A Three Gunboat Series
As some of my current games are ending, I'm looking to get a few more going. So here's what I'm thinking...
Three games. 17 points each (because 17 x 3 equaling 51 is very satisfying). 36 hr turns. HDV. DSS, of course. Anon, of course.
Reliable players, please! If points are an issue, that can be lowered.

Re: A Three Gunboat Series
How averse are you to lowering bet size?
I only moved out of political puppet a week or so ago and feel a bit attached to my new status.

Re: A Three Gunboat Series
I'm sort of back from the dead, as haven't played for 3 years. But Xmas is approaching and was just thinking about a gunboat game where I don't have to do much talk...if you are happy to have me I'm in.

Re: A Three Gunboat Series
Thanks. Could you please tell me what HDV. DSS means, completely forgot those acronyms. Also what is the scoring per game? 3 different countries? thanks

Re: A Three Gunboat Series
Sure thing! HDV - Hidden Draw Votes. And DSS - Draw-Size Scoring, so an evenly split pot between living powers (except in the case of a solo, of course).
Hopefully we'll all end up with three different countries, but we'll be at the mercy of the Diplomacy gods for country assignments.

Re: A Three Gunboat Series
Thanks and sorry for the silly question...is it no press or only public press?
The gods are never good with me so I guess I'll have to remember how to win with Italy....

Re: A Three Gunboat Series
Oh, you're good! Gunboats are actually no press at all, so the only way to communicate is through orders. If that's a game changer for you and you're not interested in a game without any press, I totally get that! But we'd love to have you!
Re: A Three Gunboat Series
If you want, you can ask the mods to reassign powers after everyone joins the games. One of them did it for us for the top 100 gunboat series.

Re: A Three Gunboat Series
I love it - no press is the 'real' gunboat. I was asking because on some sites they play gunboat with public press...AleaIactaEst wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 4:27 pmOh, you're good!

No need to disturb the mods - I'll try and make up for my ITA-AUS-ITA draw!

Re: A Three Gunboat Series
Oh interesting! I'll add that to my index of Diplomacy knowledge!
Once everyone has joined and we have our country assignments, we can disturb the mods if someone has duplicates and wants a change.
I'll send out messages with game links in a few hours!

I have no experience with code, so while the quoted post seems quite clear, I'm not quite sure how that all should be set up for the mods. But we'll cross that bridge if/when we get there!pyxxy wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 4:31 pmIf you want, you can ask the mods to reassign powers after everyone joins the games.

Re: A Three Gunboat Series
I think the mods can only switch countries around before the games actually begin, not when the game has already started and countries assigned. Not 100% on this, but pretty certain that this is the case.AleaIactaEst wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 4:57 pmOh interesting! I'll add that to my index of Diplomacy knowledge!
