New convoy-code.
Thanks to tobi1 we have a new and improved convoy-code.
This was really a problem for all "big" variants.
Very cool you could solve this problem. I did take a look at your code, but I'm absolutely clueless... :-)

Gunboat specs
If the "Gunboat", "Public Press", or "Per Rulebook" rules are employed, shouldn't the game be automatically "Anon" as well? If it weren't, then players could just PM each other, defeating the purpose.

Question about social norms for players
In a large game, a reliable player asked the mods to extend the game for Easter. The request was general and largely in the name of other player: "Hey guys, it's Easter, and in a big game, some people will probably be traveling to see family." The extension was granted, and requests like that are likely to be accepted.

Testing a possible new variant
I've made a simple Diplomacy variant, but I haven't tested it. Would this be the place to (perhaps) gain some testers?

Noob question
Hi, long time dipper, first time vdipper. Is it possible to enter orders using an android phone, or do I have to wait to get in front of a PC? The orders field just says "loading order" and nothing else happens.

Apologies for the stupid question, and hello!

Bot wars
I've been wondering how well you could write a script to play gunboat diplomacy. Probably not very well (at least to begin with!), but it would be fun to try. I don't really have the time to do this properly right now, but I'm interested to know if it has been done before, or whether anyone would be keen to try at some point in the future.

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.

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.

Emperor Frederick Barbarossa drowned in the Saleph River. Someone said Frederick was thrown from his horse and the shock of the cold water caused him to have a heart attack and someone other said he weighed down by his armour and he drowned in water that was barely hip-deep.
Correct, Maucat.

Now name Charlemagne's father.

Alternately Toronto and Quebec City, Queen Victoria chose Ottawa as the permanent capital of the Province of Canada to end the rivalry between Quebec and Ontario.
Maucat (1834 D)
30 Jan 18 UTC
It seems that nobody knows where the Senate of Rome met on the day of Caesar's murder, I'll tell you so.

In the 709 ab Urbe condita (44 BC) the main seat of the Senate was moving from the Curia Cornelia to the new Curia Iulia still under construction in the Forum, the Senate met in the Curia Pompeia a smaller building part of the great complex of the Teatro di Pompeo, in the Campo Marzio. Now in the modern Rome what remains of the Curia Pompeia is situated in a large square called "Largo di Torre Argentina".
Correctly spell the "stan" beginning with K. Then name its capital.

Very interesting... I'm surprised the Romans knew about Beijing, it wasn't the capital until Kublai Khan moved it there in, uuuh, 1300ish, or am I wrong?

While that's a question I'd be happy to have answered, here is another of mine: What is Mithridate, and what/who/where is it named after?

Pretty sure I have recollections from listening to Mike Duncan's the History of Rome podcast that the Romans had knowledge of the Chinese, especially when it came to trade, although I don't recall if they knew the names of the cities. But I'm sure that's more than likely.
