All: I have an opening for Germany in the game 'chronicle' on the DPJudge. At the end of the game, I plan to make all press available to all players, hence the...

Hi everybody. I'm a new PBEM player who noticed a small technical issue when I tried to sign up for the game London on USDP. Although the problem was solved...
Noob question. . . When you play a game on DPJudge what user name do you use? The one that you create for your DPJudge account or the one that you submit on ...
Do you mean your nom du juere? You can play in character in each game as anyone you wish -- Tsar Nicholas, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Joe the Plumber, whoever....
I think that this answers it. So I am indeed registered on the DPJudge under my real name with my real e-mail, but I can use a handle/nickname for the games...
I don't know what you mean about submitting a name to join a given game. When you join a game of, say, standard Diplomacy, you will play England, or Austria,...
The DPJudge account only needs your registered email to recognize you. When you find a game and join, it will assign you a power. Once you receive a message...
Thank you! You nailed it. That's exactly what I wanted to know. Nothing weird going on here, just, all things considered, I'd rather go by my gaming name...
On the topic of anonimity, all public games (as opposed to private games, where everyone is supposed to know each other) on the dpjudge are gunboat, that is...
Anonymity only lasts until the end of the game, quite true. To me it is extremely important to show the players names at the end, as it tends to act as a...
Thank you for the advice. I'll remember it. Just figuring out the unwritten expectations/assumptions for any new game is a huge part of the learning curve. ...
Adding to the intrigue, I usually keep a list of names that other people have used, as well as catch-phrases for that exact reason. I can usually pass myself...
Well the 2008 Owls Open tournament has finished, with Jonty Klassnik taking the title for a second year running! I'm sure everyone can appreciate that winning...
I haven't created a game in a couple of years but I am just about to do that again. I used one of my old create games e-mails and sent one game creation...
You're doing nothing wrong. Your mail client, however, is sending what you type to the judge after mangling it, and sticking things on the same line-of-text...
I was aware of the "rich text feature", but I definitely have my mail client set to plain text (if it actually sends it as plain text is beyond me). In the...
I tested it now again with a pure LIST command to the judge and again it failed, regardless of my setting of unformatted text or RTF. Then I switched from the...
I use Yahoo as well (and use the new interface). It worked fine for me and from work. I use an HTML message on both and didn't have any problems. -- Sam W:...
Just on the off-chance it might work better - have you tried the web interface to create a game? -- Sam W: 425.228.3440 x.3363 P: 206.469.1305 F: 425.656.5558 ...
Well, your mail client is definitely the issue, as I said. The response from the judge indicating that what it got from you contained this: myMasterPwd=0Adesc...
Its could be an encoding issue. The Swedish character set is quite different, even when it comes to plain text. Setting it to Unicode may do the trick. Cheers,...
So hey, I was thinking, and that's never good, because it usually leads to coding. My thought process got around meanderingly to the existing TOUCH_PRESS...
I strangely like it. Notes below. ... One alternative I would propose: Player may not communicate with each other if, in the last move turn, they had units...
Nothing is as silly as the shift rule. I see where the central powers like Austria and Germany are going to get hammered. So, good name for the rule. Mark...
Actually, the name of the rule came from the fact that I viewed it as an opposite of the "TOUCH_PRESS" rule, and the best opposite of "TOUCH" I could think of...
Wow. I like the idea of modifying it so that it is dependent on what has just happened in the previous turn, not the current game position. Unfortunately,...
