The case of Dominique Strauss-Kahn: Or, how I turned into Sicarius
This has the stench of a set-up, and a rather disgusting one - using rape.

Diplomacy Pod Cast
http://diplomacycast.com/

Eric Mead and Nathan Barnes have set up a site for pod casts on Diplomacy play. They just interviewed me on the play of Italy in the third segment. (I think my interview starts a little more than half way through the podcast).

Playing Italy... does anyone have issues playing Italy?
Check out this link that Edi Brison shared:
http://diplomacycast.com/files/other/DiplomacyCastEp3.mp3

start around minute 20 for a great conversation and detailed explanation of how to play well with Italy. Much of this will be boring for experienced players, but newer players or early to mid-level players should listen to improve their games dramatically.

Orders Not Being Recieved . . . .
Are any other players experiencing issues where orders after end of turn ARE NOT correlating with the orders you submitted? A couple of other players are saying “that’s not the orders I submitted” in more than one game and now I’ve experienced the same thing. I have 75+ games on this site under my belt and previously have calked up the incident as player error but this seems utterly peculiar to have actually been submitted under any circumstances.

Rules for Drawing a Game?
At what point does a game become officially drawn, even if one of the parties has not voted that way. Is there a way to "force" a draw? (with a moderator's help perhaps?)

Dark Press Dip, Draugnar. I'm unsure whether every player has it. The game # is gameID=58512 if anyone wants to follow.
Draugnar (0 DX)
17 May 11 UTC
Ah! Threw me for a loop cause there is a grey press game we are trying to get started called Dark Press (see Forum Press 2 - grey press thread) and I was all like "I don't remember anyone talking about twitter" so I thought I'd ask.

Thanks for clarifying that.
Raptura (1055 D)
17 May 11 UTC
Hopefully more players will react to this so we can be sure ot is not a gunboat again.
idealist (680 D)

yeh i mean i hope everyone in the game knows to check twitter.
Geofram (130 D(B))

Set your text messaging up to always get messages when DarkPressDip has a new post.
Geofram (130 D(B))
17 May 11 UTC
Also, why the limit to two messages per year?
This sounds like an awesome idea minus that.
idealist (680 D)
17 May 11 UTC
well during the last trial when we didnt limit messages, people just posted like crazy, and eventually, we stopped reading the posts and just gunboated.

we want to avoid that. if we can post unlimitedly, than we would just write like 7 message per turn. the whole idea of limiting messaging is priority. if you want to write a fake message, you sacrifice your shot to write a real one
Raptura (1055 D)
18 May 11 UTC
But the funny thing now is that (in contrast with the former game), the number of posts is low.
Stukus (2126 D)
18 May 11 UTC
Ya, trust me, Geofram, it gets too crazy with unlimited messages. There's no point in listening to anything. Plus, this has strategy, and a lot more regret. OH NO I USED MY MESSAGES NOW I CAN'T REFUTE THAT FAKE ONE DAMNIT!
Draugnar (0 DX)
18 May 11 UTC
Why call it Dark Press when it's actually Black Press? There is no public white press in it, so nothing grey or dark about it. Just pure anonymous press.
Geofram (130 D(B))
18 May 11 UTC
Yes, but two is too low.
I would limit the messages by game phase, not by physical time.
I'd also raise the limit to at least six (one per country) and every time someone tagged you in one of their posts, you get an extra post yourself.
Raptura (1055 D)
18 May 11 UTC
Every country can post one message per season, with the possibility to save one up for the next season within one year. So a max of 14 messages per year.
Stukus (2126 D)
18 May 11 UTC
@Draugnar, When I called it Black Press people said it wasn't black press, and it's not grey press, so I just called it dark.
@Geofram, it is limited by game phase, and that would result in unlimited posts. Besides, which you do we allow? The real France, or anyone acting as France? I agree 2 might be too low, but I really enjoy the stress of it.
idealist (680 D)
18 May 11 UTC
+1 stukus. i feel that some people are not posting. we didnt have 14 last year
Stukus (2126 D)
18 May 11 UTC
We definitely have people not posting. I hope this thread brings more in.
Geofram (130 D(B))
18 May 11 UTC
I liked the idea of being limited to 140 characters and I liked the idea of being able to post as other countries, but I hate the idea of one post per phase. I see now that my solutions would cause other problems. No bother, we'd have to find six others that share my sentiment anyway, seems like the current tweeters see 2/year as too much.
Stukus (2126 D)
18 May 11 UTC
After this game I'll gladly do another with different limits.
idealist (680 D)
18 May 11 UTC
2 per year isnt too much. i wonder if people forget to check twitter
Geofram (130 D(B))
18 May 11 UTC
@idealist
I don't think it was ever a question of 2 per year being too much.
In fact, you might find that players are all waiting to save their one message per semester for reactions. None of them willing to speak first because they won't be able to followup or rebuttal.

Tired and morally objectionable claim made in the thin veil of a poorly-worded question?
