Is there a problem with the countdown timer, now that we've transitioned to Daylight Saving Time in the U.S.? The clock setting for deadlines and the countdown timer seem to be an hour out of sync.

Why many players choose not to Ready?
I have seen many players never Ready even they were playing gunboat, and even in retreat/build turns. Why people do so?

Additions to New Game Rules?
I've been noticing that Oli has been more active recently so I wanted to bring this idea up again. People were wondering if variants such as Grey Press or Fog of War could become rules that are applicable to to all game modes rather than just the classic map. This could be done by adding them as options when creating a New Game. It would make for some very very interesting games in my opinion

Age of Pericles
In the "Age of Pericles" variant, the map clearly shows that Euboeius Sinus and Thermas Sinus border each other (top right). However, the movement between them is apparently not possible; this is confirmed by looking at the map info. However, given that the map shows them as clearly in contact, isn't this a mistake?

WWII Tournament
I would like to start a tournament. I've seen the Known World and 1v1 tournaments, and those are great fun. So why not apply it to World War II? I'm still working out the details, but I'll post some details.

Here is what we will do. Ubercacher, start your group's game with 10 days to join. Start when everyone has joined. Title it "WWII 5x5 Group A Game 1". PM your group with the link and password. I'll find and spectate the game. Unrated, WWII, GUNBOAT.
ALL PLAYERS: You must join as the country you are supposed to be. Failing to do this will result in a point deduction.

NATIONS FOR GROUP A GAME 1. . .

Ubercacher—Germany
Abadu—Britain
Grahamso1—Italy
Mr_Shfinkle—France
Murcanic—Soviet Russia


NATIONS FOR GROUP B GAME 1. . .

Argentinean Empire—Germany
Maucat—Britain
YCHTT—Italy
Mr_Finkelmuiyer—France
TWCBSD—Soviet Russia
http://vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=33348

Group B Game 1—for any spectators.
Um, this is the wrong way to do this. Gunboat should be anon and this just undid the anonymous aspect of the game.
Why?
Because many of us don't like being ganged up on just because of our rating. I don't have a problem with it as my rating isn't so high to scare someone. But there are some here with rightful concerns about metagamers ganging up on them.
It is unrated. Also, everyone starts off with 0 points, regardless of rating. In my games, the players "ganging up" on a player are countered by the players that want to ally with the highest-rated players.
True on the unrated. Although originally, it was going to be rated for a low buy-in. I don't care provided there is no hanky panky between players behind the scenes. But later games might see a metagaming approach even more as this is a tournament and that means the tournament leader might be ganged up on by #2 and #3 so one fo them can maybe take his place at the final table, so to speak.

YCHTT your words are true from the first to the last of them.
I think we are all grown up enough to know that if we are first we are a target, and rightly so. If you are the leader then people are going to gang up on you. However if they are communicating outside the game about the game then that's no good, but I feel all of us are sensible enough not to do that. To me someone with a high rating is obviously a threat, but then so is a lower rated player who has just begun to become good. I treat everyone as if they were rated 2,000 then determine the threat from within the game.
I doubt any meta gaming will occur here.
YCHTT, a site rule is "negotiations before the game begins are not allowed". In addition, #1 will always have a target on their backs, and a true #1 would welcome—not avoid—the extra challenge.

Aside from that, I agree with everything The World Could Have Shorter Usernames said :)

I personally thought the way the Dutch Revolt tourney handed the semi-anon setup was perfect - you don't know which account is playing what, but you do know which nations are being played by the same player through the tourney. Obviously doesn't work as well with a staggered start, but it allows ganging up on the tournament leader (once that is apparent) while preventing the early 'gank the strongest' effect.

Should I make it anon or stick with non-anon?

Also public or hidden draw votes?
Non-anon and public draw votes.
Anon would be kind of pointless as we all know who is who before the game starts, haha.

Sorry about the long name, but it's not my problem ;-)
Yes.
But we wouldn't know if nationalities weren't posted here.
Well, I'm posting scores after each game. . .
Yes and that tells us who was who *after* the game is done, but not who is who in any ongoing games until the very end when you can deduce the players from the previous games.

what happened to our game
I won 17-6.
YCHTT... As Argentinean is playing he would know who is who even in anon giving him an advantage. Making it anon would make it less fair
Unless an independent third party assigned countries. We've done it in the past.
@TWCBSD I was just about to address that. It's the main reason I left it non-anon.

@YCHTT Also, this is MY tournament :)
UPDATE FROM GROUP A GAME 1. . .

After the first builds, Ubercacher is out to an early lead with 13 SCs, trailed by Grahamso1 with 12. Murcanic, Abadu, and Mr. Shfinkle compose a three-way tie for third with 11 SCs.

http://vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=33359 for any spectators :)
UPDATE FROM GROUP B GAME 1. . .

After an equally interesting first two turns, the builds set us up with my 13 SCs in first. The highest-rated player in the tournament, Maucat is in second with 12 SCs. TWCBSD and YCHTT are tied for third with 11, while Mr. Finkelmuiyer's 10 end the list of absurdly long names.

http://vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=33348# for the spectators :)
Agreed, AE. It is yours. I was proposing suggestions is all for a fair and equitable tournament. But it is yours to decide.
And no discussing ongoing gunboats! Just a warning to those who wish to discuss the updates. DON'T! I *will* call on the mods to stop that shit in its tracks! Status update? Fine. Discussion? Fark off!
