So the United STATES of America...
Technically 50 different countries... Or at least that was the original idea.
Do you treat your state as a country? What do you think is good or bad about this system ( 50 differeent mini govermentd under one super goverment)?

Live and Private (Password) Games
Is it a good idea to give Live and Private (Password) games their own tabs instead of being grouped with the new games? Recently I am seeing more of these games than anything else, and it would be nicer to see just the games I can actually play.

How do we teach Jesus's message without teaching about God
the question - 'how do we teach Jesus's message without teaching about God' - i feel it is a very important question to answer considering there are a number of atheists in our society - and secular freedoms gives us the right to raise our children a members of any religion or none.

Question about open games
I have been in many games in the past few weeks where a player or two (or three) went missing. Rarely has anyone jumped in and taken over the power. I was wondering, What are the percentages of a game getting a player to jump in after a country has gone CD?
jimgov (219 D(B))
17 Jan 10 UTC
I know that I want to jump into a few, but the points needed vs. the rewards are pretty bad. Is there any way to make it more attractive to a player to take over a power, like making it only 1/2 of the points the country is "worth" at that moment? Just a thought.
figlesquidge (2131 D)
17 Jan 10 UTC
No there isn't, because sometimes the powers to be replaced are in brilliant situations.
However, some form of scaling could possibly be used, perhaps the fraction could be related to pot/ (fraction of units owned )^2 or similar. I haven't tried this though so I don't know how it would go.
dave bishop (4694 D)
17 Jan 10 UTC
Yeah, I think half price if a power has equal or less than his starting SCs
figlesquidge (2131 D)
18 Jan 10 UTC
Hmm, these are more sensible ideas. Don't think we've had this chat before, people have always just been demanding cheaper CD takeovers.

My first ever Diplomacy win was taking over a CD Turkey where the juggernaut was up to about 20 centers, and Russia had left himself wide open to a stab. That CD takeover most definitely should not have been half price.

Recently took over a CD turkey where Italy and Turkey were holding of a growing Germany. I played for two rounds and drew the game and made about 25 D. Easiest 25 ever!
figlesquidge (2131 D)
18 Jan 10 UTC
Precisely. I know of a game where that sort of thing happened. Russia was taken over and stabbed Italy for the lions share of a 3k pot.
general (100 D)
18 Jan 10 UTC
yes because in certain games you build up a relationship with another player and a new player just can't carry that forward.
jimgov (219 D(B))
18 Jan 10 UTC
Well some countries are "worth" an amount, I presume, based on SCs, and the actual units are less because they were attacked and destroyed. Just keeps people out of games where a country could still make a difference instead of just being easy pickings.

Looking at analytics a couple of days ago there was a definite lull over the xmas break, but it looks like now that everyone is back hard at work the site is back to normal activity ;-P So hopefully any CD trend should have reversed/be reversing
figlesquidge (2131 D)
18 Jan 10 UTC
Although in fairness General one should always expect that their ally may stab, so its still our fault if that happens to us.
Kamen (1935 D(S))

If we would have a "Leave" option maybe some of those guys who decided to leave would use it. That would make possible for those who want to jump in to do it faster and not to wait two phases while CD country is falling apart and becoming less and less attractive for takeover.

Old story, I know...
jimgov (219 D(B))
18 Jan 10 UTC
I like the leave option. Unfortunately..I am afraid that some may abuse it if they get in a bad situation. Maybe you can only use it x number of times?
figlesquidge (2131 D)
18 Jan 10 UTC
I think that if you go into CD and are under 100 then that's tough luck and you shouldn't be given your points back. That would have an effect I think, although it must be noted it would lead to more people creating new accounts.
Kamen (1935 D(S))
18 Jan 10 UTC
@jimgov - how could somebody abuse it? I think that if somebody thinks he is in bad situation now he simply stops playing. With the leave option he could at least drop out at once and let others play without need to wait for a whole phase. Old rule that by missing two phases you are forced to leave should stay, of course.
jimgov (219 D(B))
18 Jan 10 UTC
New player, in a bad position, seeing a button that basically says "I quit." Not veteran players, but I could see a potential problem. You want new players to stick it out. You do not want to give them an easy way out.
figlesquidge (2131 D)
18 Jan 10 UTC
Firstly, to clarify I'm really not sure on the issue, I'm just pointing out both sides.

If we make it easier to quit, some players will jump out when they should be playing on and trying to save the game. Fining points for CDs would reduce this, but those most likely to do so would still end up doing it, and just start a new account after.
Kamen (1935 D(S))
18 Jan 10 UTC
The right thing to do would be to ask those players who have quit why they did it and how could we prevent this. At the moment we are all guessing, of course. My guess is that not having leave button doesn't stop them quitting.

The best thing is to "earn" some points and to play more "expensive" games. Then the others will come and repeating our posts here :-).
