Nexus Cold War Tournament

Looks like the Nexus is going to do a Cold War tournament too (they did one last summer also) in a week or so. So if you want a second chance or just really love Cold War you can go to https://discord.gg/P5vyvz8.

So far it seems pretty balanced but I may need to run another test to make sure.

Touchy Diplomacy

I'm not sure if I can advertise games on this forum but I started a Touchy diplomacy game called Touchy Diplomacy. I've really wanted to try it out so I would love it if I could get some people to get the game started!

Black Lives Matter

I saw that WebDip has put a little header on their website in support of Black Lives Matter and the protests in the United States. I thought it was a really good way to use their platform for good and I was wondering if Vdip could do something similar?

What is a "turn"?

I was just wondering what counts as a turn, for example for "extend the first X turns". Is "Spring 1901" a turn, or does it count all phases, or does it count the movement and build phases but not retreat?

Reliability

Is it possible to increase reliability rating? I know i can take over games to get unexcused turns back, but does that increase reliability?

Your Reliability Rating increases from playing more phases that you don't miss.

Sort of, take me for example:

Yearly Turns: 595, but Total Counted Missed Turns: 2
Base Percentage: 99.663865546218%
(100* (1 - Yearly Missed Turns/Yearly Turns))

Added Penalties: Yearly Unexcused Missed Turns: 2 for a penalty of 10%
Total: Reliability Rating: 89.663865546218

Also I have: Compensated by Take-Overs Within the Last Year: 7 - but this does not affect reliability, just number of games you can be in at once I think.

So this means that until I reach October 2020 (when I missed a turn) I will be 89%.
So, even if I played 10,000 out of 10,000 phases on time, the -10% penalty will not let me get to 90% reliability until Oct. So time passing is part of recovery of reliability, not just phases.

That used to drive me nuts, but in retrospect it really is fair in that people who earn high reliability deserve to be in the ultra high reliable games and avoid the turmoil of NMRs. It's good incentive for all of us and makes the games better in the long run. I want to be in the 99%!

Yes, but what I don't find fair is that if I play thousands of phases and miss one, I have about the rr as someone who plays 10 and misses one

Wait, the current system doesn't differ missed turns of going to civil disorder? These ARE different things

Suggestion: Close chat option

On large variants, having lots of chats open makes the mobile interface quite cumbersome. It'd be nice if we could close chats, or if chats with dead people closed automatically.

Which font do you use to make texts in diplomacy variants?

I'm trying to create a variant in Photoshop, but I don't know which font to use to write the names of the places; it gets foggy when it is very small. Does anyone know what kind of font I use?

New Concept: Squadrons

This is just an idea I had: What if there were squadrons (a group of planes) in vDip?
They would be able to go on both land and sea territories, but of course there's a catch, or they would be OP.
The catch: They would not be able to capture territories.
Any thoughts?

Choose Your Evil Empire

Good day.
I am playing this game and it happened to me to move a fleet and it took the order wrong and went elsewhere.
It may have been a mistake, but now, the next turn, she won't even let me give her an order. It doesn't show me like a fleet of mine in the game.
How do you do with these things?

Thinking of creating a Divided States variant, but in Brazil

I really like the Divided States variant. And I think it would be really cool in a Brazilian version too, and I'm thinking about creating it. But would that be considered a copy or something?

New to Site: Playing Games With Fewer Players

So, I'm new to the site and am trying to play with a group of friends as a way to stay in contact with each other. There are 6 of us. All of us are new to Diplomacy, and figured it'd be best to play on the Classic map first, but noticed it's for 7 players. Is there a way to pick the Classic map variant but only play with 6 people instead of 7? I can't seem to find anything talking about that. Thanks!
