I ask because I suspect that I am the oldest in most of my games (I am 56). Tabletop Diplomacy was big in my university years (the 80s and 90s). Has the game been passed down to younger players, or is it still a Generation X type of game?
How old are you?

Re: Announcing the 2021 WebDip World Cup!
Perhaps. But they still shouldn't take ACTUAL years!I would expect gunboat games to go much longer than press games in terms of in game years.

Re: Announcing the 2021 WebDip World Cup!
Suggestion for the final round: make the Gunboat games 18 or 24 hour phase. The momentum of this awesome tournament is kind of bogging down at the moment due to how much longer the GB games are taking than the FP and PP games which have been finished for some time. There is no need for GB games to h...

Re: The DBNI
Interesting to see how tournament scoring rules play such a dynamic on the game (how you got the solo because only one other player cared about the result, and his only options were table top himself, or bust). I'm playing in my first Diplomacy tournament as we speak (World Cup) and have noticed how...

I appreciate the notice that the tournament will pause Dec 23. I assume though that NMR's before then will be charged as usual?

Re: Fleets Supporting Fleets
Just a slight gloss on Prince William: fleets can support units in a bordering body of water or a province ON THE SAME COASTLINE.
A fleet in Rome, for example, cannot support a fleet in Venice, even though Venice does border and is on a coastline.

For those teams who have been accepted, make sure your members also register via the on-site tool on the tournaments page. Forgive me, but I don't see this "on-site tool on the tournaments page."

Re: Best Piece of Diplomacy Advice
1. Good players don't lie as much as this game has a reputation for. You must earn a reputation as someone who tells the truth 90% of the time, so you will be believed the other 10%. 2. Offer help at least as often as you ask for it. 3. Guess other's next moves by what their interests are, not what ...

You’re sure there was an empty non-standoffed province for the unit to retreat to?

Re: How Do We Feel About Not Even Trying to Win?
Couldn't have said it better myself. You're not "respecting" anyone by "letting" them have a Draw when you could Solo. You're "patronizing" them.So to the collective opinion in here is a bad thing to reach the end and forfeit the solo respecting the co-player who helped you to this point.

Re: Ghost Rating Challenge
Game 3 is missing Laszlo_L, and bo_sox (who said he was willing to pass, but leaves us short unless someone wants to join).
