America and Islam...To Quote A Famous Jewish Philosopher:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100908/ts_alt_afp/usattacksreligionislam Really, first the protestations over that plan to build a mosque near the site of the WTC attacks, and now "Koran Burning Day???" I don't really care about any Holy Book, but I don't think it's AT ALL appropriate to burn them...flag burning's questionable but you can AT LEAST say it's maybe a prostestation against the government; this is attacking individuals's belief!

Chaos Italy and Fleet Rome
I apologize if this is old and boring for the forum, but I was wondering about experiences that folks have had playing these variants. Are they fun? Balanced? Fleet Rome (Italy starts with a fleet in Rome instead of an army) in particular looks like a promising way to give Italy a few more options in the early going. Thoughts?

tactical advice for game on another site
before i discovered the awesomeness of webdip, i started an account over at playdiplomacy.com and started some games. I am pretty committed to this site, but don't want to abandon my games over there. Anyway, I have gotten myself in a bit of a pickle, and I would like to ask some tactical advice.

before i go into specifics, is this kind of thread even kosher?

Looking for a sitter
It looks like some people in my game won't vote for pause :-P.
I will be back on 18th. Playing one Ancient Mediterranean game (1 D phase) and one Classic (2 D2h but this one is very close to the end).
Are there any volunteers for sitting in my game?

Shalom...and a Happy Rosh Hashanah!
Yep--happy Jewish New Year, everybody!

What that means practically I don't know, if I were religious maybe it'd mean something, but it's still a good excuse to show some New Years good will...and have a New Years celebratory drink or two... ;)

High Pot WTA Chaos Game!!
There's only 24 hours to join, and we need 16 more- so this is a bit of a long shot.
The bet's 50 D, and the total pot will be 2200 as Oli will put an extra 500 in if the game gets going.

Obiwanobiwan and the Quest For The Rushmore Of Music!
Well, that Philosophers contest almost entirely fun (damn you, Seneca! lol) and I was going to propose a world leaders contest next...but that BAND contest never went anywhere, never ended...so start nominating songs (max 5 per person) and we'll take the first 50 or so (flexible there) and give them 3 D each until we reach our Top 20, then start like last time. ANY genre, from Beethoven to the Beatles to Britain's Anthem to Bieber (OK, THAT will get tossed fast!) ;)

you might have better luck starting a live game if you advertise in the live games thread instead of starting a new thread.
Hi Mr. Latta. How're you doing? Is life more or less fun with Jack gone?

On metagaming and Diplomacy - a few quotes
It seems that quite a few people here have a negative opinion on so-called "metagaming". Metagaming is a term for using information that is not usually available inside the game.
I think that metagaming IS the real Diplomacy. I've collected a few quotes by famous Diplomacy players that might be interesting for you:
