I'm currently GMing a game of Diplomacy at a small social forum I
visit. Every player is completely new to Diplomacy (making me the
"expert," with no online and only three FtF games under my belt). As
such, I wanted to keep players away from the computerized judges. so
instead I had planned to use DPMapit! to generate maps for my hand-
adjudicated decisions.
The only problem is that I can't get the darned thing to work. :P
Every time I attempt to generate a map, the link to the map ends up
broken. I assume this is due to my clumsy syntax errors (indeed, a
map does appear when I leave the box empty, though I suspect this is a
special case.) I've attempted to read through the DPJudge
documentation, but I can't seem to puzzle out what, exactly, is
necessary for instructions for DPMapit! and what isn't.
If anyone could point me to an example of legitimate instructions that
would lead to getting a map out of DPMapit, then I'd be eternally
grateful.
(Or would it be a better idea to register a real game on DPJudge, sign
up seven fake players and feed the orders I receive through them?)
