Help needed: Our 4 press-types.
Hi everybody.
I'm working on a rules-page about our 4 press-types.
Someone willing to submit some guide what these different press-types are, and what these mean for playing the game?

Imbalanced map?
It seems as if several maps need some balancing work. For example, England* v Turkey is skewed toward England, and in Rinascimento, the French are virtually at the hands of other players’ wills.

Hello, I have a problem
Hello, I have a problem. I am going away for a few days (tomorrow), and I don't know how to quit the game I am in. There are 36 players, so I cannot reasonably ask for all of them to pause --- besides, there isn't enough time --- so I am stuck.

Playing with fewer players
Hi all!

I know this is probably a noob question, but I need to resolve this issue: is it possible to start a game with fewer players than those normally expected? I tried it once with the Rinascimento variant, but the game didn't launch just because there weren't 12 players.
Thank you in advance!

Thanks to tobi1 we have a new and improved convoy-code.

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.

RSS feed for Notifications (discussion)
Hi everyone.
Don't miss PMs or game-notifications with your personal RSS-feed.
In your settings-page you can create a unique link that updates with your "Notices"-tab on your homescreen.

Feel free to post ideas for improvements or suggestions.
What's your favorite RSS-client for your platform of choice?
Enriador (1507 D)
10 Feb 18 UTC
I have been using 'Read' for Android and 'RSS Feed Reader' by feeder.co on Chrome. Both are simple and do their job well enough.

I have also tested 'Feedly', which has app and browser versions. It's really good, but the sheer amount of features was a bit too much for me.

All in all an excellent addition to vDip! Thanks Oli.

I've long wanted to have select diplomacy push notifications for my phone. I'm trying to combine the RSS feature with a reader app to make that happen. I'm testing the "ticker" app or android shortly, but I was curious: Does anyone have RSS readers that can _selectively_ send push notifications to your phone for certain feeds?
Oli (977 D Mod (P))

Anyone tried IFTTT with the rss module? Looks like the most useful tool here.
teacon7 (1674 D)
11 Feb 18 UTC
Okay so I didn't know that existed, but IFTTT is *exactly* what I was looking for.

How often does the RSS feed update? Despite playing several years of a game, the vdip RSS feed hasn't updated for any of it. Are there limits on how often/when/why the feed updates?
Oli (977 D Mod (P))
11 Feb 18 UTC
The feed is dynamic. It shows always the last 20 notices.

Also trying the IFTTT app with RSS module. Made a custom applet.
But don't have any notification yet. The app says it may take several hours before working so I guess I'll wait and see.
Oli, do the notifications work for you?
Oli (977 D Mod (P))

Did fix a lot of validation-errors tonight.
Should work now for most RSS-readers (including IFTTT -> at least it works perfect for me so far ... :-)
teacon7 (1674 D)
12 Feb 18 UTC
I set something up on IFTTT last night, and played several years of a game. Nothing updated and nothing updated... must have been waiting on Oli's error resolution. I got about 50something notifications at 11:13am today. Now the IFTTT service appears to be updating just fine - it takes a minute or so to register the change, but that's not a big deal unless you're playing a live game.

Thanks to Oli and anyone else who made this a reality! You all are the best.
Oli (977 D Mod (P))
12 Feb 18 UTC
IFTTT usually updates every 15 minutes. So I won’t rely on it for a live game. :-)
Fafa_power (992 D)

It works for me also now, it's great! Really hoping this will appear in webDip !
The RSS does not update for me using Feedly or greader. Am I doing something wrong?
Enriador (1507 D)
02 Mar 18 UTC
I got the same problem with Feedly before. Switched to 'Read' app and still no updates. Every notification you got *before* you used the app does appear, but it never updates.

Hi, I've been trying to use IFTTT with my personal RSS and it's been behaving...interestingly. It works beautifully for the first 3 or 4 entries on the feed when a new game starts, then the applets stop triggering. This has happened on two games, the RSS feed is definitely still updating but IFTTT doesn't trigger.

I got in touch with IFTTT support and they're pointing to the feed failing validation because of duplicate GUIDs as the cause. I think they're wrong because there weren't any duplicate GUIDs around the time their applets stopped in either case, but are there any plans for more updates to the RSS feature?
iAmTheCashMan (1009 D)

I've been using Feed, and it is working most of the time for new game phases, but doesn't seem to send notifications for PMs, anyone running into this issue?

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.

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.
