<p>Indeed, there was a problem with the resolution engine to manage this kind of situation in Conspiracy.</p>

<p>I've worked on it and it's now fixed. From now on the server has been updated and all the next resolutions will be managed correctly. In application side, the analyse engine will keep displaying this error as long as players are using the version 2.9.0 and lower.

Conspiracy is an app made by fans of Diplomacy for fans of Diplomacy to play Diplomacy (as they state) so I'm pretty sure it's a bug. I will try to report it. Thank you

Apparently I can observe the game in the app, what is the name of the game?  Or a username?

It was not from a game but just a simulation. First, observe a random game with the classical (7 players) map. Next, hit the three-dotted button top right and Analysis. Then, top left choose Spring 1901 and then run the simulation as I wrote here. You can press the button on bottom right to pass to the next turn (in Analysis mode)

Are these all of your actions only?  What are the other players actions?

It's based on the classical setup. If you simulate it you can deduce which team makes every move. However I'm editing the post adding the teams

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-03-20)
