1 SC, 0 units: a bug with the new system
Currently, I'm playing in a game where I currently have 1 SC and 0 units because my only unit was forced to disband. However, an interesting bug occurs, because the Save/Ready buttons still appear at the bottom of the screen, with no orders listed above them. Can someone fix this?

Winning target SCs don't work?
I just tried to create a Classic game with the winning number of SCs as 34 and the site just didn't want to do it. Is this a bug, or a system put in place?

Two winners in a game?
What happens if a game is set with winning conditions lower than 50% of all SCs and two players reach that goal in the same season? Is it a tie? Does the game continue until one has more?

Illogical Rating Assignments
Take a look at the following link:
https://vdiplomacy.com/hof.php?gameID=37006

Now, you can see the "brains" of the rating system. As you can see, the system deducts less from a player who CD'd than a player who kept playing and survived. Why? Shouldn't players be held accountable for their CDs?

Ready Button Retreat Bug
I'm Britain in this game:
https://www.vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=37793

I have a retreat due. There is only one valid retreat location. I click the "Ready" button, but it's not saving the retreat. We're playing with rulebook press, so there is no "save" button currently.

Hi all.

You might or might not have been aware of the tournament going on discord. (Here is a website: https://diplomacynexus.com) I saw some of you in there. But nobody made it to the finals I think.

Caucasia
I think the variant Caucasia would benefit from being played with a set end year and winner takes all. One could think of Caucasia as a tight C-diplo scoring variant.

Bone
My friend group and I have decided to shift all of our games from WebDiplomacy to VDiplomacy after the "Incident". Apologies for all of our bone games that will cloud up the search bar. However feel free to join any of them that you want, the password will always be the same, bone (unless we actually want it to be just us, in which case the password would be something else). Language may be offensive because some of my friends don't understand common decency.

Newspaper Game
A while ago, some players in threadID=80668 discussed playing another Newspaper game. Meanwhile, more than 7 players have shown their interest to participate in it, but no consensus on the specific settings of the game has been reached yet. I have created this thread to set up the next Newspaper game and discuss its settings.

limited number of games
I can only be in 2 games at once since I'm a new player on vdiplomacy, however I've played a lot of diplomacy and know how to play the game. It should include the number phases you have taken on normal diplomacy while determining how many games you can be in.

Game number 28
I've been analyzing the ratings of some players recently (Yoshimon, ksindelar, and I), and I've noticed a really odd pattern. In each of our 28th games, we've suffered a major drop in rating, but our ratings quickly bounded up in the 29th game. Is this a coincidence?

I last played, like... 10 years ago. Was watching D&D video where the guy talked about this game, and I remembered, "hey, yea, that was a lot of fun. I remember kicking ass with California!" Not sure how many people still play this? Started up a new game to go fetch some of that nostalgia.

Imperium Tournament: Official Thread
Tournament rules below.
ubercacher16 (2169 D)
22 Feb 19 UTC
Six games with each person playing each tribe, starting simultaneously.

2 day phases, anon, HDV.

Rated with a bet of 10.

Tournament scoring is 1 point for a win 0.5 for a draw(regardless of size), and 0 for a defeat.

Tiebreakers are as follows:
Whoever had more solos wins.
If solos are same, then whoever had the most SCs in their drawn games wins.
If that is the same, then whoever had the most SCs in their survived games wins.
And if that is the same, then whoever had the most fun wins!

Player list is here:
1. ubercacher16
2. Mr. Finkelmuiyer
3. Sky_Hopper
4. Temasek22
5. CCR
6. Frozen Dog

I will PM everybody the PW and trust that you join each game as a different power. It will work out so that everyone can join each game and I don't know who is who.

I also decided to moderate all the games just in case someone needs a pause or extend in a pinch, so if you need such a service just PM me.

That's all I think, let me know if I forgot anything. We can post scores to games as they finish, and discussion about ongoing games is forbidden as per site rules.

Well with our limited dataset, I was actually pleased to see a nice distribution of points among the different factions (with one exception). No country solo'd twice! Using our tournament points to determine who 'won' among the various powers, the Saxons emerged victorious, while there was a 3 way tie for 2nd.

Meanwhile, press F to pay respect to the poor Vandali, who emerged with 0 points.

1st - Saxones (2 points)
2nd - Gothi (1.5 points, tiebreak on draw of 11)
3rd - Hunni (1.5 points, tiebreak on draw of 9)
4th - Franci (1.5 points, tiebreak on draw of 7)
5th - Alamanni (1 point)
6th - Vandali (0 points)

22 Mar 19 UTC
I think I was voting draw the whole time. But by the end after Vandali was dead I was trying to grab more centers hoping that I could get higher then you CCR, I was surprised when I found out that you were the one I was taking centers from. Unfortunately my selfishness cost us the game.

I think we all lost around 50 vPoints, give or take, in this tournament. Really fun ride though, and I don't care at all (given that my rating is already in the toilet).
CCR (1957 D)
22 Mar 19 UTC
Feel what vpoints are about, undet the current system! Yes, skyhopper, i soloed twice, won the champ and still my points came back to where they were at start.
Frozen Dog (1497 D)
22 Mar 19 UTC
Yeah I think those double fleets in autumn 414 sealed the deal. After that my solo wasn't guaranteed by any means, but I knew that it was going to be possible if I got lucky a couple times (which ended up being the case).

If you had built A Ven & F Rom I probably would have drawn immediately (though of course maybe CCR would have made a solo attempt!).
