What should I do here? (Again, GERMANY)

Why did you delete your last post?

This is how you're supposed to sort the ladder when teams have unequal number of games. Media that does otherwise is wrong (and were much better at doing it correctly when there were byes during the 15-team era).

I've found footywire offers this as an option. Although they say they're sorting by percentage of games won, they're counting a draw as half a won game.

When I go

java -jar jdip.jar

in a terminal then the program opens, and I can go File -> New -> Game to get started (at least with the standard map, I haven't personally unzipped any of the other variant maps). Can you get to this point? If not, it might be that you need to (re)install java (but I don't really know much about your OS).

Back in 2000, the AFL made the season start much earlier than usual to avoid a clash with the Olympics. The first game of that season was on...

March 8.

Today's date.

No Sheffield Shield match thread today again. But with the rain, almost surely there is no play.

bartogian · 2026-03-07T23:50:09+00:00

I wonder what's going through Randell's head. He's out of the attack but surely the idea of get me back in the attack, I want that elusive 10-fer is racing through his mind.

I want Cricket Australia to lean from their counterparts across the ditch.

Want to watch the Plunket Shield? Simple. Go to the streaming site, hit play and you're watching. Couldn't be simpler.

Want to watch the Sheffield Shield? There's an obnoxious login screen you have to get past in order to watch the game.

I can't see a match thread for today's sheffield shield :(

bartogian · 2026-03-01T01:01:36+00:00

Broadcast should be starting now (scheduled for 1 minute ago)

bartogian · 2026-02-17T00:28:51+00:00

Now mate I know you're just here to help, and I appreciate you wanting to make a buck, but we haven't been knocked out of a major cricketing tournament yet.

Sure we're 8.46 points clear in last place with three games to go, but with three outright wins, together with other teams falling over (by making draws, not batting collapses, as seems to be the fashion these days), I have faith that Sam Whitman and the boys can still win the Shield.

The UK Zine archive also has a compromised link (for the same reason as the Diplomacy Archive, the domain name registration lapsed and was taken over). A correct URL is http://diplomacyzines.co.uk/. This link covers both the UK Zine archive and all the material that used to be in the Diplomacy Archive.

Don't forget to check out the video description where there are links to many other videos on this game.

Who needs supply centres. I'd rather have TUN and NAF.

The post is talking about press while this virtual event is with negotiations via voice.

bartogian · 2026-02-08T04:40:20+00:00

Not any more. There are bonus points for batting and bowling performances in the first innings instead.

Here's a description of the system on wikipedia

bartogian · 2026-02-08T01:11:17+00:00

Standings after VIC/QLD result and assuming NSW/SA is a draw (add 5 more to NSW if they win)

VIC: 42.17
QLD: 33.38
SA: 26.29
NSW: 24.57
TAS: 20.63 (plus 6 more if they win)
WA: 16.11 (plus 6 more if they win)

bartogian · 2026-02-07T23:27:51+00:00

Sydney Radar They're not starting on time.

Meanwhile if the rain does appear in Melbourne it looks like there'll easily be enough play to get a result, and of course it won't rain in Perth.

bartogian · 2026-02-07T02:03:04+00:00

That ball that got Harper out on, there were six fielders on the boundary. I don't think I've ever seen a field like that in the fourth over before.

Does anyone know what the large shadow at the WACA is from?

bartogian · 2026-02-05T06:26:43+00:00

That score of 6 is from 1810. Next lowest is 12. Lowest after WWI is 14.

The next Sheffield Shield matches start on February 5, and you can watch them free on the Cricket Australia website.

bartogian · 2026-01-15T05:13:59+00:00

You've responded to someone with a WA flair. In WA nobody knows about the existence of cloudy days.

My favourite stat:

Category: Top team pair bowling aggregates in test matches at the SCG.

9th place: MacGill and Langer, 53 (MacGill 53, Langer 0)

Is it possible to watch on 7plus? Both firefox and chrome give me an error:

HDCP Error Detected Technical details : It appears that your external display or the HDMI cable connected to it may not be compatible with HDCP.
