Gentlemen, I voted in the poll for counting the replacement games as part of the scores for the Qualifying Round but must publicly reverse my vote (although I...
Hi Jon, You can use my name anytime. It's actually nice to be on top of one of the standings. I agree with you that, of the 4 choices Thorin offered, ...
Mike, Your point is taken. I'm not particular between any 2 games or original games only (with exceptions as you mentioned). But I'm definetly against the 2...
If I am on top of a standing, you can use my name anytime...if it is a discussion of abandonments and blacklists, please leave my name off. Top 2 is fair, as...
Couple of things: 1. The two polls close on 3rd June. Following that I will formalise the Final Round parameters. Get your votes in.... 2. Regards Option 5. I...

Thanks for the survey contributions and feedback. Following are the updated parameters for the DP Tourney. 1. The first 28 games constitute the Qualifying...
All: Does anyone know if there's a way to create a game on USDP by drawing players from the Internet Judge Game Queues on the Diplomatic Pouch website? I once...
I think Manus has a separate queue system for DPJudge itself (at least that was my understanding). As queue maintainer, I'd be happy to create a separate queue...
The final 3 games will be declared Time Draws (if still in progress) on Sunday 10th June. Qualifying Round scores will be distributed shortly afterward and ...
DPT Players, The DPT 2007 Qualifying Round is now completed. Congratulations and thanks to every player who particpated. Given a smooth Final Round, I will...
I don't like abandonments either but, especially with quick deadlines, things happen sometimes. So I'm not so sure about a zero- tolerance policy. Here's an...
I'll toss in my 2 cents. I took over an abandoned position for godofwar2 game and the game has been stuck since April 17th due to a late, very late Italy....
I usually don't write in this forum. I have left the judge, at least I won't play anymore. The past tournament really soured me. I had internet connection...
The tournament will start September 2007, first game to finish by May 2008, second game from September 2008 to May 2009. This is a regular (with negotiations)...
There's a trend that I've noticed on the DPJudge for some time which has been somewhat disturbing. It's the assumption that the only possible way for the game...
The problem has been around for a long time, and it goes hand-in-hand with draw-size-based scoring. If you evaluate results by relative position (i.e.,...
... I don't think that reducing the number of people in a draw is the problem he's talking about. It's that many people seem to be content with a three- or...
... Not at all. Unfortunately, most point systems do give weight to outcomes other than a solo: even though a draw isn't a win, it will generally get far more...
Well, from "a purist point of view", the goal of any game is to have fun... if a game isn't enjoyable, ultimately no one will play it, let alone care about...
Don't forget also that there are variations around - well-designed variations that are a great deal of fun to play - where the designer has gone to great pains...
... From: "kindly_despot" <kindly_despot@...> ... Mechanisms that reward reducing the draw size by their nature discourage solos. How many games have...
... There's a relationship, certainly. But again, the problem as I understand it (as stated in DJ's original post) is that people view a draw as an inevitable...
I would say, based on my limited experience, that the "life gets in the way" argument is the most likely. For example, I was in a game where it was down to...
I think something that's being ignored is that solos are very hard to get, especially in games with quality players. I'm not a person who believes a draw is...
... Yes, fine; the (meta-)goal is to have fun. But in Diplomacy, that fun is predicated on the idea that you are seven people all competing to be the sole...
