Re: Twenty Qs #106 : Take Two

"My sword is famous all over the Caribbean!" "...too bad nobody's heard of YOU at all." Guybrush Threepwood is correct! Well done, Foxcastle, I raise my half-melted mug of grog to you! Heh, guess I was doomed since I've never heard of them. Good guess Foxcastle! Guybrush Threepwood (https://en.wiki...

Re: Buy Undetectable Counterfeit Oil Paintings

AI is gonna revolutionize both spammer capabilities, AND the fine-oil-painting reproduction market. Imagine having this beauty adorning on your wall:

Positive prompt: an oil painting of the game diplomacy in 1901. 8k. muted colors.
Negative prompt: Modern Art. Modern.

FullPressGPT

This is a discussion and wondering, not a request or nag, hoping to hear from people who know about such things. ... first priority re: bots is to get a full-press bot working, and to add difficulty levels to classic. How would a full press bot work... what internal flow of inputs would allow that t...

Re: Thanks, everyone, for ruining webDiplomacy

We've all been there. But I do have a solution. Here's the flow: user uploads image > image gets re-sized so it'll convert correctly > image is translated into ascii art > that ascii art is then printed on a postcard and mailed to darg, so he can pick it up when he rides a bison the 50 miles to town...

Re: Forum moderation/activity discussion

Hey all. I have some good memories here. I signed up for webdip a looong time ago. obiwan-since-oh-before-you-were-born.gif. I (and my brothers) have brought a variety of people to the site to sign up and play games. I like that the people who gather here tend to be a bit more cerebral, strategic, e...

Re: wD Mafia Master Post

@worcej - thanks @darg - Agree. Though the broader issue you bring up has to do with character and elements of self-moderation. That's difficult for everyone - myself included. People don't take getting attacked sitting down... "turning the other cheek" isn't in vogue ever, especially not at present...

Re: wD Mafia Master Post

I'm not in the current game, and not reading the game, for reasons that (on seeing this thread) now seem fairly justifiable. I like mafia, and have good feelings for most of the community that plays it here. Here's some grist, ideas to get started with a rule to defend it: "In the course of investig...

Once there were only 25 letters in the English alphabet. No one knew "y." Then the y began to pla y Diplomac y and saw Y orkshire, and were forced to add that letter which is so rare in English?

Re: M62: PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF REVOLUTIONARY MAFIA GAME THREAD!

copypasta textwall for EoN1: D1 was awful. I get the sense that a few players avoided it on purpose. That's attributable to toxicity and scheissposting, but it's more likely due to holyday parties and hangovers. Even after the joke phase, much of the day felt dominated by minutiae and discussions of...

It might be too early in the game to be effective, but here's a reminder: everyone should do EoN reads lists, especially if you think you're a potential n1 target.

Re: M62: PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF REVOLUTIONARY MAFIA GAME THREAD!

In M61, Durga subbed out D1 and was scum, and in M59, Chaqa subbed out D1 and was scum, so recent history suggests scum are more likely to leave the game D1. It is also not an "out-of-game" reason, since bo_sox was in the game. That makes a lot of sense. Better than the rest of the subjective d1 cr...

@balki et al - She said right away on page 4 that she hadn't read the setup. it's NAI. If she's scum, she's scum for other reasons than this.

I get that. I don't know what you were hoping to get from him by questioning him about it directly. Is he going to crack under all this pressure and say "oh you got me, I slipped?"

Why are you concerned about this vote specifically? He did post explaining it.
I missed his post. I still don't like his vote, but I did find his explanation.
