Being a stand up ally!!!
I know diplomacy was originally designed as a game to win, but this site and the points and GR seemed to have changed the way you can look at the game.
How do people feel about being a good ally? For example, 5 player left in a game m and 3 are on one side while two are on the other. It's pretty much a stalemate unless one of the sides is willing to stab the other. Should one always stab, or is there something to be said about being a good ally to the end?

Alcohol prohibition in Kerala
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-28892073

Now where have we seen that tried and failed ...... grow up India.
Ever considered the reason why there seems to be a problem is because people like drinking alcohol and that's why the ban won't work dickheads

American Empire Anomaly
Howdy folks,

I've noticed that all the Fall of the American Empire IV games are either extremely fast (5 minute rounds) or extremely slow (3 day rounds). Could anyone explain the apparent disinterest in 1-day-round games for this variant?

AEST live game 9am tomorrow morning?
Living in Australia, it's hard to get in to many live games. Would there be interest in a Sunday morning AEST live game tomorrow? (that's the east coast of Australia for those playing at home).

A guide to not being gullible
I am playing a game currently where a player is believing that his "ally" won't stab him even though his ally is well on their way to a solo and the gullible player is tied up fighting me. I am trying to organize against the solo threat but gullible prevails. Any tips for gullible players?

"It's immoral to bring them into the world"

That's the opinion of Richard Dawkins - and possibly a somewhat controversial opinion at that.

Are you a bit older? Don't have the oppressive need for instant gratification?
I'm looking to start a classic game with 3-5 day phases. I'm currently thinking about a 100+ point buy-in, but I can definitely bend on that. I only ask that you be able to explain any CDs on your record as either a live game or some sort of extenuating circumstance. Anyone interested?

Race riots. Ironic too that they're happening in St. Louis, one of the only cities that didn't have much violence back in the 60s. The police couldn't resist.

Convoying a Retreating unit
Suppose an English army unit is at Holland and is attacked by German unit from Kiel with support from Ruhr and Belgium. In normal case it is forced to disband because it doesn't have anywhere to retreat to.
But what if we allow the English fleet at north sea to convoy the retreating army unit to some place; say Edinburgh?
Is this feasible? If yes, then how will it affect the game overall?

Anyone needs some webdesign?
I was going to do some webdesign for someone to earn some money in the holidays, but that project apparently got sort of cancelled and it's a bit late to apply for a holiday job now I think, so I'm offering my services again.. See first reply for what I can do. I copied it from the last time I advertised, in case anyone recognizes it.

Since this game is essentially modeled on WWI, I think it's fitting to mark this occasion. What for us is a game was in reality a horrendous tragedy.

The war was far more horrendous than the treaty.

It's not a contest of which was worse, it's a recognition that they both sucked and if there was any validity at all to one it was completely invalidated by the other.

Watch the pilot of Nichols where an officer is explaining how the .30 caliber Browning machine gun was going to end war because no one would be stupid enough to lead a calvary charge against one.
Putin33 (111 D)

Right, I guess what I'm hoping for is that more people recognize WWI was horrible by itself, not just because it led to WWII. Whatever the content of the treaty, it wasn't worth it.
A bloody war of attrition.

I'd say Dalton Trumbo won the best anti-war novel out of World War I with "Johnny Got His Gun" but if you're into the photography side of things as opposed to the figurative language side, the cover of that one is quite - how should I put this - riveting...?
