Looking for someone to replace me
Hello, I recently joined a Europa Renovatio as Sweden but recently I’ve been losing interest in it and don’t really feel like playing it al that much anymore but I also don’t want to hold up the game by not putting in my orders so I was wondering if anyone would like to replace me? We’re only at around the 3rd diplomacy game and you should be able to view it by clicking on my profile

Listing pronouns
One of the pitfalls of online Diplomacy I fall into is that I often don't know the genders of my fellow players and get the pronouns wrong. As far as I'm aware, the site doesn't yet have a feature for us to list the pronouns we use. Maybe we could all start listing the pronouns we use in our profile quotes to cut down on the confusion and ambiguity? I went ahead and put mine there.

Question about NMR and Civil Disorder
I don't really understand how the NMR and Civil Disorder mechanics work here on vdip. We're playing a casual unrated game with a group, but one of the players wants out for personal reasons.
What settings do you have for the game?

Just posting the rest of my post since it couldn't be in the OP:


What happens if the player doesn't submit orders for consecutive turns? Will the player's pieces go to Civil Disorder or will the game just lock down, or something else entirely?

I've looked around on the site but haven't been able to discern what happens in this case.

Settings should be the standard settings I think. On the page of the game it reads:

2 excused NMR / regain after 5 turn(s) / extend the first 3 turn(s)

The usual process is for a player to simply not log orders in and in your case, they need to do that twice. The position then CD's and will be listed as an available takeover. The problem here is that any player might take it and that might not suit them or your group. Also, 2 lost turns may be annoying for the remaining players.

For a player to voluntarily leave and be replaced requires a Mod to do that personally, but if you have a replacement player available, likely a Mod will do that for you, allowing you all to continue your game.

So recruit a new player for your group, make sure they have an active account and have your leaving player supply this information (plus game number of course) through the link at the top right 'Modforum'.

If it's a group of friends playing the game, then probably it's a private game? In that case, you need to password to take over the position. So the power would just remain in CD, unless you find a replacement
The other option you have is to organise a replacement before anyone goes into CD and swap them out using the country switch tool, which the departing player has in their account settings.

Remember, the country switch tool is only for temporary replacements. Contact the Mods for a permanent solution.

Escalation Variant
I was wondering if anybody knows if it is possible to play the escalation variant on here? Ideally, Escalation can be played with less than seven players, or possibly more than seven players. But I am not seeing any sort of option to play Escalation, does anybody know if that is possible?

Standardized Diplo-Language?
I was wondering if anyone has ever come up with a standard language of diplomacy commands so as to maintain anonymity while playing an anon game among friends. If you're playing with friends, you can tell who is who by how they write. Thanks for any comments or ideas.

Random Idea for variant
I guess this would be tricky to code, but how is this idea for vDip?

During a build phase and where a power has available build capacity, any unit sitting in a supply centre may be boosted by a power of 1, ie, doubled. This unit will require twice the normal ongoing supply maintenance.

VP
Kinda curious on VP... I understand that the gains are lesser as one gets higher, but how does one player (for example) get to over 2000 with under 12 total games and only 1 win? I know its not that consequential in the grand scheme of things. but as I get to a moderately respectable total, the vp gains from a win or draw seem trivial and disproportionate to lost vp when losing. How does VP calculations actually work?

Giving SCs up in order to prevent a solo win.
What’s the opinion of everyone when it comes to giving up ones SCs to a non-leader in order to help prevent a solo win? Good strategy or cheating?

Dropping out due to life getting too busy/complicated
Hi all, I am not sure how but I have seen it before. How do I drop out of all my games if I just do not have the time for it anymore? I would hate to ruin the ongoing games my fellow players are in and would like to have a way to drop out without a penalty. Would be greatly appreciated!! :)

Question on retreats
Hello all, I haven't found a satisfying answer on it on this page. So to clarify it ones and for all: If two units bounce into one territory, does this prevent a third unit to retreat into it in the upcoming retreat phase?

Thanks for the answer! I hope this thread helps others too.

Subject: Can't create new game with custom phase length

I'm trying to create a game with 42-hour phases, but keep getting this error: "The phase value is too large or small; it must be between 5 minutes and 10 days."
I was able to do this a few years ago without any problem: gameID=32997
