Game ID Question,
Dumb question I’m sure, but how do I figure out my games Gamer ID? I want to advertise my game anonymously and whatnot, but I don’t know the how to find the ID. We only need one more person, and I’m super exited to try this map out :):):):) I’d been looking for a map like this for a while and now I’m so stoked!!!!!

Please help :)

New server

Regarding the idea in the "idea" thread I posted a few days ago. I created the server. I'll be occasionally hosting vdip games on it to help them start faster if anyone is interested.

Standards of Acceptable Kibitzing
Are there any defined standards of acceptable vs unacceptable kibitzing/commentary by players during a vDiplomacy game? For example, no rascist or sexist comments? Is there a code of conduct?

Variant development questions (Pits of Horror)
Hello! I'm trying to develop a new variant and would like some help debugging some things. If anyone wants to help I would be very happy!!

I have uploaded a map.png, and a mapNames.png but I still can't see anything in the "Map" interface (some error gets thrown)?

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.

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.

Who will be chosen?
Read on...
Kaner & I just laid down another podcast episode where we agreed to a game of Hundred. Astute readers will know this is a three player game.

It will be covered in the show so if you’re interested in playing give us your best pitch & why you should be considered.

We haven’t decided yet on normal press vs gunboat.
Yeah don't all rush in and everything.

Is your podcast entitled "Diplomacy" or "Tactics"? :oP

"We haven’t decided yet on normal press vs gunboat."
Macca573 (1517 D)

Even so Gopher, it would be mostly tactics on a 3-player map.
BobMcBob (1281 D)

Indeed it would.

Also I would be a great choice for the hundred game because I'm the only one who's pitched.
Macca573 (1517 D)
12 Nov 20 UTC
Really?

Then I'll pitch too.

I'm a better choice because I'm cooler.
gopher27 (1606 D Mod)
12 Nov 20 UTC
Quite the conundrum, Amby. Do you prefer spend your time with someone who is cooler or someone who is hotter?
I have a view, but I wonder where my cohost sits?
kaner406 (2103 D Mod (B))

We could do two games, given that Bob & Macca are both going to be team mates in the webdip world cup.
Good call Kaner. That's why you should've been elected President.

Unrated ok?

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.

RSS Feed for New Games?
Does the site support RSS feeds for new games? If not via the site, is there a way to do it via 3rd party?

I'm aware of the RSS feed for notices specific to myself. I like this feature. However, if I'm looking for new games I'd like to be able to apply filters and create an RSS feed for myself - for example if I was only interested in WTA games...whenever there was new posted WTA game it would go to my feed. Thoughts, workarounds?

I was wondering if anyone knew where I could play this map? I figured it would probably be here but can't find it in the variants. (I didn't make this but I'm a big fan of it).

I made a big map viewer (to switch between turns easily)
I wanted a way to switch between turns while viewing the big map, so I put together this simple viewer app quickly: https://vdiplo-bigmap.netlify.app/ Hint: you can use the arrow keys to switch between turns.

I am currently playing my first game ever, so this may not make a lot of sense to the more experienced among you (which is all of you). Let me know if you find this helpful or not.

Cancel not Draw!
I wish in wDip engine there was not a possibility to vote draw when all the starting powers are alive. Cause multiple games are played by rookies and they do several seasons and press "vote Draw". In this case we have misunderstanding in variant statistics - tons of draws with no combat at all. If all powers left on the board -> it's not a draw! Game should be cancelled!!!
