This game is weak
This website is weak and doesn't accumulate enough players to play a live game. Even VDip is better.
Re: This game is weak
He's not entirely wrong though. It's not trivial to get a live game going at certain times.
I've had a couple fire at 3PM EST (8PM GMT), as well as 7PM EST, in the past few weeks. I haven't joined any recently though.
I've also offered to coordinate a live-game club, but response has been lukewarm.

Re: This game is weak
The site is weak.’ Fucking site is weak? You’re weak. I’ve been in this business fifteen years. … Fuck you, that’s my name. You know why, Mister? ‘Cause you drove a Hyundai to get here tonight, I drove an eighty thousand dollar BMW. That’s my name. And your name is you’re wanting. And you can’t play in a man’s game. You can’t finalise your orders. And you go home and tell your wife your troubles.
A-I-D-A. Attention, interest, decision, action. Attention; do I have your attention? Interest; are you interested in a live game? I know you are because it’s fuck or walk. You join or you hit the bricks. Decision; have you made your decision for Christ? And action. A-I-D-A; get out there. You got the prospects loggin’ in; you think they came online to get out of the rain? Guy doesn’t click on the site unless he wants to play. Sitting out there waiting to give you their points! Are you gonna take 'em? Are you man enough to take 'em? What’s the problem pal?
You see this watch? You see this watch? … That watch cost more than your car. I made 970,000 points last year. How much you make? You see, pal, that’s who I am. And you’re nothing. Nice guy? I don’t give a shit. Good father? Fuck you, go home and play with your kids. You wanna work here? Game. You think this is abuse? You think this is abuse, you cocksucker? You can’t take this, how can you take the abuse you get in a live game with Ghug? You don’t like it, leave. I can go out there tonight with the materials you got, make myself fifteen thousand points. Tonight. In two hours. Can you? Can you?
Why am I here? I came here because Kestas and Zultar asked me to, they asked me for a favour. I said, the real favour, follow my advice and ban your fucking ass because a loser is a loser.

Re: This game is weak
Stackelberg is correct. I have slightly amended Alec Baldwin's monologue from that film. It is one of the best films ever made and you should watch it. Baldwin was nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor and he's only in the film for 7 minutes. Great stuff.
Re: This game is weak
You can also post about your intentions to make a live game in the new games forum and show people you're a cool interesting player to have some fun with, and/or coordinate around other people's schedules instead of just spamming live games with crossed fingers.

Re: This game is weak
If this is his sales job to get a live game going, imagine how charming and effective the in-game press would be!

Re: This game is weak
If you're talking 2AM-late-night, I'm in. I can do a bit earlier if you plan it in advance.
Re: This game is weak

Re: This game is weak
For the record I don't consider live game availability to be the benchmark for a Diplomacy site. The best thing about online diplomacy is that you can play a game without carving out an hour+ of your day, and I have never had trouble joining a game with longer phase lengths.
(Except maybe the one about only messaging in iambic pentameter, but that's a weird one)
