The Top 10 Greatest Militaries Of All-Time
I love philosophy, literature, and theatre, and hope to make that my life's work, but when I was younger, Military History was one of the biggest things for me- and it still is fascinating. So- who WERE the greatest Military Forces of All-Time, 10 to 1? 2 Notes: -Comparisons between time periods is inevitable, but just remember the merits of the each Force -"Great" can be forces that fought to conquer or for peace, and all branches of the Military should be considered

England in the world cup
So what do people think about England's chances in the cup? They got out of the group stage but now have to play Germany. England's had trouble scoring and Germany's defence are amazing so their chances seem slim. And if they do beat Germany, they have to play the winner of Argentina-Mexico, which will most likely be a very tough Argentina.

Time
Just a suggestion for the site. You should make it possible for the player to set their time zone for the times. Times are in UTC-4, and where exactly is that? I don't claim to know anything, but isn't that in the Atlantic?

ethics question.
is it right for an experienced player to take over a leaderless country in an existing game which appears to have been set up as a beginners game? or is it ok to join as long as you don't win?

How prevalent is cheating?
In anonymous live games, I find myself doubting everyone whenever I lose. But I realize that it is probably not the case that there are cheaters in nearly every game I play, but there are probably cheaters in some. So, what is the likely prevalence of cheating? My guess would be about 1 in 5 games, taking into account communicating with other players in a gunboat game or meta-gaming. Is that accurate?
figlesquidge (2131 D)

No, its lower than that
TheHand (656 D)
27 Jun 10 UTC
Really? 1 in 5 means 2 accounts in 35, about 6%.
Amon Savag (929 D)

How does 1 in 5 only account for 6%? Must be some physics math you're doing.
TheHand (656 D)
27 Jun 10 UTC
Each game has 7 players, and cheating takes 2. In 5 games, there are room for 35 players. 2/35=.057, or approx. 6%
jcbryan97 (134 D)
27 Jun 10 UTC
I think they mean 1 in 5 games equals 1 in 35 accounts
TheHand (656 D)
27 Jun 10 UTC
2 in 35, because it takes 2 to cheat.

I play a couple live anon games each day and it's been several weeks since I saw a multi. If you play reasonably high bet WTA games you don't get a lit of cheats because they aren't good enough to afford that sort of thing.
TheHand (656 D)
27 Jun 10 UTC
What about meta-gaming? I would thing that becomes more of a problem with regulars, because there's more likelihood of relationships developing off-site (i.e. AIM, IRC, etc.)
Amon Savag (929 D)
27 Jun 10 UTC
I bet that happens some... But not as much as you'd think. I have joined games with people I know off-site on this site and we've played full games to win, even against each other. Competitiveness seems to be a pretty big deal in diplomacy (Much to my appreciation)
figlesquidge (2131 D)
27 Jun 10 UTC
Not really, because most regulars are here for fun rather than just to show off.

I would suggest the average age for a cheat here is about 14, whereas lots of the regulars are around 18.

TheHand (656 D)

Interesting. I'd be curious to see the stats for confirmed cheaters. Seeing what their average points were, the distribution by pot size, etc. It could be an interesting study.
figlesquidge (2131 D)
27 Jun 10 UTC
There have been some that have just blatently cheated, creating fake accounts and playing games with just themselves, and so often get 700 D. However this stands out and they're unlikely to get a real game without being caught.
Others normally top it at 200 or so
