Looks like you don’t lose as much rating from losing to a top player with the ELO system as compared to the old system.

That depends a lot on how many games each have played

I think so but I wouldn’t have thought you could see a change that I made?

The results tab is unlocked, so anyone can improve (like you) or screw it up. I keep a locked copy to the side.

Can anyone please tell me how to read .tsvg files?
Opening them with a text editor doesn’t work – I just get unreadable symbols.
I’d like to extract some information from a save game file of a previous round, but I have no clue how to access the content.
Any hint or direction would be very much appreciated. 🙂

My suggestion is open in Triple-A and use the export to xml feature.

@simon33 that’s great - thank you very much!👍 I was not aware of that feature.

Community game / Hot seat idea moved to its own pinned thread

League hotseat game for fun

I hope you’ll at least take a glance at the new idea -
As usual I wrote a lot of words, but it is actually very simple

It’s about playing a turn in a community game, to experience the fun of inheriting a scenario, a bit similar to a chess situation in the newspaper.

We don’t need many participants, and you don’t have to get in on the beginning or sign up. Anyone can just poke their head in at any time, ask for a certain power’s turn, and play a turn

Hi gamer

Just a heads up that the latest triplea prerelease will center on yor capital now at turn start when tech is turned off. It will work with current saves too or 2.7 ones anyway. I didn’t try any of the 2.6’s

https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.14962

Makes Neutral Flyover more rule compliant as well, although Idk what all was done with it.

It’s new, so probably wanna hang on to your old one just in case :) Here’s some info for how to have multiple triplea’s installed

Signups for round 1 are filling up -
It’s an interesting starting board I set up (pieces added, and even a few pieces removed) -

I don’t think we’ll be needy for participants, just wanted to update you that the
J1, US1, I1 and ANZ1 seats are still open

[gamerman01]

US1 is available any time!

[gamerman01]

US1 is done, next available is I1, ANZ1, G2, R2

[gamerman01]

This is the first league community shared hot-seat game, where anyone can pop in and play a turn after requesting a turn.

There will be no coordination of moves among allies.

There is a combination of added and subtracted pieces at game start totaling 95 IPC’s because no coordination is a big handicap for the allies. Also, it does not matter much whether the starting set up is perfectly fair.

The main point of this (very different) community game is for everyone to have fun. The main idea is to give players the fun of jumping into a game they have not been playing, and make a move with the scenario given.

Hot seat game is in full swing, and it is Italy’s turn.
Anyone who has not yet played in the game is welcome to move Italy.

Big brother took Normandy and France and has 4 bombers! The UK sunk 96 and made a power move to 92, with airbase.
Your East African are intact, but the UK has 2 transports in the Persian Gulf.

WHAT DO YOU DO?

Find the hot seat game, or go to the pinned hot seat thread (on top) or message me if you want to sign up for a move.

[ManuC23]

@gamerman01 ready

[ManuC23]

@ManuC23 If I should be registered at the dice server ?.given address, please send me that address.

[gamerman01]

@ManuC23 I admit I hadn’t said this before, but the hot-seat game is intended for league players

and I don’t see that you’ve ever completed a league game yet.

I appreciate your interest, but I think I need to ask you to try out the league with a game or two first.

If you do decide to play a league game, just say so here, or in the find league opponents (pinned thread) and let us know if you need help

If interested, you should peruse the League rules (pinned thread)

[dawgoneit]

@gamerman01 I think he’s looking how to link to the dice server. Myself I don’t no

[barnee]

Here’s the link to Marti https://dice.marti.triplea-game.org/

If you hit “Play By Forum” once you start up triplea it will have a “Register” button that will take you there also.

G1 - FlyingBadger
R1 - Ghostglider
J1 - Booper
US1 - gamerman01
C1 - simon.tressel
UK1 - AldoRaine
I1 - Pacifiers Board
ANZ1 - crockett36
F1 - GovZ

The first round of hotseat just finished!
We have no one signed up for G2 or anything else in round 2!
League players who haven’t participated yet are preferred, but I won’t wait too long and open it up to round 1 participants, -

This game should keep moving, or the hot seat turns cold! Go see the pinned thread, OR find the game thread and hop in.

Advisable to announce you will play before starting, so that you aren’t doing it at the exact same time as someone else.

Germany has a couple extra bombers for G2!

PtV-question:
Can US take over dutch territories (via NCM) or is it only possible for UK/ANZ?

[gamerman01]

It’s a special relationship between UK/ANZAC and Dutch

USA can’t take control of Dutch

[gamerman01]

Page 38, 39 of Europe manual,
No such statement under USA

PtV did not change this rule from OOB, that I know of @Adam514
