Issue with South American Supremacy Map
Hey, I'm getting ready to start a game with some friends using the South American Supremacy map. It appears the map is starting with a fleet in Bogata, which is a landlocked territory. the variant homepage lists Bogata as starting with an army. Is there is a good way to correct this? Thanks!

Map Markings
I apologize if this is a repeat question or if it's found somewhere obvious, but I'm brand new to vDiplomacy and I can't seem to find what the difference is between the two types of what I believe are SC markings on the Bye Bye Federalism map.

Can someone help me?

Option to play a variant with fewer than the max number of players?
Hello all,

I and two of my friends love playing 3 player diplo games together. Having gone through the different 3 player maps, I'm wondering if there is a way to play on some of the larger variants, but with just 3 people? For instance, I'd love it if we could play a 3 player game on Fall of the American Empire IV.

Which variant would you like seeing on vDiplomacy?
Is there a variant that you really want to play, but isn't available here yet?

I have done work on half a dozen variants and I would like to pick something else. What's your favorite?

Policy For Site Unavailability/Glitch
What do you mods think about having some kind of policy posted to address when the site goes down or is not functional in the future? You have chosen to cancel the 1st game of Divided States over this, but the last time I was involved in a game that had this happen, the last phase was replayed. So currently, the response isn't consistent.

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:

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.

First question, of moderate difficulty: What is the name of the treaty that ended the Russo-Japanese War, signed on September 5, 1905?
Nuclear Surok (1362 D)
23 Jan 18 UTC
Random guess,treaty of vladivostok?Also,I think it deserves mentioning-you have to get knowledge from your memory,no wikipedia,googling etc.
You are incorrect. Also, I agree with the second sentence.
I was going to guess, but I checked my answer first and I was wrong. So I won't spoil the fun and tell what the right answer is. Next contestant...

(that's a shame, I had a few good questions in mind too....unsurprisingly, also about Japanese history)
I'm going to open questioning up to anyone that wants to. So there will be more than one question going at a time.

The answer to my first question is the Treaty of Portsmouth. Next:

Since I feel like it, name the Argentine general who was relieved of command after the battle of Tucuman in favor of Jose de San Martin.

Side note: San Martin promptly liberated four countries, so the change in command may have worked out.

Why was Pericles always pictured with a helmet on?
Nuclear Surok (1362 D)

Uber,maybe because he was bald?
My question:What countries gained land in the aftermath of the Munich agreement?
ubercacher16 (2169 D)
24 Jan 18 UTC
That is incorrect.
@Surok Isn't it just Germany? They took Czechoslovakia.
Skyrock (1149 D)
24 Jan 18 UTC
@ubercacher16: Because Pericles' head was elongated to the point of deformity and the ancient artists considered as to unseemly to portray it.

Something easy as my question: Who was the last nominal Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, and in which year did the abdicate?
Nuclear Surok (1362 D)
24 Jan 18 UTC
Skyrock,I dunno who,but the HRE was abolished by Napoleon,so my bet is 1818 or somewhen close to that.
Argentinian,nope,not only Germany.That would be too easy.
Skyrock (1149 D)
24 Jan 18 UTC
Napoleon as the cause of the final fall of the HRE is right (and something few people know, so take a brownie point), but the year is a good bit off.
@Skyrock too easy! Francis II, 1806.

@Surok: I believe the answer you are looking for is (Nazi) Germany, Poland and Hungary (although technically one might say that WWII was the aftermath of the Munich agreement and then the answer would of course be completely different)

D-ice-yup.Not many people know that poland got some land too.

Ok then, as a (hopefully not too far-fetched?) continuation of @Surok's question: Why was a Lufthansa plane hijacked in 1972?

I should state that what you are refering to is not the same event as the plane-jacking, but they are indeed closely linked.

i dont remember. release the embassy hostages or we blow up th eplane or something like that is the only thing I can think of. or, hey, we hijack a plan that the embassy attackers can use to flee the country?
Nuclear Surok (1362 D)
25 Jan 18 UTC
I remember something about an olimtic team held hostage in germany during the cold war.Maybe this is relevant to it?
d-ice (1969 D)
25 Jan 18 UTC
@nuclear: yes this is relevant as in it is linked. But this event occurred a few months after the hostage was released. I’ll post the correct answer tomorrow morning if no one got it right by then. @Munich time ;)
Nuclear Surok (1362 D)
25 Jan 18 UTC
This thread is pretty slow,how about asking easier questions that people might actually know answers for?How about an easy one-How did germany deal with the Maginot line on the german-french border during ww2?The Maginot line was a defensive wall of forts,straight force wouldnt punch through it.

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
