I'm running a phpdiplomacy server for some friends of mine and so far it's working great -- thanks a ton for this project. I've got two questions though:
Is there an option for anonymous/black press? One of the nice things about njudge (or possibly some other pbem server from the distant past) is that you could post messages anonymously. Added a good strategic element to the game, disinformation and all that. Anyway to do it in phpdiplomacy?
Also, somewhere in the forum here it was mentioned that there's an option to view history of a game. Is that turned on by default? We're not too far into our own game yet (just Spring 1902) so maybe it doesn't apply, but if there's a way to activate it I think I'd like to try.
Thanks a bunch!

My friends and I play email diplomacy and are probably going to start using phpDiplomacy, but all we do is create a gmail account for the game and tell all the players the screen name and password that way you can email a player anonymously. Also you could create a blog on your site.

This has been re-implemented by the way. It's not yet in CVS but I'll add it in there soon.

History isn't currently implemented, but hopefully it will be soon.
Having anonymous messages is an interesting idea that hadn't crossed my mind. I'll implement it eventually.
