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?

Could we add a new map

I would like to request for a new map but not just any map a map of a game series called Fallout. The map would be a little like fall of the american empire but a little smaller it would just contain usa (except Hawaii), canada and mexico. There would be 12 factions.The NCR, Caesars Legion,The Enclave,The Commonwealth,The super mutants,The Great Kahns, The Chinese remnants jackal Raiders,viper raiders and 3 brotherhood of steel texas, midwestern and capitol.

I already have the locations for each faction the thing is it doesn't have to be named fallout for copyright reasons it could be called like the aftermath of ww3 or something.

I like punctuation but only sometimes and also I don't really fully understand how complicated creating a new variant is.

Tergem (100 )
11 Jul 14 UTC

The code base behind this is open source is it not? Can't you just code a new variant yourself and host it on your own site as long as you follow the rules and regulations as detailed on the developer's page (http://webdiplomacy.net/developers.php)?

I always wanted interplay or Bethesda to make a rts version but they didn't so I wanted to make all fallout fans dream a reality sort a and try to make a diplomacy version of it

So, why aren't you making it?

Also if you just want a good Fallout world strategy, may I direct you to the Fallout modification to Hearts of Iron II (http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?311272-War-war-never-changes...)?

See "New variants" in the FAQ here: http://webdiplomacy.net/faq.php

"If a variant has lasting appeal, is well balanced, isn't gimmicky, has been tried and tested on another server, and was created by a reputable developer, then it's up for consideration to be included in the standard release."

I don't think you're motivating this proposed variant very well. What is different about it, compared to the other variants? What features would the map have that make it interesting to play? How would you make sure it is balanced?

I don't think that just changing a setting is enough (and, I also don't think that changing the name while still basing it on Fallout is enough to sidestep any legal issues).

As others have pointed out, the vdip community is more welcoming to variants - you might have more luck over there.

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!
