Developers, I beg you!!

Dear v-Dip developers,
I strongly approve both the institution of the reliability rating system in this site and the current restrictions to “unreliable” players, but I’m going to ask you to evaluate a possible improvement:

mongoose998 (1344 )
26 Dec 11 UTC

interesting....

Decima Legio (1987 )
26 Dec 11 UTC

- games open to everyone
- games open to players >95% reliability rating
- games open to players 100% reliability rating only

I’m writing this cause I’m fed up of CDs, NMRs and all the issues related to.
I think I can write this request in behalf of the “reliable” players here.

Well, it’s just an idea (perhaps it’s not even a new idea), it’s up to you to decide whether it’s going to benefit this site or not. Personally I think it will.

Decima Legio

mongoose998 (1344 )
26 Dec 11 UTC

heh heh, interrupting troll post.. that is a swell idea, but would there be any big difference b/w >95 and 100 only?

Decima Legio (1987 )
26 Dec 11 UTC

Yes, if you have a look at the formula, there is quite a big difference, but that's not the real point of the discussion.
I can propose:
- games open to everyone
- games open to players >98% reliability rating
if you like, but the point is that I'd like to play a game where I'm reasonably sure that the others X players do the same (expecially for anonymous games).

Grand Admiral Thrawn (1207 )
26 Dec 11 UTC

What if someone missed one phase and lost that 100% and thus couldnt get in?

Decima Legio (1987 )
26 Dec 11 UTC

Nobody can foresee the future.
Those limitations should apply at the moment when you join a game.
I think it would be hard to implement an exclusion from the joining list because your RR dropped down after you joined.
Anyway, if you’ll filter the game access for people with (for example) 100+ active phases the problem will hardly occur.
However, I don’t want to propose too many restrictions, I’ll be happy if my first proposal will be accepted.

Oli (977 )
26 Dec 11 UTC

At the moment the reliability-rating just limits the ammount of games you can join at once, but I will implement a setting to set a minimum RR and a minimum turns played sometime in the future. It's a really easy change and very obvious.

Oli (977 )
26 Dec 11 UTC

But the community here is very small and we already have a really good ratio from open to active games (in comparison the the main webdip site)

aha! There is nothing I love more than proving diplomat wrong! I have missed 1 phase, and yet due to my 503 not missed phases, the percent comes so close to 100%, the whole number rounding system brings it up. so there goes your theory Diplomat!
*victory dance*

Decima Legio (1987 )
27 Dec 11 UTC

Thanks Oli, I'm really looking forward to seeing those settings on

I've been involved with webDiplomacy and vDiplomacy for close to 3 years and I have to say that this is among the better suggestions for improvement that I have seen.

# Reliabilty Rating: 100% (missed 1 of 338 phases)

gopher27 (1606 )
27 Dec 11 UTC

Oli, that is a travesty. I am horrified that mongoose's rating has rounded up. I demand truncation, at least at the very top. I hereby call into existence:
Diplomats
Demanding
Truncation

mongoose998 (1344 )
27 Dec 11 UTC

Well gopher I am the perfect adversary of the ddt. Many people will argue that the missed phase was .not their fault. Power outs, family issues etc..
I went away one weekend and left can in cfharge of my account. It was he who missed a phase, not I. Why shud I be penalized with a less then perfect record?

SacredDigits (978 )
27 Dec 11 UTC

My missed phase was because I went away for a weekend and JUST DIDN'T GIVE A SHIT.

Uh, actually because my wife's smartphone was much more of a mystery to me than I thought it would be. Next time, test in advance.

gopher27 (1606 )
27 Dec 11 UTC

All great transcendent ideologies are at base obsessions with purity. Communism with class purity; Nazism with racial purity; Falangism with religious purity. I offer DDTism as an answer to the quest for Diplomatic purity. There is perfection and there is impurity. There is almost perfect but there is not almost pure. There is purity and there is impurity. There is is and there is is not. There can be no almost.

mongoose998 (1344 )
27 Dec 11 UTC

Gopher, good sir, your, beef, as we young people say, is not with sacred and I (the represenataives of the missed phase community, but with the algorithim. There are no decimals, simply rounds. With the most simple of set ups(%=notMissedTurns/total)*100)rounded up] I could afford to miss 18 phases and still hold onto 100%. If you wish to fite, u may fight with oli, but a quik heads up: noone beats olin

Phenomenal suggestion -- bravo! There has been a CD or crucial set of NMRs in 5 out of the 6 games I've played here. I think this would really help. Also, games with phases of at least 2 days seem to help on both counts. (It's so easy to NMR on a one-day phase.)

gopher27 (1606 )
27 Dec 11 UTC

I presume that "beef" has been superseded amongst the young by some newer more au courant bit of slang. I'm fairly confident that the sell by date on such in group speech patterns is well below 25 years. We demand truncation today, truncation tomorrow, truncation forever.

dD_ShockTrooper (1154 )
28 Dec 11 UTC

Truncation would be fine, if there was no option to select 100% reliability only games. I'm sure everyone will at some point, miss 1 phase because it was simply out of their power and there was nothing they could do. (not even planning ahead, because they didn't know beforehand!)

dD_ShockTrooper (1154 )
28 Dec 11 UTC

Also, players with no phases completed should have 0% reliability listed, if that is not the case already. (I can see idiots creating new accounts to join the top reliability games because their current one has 10% or something)

As part of the vDip 1% I insist the other 99% stop missing phases and shove their demands for the right to CD in my games where the sun doesn't shine...

100% (missed 1 of 591 phases)
midterms coinciding with my computer powersupply meltdown were responsible for my impurity..

Venetia (1587 )
28 Dec 11 UTC

And what about a rating that takes into account the history of missing phases? With equal phases missed and played, to reliability is higher for the player who hasn't missed for longer?

butterhead (1272 )
28 Dec 11 UTC

hmm, my computer says I have missed 0 outta 790 phases... when in all actuality it's more like 8 out of 790... either way I would still be at either 99% or 100% but... just saying, you can afford to miss a few phases and still have 100%(laughs in the face of Diplomat)

Grand Admiral Thrawn (1207 )
28 Dec 11 UTC

its better to actually miss none which i have done.

butterhead (1272 )
28 Dec 11 UTC

yea well one of my misses happened when my sitter was sitting for me(cough cough ass hole)...

Alcuin (1454 )
17 Jan 12 UTC

I've missed one phase out of 1500 and I agree there should be games specifically for the reliable. I also suspect being a multiple player and dropping one out in a game like Rinascimento would be easy to do and impossible to detect.

Grand Admiral Thrawn (1207 )
17 Jan 12 UTC

Call me an @$$hole eh? I had to go to the stinking hospital. Its not my fault!

gopher27 (1606 )
17 Jan 12 UTC

So you have missed a phase then, Diplomat? Impure! Impure, I cry. I mock your claims of blemishlessness.

Fresh account up for grabs

Hi everyone. So a friend of mine tried to get me into vdip a few weeks ago, but unfortunately though I'm not going to be able to keep playing for personal reasons. I am in 1 Haven game, they have already had a couple of player disappear so I'm really just trying to do my best to not leave them in the lurch. I am in a pretty good position, equal third out of 19 in terms of supply centres. http://vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=4966

1066 variant description

I just barely hung on till the end as England in my very first game of 1066, based on the fact that

b) I didn't understand whatsoever from the description that Hadriens wall actually has a moveable norwegian unit on it.

team-diplomacy!

i just came up with this variant: you play as 1 country with 2 players, either switching turns (autumn and fall i guess, otherwise someone could get only retreats and builds for example, on the other side, now the builds are for one dude...) or both players have to save and ready the same orders, being able to see the ones of the other and maybe a simple agree button to prevent mistakes... is this possible and/or a good idea?

New setting idea (see below)

You know how recently a turn limit was added to game (as in a game ends after x years). What if there was an elimination limit?
As in after x players were eliminated the game ends. Thoughts? While this wouldn't work on smaller maps, for the larger maps this could add an interesting pin on the play.
