Draws impact on vdip rating
Do the number of centers a nation has when a draw happens impact the number of vdip-rating points?

Ex: Do I get more points as a 5 center turkey in a draw or a 17 center turkey in a draw? (assuming all other variables in the rating calculation are held constant)

Ties?
If you are playing a map such as Imperial Diplomacy II which has a win condition of 70 centers (out of a total 172). What happens if two people get exactly 70 centers in the same year?

Country Switch in Multiple Anon Games
Hey all, I am having several personal issues that are not allowing me to keep up with my 13 Anon games (I may have an addiction).
Instead of just going into civil order in all of them, I just found out this country switch tool.

No building Game
I am considering putting on a game with one special rule: You may not build. You have to win by force disbanding your opponents units (and then racing to the SC goal)
Would anyone be interested?

idea
i suppose i could ask this here. im thinking of creating a diplomacy discord server. one of the games on it will be vDIp along with conspiracy, web dip, and diplicity. would you guys be interested in joining for the vdip section? it certainly would not be anything like a full fledged Vdip server. just something to help set up fun games and fill games like these. i just want to gauge the interest of the community first.

Big Hitters vDip game
I'm interested in creating a new game for players with 2000+ vDip points. Password protected.

If you meet this criteria let me know here that you're interested. Once we know how many players, we can decide which variant etc.

@Battalion If you scroll down the game page, you can click on the 'Messages' tab in the bottom to read all global press. A whole new world will open for you. :)

Since the original game is finished indeed, possibly there is interest for another one?
OK, let's have another game... before I'm no longer eligible!!!

If we end up needing players, we could lower the threshold to 1750 pts.

I mean rating.
I'm in also
Ok. My score is dangerously close to dropping out of the players with 2000+ points. You know, generally because I’m a pretty player who got a lucky break in one game.

So help ol’ Amby out if you’re in the Big Hitter league by putting your hand up for a game before he becomes ineligible.
I say we start a game before the holidays start. I'm ok with most variants and phases, though would prefer 1 day 12 hrs length, it can be anon or not. Come on , don't let Amby become ineligible, : )
Thanks Desert Fox... 32 points and counting!

Suggest we lower the bar to 1750 and shoot for a 10-15 player variant, depending how many we pick up. I pushed for Modern last time, so someone else should throw out some suggestions for 10-12 player variants (and we can play Known World if we get 15). I'm open to most, unless their majorly unbalanced.
Please please please... no Known World. I’m still getting therapy from participating in the 15 game Known World tournament.
Well, if East Indies is added, that needs *only* 14. ;^)

Amby looks like you’re about to gain some points with Full Frontal Scrotal Lobotomy wrapping up, so less urgency to get this game going!

An issue with the interactive map
I note that in the interactive map it's not uncommon for the icon that cancels the order to hide the territory I'd like to select. I think this reduces interactive map usability especially in maps with smaller territories (Imperial Dip is a clear example). A simple solution would be to move the icon further away from the selected unit. I don't know how complicated it would be to implement this change tho.

Is this metagaming?
Let's say that through experience of playing in the same game as someone, I have noticed that a player has been very untrustworthy and deceiving. Am I allowed to use that knowledge in another game, and remember to be cautious around that player? Or is it metagaming?

gameID=45898 <---- that is unrelated. Just want to keep this anonymous.

Voteing to Concede to a Team
I'm just wondering if it would be possible for the DRAW votes and CONCEDE votes to be used together. If two people have been working together and will clearly win, right now, if everyone else wants to concede, only one of the victors can get the points. If DRAW could be used in conjunction, then the points could be split between DRAW voters. Obviously this would require good faith of those conceding to not choose DRAW.
