Anyone wanna take over for Persia?
Persia isn't in too terrible of a position here, and it'd be really nice to speed up the game.

Civil Disorder
I am participating in a couple of games where some countries have gone CD. What is your opinion on this? When would you cancel a game with CD's?

Ancient Medd - tactics
So I've played a few games. I was wondering what seems to be some sound strategies for Greece or Egypt - because I get my arse kicked playing both.

Diplomacy doesn't simulate 20th-C Warfare
A random thought from the "alternate history" thread: Diplomacy does not generate reasonable alternative histories from the WWI era, because it doesn't simulate modern warfare.

Non-anonymous game
Anybody is in for one? I am talking about full press, 250+ points bet, 48 hours. Diplomacy is a dirty thing, and it is too easy to hide behind anonymity. Anybody in for the REAL thing?
Draugnar (0 DX)
22 Mar 11 UTC
Bring the bet down and you know I'm in. I like non-anon.
Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))
22 Mar 11 UTC
I'd play, if you'll have me. I've almost played exclusively anon, so this would be an interesting change for me.
Baskineli (100 D(B))
22 Mar 11 UTC
Draug, what is the maximal bet you are willing to take?
LanGaidin (1509 D)
22 Mar 11 UTC
I'll hedge my bet and say 78? ;)
LanGaidin (1509 D)
22 Mar 11 UTC
You're not talking public press, are you? Or just all communications are acceptable?
Draugnar (0 DX)
22 Mar 11 UTC
50. I have to save some for the Leagues.
Draugnar (0 DX)
22 Mar 11 UTC
69 absolute max. I like that number for more than just that it leaves me 10 D.
SacredDigits (102 D)
22 Mar 11 UTC
If Lan is in, I'd love to play him again.

And the rest of you too.

I'm pretty new, but I understand I've caught on pretty well.
Baskineli (100 D(B))
22 Mar 11 UTC
50 it is. We are talking full press here - not only public press.

Draugnar, Tom Bombadil, LanGaidin, SacredDigits, Baskineli.

We need two more.
Draugnar (0 DX)
23 Mar 11 UTC
I like this group so far... It'll be hard to decide who to stab first.
Baskineli (100 D(B))
23 Mar 11 UTC
You can stab me first.
I'm interested. I tried to organise a game with Draugnar myself, but it didn't work out. It's going to be even more interesting with non-anon.
Draugnar (0 DX)
23 Mar 11 UTC
PPSC or WTA? I'm good either way.
Baskineli (100 D(B))
23 Mar 11 UTC
I prefer WTA. It tends to be more interesting...
Baskineli (100 D(B))
23 Mar 11 UTC
Basvan, you are in as well.

One more.
SacredDigits (102 D)
23 Mar 11 UTC
I believe I only know most of you by reputation...I've played Lan either one or three times depending on how you count it, and I'm in a game of Draug's, but being utterly crushed before being anywhere near him. I'm really looking forward to this as a learning experience because I believe in the chess mantra: the only way you get better is by playing people better than you.

And who knows. Maybe I'll be underestimated and make it big.
BESM (18622 D)
23 Mar 11 UTC
48 hours is too long. I'm fine with the bet. Rather PPSC than WTA but can playeither.
Draugnar (0 DX)
23 Mar 11 UTC
Well, then I should sufficiently bring down your skill level. I'm hardly in Lan or Bask's league, and Tom just made a fool of me in the School of War undergrad game where he and I are the TAs.
Baskineli (100 D(B))
23 Mar 11 UTC
BESM, would 36 suit you?
SacredDigits (102 D)
23 Mar 11 UTC
I sorta managed to get the better of Lan once, or so I thought, when we were playing three linked games PPSC. I did solo one of them, and he didn't get more than, oh, about 10 SC's out of any of the three, but he did somehow manage to still get first place aggregate. It's one of those moments that make Diplomacy great where you think you've outmaneuvered someone and bam, they beat you.

I'll race you to see who gets eliminated first, Draug. :)
Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))
23 Mar 11 UTC
Wow this is looking like a good game, especially if we get BESM in. I know he and bas have kicked my ass, I've enjoyed my game with Draug and have yet to play with Bask, Lan, or Sacred.
Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))
23 Mar 11 UTC
oh, I've sorta played with Bask, but I picked up a late CD in that game.
LanGaidin (1509 D)
23 Mar 11 UTC
We've played once Tom - in the Master's Tourney last year. 2-way draw if I remember correctly.
LanGaidin (1509 D)
23 Mar 11 UTC
I'm in; I've enjoyed my games w/ BESM as well, even when I haven't come out in the best shape. The three game set w/ SD was a unique experience to say the least, but was quite enjoyable.
I think there is a huge difference between chess and diplomacy. In chess, you should play the board, and do not care about who your opponent is. In diplomacy, the situation is almost reversed.

I believe the best way to learn in diplomacy is to play lots of different people, as to be able to adapt to various negotiation styles.
Oh, and if this game is to be PPSC, that's fine with me.
joey1 (198 D)
23 Mar 11 UTC
If you still need one more, I would be willing to play.
BESM (18622 D)
23 Mar 11 UTC
I don't follow threads well, but responding to message. 36hours is fine. do we know how much yet?

Bump.
joey1 (198 D)
24 Mar 11 UTC
I created the game, gameID=54342. I will send the password to those on the list.
joey1 (198 D)
24 Mar 11 UTC
Cost = 50 WTA, 36 hours. I think I got the people who were on the list first. (if I messed up and someone wants to create another 'correct' game, please go ahead).
KalelChase (1499 D(G))
24 Mar 11 UTC
Joey - if you find you are short one please let me know. I'd participate.
Who's on the list now?
joey1 (198 D)
25 Mar 11 UTC
LanGaidin, SacredDigits, joey1, and Draugnar have already signed up
Waiting for: basvanopheusden, Tom Bombadil and Baskineli. (sent password by PM).

I did one error in only making the sign up phase 36 hours, so if the three who are left haven't signed up by 3:30 PM EDT then I will send the password to others who have expressed an interest.
Draugnar (0 DX)
26 Mar 11 UTC
You should not have usurped bask's position by giving his spot to someone else.
Draugnar (0 DX)
26 Mar 11 UTC
BESM signed up before Joey. We shoud never have joined Joey's game so I say we all cancel. If not, I'll ask a mod to cancel this as it was done under flase pretenses and everyone thought it was Bask's game.
Baskineli (100 D(B))
27 Mar 11 UTC
I am sorry for the delay.

The game has been created and messages with the password sent to:

Draugnar, Tom Bombadil, LanGaidin, SacredDigits, basvanopheusden and BESM.

Delete paused game
Hi there, I got a little question. Is there any way to delete an old paused game which is without any hope to get ever unpaused? I've got such a game (http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=31234) and I'd really like it to disappear from the top of my games overview.

Setting up games in advance: time troubles

Validity of Four+ Draws
I'm curious to hear opinions about four-way (or more) draws. Are there legitimate games that can be pointed to as examples of a real "draw" with established stalemate lines, or are they simply an excuse to boost stats for games where people should have cancelled?
