forget what I just wrote.

I got the latest email from you Sand.

When I visit http://www.diplom.org/dpjudge?game=aceshigh1 I only have the choice of loging in as Power1, Power2 or Master (via the dropdown menu). Using the privacyword you gave us with any of those logins doesn't work.

Nash, what's your E-Mail addy and I'l forward Sandman's instructions to you.

Sandman · « **Reply #77 on:** June 03, 2003, 10:08:13 PM »

Nash, get my email?

banana asked that we move to a different judge so I've set up another game using the DPJudge. It's more simplified than using the Ken Lowe judges.

To register go here:
http://www.floc.net/dpjudge/dppd/

Then, go to here for directions on joining the game:
http://www.floc.net/dpjudge/?game=aceshigh1

I've sent you the privacy word via email.

Whew....did it. I'm Power 3.

Gawd this stuff is confusing. It is JUST within' my reach... my ability to figure it out. It's right on the edge. Somehow I managed to fake it once again... but if there were just, like, one more step to any of this and I'd prolly have to bow out.

So... Do we send in our country prefs the same way as we did last time?

No...I dont think so. Sandman said they were random.

I feel your pain. Had a pretty good understanding of the Ken Lowe judge. This DPJudge is another animal entirely.

banana has more experience with this judge than I. Correct me please if I'm wrong, but as near as I can tell, you can't set a preference list for countries on this judge. The only other option is "power_choice" and then it's a first come, first served kinda thang.

Meaning.... if I'm power 3 then I get the 3rd pick? Hmm... Not too fair for the guys who are getting in later... Screw 'em

Do we pick em after everyone's registered or now?

Sandman · « **Reply #82 on:** June 03, 2003, 11:01:24 PM »

Right now, it's set for random. Once everyone joins, the countries will be assigned.

Nash · « **Reply #83 on:** June 03, 2003, 11:05:14 PM »

Gotcha... So it's sit tight time.

whadda relief.

We even get a nice pop-up map that shows the location of everyone's units. -banana

Is that what I think it means?

Hortlund · « **Reply #85 on:** June 04, 2003, 03:19:35 AM »

OK, I'm in as power 4.

TREMBLE YOU BASTARDS FOR I AM THE 4TH POWER!!!!!

Dowding · « **Reply #86 on:** June 04, 2003, 03:24:24 AM »

In!

I'm the fifth columist.

sling322 · « **Reply #87 on:** June 04, 2003, 03:40:54 AM »

Big deal....I am the 1st Power!!!

Nash · « **Reply #88 on:** June 04, 2003, 04:09:24 AM »

... and I'm screwed.

How much Diplomacy experience do you guys have?

I have 1/2 a game (the Judge computer died on us, then came back online several days later... I missed the announcement and subsequently missed the deadline for submitting the next turn. Got the boot.)

This was a few years ago. I vaguely recall submitting the orders and bracing for the bitter fallout.... accompanied by the exhasperated screeches from closet Napoleons who "thought we had a deal!"... but not much else. I had Sandman as an alliance so that helped immensly. There's no such hand-holding this time around... Btw, you went on to win that one didn't you Sand?

This is going to be a heckuhvalotta *fun* guys!

hehe last time I played Diplomacy it was in a face-to-face game with a couple of "friends" in high school. I was Germany and France backstabbed me horribly...it wasnt pretty.

I was ready to ax murder everyone in the room.

I walked out furious, vowing never to play Diplomacy ever again. I never spoke to the person who backstabbed me again (he was just a friend of a friend anyway, and he was an ugly fat ****)

Soo...good thing this is via the internet.
