@Chaqa, you know, those little immaterial things you spend time on when you're neither playing Dip nor eating Chipotle

I am under the impression that most (online?) Dip players are geeks/nerds or somehow people from technical fields, especially Information Technology, perhaps with some humanistic background. I for one am a philosopher-by-education turned into an IT guy - former system engineer, former developer, for...

So you mean asatsspa?

I like the acronym... I will definitely use it at work when answering to some customer requests, and see what happens

Ok, Team Prosecco Gunboat Player will ready up orders asap from now on, although i believe that was already the case.
Well, asap... i mean as soon as the server starts processing again

I don't know whether this has ever been discussed. But what do you do in case of an NMR, or a CD? Do you feel free to continue your negotiations, and change your orders if needed? I don't see any special difference between a delay caused by an NMR and one caused by the system. On the other hand IIRC...

At 63 I'm even older than Dargo, but still born in the second half of the past century.
I played some face-to-face games in my thirties, then just had a look at some PBMs/PBEMs, and eventually discovered this site a couple of years ago

@Captains
will we all ask our gunboat teammates to try and speed the games up?

It should also be noted that the gunboat games are lasting longer in terms of game years too. The first two have respectively reached 1911 and 1914, and are still going on, while all the press games ended in 1909/10/11 - apart from the famous (or infamous?) Group A Public Press which ended in 1905. ...

Hi, I was on this site about a decade ago and played some great games. Back then, most of the best games were classic map, anonymous, draw-size scoring, and full-messaging. People would expect to do a fair bit of negotiating during the game, sometimes with multiple back-and-forths in a single turn....

I know you work at a bank goldie lol. Eventually you have to cede that your overlords are losing ground in the war.

So one day we'll find Cryptofinger0303 replaced Goldie?

Sounds fun! I'm in

Just to be clear, there is no thing like a double-win, so, yes, your friend is incorrect. There are only three possible results: victory, which means solo win, draw, be it 2, 3, ..., 7-way, and loss, which may mean that you've been eliminated or that you survived to a solo. Solo win is the target - ...

Can't they just filter the games for variant = Classic?

Team Prosecco (Italy) welcomes its fifth member:
Randaz20 is joining as sub and 1v1 player

Meanwhile Team Italia is changing its name in favour of something more sparkling: from now on please refer to us as Team Prosecco

Cheers!

A reminder to everyone to PM your teams once you have them complete. If we end up stuck between tournament sizes (14 vs 21 vs 28) I'll be taking teams on a first-come first-serve basis.

PM? I thought we were supposed to announce the teams here

Once there were only 25 letters in the English alphabet. No one knew "y."

Then they began to play Diplomacy and saw Yorkshire, and were forced to add that letter which is so rare in English?
