Best map variants ever made
Which maps variants are best designed in your opinion. Not necessarily your favorites. I’m thinking those that give fun and interesting gameplay for all players, but you can use your own criteria.

Phase Swap?
In the "Create a New Game" tab, when you select the "custom phase length" option, a new drop-down menu appears: "Time Until Phase Swap." It has options ranging from "No phase switch" to 6 hours. I can't find any documentation on what this does. Does anyone know? Does it make retreats and builds shorter than movement turns? Any help would be appreciated!

Provocative Question
If Xi Jinping had been recruited as a long term, deep cover agent by the CIA (perhaps during his visit to Iowa) a la Günter Guillaume, Anthony Blunt or Eleanor Iselin, what would the CIA have him doing differently to sabotage China as a potential competitor of the USA?

How does the Rank system work?
I'm curious why everyone else with 1800+ points are "Diplomat" but I am ranked as "Experienced".
kaner406 (2103 D Mod (B))
20 Oct 22 UTC
Good question, maybe the title changes according to D-points and not V-ranking?
Macca573 (1517 D)
20 Oct 22 UTC
It's according to what percentile you are in.
top 5/10/20/50/90/100% for each title.

You can see it if you hover over your title.
GOD (1791 D Mod (B))
20 Oct 22 UTC
Yeah no, because kaner and I are both „Diplomats“ at 1% and 5% respectively, while Xenon with 2% is „experienced“…
GOD (1791 D Mod (B))

I think that kaners dip points theory might be correct, but it’s good to see that we mods can only theorise as well.

Before the vdip scoring system got introduced, we had the vdip points only. Hence, sometimes there were big-stakes games often, where you could win or lose a lot. Like a casino, but with less of a luck factor in it.

It was also a way to keep rookies out, if you wanted. Since everyone starts with 100 points, a game with a say 300 points buy-in would surely only include experienced players.

Now that the vdip system is well established, people don’t often put up high-stakes anymore, hence there is less movement there and it’s more of a relic of the past.

So Games like this, gameID=22411, but actually looking back 400 was already a huge buy in.

New column in the variants list?
Was browsing statistics and was thinking it would be sweet to see the standard deviation of the performance values listed on the variants list page. That way you could essentially sort the collection by how balanced it is.
