Design bug on Mate Against Mate?
The way the map is drawn makes it look like false connections exist.

The variant page lists places on the map where 4 territories touch, and describes their movement as only around, not across. This is all well and good, however, there is another location on the map where a similar event occurs, but that is not in the aforementioned list.

On the small map, the territories of Maranoa, Darling Downs, New England, and central NSW appear to be at one of the four-ways. However, if you look at the large map, you can see that that is not the case.

On the large map, a small, yet clear, adjacency between Maranoa and New England exists. This is especially oblivious if you view an ongoing game such as gameID=41594 where there is a colour difference.

So then, the question seems answered, you can move from Maranoa to New England meaning it's not a four-way and doesn't belong on the list? Wrong!

A quick look at the map info will show that these two territories to not share a moveable connection, despite clearly touching. This seems like a big issue as one can't know this unless they look at the map info (who does that?) or are already in the territory (too late to change plans now).

Is there any fix to this? It seems like it should be a problem?

Civil Disorder but can't replace player?
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I can't find it using the search.

I'm in a game with friends/co-workers and one guy quit the game. We waited the 48 hours for him to go into civil disorder, which he did, but the game isn't letting us replace him. Is it because the game is private? We have a replacement ready to go, but our former co-worker isn't answering his email and we aren't sure what we can do to not have to wait 24 hours each turn to get the game moving.

New Variant in development: Brazilian - Classic
My grandfather recently died and as I went through his things I found a prototype for a Diplomacy bootleg. He used to work in import/export in South America so maybe it was related to that. In his honor I am working to digitize the variant. Here is a preview image:

Variant development questions (Scottish_Clan_Wars)
Hi, I've looked at Spain in the classic map, and there are three territories: Spain, Spain (NC), and Spain (SC). The first has only land-links and the latter two have only sea/boat-links. I've recreated this in my map, but I don't think it's formatting the same as Spain in the classic map. How do I make a North/South coast divide?

Maybe we should switch to phpBB..?
As the our current forum has it's limitations (no subforums, no search) I'm thinking about switching to phpBB (like on webdip).
Are there any objections, things to keep in mind?

Forming Games: Number of Players Needed
Forming games used to include a status line that said something like "X players out of Y still needed". Why did this message go away? I thought it was a useful indication of how close a game was either to starting, or to being cancelled due to not enough players signing up.

Little League vDip Game
In deliberate, though non-antagonistic, contrast to Amby's thread (and to get other people about thinking about making other threads for other bands), let's have a game for folks in the 500-1k vDip points range.

To keep things quick, let's grab the first seven folks and play a non-anon game of classic, with full press and 36-hour phases.

Variants and Copyright
I've seen some other sites have Game of Throne and Lord of the Ring Diplomacy variants. Is there a particular reason why vDip doesn't? I know in the past postal zine there were even Star Wars and Star Trek ones. Is this a copyright issue or just no one has put one together?

Classic- Caspian Variant?
Now I don't know how to code or make maps, so I likely can't do this, but I do think it would be entertaining for someone to create a map based upon this discussion (http://www.diplomacy-archive.com/resources/humour/coast_moscow.htm) where Moscow can build fleets and have them move through Sev (perhaps by means of the Volga-Don Canal?)
