New Game page Error
I've been having this issue for the past day and I don't see any other posts about it, so I'm thinking it might just be me.
Whenever I go to check out the "New Games" page I get the following:
Error triggered: Not-paused game process-time values incorrectly set..

Diplomacy and Survivor
Since learning about Diplomacy, I've always felt that the social aspect of the game is incredibly similar to that in the reality TV show, Survivor. I'm curious, has anybody here ever genuinely considered going on the show/ auditioned to be on it?

Need some help with understanding the 'extends due to missed turns' mechanism
Hi All!

So, I have a turn I just missed (I'm a bad person). What surprised me is that the turn processed with all of my units having "hold" orders.

Black Lives Matter
I saw that WebDip has put a little header on their website in support of Black Lives Matter and the protests in the United States. I thought it was a really good way to use their platform for good and I was wondering if Vdip could do something similar?

What is a "turn"?
I was just wondering what counts as a turn, for example for "extend the first X turns". Is "Spring 1901" a turn, or does it count all phases, or does it count the movement and build phases but not retreat?

Reliability
Is it possible to increase reliability rating? I know i can take over games to get unexcused turns back, but does that increase reliability?

Your Reliability Rating increases from playing more phases that you don't miss.

Sort of, take me for example:

Yearly Turns: 595, but Total Counted Missed Turns: 2
Base Percentage: 99.663865546218%
(100* (1 - Yearly Missed Turns/Yearly Turns))

Added Penalties: Yearly Unexcused Missed Turns: 2 for a penalty of 10%
Total: Reliability Rating: 89.663865546218

Also I have: Compensated by Take-Overs Within the Last Year: 7 - but this does not affect reliability, just number of games you can be in at once I think.

So this means that until I reach October 2020 (when I missed a turn) I will be 89%.
So, even if I played 10,000 out of 10,000 phases on time, the -10% penalty will not let me get to 90% reliability until Oct. So time passing is part of recovery of reliability, not just phases.

That used to drive me nuts, but in retrospect it really is fair in that people who earn high reliability deserve to be in the ultra high reliable games and avoid the turmoil of NMRs. It's good incentive for all of us and makes the games better in the long run. I want to be in the 99%!

Yes, but what I don't find fair is that if I play thousands of phases and miss one, I have about the rr as someone who plays 10 and misses one

Wait, the current system doesn't differ missed turns of going to civil disorder? These ARE different things
