Grrr I wish I wasn't in that position I didn't want to draw with three people but I was in a awkward position with England one that if he played it right could of won. Although I dont know his intentions maybe we could of had a two-way draw.

What Makes A Variant Fun?
What are the top qualities that make a Diplomacy variant fun for you, and why?
Stukus (2126 D)
30 Apr 11 UTC
For me, one thing is a good number of players. There's not much diplomacy that can happen when there's only a few people. Second is balance. As much as I like the Rinascimento variant, a lot of players have no chance of winning, and a few have great ones, so it's too unbalanced to really enjoy. And, as minor as it is, setting appeals to me, too. I prefer historical maps from interesting time periods.

flavour - whether historical or fictional
interesting balance - where not all players are on equal footing but diplomacy gives them the opportunity to counter these the imbalances.
tactics - interesting possibilities... something which is not too simple.

stale-mate lines, not too many not too few, just right.

@Stukus - One thing I was thinking about Rinasc... was perhaps the minor nations could be merged into larger nations that start off spread out?

My favourite is that I still get emails about Alacavre a year after its creation with suggestions for how to make it fairer :P
Stukus (2126 D)

That's what I thought would work for Rinasc, as well. It's not realistic, but in a game, playability has to take center stage. Like how Rome: Total War has the Greek Cities as a faction. I'm trying to think about what to do for a variant once I get a full-time job and can waste time. I like the idea of a spread out faction that has to choose where to marshal its resources and where to sacrifice temporarily.

Diplomatic Tactics
The recent post on destiny in your own hands in Diplomacy (in the Why is diplomacy the best game ever? thread) got me thinking about an observation that's been brewing in the back of my mind. See post to follow.

Comment about FireFox and Plura and question about FireFox 4.0
When FireFox went from 3.5 to 3.6, Plura started stealing focus from the other elements of the webdip page, so I, and others, opted out of Plura. I thought I'd check to see if it was still a problem and opted back in with no ill results so far after a few weeks.

Google's new BETA is scary!
I didn't notice this one coming through, but there's a new Google beta that gives extra weighting to articles that are linked to your social group. As a result, whilst trying to find a proof that odd solutions to 2^n=7x^2+y^2 are unique, it gave me a paper by Kestas!

Sir Obi and the Brown Night (WHat Do You Expect, It's Dusty Here in LA County!)
The Arthurian Legend, and "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" in particular, is my all-time favorite legend...and as Easter draws to a close--and Passover was earlier in the week--I was wondering: what are some of your favorite myths, legends, and folktales, what do they mean to you...and any chance you think they were true, at all?

Question for Putin33:
You're the only genuine communist I think I have ever encountered. Sure there are plenty of liberals who go "Communism! Aw....!" with big wet eyes, but very few of them are communists themselves. So my question is: what's so great about Communism?

I wonder:
How come Corsica is Italian at the start of the game, and not French. How come Sardinia and Crete never seem to be occupied. How come, Iceland is connected with the Clyde and changes color accordingly.

What do you guys think about a 3 min phase game, times would be cut in virtually half. Games go by much faster, almost puts pressure on the person to think quickly. Maybe shoot a message to Kestas and get a 3 min phase thing going here?
