DAIDE AI
Does anyone know how to get new AIs for DAIDE? I've only played against Albert and I'd like to get new ones but each time I get one it tells me its the wrong version. If anyone can help enable a fellow Diplo addict I'd appreciate it!

If gunboats are dog shit, then live press games with 5min phases are elephant shit.

What's the point of having press if there's only enough time to properly diplome with one player per turn?
Economy and clarity. You have to lose the irrelevant bravo sierra and focus on what's important. You have to see the board and figure out where the key struggles will take place. With a press game, at least you get to know if a neighbor is a moron right away.

And you can properly diplome with at least three players in five minutes.

Here's a rough idea of my experience in those type games. In this case I'll be Ger.

Spring diplomacy:
Eng: lets be allies
Rus: lets attack eng
Fra: lets attack eng

I don't say yes right away to any of them and instead try to organize a plan with one or two of them

Fall:
Nobody responds to me and Eng, Fra & Russia all attack me.

:O You mean you spoke to everyone, and then they didn't trust you?
LAG all the way
This should be your responses:

Eng: OK, so what does that mean?
Fra: OK, so how do you propose doing it? BTW, if you go to Burgundy, I know you plan to attack me.
Rus: OK, so how should we go about this? BTW, if you move to Gal, I will bounce you from Sweden.

Or even something more honest - Oh dear, that wasn't great. Guess I'm under attack from the <other side> then. How can we work together to fight this <name> alliance? I was thinking of <options>

This Time On Philosophy Weekly: Free As a (Causally-Determined) Bird
Right, so "causality" is apparently a four-letter word with my Philosophy of Religion professor, as for him there is absolutely no hearing an argument agaisnt free will, the whole, weeks-long discussion was led by him and emhpasized not IF we can have free will but rather HOW we DO have free will, ie, is it God, science, a balance, and on...so I present it to you, the WebDip Philosophical Community--CAN we have free will, if so to what degree, and if not, why, and is there any point to life?

Anonymous messages in-game
An idea went to my mind: what would you think of the option to write anonymous messages in your games? Parallel and independent to your regular comments of course.
Discuss here if it pleases you.

Rhyming game
This variant of the game seems like it can be a lot of fun. I had the pleasure of seeing one unfold about a year ago. Since I havent been on this site in so long, I have no idea if this has become a common trait among different games on this site now.
The rules are exactly the same as a normal dip game, but with one exception.
if you want to say something, you have to make it rhyme.

Decrimanalizing Marijuana
In Canada there is some discussion about decriminalizing Marijuana. It will still be against the law to use or distribute, but it will be punished by a ticket (like a traffic ticket) instead of a criminal record.
