A noob question about R###
Hey Guys, new to the site (and fairly new to diplomacy).
Next to players names are their diplomacy points, I get all that, but next to that is an R### number, I may be missing it, but I cant see this in the rules. (ie name is NAME(1000/R92). What does this number mean?

Sengoku Nagashino Feedback Thread
Hi Sengoku Nagashino players - please deposit your thoughts here for designer digestion as the first round of games resolves.

Please do not directly comment on the situation/players etc. of any active games. Please limit your comments to the variant design itself, as it appears at gamestart. Once a game has completed, it is fair game for analysis, but not before please.

Deep philosophical question about American culture
So I teach at a major public research university. And I keep noticing that my male students in their early 20s seem with a surprisingly high probability to be intimately familiar with the movie Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood. This movie came out when I was in high school. And at the same time, they seem ignorant of In Living Color which is readily available on Youtube. So why DBAMTSCWDYJITH and not, for example, I'm Gonna Git You Sucka?

Is there a new mobile website?
It looks great, but could I turn it off? I use a BlackBerry Passport, which has a nice big screen and doesn't need it.

@Oli the news integrated into the game overview are cool, but I would prefer them to be above the game, not below. So that you always know what happened lately.

Is 1 notice ok. Or better the last 2?
IMHO this would ne nice right under the game-header and above the gamestatus and playerstats.

"IMHO this would ne nice right under the game-header and above the gamestatus and playerstats"...sounds great!!!
mouse (1825 D)
22 Nov 17 UTC
...having them in the games section really doesn't help; since that's sorted by 'stuff that's coming up soon', not 'stuff that just occurred'.

Entirely defeats the purpose of having such notifications visible on the home page.
GOD (1850 D Mod (B))

Yeah that bothers me as well. How about having game notifications at the top not for unreadied games, but for games where a new phase has been progressed?
tantrumizer (1557 D)
22 Nov 17 UTC
Oh I see them now. Yes, that's not useful for me. I am appreciating the experimentation though, but the top thing for me is to see the notifications since I last logged in at a glance.
CoXBoT (1136 D)
22 Nov 17 UTC
Ya, I personally like the game notifications separate. A little easier to see what happens, esp when you are playing multiple games/tournaments. PMs from months ago aren't really relevant to be front and center. No biggie either way, though. I am good as is.
Why not filter PMs to show only the last N days where N is either the last time the person logged in or 2 days, whichever is greater. Do the same with game notifications but put them *first*, ahead of PMs.
Mr. Finkelmuiyer (999 D)
22 Nov 17 UTC

Okay, here's my thought on the notifications being moved:

A game of mine just ended. I won, but did not see any notifications about this. I would (personally) prefer to see when a game of which I am a part ends, so that I have a cause to associate with my change in vPoints.

But the cutting down on the general message overload sure is nice. :)
That's a very good point. You won't see the win notification because the game is no longer active. That is a real show stopper there.
Oli (977 D Mod (P))
22 Nov 17 UTC

Right. Nice idea, but not really useful.
I will move them back to the notifications and change to last 2 days/last login,

Just to note, the 'force desktop site' option in the settings menu does not remotely resemble the option in browser settings, at least in Chrome, to the point of being even less usable than the mobile version.
Oli (977 D Mod (P))
23 Nov 17 UTC
If you select "force desktop" it will not load the "mobile" code at all. It's just like it was before. You just get the "old" site without the special "mobile"-CSS.
Enriador (1507 D)
23 Nov 17 UTC
I expect the mobile version as a powerful tool to bring in new players. Most folks who refuse vDip and go for apps or Backstabbr argue that the lack of mobile-friendly visuals was critical.

@Oli, any hope we can push towards the final frontier - push notifications?
mouse (1825 D)
23 Nov 17 UTC
(+1)
Oli - what I was saying is that what is displayed is materially different between the "Always use desktop-version (even on mobile):" site setting, and the "Request desktop site" option available in browser.

Not sure why, but when using the on-site option, the forum/notices/games columns do not remotely sync up with the 'highlighted' background width, while the top links and non-readied game buttons are forced to a new line at about the halfway point of the 'notices' column (incidentally splitting "New Game" between lines).

It's definitely quite distinct from the in-browser option, which accurately presents the site in the same manner as on desktop.
JECE (1534 D)
23 Nov 17 UTC
I don't think that what I'm seeing is as bad as what mouse sees, but I also noticed that the desktop website seems different now on my phone. I can't say for certain since the browser setting doesn't work on vDip for me so I have nothing to compare. When I use the desktop version of the website on my phone now, for example, the "Home", "Forum" and "Games" hyperlinks at the top of the page are mostly covered by the "vDiplomacy" logo; I don't remember that happening before the mobile website was introduced.

JECE (1534 D)

Oli: I've been using the mobile website. I think it would make sense to move the army/fleet icons in the drop-down order interface to the first line in each order. Right now they are centered and it's pretty difficult to follow where the orders for one unit end and the orders for the next unit begin.
Oli (977 D Mod (P))
03 Dec 17 UTC
(+1)
I think it's not easy to move the unit-icon on mobile. But I might alternate the background-color for each order. This way it should be easier to keep the orders apart.

Game set up - NMR
I want to set a game so that it never processes a turn with out orders. I think that is setting “Turn” = 0.
But if I set “Delay”= 2 does that mean a two day/phase pause before that player is kicked? Or is he kicked immediately and there are 2 days for a replacement to appear. In the latter case what happens after the 2 days?
