Question about NMR and Civil Disorder
I don't really understand how the NMR and Civil Disorder mechanics work here on vdip. We're playing a casual unrated game with a group, but one of the players wants out for personal reasons.

Escalation Variant
I was wondering if anybody knows if it is possible to play the escalation variant on here? Ideally, Escalation can be played with less than seven players, or possibly more than seven players. But I am not seeing any sort of option to play Escalation, does anybody know if that is possible?

Standardized Diplo-Language?
I was wondering if anyone has ever come up with a standard language of diplomacy commands so as to maintain anonymity while playing an anon game among friends. If you're playing with friends, you can tell who is who by how they write. Thanks for any comments or ideas.

You could try and drop your text through multiple iterations of Google translate. I know I've had some hilarious games where we translated our messages through 7 or so obscure unrelated languages...

Generally, the way that we have codified the rules, when playing Google Translate games, has been as follows:
(1) Write your message in English;
(2) Translate into the language of the country you are playing;
(3) Translate that message into the language of the country you are messaging;
(4) Translate that message back into English;
(5) "Copy & Paste" that text into your PressBox and hit Send.

*Note* Luckily, I write in English with such a uniform, standard diction and syntax that i am sure that no one can ever recognize me in anonymous games....especially when Public Press is involved.
Turkey talking to Italy:

If this is a possibility, I would love to take Greece at this point. What we don't want is that an AR completely destroys us, Austria basically overthrows you and I can crush me, maybe with the help of the French fleets, and then Russia and Austria. This is ... obviously not ideal. Therefore, we must strictly limit Austria's too much growth, otherwise Russia will find them an attractive ally. I guess I should take it because you put your arm on Mar this turn. This equates us. Let me know

A possibility if this is, to take Greece at this point I would love. Austria completely destroys us what we want, do not. Austria overthrows you and I, not. Yrrs, hrrmmm. Strictly limit Austria's too much growth we must, them an attractive ally otherwise Russia will find. Yes, hrrmmm.

Because you put your army on Mars this turn, Greece I should* take. Us equal this keeps.

*Remember: Do. Or do not. There is no try.

Random Idea for variant
I guess this would be tricky to code, but how is this idea for vDip?

During a build phase and where a power has available build capacity, any unit sitting in a supply centre may be boosted by a power of 1, ie, doubled. This unit will require twice the normal ongoing supply maintenance.

VP
Kinda curious on VP... I understand that the gains are lesser as one gets higher, but how does one player (for example) get to over 2000 with under 12 total games and only 1 win? I know its not that consequential in the grand scheme of things. but as I get to a moderately respectable total, the vp gains from a win or draw seem trivial and disproportionate to lost vp when losing. How does VP calculations actually work?

Question on retreats
Hello all, I haven't found a satisfying answer on it on this page. So to clarify it ones and for all: If two units bounce into one territory, does this prevent a third unit to retreat into it in the upcoming retreat phase?

Thanks for the answer! I hope this thread helps others too.
