Is There a Cheating Report Thread

I'm playing a 3 player game with winner take all where the guy in second is cooperating with the guy in first despite how the guy in first is on the verge of victory and I'm nearly eliminated.

It's highly suspicious and looks like cheating. Can I report this anywhere?

Background color problem

I am using Chrome, and have been for a long time, but recently, I have had a problem with the background graphics. The background initially displays the normal brown with shading of the diplomacy map, then after a second or two, it disappears, and turns white with no map.

Any suggestions?

Question about Known World Map

Hey guys, super noob question, but I wanted to know if I had to keep a unit inside a neutral territory that has been converted into my own in order for that territory to remain mine in the Known World Variant, or can I leave it unoccupied?

Thank you!

Ankara Crescent 100% VCs

Usually, if you put a game on 100% Victory Conditions, it becomes rather boring - nobody ever fights for a solo, as it is almost always impossible, so everyone aims for a draw from the start.

Captainmeme (1400 )

However, in one variant, this does not have to be the case. Ankara Crescent! The map of no stalemate lines - even at 100% VCs, a solo is plausible and is the most likely outcome is the game goes on for long enough.
So, anyone want to join me in an SRG to test this out?

The SRG will be gunboat, as (be warned) it will probably take a very long time and I don't want this game to feel like a burden by having to send press for all that time. If there's any interest I might start a FP one as well, but for now the ambition is to start a gunboat.

Settings:
VC: 34 SCs
Phase length: 24-36hrs/phase (Depending on player preference)
Buy-in: 2-50 (Depending on player preference)
NMR: Serious

You must have played at least 200 phases here or on WebDip, and have an RR of 90%+ to join. Players with 80%+ may be able to join if they have a good reason for it. Hopefully this will turn out to be a top-quality game :)

Special Rules:
1) No voting Draw or Cancel. This game ends in a solo - that's the whole point of the SRG.
2) If you're away, finding a sitter would be preferable so that the game can continue - however, pause/extend votes are allowed and, if put up, must be granted.

That's about it... Any takers?

Mapu (2086 )

I like playing with you a great deal, Captain, so even if I can't enjoy your press, I'd be happy to play if you'd have me.

jmo1121109 (1200 )
05 Jun 13 UTC

I don't have the 200+ phases, but I'd like to join if you'd be willing to make an exception there. I have a perfect reliability rating here and no CD's in my 4 years on webdip.

Just three more needed. This is looking to be a good game!

Very nice SRG Cap'n, please count me in. My preferences:

- lenght: from 18 to 32 hours, except 24.

Captainmeme (1400 )

This has attracted a bit more attention than I thought it would :) Looks like there'll have to be more than one game!
I'll put myself in both for now as I'm looking forward to this so much I'm happy to do it twice, but I'll remove myself from Game 2 if we get another 6 other players for that.

Game 1
1) CaptainMeme
2) Mapu
3) Jmo1121109
4) Spartan22
5) B-RICH94
6) Darkarus
7) Dr. Recommended

Game 2
1) CaptainMeme
2) Guaroz (Preferences - Bet 10-20

, 18-32hrs/phase (not 24hrs))

I can get game 1 started up as soon as we know preferences for bet and phase length. I'd suggest a low bet of 10

so that we don't tie up too many points for some players, and phase length of 24hrs (without encouraged readying) or 36hrs (with it). Any other suggestions?

B-RICH94 (1859 )
05 Jun 13 UTC

I like a bet of 10, and I'm fine with any phase length. Since it will be gunboat I would just as soon go with shorter (24hr) phases.

Darkarus (929 )
05 Jun 13 UTC

10 is fine by me can we not make it gunboat though and 36 sounds better just in case someone needs it

Mapu (2086 )
05 Jun 13 UTC

I have played in a press AC game and I have to say that because of the unorthodox rules, I think it's a better variant for GB. No one wanted to share anything in press and it was too easy to do something other than what the press said, so it almost made all exchanges invalid.

Darkarus (929 )
05 Jun 13 UTC

I guess I would like to talk to some people about a strategy is all...

Captainmeme (1400 )
05 Jun 13 UTC

Darkarus - do you want to sign up for a Full Press one instead then? That way we can give your spot in the gunboat game to Guaroz and start sign-ups for the FP game.

Dr. Recommended (1660 )
05 Jun 13 UTC

I prefer 36-hour, but 24 is OK. I don't care how many points. Will it be Anon, or non?

Dr. Recommended (1660 )
05 Jun 13 UTC

Also, I'm willing to join a second gunboat if there's enough interest to start it but not enough to fill it.

Philcore (968 )

I'll play in the second one, I agree with mapu about GB though, as I was in the game he mentioned. Press just makes it more tedious. Having six people ask for your support to liv from apu ... One from Clyde, one from burg, one from Syria, whatever .... Apu rocks, but it can only support one at a time!

GB is the way to go with AC, at least until some of us figure out something resembling a strategy.

Of course I agree with mapu about everything, so discount my opinion accordingly ;-)

Spartan22 (1883 )
06 Jun 13 UTC

I'd prefer somewhere around 10-20 pt bet for the game. length preference for me I would say longer (36 hours) in case it is needed, but readying moves is encouraged? Also, would it be okay to start after this weekend? I will be gone from friday night until sunday night CST so sunday night start time would work for me. I could also always be the last player to join and then it will start whenever.

Philcore (968 )

If Spartan is the 7th in game 2 then id agree to his terms.

Need 4 more players for Sengoku map

as the thread title says, im searching for four more players to fill my "Japan United" game on the Sengoku map. Since creating a game alone does not seem to yield the required number of enthusiastic participants, ill try it via the forum. Only requirement is, that those people stay in game, even if shit starts to get serious for them ^^

Gunboat game: obvious coordination outside the board

wondering how to react on a supported move in a gunboat that is either extremely unlikely to be guessed out of the blue by the supporter, or coordinated off-board, which should not happen in gunboats.
if my opponents coordinate off-board, this game is totally ruined for me and i can give it up right away, as i can't stand a chance against them if they are that well coordinated.

Known World

Hi all!

Could someone explain to me more clearly how neutral standing armies are rebuilt in Known World 901? I always thought that if you did not have an army in a territory, the neutral standing army got rebuilt, even if you owned that territory. However, I am in a game where it seems a person owned a territory, left it unoccupied for the fall, but the standing neutral army was not rebuilt. It was not formerly anyone's home center.
