Appears to be a problem in the coding of the Youngstown World War II map
I'm currently playing Italy in a Youngstown World War II map, and I've run into a problem. The supply zone of Tirane is very obviously drawn so that it's adjacent to the Ionian Sea, but the game will not let me order a movement from the Ionian into Tirane.

Variant problem
Hey Oli,
I am writing this msg to the forum in case anyone can offer advice on the coding, which I am clueless, and since you were busy with the ranking codes.

Sitter needed until Saturday!
I've got exams this week so could a kind soul please, please sit for me until Saturday. I'm only in two games so it shouldn't be too much of a burden. I'm trying to get an extend for the WWIV team game I am in, though, so I'm not sure if I need sitting for that yet.

Tell me about your life!
Greetings to all the men and women of VDip! I had an idea that I think will help us grow as a community, and get to know each other better. I'd like to know more about you! Feel free to give as much, or as little, detail as you wish. things you can include would be your birthday, age, location, career/schooling, etc. etc. This will help us bond with each other, as well as get some good stats on the demographics on the site!

You can go to the link Games above and then to the New link after that.

Look for a game called 'Summer of war which should start in a few days. There are some other Rookies playing in that one and it is the best map imo

Alternatively you can go to 'Open' in the Games tab and take over a position that someone has left - this may be the best option if you want to start playing immediately.

@Sandgosse Silly I've been on here awhile now. Just don't post on the forums as much over here.

@Halt Actually now that I think of it. Slytherin would rule press games, but I bet you Ravenclaws would wipe the floor in gunboat games. Just saying.
taking over countries, which are usually in a (relatively) less advantaged position, may not be what a new player wants to experience right away ...

welcome anyway ~~~

Well hello from the forums :) hope husband is treating you well and the boys on webdip aren't jerks to you!
Halt (2077 D)
08 May 13 UTC
CF:

Well, Gunboat games tend to have some diplomacy too, and most of what makes a stab successful is timing it right. I'd argue that a Slytherin's cunning would let them identify that ideal moment, while a Ravenclaw's book smarts couldn't (since as I am aware, there are no set rules/guidelines for finding the "right" moment in a stab)
The nice folk at Gryffindor would get done over in the blink of an eye!
Halt (2077 D)
08 May 13 UTC
I'd be more worried about the loyal 'Puffs.

celticfox (1152 D)
08 May 13 UTC
@Halt You're assuming that Ravenclaws would have some slyness to them, but assuming that Slytherins would have some book smarts (or at least that's what it seems to me).

There's no set rules for finding the right moment for the stab, but I'd say gunboat is a lot more like chess. You can sense when to turn and stab even without being super cunning.
celticfox (1152 D)

@SG Mr. CF is treating me very well and well the boys at Webdip will be the boys at Webdip. You know how that goes I'm sure.

Take over from Civil Disorder thread
I wonder if the system can be put in condition to append an automatic message each time a country goes in Civil Disorder, displaying gameID, country, previous player (questionable).
That would shorten the distance between supply and demand and would help filling open positions in time…at least the playable ones.

gameID=12532: Glitch Alert for Oli!
BIO can't move to SNT, VAL or MDZ, but can support all three. Also PIT can't convoy to VAL, ATA, or ARQ (I had a fleet in CHB for that purpose). I believe the game has a major glitch. Am I right, or was it the loaner computer I was using being dysfunctional (a distinct possibility)?
