New Feature

Dear VDiplomacy Players,

Since Oli's time maintaining the site is on the decline at the moment, a full support team has been hired to look after and update VDiplomacy.com .

To help pay for this service, we will require funding from the members of this website. However, since these contributions will be significant in the upkeep of the site, the Moderators and Oli have agreed that a reward that is a little more than just a donator icon is appropriate.

Oli spent a lot of time last night integrating a new feature which will allow users who donate a certain amount of money to the site to gain additional bonuses, in-game and out of game. For each dollar you donate, you will gain one VDip Donator Point, which can be spent on bonuses by clicking on the 'Bonuses' tab in the help menu, which you can access by clicking on the 'Help' button at the top-right of your screen. The bonuses are as follows:
