Best variant for a series?
I will be starting a new series of games on one variant, similar to the WWII Gunboat Series. But I can't choose one variant. . . and I don't know what you all think about Gunboat/Public Press/All messages. Anybody want to comment?

Reliability Question
In general, I love the idea of the reliability score, and how it helps to keep games from being ruined by sore losers/less-committed players.

However, I think the formula may need a tweak as it is unintentionally punishing long-time players (like myself).

Mod-paused games
Hey Mods, could you please tell us, when pausing a game, why you are pausing that game, and for how long. For example, I am in a game called NMS war. It has been paused be you, mods, for more than a week with no explanation and no end in sight. When you send the message to a game that you are pausing it, could you include why, and for how long? Thank you for reading this.

Dear Sirs!
If somebody noticed in WebDiplomacy scripts package we got script called Graph. I tried to finish it but I can't cope with all this and it does not work correctly. I do not understand what are the percentages painted in gray color? Someone is working on this? I've added on my site. You can take a look here:

New 3 Person Variant, Thoughts?
Here is the current mock up of a 3-player variant I created, Triduum. Y'all are smarter than me about this stuff so discuss it or something, if you don't mind.

One more thing: The dark blue things are rivers. They are not provinces themselves but show that all of the provinces in the game are coastal. Both fleets and armies can cross over rives, say, from Grau to Blanc and Grau to Rouge

Look interesting. My only concern is the low number of SC's. This may make the game vulnerable to

... vulnerable to one player early outgrowing the other two and thereby leave little room for diplomatic comebacks by the other two.

Let's say one power gains 2-3 SC's by the first two years and the other two fail to coordinate and thus gets only one each at best (seems viable) -then the game will soon be over (Maybe it's not a bad thing, but it's one that should be considered)

I must say, whatever this variant may be, "interesting" is not one of its qualities. Just being honest here

I think Red is at a slight disadvantage.
By the way: I personally think we already have a very good 3-player map, namely Treaty of Verdun, but no good 4-player map...
Red is at a disadvantage, but overall I think it is quite nice.
Ninjanrd (1248 D)

It's a small map that I'm using to work on my coding/developing skills. If this is successful, my goal is to create a perfectly (or at least close to) symmetric 4 player map. Also, @everyone that says red is at a disadvantage... Would you mind elaborating? They are closer to the top two centers than green and blue are to the bottom two.

Mercy, I think Atlantic Colonies is a great 4 player map. Nicely balanced, hard to stalemate. It is my favourite variant here actually.
Mercy (2131 D)
09 Apr 16 UTC
I forgot about that map. Indeed, it's a good one. The only downside I see is that it sometimes costs effort to see things well.
@Ninjanrd: It's because in three steps, Hoshi can only be reached by blue; Byeol only by green; Xing only by red and blue; Daw only by red and green. So blue and green have a center for three while red must potentially fight for his. Also, blue can just try to go to Bay do Ola and green to Bay iz Zdravstvuyte, and if it bounces, they can always go to their guaranteed center in two years.
But honestly, I think the map plays too slow. In a gunboat, it likely costs two years before anyone can build something.
Ninjanrd (1248 D)

@Mercy how would you suggest making the gameplay faster?

Change the three line connecting prism and three home centers to three bridges. Meanwhile let the players choose their innitial type of units. Guess it would be greater fun.
Nice try!

Max. turns?
How is the number of turns counted? How many turn are there on a year: 2, 3, 5 or does it vary between 2 and 5 depending on if there are retreats and builds? I hope it does not vary since I want to specify "end after build 1908".

Where's the EU check-in vis a vis Slowness of vDip website of late
Previously, vDip website requested check-in at sign on - required by European Union, Oli said. Altho all objected we complied. Wouldn't you agree that this website is overloaded or too slow to process recently & that if the Mods agree, we jettison Forum? Hands up who'll use the [phew!] other Diplomacy gaming forums. (& don't those non-vDip specific inquiries belong on 'zine sites & the 'zine's successors' sites: Diplomacy World &c., &c.?
