Yep, yours truly and four other family members.

Sort of feels a bit like being back-stabbed.

So, I'm completely new to Diplomacy, and was wondering what the best way to get started. I read the help page, but it seems like it's a little incomplete...

I played the board game A Game of Thrones and was told it was vaguely similar to Diplomacy, and I think I'd like to try it out, but feel like a total n00b to just jump into a game... So... how do I start? Anyone want to help someone new get into the hobby?

Thanks...

Irrefutable evidence.

Come and have a game if you want. 20pts in.

Anybody else a huge Firefly fan?

how about this for an variant idea- all countries have a kill objective country.the game master decides which country has to kill which country, nobody knows the others kill objective country. once you have succeeded (or somebody else succeeded for you by foolishly wiping a non target country) then the game is halted and you win ( suppose technically it will be a draw in phpdip)
game master is needed to be fair about each countries kill objective - for example Austria will win if england is destroyed, england will win if turkey is destroyed etc. however austria and russia would be a bad match - too easy.
could be fun as people will naturally want to grow strong (but also protective of weaker near death countries) but maybe the country that hides their target and then strikes deep to destroy their target, not worrying about her home sc at all might win.

Please draw the game nothingness :P

I must say, I do find these 24hr deadlines a bit of a struggle, particularly considering you need time to analyse the map, suggest plans to allies, wait to hear back, and all while playing with people in different time zones. I realise that the option of longer deadlines is on the cards, but I do think the 'miss the deadline and your units hold' rule is a real problem. Not only does it put the guilty player at a big disadvantage, whose tardiness may well be a rare oversight or due to circumstances beyond their control, but it also puts his/her neighbours at a huge advantage, in that they suddenly have uncontested SCs for the taking, or find their attacks undefended against, which upsets the balance of the game and is unfair on the other players...

So, here's my suggestion. A 'three strikes and out' rule...

1. Miss a deadline and the game system automatically emails you a reminder to the email address you have registered with the phpDip, and then extends the game period by another 24 hours (or whatever).

2. Miss the extended deadline and you're docked a number of points -- exactly what the penalty would be I'm not sure, perhaps the original stake required to join the game? Again the deadline is extended.

3. Miss this third deadline and you're automatically ejected from the game, and again fined points. The turn isn't processed until another player takes over and actually puts in a turn...

I realise this could potentially slow things down, but my feeling is that this would be preferable to an unbalanced game. In any event, I think the game system automatically emailing reminders of deadlines/notices that a turn has been processes is a great idea. Mind you, I have no idea how feasible any of this would actually be to implement.

Discuss...

who would be interested in a 101 point WTA game?

that is all, thanks

250 the pot
250 the ante
250 the title
250 the.... yeah that's pretty much it

Cheers!

Oh and join!

Cheers!

As a player new to phpdiplomacy, I instinctively tried to avoid points-per-supply-center games, due to their dissimilarity to the goals of the FtF games I had played before. But, to my shock and horror, I found that there usually isn't a winner-take-all game open - though when there is, it tends to fill up quickly. As such, I cannot play in very many games, as the only games I am willing to play in are WTA games and I can't join them (because I don't see them often) or create them (because I have fewer than 101 points). As such, I beseech ye: please, let me create WTA games!

London supported Edinburgh to NS, but the fleet was not dislodged.

Hi All

Can someone explain what the tasker should say when one properly supports a convoy onto land?

Is there any global map dip-type game exist?

Basically, seven players join up, and we try to see how quickly I can win, given the random country I receive. It could lead to interesting tactical discussions, and use of the Global tab which is usually ignored.

I'll start a 50-point private game if anyone's interested. Who wants some?

I am sure this has been covered somewhere, but Why can't users with less than 101 create their own WTA games? Is this going to change? Sorry if its a repeat.

Would there be interest in different time limits for submitting moves? In every game I've started, I've ended up being away from the internet for a weekend, and lost my entire position (sometimes even gone into CD). I'd like to play, but it is not feasible at the moment.

Here's my proposal:

Let the player creating each game choose a number of hours, which will be the time limit for each move submission in that game.

This will not impede anyone who enjoys 24-hour time limits, but will allow others to enjoy faster or slower games.

If this is too difficult to program (I don't see why it would be, but I haven't seen the code), an alternate suggestion would be to just create a few time limit options: perhaps 12 hours, 24 hours, 72 hours.

Tell me what you think:

P.S. How do you create a WTA game? I don't see an option in the create game screen. Maybe I'm just blind.

Basically, seven players join up, and we try to see how quickly he can get screwed over, given the random country he receives. It could lead to interesting kamikaze tactics discussion, and the use of the Global-Bashing-Tab which is usually ignored.

He'll start a 5000-point private game if anyone's interested. Who wants some?

...string more than three words together and enjoy discussing moves...

We are currently missing a player from our Intensive Press game called Reuters (unfortunate circumstances robbed us of Braveheart). If you would like to play, please send me an e-mail and/or indicate in here.

It is a PPSC game for 47 points each.

See the thread: Reuters - Intensive Press Game for the names of the other players.

I finally have enough to start one of my own; this will be my first.

20 Points to join, low stakes, might as well play for fun!

Why do children see the need to play together, in order to ensure a pt share? My little pony, is one game where England, Germany and Russia played as one nation, pretty much. Not the same player, yet allied. Which was, admittedly, cheating. Now, as Turkey, in 1911, i finally die. germany and England worked too closely together, just checked the map history, and Germany put up little fight to England over running them. Check it out. Link in my profile... Hmmm. Point is... Is it ok to play with groups of friends without warning others? Ps check out E, G, and Russias profiles to see how OFTEN they play together

Fleet in Aegean attacks Eastern Med with support. Clear 2 on 1. Eastern Med not supported. Fleet in Aegean should be allowed to leave.

Anyone up for a high stakes game? Decide on a pot amount and then ill make a game.
