Large Map Arrow Click

So the idea is, you can click through the maps but the full-size map or the large map. It'd be useful for larger variants like Gobble and WW4, rather than having to maximize each individual picture.

Colonial Diplomacy - Optional Rules: Testers needed

Finally the Colonial variant with implemented Trans-Siberian Railroad and Suez Canal is ready for a test game on the lab:
http://lab.vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=193

Feel free to join to test the new features! :-)

The main purpose of this test is to check if the new orders work as they should. So whoever plays Russia or occupies Egypt should feel free to make extensive use of the new orders.

The game is a pick-your-country-game simply to avoid, that I will get some of the 'interesting' countries as I'd also like to find out if the adjusted order interface is still user friendly.

As I have some important exams in a few weeks, possible bug fixes may take some time.

So the Suez rule and the TSRailway rule is included?

kaner406 (2088 )
18 Apr 14 UTC

^or are they optional on game startup?

tobi1 (1997 )
18 Apr 14 UTC

Yes, they are. The Suez rule is slightly adjusted to avoid paradoxes, but all in all everything should work as it is stated in the original rules of the variant.

tobi1 (1997 )
18 Apr 14 UTC

That was for the first question.

I've chosen the name 'optional rules' as they are introduced as such in the original rules and we've already got the variant 'Colonial Diplomacy'.

Agreed, tobi! Thank you for taking up this task.

There is still one open spot in the test game that needs to be filled.

tobi1 (1997 )
20 Apr 14 UTC

Come on! 3 hours remaining to fill the last spot. It's just a test game, not much time needs to be invested. But I'd be very happy, if another player joins in time. :-)

tobi1 (1997 )
20 Apr 14 UTC

Hm, seems like the chosen pre-game period was to short. Here is the second try with 10 days pre-game period. Hopefully we will get it started this time.

http://lab.vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=195

Thanks to everybody who has already joined the first try.

tobi1 (1997 )

Bump! There are still 3 open spots ... :-)

What are the requirements I need to test?

tobi1 (1997 )
23 Apr 14 UTC

As stated in the first post of this thread, the main purpose of the game to check if the complex TSR-Order and the Move via Suez Canal work as exspected. I could have checked this myself on a local server and, of course, have done it a lot so far, but it is simply boring to play a lot games against 6 times yourself. ;-)
Furthermore I'd like to find out if the changed/added options of the order interface to enter the new order types are still user friendly and if the rules are coherent.
As the variant is a implementation of the already existing variant 'Colonial Diplomacy' I do not expect feedback about stuff like the position of SCs etc.
So as the interesting spots for Russia and Turkey are already taken, your main task would be to simply play the game and hopefully have some fun.

Invalid game ID?

tobi1 (1997 )
24 Apr 14 UTC

You had to copy the whole URL as the game is not played on this platform but on lab.vdiplomacy.com.
But the game already started so you can't join anymore. Thanks for your interest.
In a few weeks the variant is probably ready for vdip as well so it can be played here anyway.

World Dipcon (Chapel Hill)

The World Dipcon tourney is approaching Memorial Day Weekend (May 20-22) and is being held in Chapel Hill, NC.
Housing is relatively inexpensive as is the entry fee.(Foreign travelers stay for free)
I am making my very first face to face tournament appearance and hope many here also make that jump as well. Do consider it and if you ARE going let us know!

WII recreation

Hi everyone. Since the variant exists, i want to make a team game of variantID=87 (GB,France, SU vs Germany and Italy). That obviously has one major weak point. it's three (21 SCs) against two (14 SCs), with a difference of seven SCs. Those are my thoughts on that so far:

Anyone up for giving this a go? It's like the normal classic, with the ability to send anonymous messages in addition to normal ones. I was thinking it would be 1 day phase, Anon, and full press. I'm not bothered about buy-in.

Does anyone have an explanation for why Prussia didn't take Holland from France? RH moved to HOL with support from KIE. It seems that the support was cut, but I don't see any moves to KIE.

This game hasn't started yet, but France NMR'd for spring 01 so we need a replacement. Since this is gobble earth, France has territory all over the map. It'd be good to get a replacement and you won't start at any disadvantage.
