 (2196 D)
21 Oct 17 UTC
Could explain how that is a contradiction?
bozo (2302 D)
21 Oct 17 UTC
@uber: teacon wrote several pages on his case against brainbomb. One good point he had was about brainbomb trying to use teacon's roleblock against him. teacon pointed out immediately that he was not cleared by being roleblocked, since the mafia could choose not to use it and claim it themselves, but brainbomb proceeded to try to use the roleblock against him. This is likely because it was brainbomb's plan to roleblock teacon, then claim there was no reason for mafia to roleblock him, therefore implicating teacon.
bozo (2302 D)
21 Oct 17 UTC
@uber: Since snowy was scum, why is brainbomb saying snowy would have faked claimed if there is no reason to fake claim as scum.
ubercacher16 (2196 D)
21 Oct 17 UTC
My point is brain saying, "If I had not fake claimed, snowy would have." Is not a contradiction.
ubercacher16 (2196 D)
21 Oct 17 UTC
He just said that there is no reason to INITIATE fake claim as scum. There is plenty of reason to COUNTER claim as scum.
bozo (2302 D)
21 Oct 17 UTC
@uber: Also, brainbomb voting pattern indicates he was trying to start wagons wherever he could. By D2, brainbomb voted for every other player except Captainmeme, and Captainmeme did not make it to D2. Is it really possible he scumread everyone by D2?
bozo (2302 D)
21 Oct 17 UTC
@uber: I did not read that as brainbomb saying snowy would counterclaim.
ubercacher16 (2196 D)
21 Oct 17 UTC
I am pretty sure that's what he meant.
ubercacher16 (2196 D)
21 Oct 17 UTC
But you are right about the voting.
brainbomb (662 D)
21 Oct 17 UTC
Okay. No.

Heres the orders of possible operations

Demon claims -> snowy counter claims

Brainbomb claims -> demon claims ->?

If brainbomb in scenario B is scum he just made it impossible for teamate snowy to survive, cc.

If braimbomb in scenario B is VT he prevents snowy from cc and secures verificatiion lynch
brainbomb (662 D)
21 Oct 17 UTC
Scum never claims first -> demon forced to cc. Because all claims by scum if initiated first will be automatically delegated to verification. Its a loss of life. 1 for 1 in this setup is never best play for scum

"Dont expect much from me this game. I dont like lynching ghug-uber- or mouse. Those all feel wrong." - brainbomb.

21 Oct 17 UTC
That was from D1 btw.
bozo (2302 D)

@brainbomb: You are justifying your fake claim based on DO being the real cop, but there is no way you could have known that at the time.

Im justifying the action no matter who fills that DO slot.

Tactics
In year one when you just meeting everyone, maybe there anonymous but for sure you don't know any of them. How do you know who to trust?
They can be lying through their teeth and text doesn't show tone of voice or eye contact so you have no idea. If you believe them they may stab you. If you don't you venture into a DMZ and piss them off. Ask around to others and you get rumors or nothing. This game seems so much better suited to face to face.

Classic Mini-Tourney - Is there interest?
I thought about making a mini-tourney - comprising a single game - using a similar scheme to most Face-to-Face scoring systems.

Basically it'll be a Classic game, running until Fall 1907 and a PPSC structure. The bet would be 100 points - for a ultimate pot worth 700 points.
