gameID=39145
This is really a message for mods. .. but I am not getting any response in the ModForum. I have been unable to load orders in the above game for a number of days now .. and am receiving increasingly threatening messages about missing turns and a possible ban. I can't communicate with any of the other players in the game. Does anyone know what is going on?

"Theoretical" Game
So there's a map called Fubar (https://vdiplomacy.com/variants.php?variantID=39). Let's say I created a game called "HA! Pranked!" where it was choose your own country (So I choose the big one), and then I make the SC count to win 8 (greater than any other country has, except the big one which starts with 10). 5 other people are foolish enough to join the game. Would I just win automatically then?

Sealanes Question
Say I am in the Sealane territory of X SW, and I’m attacking an adjacent Y sea territory, but the Y itself not Y SW/N etc. And I support myself in, can the Y territory retreat into my exposed X sea territory, despite me attacking from X SW?

Move Didn't Go Through
I was looking for clarification from the Mod team as to why a certain unit was not dislodged in a gunboat game with 1.5 day phases, so I sent a message in the Mod forum yesterday morning. I haven't received a response and the next phase of the game is about to go through. What is the proper action in this situation? Should I vote extend and hope for a last-minute extend? Thanks for advice.

Changes to make PPSC better
Currently, the PPSC system rewards points in a solo. It has a number of perverse effects on gameplay. In the subsequent post(s), I will outline changes that could reform PPSC and reduce its detrimental impact.

Google Translate Game
Hello everyone! I am looking for six other players to join a game of Classic(probably, another variant if more want to play), public press, where every player must send messages after putting them through several other languages and then back into English.

I am open to suggestions on exactly which languages and how many there should be.

In an attempt to clear the chatinterface a bit I changed the tabs.

Decompressive Backseat Orchidectomy Restart
For those that were in this cancelled game (over the technical gaff beyond our control), I’ve recreated the game as Decompressive Bilateral Backseat Orchidectomy. Message me, G-Man, for the password. This is just a restart for the same group of players that had already been playing this game. So, no newcomers please.

Conceding/Withdrawing from a game
Sorry if this is a well-flogged dead horse, but I've looked in the 'Help' section and can't seem to find an answer to this. Is it possible to concede a game - I don't mean voting for a concede result, but for a player to unilaterally withdraw from the game deliberately?

Sorry if this is a well-flogged dead horse, but I've looked in the 'Help' section and can't seem to find an answer to this.

Is it possible to concede a game - I don't mean voting for a concede result, but for a player to unilaterally withdraw from the game deliberately, without running down their clock and using up any excused NMRs?

An example might be that you have one SC left and a unit on it, which cannot meaningfully do anything and which may be forced to retreat and several inputs still be required from that player before they are finally eliminated (eg. final SC taken in Spring, unit still exists in Autumn, may need to retreat, needs to be destroyed in Winter) understandably players in my games* have sometimes lost interest when they are obviously defeated yet still needed to enter some inputs for the game to proceed, it leads to the game taking a very long time to get over those hurdles and can result in an overall loss of interest in the game entirely.

I do not believe that this is possible.

Obviously there are marginal cases like the one you described where it would be useful (i.e. where there is literally nothing left to do but formalize a defeat) but I think a broader concern is that it would encourage quitting instead of playing out difficult or losing positions, which harms the quality of games.

Additionally... never say never! In the situation you described it's still possible survive by convincing someone to vacate your last sc (even if it is often tremendously unlikely).

I’ve survived as a one-center power before. It can happen. The key is to either wedge yourself into a border position between other powers so that taking you out would give one power an advantage, or to make yourself indispensable, or at least extremely helpful, to any draw. Sometimes goodwill will prevail over draw whittling. While you can’t always do this, and some losses aren’t going to be anything more than you described, you learn a lot in defeat, and it’s helpful to the integrity of the game, so these positions are worth playing out. This is worth passing on to other players who want to abandon these positions.
ineptmule (1076 D)

These are fair points, and I certainly share your position at least to a degree. I’ve always tried to remain engaged with games that I’ve lost until I am finally wiped out.

That said, seeing as the game does allow for a civil disorder result after X number of missed deadlines, it seems a bit odd to enforce the reaching of those deadlines onto the rest of the players. Certainly I’ve noticed the main outcome be an overall death of interest in the game, which is a shame. My friends are playing a classic game where Russia, Austria, Germany and France (me) are all defeated or very close to, but because Russia and Austria started being slow to respond to prompts to get their orders in, the game has dragged and now all the remaining players are kind of done with it despite the game looking to me (as a defeated player no less!) to be at a very interesting juncture indeed.

If you're being mullered in a game, just do what you can to survive - in all events keep fighting for the sake of the other players. Sometimes games do run slow because, gosh, people have RL, which includes all the normal and sometimes abnormal bumps in the road that happen.

When you sign up for a game of football, because your side is getting thrashed and it feels pointless you don't walk off because you know damn well there will be consequences. And their damned well should be, the clue is in 'unilaterally'... my feeling on this is that if you want the option of resigning from a game, play something like Chess, where your refusal to participate affects only you - don't join a 7 player game where your action will degrade the game for everyone else.

There must be no such option.

That's what RR is for. You weed out the quitters, among others. Set games with high RR requirements, and then people who bail when they lose quickly won't be eligible to join.

Why can't you view anything besides the public chat in archives?
Look I understand why you can't watch it during the game, since you could Pm players the details, but after a game has ended, I want to be able to view alliances, deals, and other things that you just couldn't see in the normal chat.

Manifest Destiny map issue
