Yeah.. Let's ban 1v1 please
I'm wondering whether the 1v1 games also create a false sense of actually playing Diplomacy in one's profile record, as there is no actual diplomacy involved in the game play. One could artificially inflate their "win" record. At a minimum, 1v1 games should on be incorporated into a players overall record.

It is against site rules to make reference to that person's existence, let alone his name.

Wait, Jamie was banned but he came back, why other people can't finish their punishments and come back like him?

All punishments aren't equal because not all infractions are equal. There are also some users who refuse to promise to try to follow the rules.

I think Jamie banned himself because he said he didnt want to be on a site that created a safe space for white supremecists. He wanted to be allowed to discuss at length his desires for physical violence against racists

To be fair, "a safe space for white supremacists" and "physical violence against racists" are not the only two options.

Other options include
●going to jail for violence
●complying with hands off site rules because no one on webdip is actually a racist
●rejoining site upon learning that antifa is pretty cool

Admins don't run the show.

We just lack players. I came back after a very long absence and it was really hard to start a game. It wasn't the case back then.

I believe all these new variants are killing the community. When you can play 1vs1, Diplomacy is just a tactics game. What's the fun in it?

P.S. What CAN change is mod/admin attention to their requests. I am a donator, asked a couple of weeks ago to update the color of my profile on the forum to match it, and nothing happened.
Sorry that's my fault. I think I'm currently the only person with access to that. You should be set now.

And people say complaining on the forum doesn't get anything done...

This is a secret? What do people think happens when jmo hits a user over the head with a big hammer?

You are not allowed to say that. It makes Zultar cry.
