A bunch of people from here have accounts there and play under different names. (I'm clearly more honest or less creative because I use the same name at both).

I think Machiara's name on this site is Bo_Sox

 I just checked the Playdip leaderboards. It looks like some guy named "Conq" is ranked first for both Standard Diplomacy and for the catch-all "All Games" category. And this same Conq is in the ODC finals. There is also a thread from Village Idiot saying he is the undisputed champ of online Diplomacy, so I think we can assume that Village Idiot's PlayDip account is "Conq."

Migrated over here because I’m trying to shed the horrific dochebag reputation I racked up over there under the name Conq but seems there’s no getting away from it.
As long as you don't talk like a "Jorge" with marbles in your mouth, I'm sure they'll love you on the final board, and even throw the solo to you. ;) Go Conq! ... and... er.... go nanooktheeskimo!

Thanks Balki! I may bet my entire Ethereum wallet on VI/Conq.
Thanks, I’ll try not to let you down.

I think they're pulling your leg, chluke. It is well known that VI's Playdip persona is the highly regarded nanooktheeskimo. The clue is in the Canadian link, with both Eskimos and idiots being found in Canada :)

Cool. Good luck VI/Conq!!! Can someone post a link to the final ODC game board for us to follow? (I haven't figured out how to find it on their site.)

 I do. Why do you ask?
I didn't see you're name in the ODC results board, or in the top 25 on the PlayDip site leader-board. I thought I remember reading that you play there and I was hoping for a webDipper to root for in the ODC, or at least hoping to see that you've beaten some of the players making the final ODC board. Basically just looking for some kind of a "hometown" hero.

Do you go by another user name there?

 The idea was for it to rotate around.
@VillageIdiot, don't you play, and rank highly, at PlayDip?

Bids go to ghug.

ghug has considered revoking this one retroactively because they didn't really call it ODC and then the TD disappeared and the new one was mean to meme, but ghug likes to pretend he isn't petty.

 I've been told Conq has an account here, we could root for him.

Good thing you've got a full year to figure that out.

I also bowed out for personal reasons. And since it's the only reason I made a PlayDip account I don't know when the next time I play over there will be.

Hell, I'd put in a bid to run it on vDip if I knew where the bid was supposed to be sent.

Time for vDip!

The next tournament will be here or some other site to Playdip, surely?

Yeah, sadly I had to bow out due to various reasons. Not that I was doing particularly well before hand, to be honest. A combination of a lot being on my mind, and not being able to get the hang of their in-game messaging system. Being able to copy people in is good in theory, but in practice keeping track of who said what to whom and when was a pain in the arse.

Huzzah to Buachaille! Nice to see him kicking backside again :)

Yeah, meme, I was kind of surprised by the way they handled it. You'd expect some amount of understanding that ppl might be confused by the pause system.

Re: 2017 Online Diplomacy Championship results

by captainmeme » Mon Jan 29, 2018 6:16 pm

Yonni should've soloed one but I chickened out of throwing it. Looking back, I'm annoyed at myself for not following through on that - neither of the other surviving players deserved a result from it, imo.

I'd have stuck the tournament out, but I got booted out after a pause misunderstanding by a PlayDip Mod who refused to listen to my PMs and then shut down all public discussion of the incident. Not the sort of thing that makes you want to return to a site, so I won't be participating in PDET 2018.
