variation supply centers are shared?
I read if 6 or 5 players are available a country (or more) should be eliminated, but is there a variation where instead eliminating countries supply centers are shared first by weaker or difficult countries?

For example, if only 6 players are available maybe turkey and Italy can share the supply centers of Austria. Something like that.

How to play with Austria
So on the classic map I've gotten Austria a couple of times. Austria is by far the hardest country to play or win with. How exactly would someone do well with Austria?

Bigger/better chatbox via custom CSS, v0.1 alpha
Fellow WebDippers,

If you use Stylish (or userstyles in general) you can install this style that I just created to make the chatbox bigger and easier to read. It's alpha (read: feature incomplete) but if you install the Stylish browser extension you can get started with it.

Proactive and Reactive Countries
I've recently had something close to a breakthrough about how to approach play with different countries in Diplomacy. The short of it: The same play style *doesn't* work for every country, because some countries are designed for more proactive play, and others are designed for more reactive play.

If it looks like your ally will NMR
What is the general consensus on how to approach an ally NMRing, or at least there being less than five minutes to go, and no moves reported yet? Should you stab or alter moves from the original plan assuming he or she is gone and you should take what you can before other nations? Or do you feel it is more appropriate to stick with the original plan? Follow up question: does your position change if it is an anon game?

For you Nigee, the word "football" refers to sports played ON FOOT, versus old "horseball" games like polo. It does NOT refer to sports where you kick with your foot.

"For you Nigee, the word "football" refers to sports played ON FOOT, versus old "horseball" games like polo. "

That sounds like such bullshit. There's like six "horseball" games (all the horse stuff you see in the Olympics, plus polo, plus I don't know, foxhunting maybe?). A quick Wikipedia search tells me that horseball is actually a game.

"Football" is a game where you use your FOOT to score. Not run around carrying a ball with your hand or throwing a ball.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_(word)#Etymology

Although the accepted etymology of the word football, or "foot ball", originated in reference to the action of a foot kicking a ball, this may be a false etymology. An alternative explanation has it that the word originally referred to a variety of games in medieval Europe, which were played on foot.[6] These sports were usually played by peasants, as opposed to the horse-riding sports more often enjoyed by aristocrats. In some cases, the word has been applied to games which involved carrying a ball and specifically banned kicking.

I'd consider it if there was no actual cash involved and we played through an official site like ESPN or something else. I'd be up for a live draft sometime on nights or weekends.
i'ld be in, a small bit of cash is always nice (to win), but without it is fine too

Espn or yahoo are good sites with live draft lobbies. Could we bet webdip points if we're not doing a cash buy-in?
yahoo is good i have found, and prefer cash to my precious web dip points
I'll play again in krellin's league. One webdip league is enough for me.
Tru Ninja (1016 D(S))

I have no problem fronting webdip points, I just don't like to dabble in cash.

I will say that the new school year starts late July to early August , so my presence around here will dwindle again but I will be in the forums enough to play FF.

Top 50 GR Game
I've just had a 2 month absence from playing on the site (which for me was a long time - even if I know people leave for much longer), and I would love to return to playing some high quality games.

This might be a bit ambitious, but I am hoping for a top 50 GR game (WTA July ratings). My rating is 31. Besides the GR rating, and a classic WTA, I really don't mind phase lengths, if it is non anon or semi anon, or the point buy in.

How bad is a beer and approximately a bottle of wine on one evening?
Judging by what others at the party talked about I thought it was reasonable (although a bit more than I was going for, I really liked the wine...), but yet others seem to think it's quite too much. There were people more drunk than me, but I won't base my drinking habits on what others do..
It was the first time I 'really' drank, probably worth mentioning.

First Game!
Hello all, I plan on joining my first game. I've mainly used the site to read the forums so now I need advice. Is it better to join a random pre-made game or should I request players from the forum so as to ensure it is a good game. If the latter, then if you are interested please post here. Ideally I would like to start the game next week. Anon, WTA, and a medium buy-in. Look forward to it!
