obsolete Sengoku variant
Hi all, designer of Sengoku here. I would love to get the latest version of Sengoku in use on this system, as it is much more balanced. Found here: http://dipwiki.com/index.php?title=Sengoku
Even if the DP system, can't be used, the version at http://nairenvorbeck.angelfire.com/ is still better than the one in use currently. Poor Mori needs a fair chance :-) Anyone willing/able to help me get these implemented?

It's time to talk about Scoring
Hello all!

Let's talk about scoring? More specifically, about whether the dreaded Points Per Supply Center (PPSC) scoring should remain an option?

1 v 1 games on variant maps
I am not a coder (sic) so I was wondering how hard is/was it to code 1 v 1 games? Is it reasonable to think that variant maps (Modern, Ancient Med, etc) could be set up to create 1 v 1 games? The idea of having a larger group of countries to play against each other is intriguing. I just don't know if it possible, or doable.

How old school are you?
I am not very tech savvy so forgive me. I think I started dip on some RSS pages using Netscape at work in maybe 1996(?) does that make sense? All email based through Judges. What were they called? USDJ or something. I remember FROG but they all spoke French. Haha. I used to stand outside my office in the snow smoking a cig with a hand drawn map with about 100 crossing out for each phase using coloured pens. Ah web based interactive maps?!?! Luxury!!!

Napoleonic Variant, and the lack of neutral centers
I had the honor to play 'Napoleonic' back in the lab (an awful game as Spain by the way). I had a question back then which I ask here and now:

Why there are no neutral supply centers?

New Maps
I'm super new to the site and I was curious how new maps were made and/or submitted. I noticed a lot of the maps look a bit old and it got me thinking about what it would take to create a higher resolution version of a game map. Are there certain file formats a map must be in or is this all a responsibility for site admins only? Thanks!

Imperium Diplomacy
Under the variants, I noticed one called Imperium Diplomacy, but was not able to create a game using this variant. Is it a discontinued variant, or under a different name? It looks like an interesting one, especially the beginning turns.

Custom phase bug
This might be better in the Mods section, but I thouht I'd post here first to see if other users have any input.

I'm trying to create a new game with a custom phase length. When I select "Custom" from the drop-down menu, nothing happens. However, when I select "2 days, 2 hours", I've given the option to input a phase length. Hopefully this is an easy fix.

You honest opinion on a no lynch today?

Im assuming he did a no kill just as I said. Since you didnt claim a doc save on uber or yourself. Youd have gotten a message had you done so

Strategically bozo would aim for uber since yer on the fence and hes not
brainbomb (662 D)
22 Oct 17 UTC
So if you need that layer of varification. We can no lynch and see but again, even saying this lends itself to wifom because he can just do the opposite and try to paint it as evidence to try to use contrivance on uber
bozo (2302 D)
22 Oct 17 UTC
@mouse: I am fine with a no lynch. It puts us back in the same situation D6, but gives you and uber more information. However, there is a good chance one of you will not be around to vote D6. Also, since uber is currently voting for me, a no lynch is obviously better than lynching me and letting mafia win the game.

¤yoi claimed teacon was right and I have a history of fake claiming and used my meta to gain an edge as scum and tried to flush out the cop.

1. My meta history actually has a far greater frequency of faking as town. In two instances as scum I never fake claimed. The only time ive ever faked as scum was the game where I did so with moments left in the day in M30.

¤you claimed I opportunistically voted day one.

1. If voting for a no lynch, snowy twice, you once, ezio for pressure purposes, mouse while intoxicated, and ghug out of frustratiion counts as opportunism, how do you describe your own voting habits?
brainbomb (662 D)
22 Oct 17 UTC
¤when I presented my case against you having gradual deterioration in participation you replied that I was manipulating facts to uber and mouse.

¤when I pointed out you voted ghug because he is dangerous you had no reply

¤when I pointed out you said you werent scumreading me or teacon - later that same phase you dropped scumreads on uber and mouse and posited myself or teacon could be scum and used teacons inability to acknowledge crumbs being irrelevant as a means to justify hos lynch.
You had no retort to thos

@uber: Please let me know if you have any questions for me as well. I can't respond to all of brainbomb's palaver because he is either misrepresenting facts or is not talking about things that are indicative of being mafia.
bozo (2302 D)
23 Oct 17 UTC
@mouse and uber: All of us have been involved in mislynches to end up at this point in the game. Instead of letting brainbomb drive the result in his favor, please look at my and brainbomb's game history and decide who you think has been trying to win the game for town and who you think has been trying to win the game for the mafia.

@uber: brainbomb has a large volume of posts, and most of it does not provide much indication of his alignment. I was townreading him all game, so I certainly do not think there is anything obvious in his history to show that he is scum. However, looking back knowing that he is scum, here are some things that I think show his scum alignment:

1. His fake claim and reasoning behind it. brainbomb used his history of fake claiming as town to reveal the cop while making himself look like town. His justification was that scum could not counter claim after the real cop claimed. However, he said he thought DO was scum, so by claiming to have a positive scan on DO, DO could have counter claimed as scum.

2. His early voting pattern indicates he was not really scum hunting. He probably lost track and did not realize that he had voted for everyone by D2 (except Captainmeme, who coincidentally was NKed N1).

3. Making a big deal of the teacon roleblock. brainbomb must have picked up teacon's fake crumbing a PR, then tried to use the roleblock to get teacon lynched or force him to claim his PR.

4. brainbomb said he was sure Ezio and I were town. Making this kind of strong connection is scum indicative, and he in fact managed to help get us to the end as the last two uncleared town.

2. His early voting pattern indicates he was not really scum hunting. He probably lost track and did not realize that he had voted for everyone by D2 (except Captainmeme, who coincidentally was NKed N1).

I never voted uber day 1
I never voted demon day 1
I never voted meme day 1
Three of my '" opportunistic" votes day 1 were snowy twice and a no lynch.


3. Making a big deal of the teacon roleblock. brainbomb must have picked up teacon's fake crumbing a PR, then tried to use the roleblock to get teacon lynched or force him to claim his PR.

I never saw a single teacon breadcrumb of anything. Wtf are you talking about
brainbomb (662 D)
23 Oct 17 UTC
@25 min to EOD stating I would only lynch snowy DO or teacon and of course nobody joined me on snowy. Where is bozo at 25 min to EOD?

¤Bozo is still voting ghug because ghug is dangerous. Anchored. Bozo misses EOD and has no involvement in how this lynch ends.

Why did bozo scumread ghug so strongly? He never indicates anything other than he finds ghug dangerous when ghug is scum. He never connects any dots as to why ghug even is scum however.

¤bozo joined ghug opportunistically as Demon was lead off on that wagon. Demon leaves and suspects uber, suspects snowy and winds up back on ghug.

¤bozo ends up the counter wagon to ghug. And later uses the excuse he wouldve voted almost anyone to save himself. Strange opinion to have as a non pr. Dying by lynch is not the worst thing that can happen as a vt. All lynches are information.

Tactics
In year one when you just meeting everyone, maybe there anonymous but for sure you don't know any of them. How do you know who to trust?
They can be lying through their teeth and text doesn't show tone of voice or eye contact so you have no idea. If you believe them they may stab you. If you don't you venture into a DMZ and piss them off. Ask around to others and you get rumors or nothing. This game seems so much better suited to face to face.

Classic Mini-Tourney - Is there interest?
I thought about making a mini-tourney - comprising a single game - using a similar scheme to most Face-to-Face scoring systems.

Basically it'll be a Classic game, running until Fall 1907 and a PPSC structure. The bet would be 100 points - for a ultimate pot worth 700 points.
