Re: 2019 ODC Finals (retrospective)

Not your fault, Swordsman, but I notice (and I note here for posterity) that the Round 1 records do not currently reflect my one solo, which put me at 100 points and in qualification for the Semifinals. As it stands it looks like I snuck into the Finals without qualifying for the Semifinals. Great w...

Re: ODC 2019 Tournament Start

Now all I have a to do is ensure I play well enough to not become a cautionary tale of “what not to do” on future articles on BrotherBored.

Re: ODC 2019 Tournament Start

I say we call it a 7-way draw on turn 1 and co-reign as champions like Narnia’s Pevensie children.

But, if we can’t come to an agreement to role play as C.S. Lewis’s kings and queens, I look forward to clashing with you titans. Ready when you are.

I'm going to put "Top 10 Live Webdip Player" on my resume. I'll just refrain from mentioning that our active live game community consists of fewer than 10 people.

Re: Quick Question.....?

I think it was about 6 months ago that a thread got deleted for making indirect reference to he who must not be named. So I think the threat level (which, as I understand it, extended beyond DDOS attack to potential legal action) hasn’t changed.

Re: Luck Plays No Part in Diplomacy

Okay. I was using “game” to mean “a competitive game like Diplomacy in which the participants’ choices interact with or depend on each other.” I realized after submitting my post that I was leaving myself open to criticism on the grounds that there are at least some games to which game theory probab...
