What Paradox Rule is Applied after a Paradox is Detected?

The DipTool, JDip and PalmPolitik adjudicators use paradox detection
and then apply a paradox rule on the paradox.

The rules have some flaws, but they can all be fixed, without breaking
Diplomacy adjudication tradition.

Hi Lucas and everyone,

Can you expand on what type of rule is applied specifically when you
say that a paradox is detected and then they "apply a paradox rule
on the paradox" as relates to the three above adjudicator programs
as well as others not mentioned?

For instance, I was able to run JDip (because it is in Java) on my
Macintosh
computer, and the rule it applies when it sees a paradox, based upon
only
one example I fed to it (as it took forever to set up the board
situation),
was that it simply did not let any units move.

Thanks

DipTool, JDip and PalmPolitik use the Szykman rule as
described in the DATC. It works good and does not always
have the result that all units hold.

The next update of the DATC will have a slight different
wording concerning paradoxes on some points.

If you think the DATC is incorrect or incomplete, make
a posting. However, the DATC is not made with the idea
to 'make a point'. Just to 'give information' about the
rules. The preferences are to help you to make an initial
choice. At least you know this choice is based on thoroughly
research on the rules.

If you want a change in the DATC in such way that it makes
a point, then I probably will ignore your posting.

Regards,

Lucas
