To quote something "perfect is the enemy of good". Oct, you think you have a good argument, but actually you're not adding any thi g of value to the conversation. A typical left wing strategy to shut down people who dare to have other opinions. Whether you value my contribution or not is entirely i...

It wont stop me using the site but I'm not comfortable with seeing political statements on the homepage..! Unfortunately the comfort of some has resulted in the death of others, and so the comfort must be ignored. We also do not view state sanctioned violence and racism as political. Various polls ...

That was a part of what I pointed out: as every instance of analyzing situation causes changes in the situation, the information must be re-analyzed and after several iterations everything goes so deep into the game theory the moves could as well be random. Nah, if you're methodical in what is said...

Or at least...it was the best tactical move until I pointed it out, because once that's pointed out it means that because Serbia will be tied up, Austria cannot perform a 3 support attack on Bulg meaning that Turkey would be free to use Const to support hold Smyrna which is otherwise less likely to...

@gold I like that analysis but it's a little lacking around Austria and tapping. The main reason for that is Russia made a move for Vienna last turn right? So that means that Austria is forced to assume that another move is coming. Either a supported move against Budapest, which would have to come f...

I go into it a bit here https://webdiplomacy.net/contrib/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=89527#p89527 Also all SOW's ever held are available here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EA80KaB4c1pwO0SmNOJp_2JQqAld2SHcpOscFcQ_9Kg/edit#gid=0 Where multiple professors and top players on the site have covered ...

The only luck that exists in Diplomacy is when one player takes a coin and uses flipping it to decide their move.

Italy - FlyingBoat - C You were outguessed. Did you know the great players win 80-90% of their 50-50s? There's so much you can do to sway the odds in your favour. Can you ensure success this year? Also, winning 80% of 50-50 guesses is still luck, not skill. If the two options are equal in all respe...

Nope, win the game if you're able.

Dear member,

I have removed the link to the game from the post. We do not allow public cheating accusations. Those need to be communicated to webdipmod@gmail.com.

Future accusations in public will result in point dock.

Didn't read the date on HR's post jmo. Should I have not raised my concerns? Is it OK for me to call in the Forum with more Decorum all persons of a race that has a dishonest and repressive totalitarian Government evil then? Or would it be better if we were ALL careful with how we express noble sen...

Steady on HR,. "evil Chinese" Imho that's a poorly defined & sweeping condemnation of over a billion people perhaps? Go ahead and call out the totalitarian Government led by just one of many unique features​ of Chinese Communist party "democracy" President for Life Ji Xinpeng for being dishonest an...

Could always do negative points for a game that drew without a stalemate lined up.

@Valis, but if the things you mention led to a win, would it still be something to criticize? The goal of this tournament as I understand it is to solo. So if people find weird strategies to do so, why criticize? It's just not a mindset I share so curious to see the counter.

You really need help. If you're still going on about that all this time later you have some type of problem.

But it does seem to me that once a player has checked with a tournament director on a strategy and it has been approved, the player really should not be criticized for their play.

@rdrivera2005, if you disagree with the tournament director's decision to approve a strategy you are always welcome to appeal their choice to the admin team at webdipmod@gmail.com.

To back up goldie's message, there is 10000000% a pattern of top players being more likely to back out of a tournament. No idea why, but it does make keeping a tournament high GR only very difficult once the replacements begin to be needed. I have seen this uniformly across tournaments of all time d...
