I know I shouldn't be posting comment on ongoing anonymous game, but I couldn't hold myself on publicly noting that all the top 16 powers on 'Quarantinovatio' got at least one build this year!

Losing vpoints for a match I did well in?
So I'm in a Modern Europe game, and I did pretty well - coming in 2cd place in terms of centers ( https://vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=43216 ). But my Vpoints went down, from 1253 to 1229. I'm not sure why this is, and if someone could explain why that happened I would really appreciate it.

If it matters, I CDed out and was returned the spot using the country switch tool by a very generous guy.

Private Messages
I'm curious to whether there's a feature that allows players to see if private messages are taking place, and between who (but not the actual contents of the messages). Sort of how in face-to-face Diplomacy, one can usually see people heading off into a separate room for a private discussion.

This isn't really a request, but a query.

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:

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?

I looked at the map and here is the feedback I have:
Cahuila is more commonly spelled Coahuila
Nova Scotia should be New Brunswick
Way too many territories have cardinal directions in their names.
Greenland literally cannot interact with another power in the first year

Another thing I'd note is that Greenland has little choice in their start. If they want to match the other two powers with 2 first year builds (which, in a 3 player map, giving up an early build is a dangerous gambit), then they have to take BAFF and NEW. They have no other options. Sure they could try to gain positioning by moving to North Atlantic Ocean or West Arctic/Arctic Arch, but neither of those gives a major advantage, and almost always I suspect greenland will take the 2 SCs. Perhaps an island chain from Western Greenland to Elle to Victoria would allow Greenland some flexibility to choose a direction?

The person with the most options is really Mexico. They have 4 SCs to choose from (Cuba, South East, Great Lakes, and Rocky Mountains), 3 of which no one can contest (Great Lakes, South East, Cuba), and the last one, if Alaska contests it, they willingly give up a build to do so (although so does Mexico).
Ok
KingOfSwords (1497 D)

I'd say Mexico's early advantage might not always be such a great thing for them. In a 3-player game, one player taking an early lead will often encourage the other two to work together to stop them.

I might suggest splitting a sea region off of NPO that would border Hawaii, Bering, and MPO. Also one off NAO bordering ELS and MAO. Might help reduce any naval stalemates and make Hawaii harder to defend. But take my suggestions with a grain of salt :P

I think Fake AI's idea of splitting NPO has merit. An island center touching 3 puddles seems like a good design feature. On the other hand, I'm not sure about splitting NAO. That would create another space that touches zero centers, which is something that the classic map strongly avoids. The only classic spaces that touch no centers are London and Tunis, which are centers themselves.
Fake Al (1747 D)
13 May 20 UTC
That's a good point, KOS. Looking more at the map, stalemates around NAO might not be a huge issue since there's coastal centers that border it.

But I do think it's necessary to put another region bordering Hawaii.
Okay
A lot of people have said something about how Greenland cannot interactive with anybody else in the first year. Any suggestions on what territories to add/delete/move to change this?
Bonatogether (1209 D)
22 May 20 UTC
Perhaps remove two of the Greenland centers and give them Newfoundland and Baffin Island instead. Also, I think you should merge Northwest Territories and Nunavut. However, I've never made a map so this advice is probably crap.
Maybe I should add another country?
KingOfSwords (1497 D)
22 May 20 UTC
I like the fact that you have exactly 3 powers, each at a corner of the basically triangular continent of North America.
After I added a new territory the IA orderface around the new terriotory now does not highlight adjacent terrs or show movement arrows
And it seems like some orders are not going thru
Ok now the orders work but there are still problems with IA
