Is Playing Diplomacy a "Right?"

How many teenagers and twenty-somethings fritter away their days playing diplomacy instead of making sure they get an education or aren't a burden on society?

Why is America in so much debt?

The size of America's debt is staggering and it is really hard to imagine it ever being paid off and the long term negative consequences are very worrying. How did a country run by smart people allow itself to get into this awful predicament?

variant idea

Has this been tried before?

So I'm thinking of attempting to design some kind of randomly generated map to stir things up and avoid the same old alliances and same old outcomes. Would the community be interested in something like this? Would the powers that be support it if I was able to develop a good one?

Going Out With A Bang!

Like I said before, I'm leaving soon, so I'd like to have one last forum in which to annoy the hell out of you all. Simply put, I'm inviting all my friends to come and bitch before me. (friends meaning those of you on my lists)

Flag of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire?

Is anyone here knowledgeable on Austrian-Hungarian history? What would be the appropriate flag to represent the Austrian-Hungarian Empire in the context of the historical period related to the game of Diplomacy?

No Message-Global Message

HEY! So I am in gameID=64922 its no messaging whatsoever but I have a global message to look at, I assume it is something about a multi getting kicked but I can't read it to get the little message at the top to go away, so how do I get it to go away?

Abgemacht is an asshat fucktard.

He is the worst mod fucking damaging the community by insisting on bumping a post to the top that insults graphically and abusively another player in the opening message. Let's see how the fucktard likes this post staying at the top!

I had to get a cervical epidural (that'd be in the neck) yesterday that put me out of order for a bit, so I'm behind in the mod email list, but I'll get to it later today. Thanks for your patience.

Why is the colonial variant disabled?

I noticed that there are four other variants that are on the server yet are disabled. What is the purpose of this? Wouldn't more variants mean more gameplay for the members here? I know I'm new here so if there was a good reason before I left, I'm interested in hearing about it.

Sort of a Goodbye

School will be starting soon, so I'll have trouble keeping up with all of my games. I will definitely be taking a break, so you might not see me again until December. By then, I'm sure I'll have several new people to argue with in the forums and quite a few of you will have forgotten about me. But that's great! Wouldn't it be nice to have some worshippers on WebDiplomacy? That way I'd win every game!

Am I being naive here?

I never understand why people would ever want to have one-night stands/casual hookups. If you're attracted to someone enough to fuck them, why wouldn't you want to date them? I mean, I'm sure sex is fun, but wouldn't a relationship+sex be even more fun?

Recruiting for a new game

101-200

| WTA | 1.5 - 2 day phases | anon / non anon | classic

Tru Ninja (1016 )
09 Aug 11 UTC

I'll create the game after I get 6 dedicated people for a troll-free game. You can post interest here or PM me and I'll add you.

Webpoca (197 )
09 Aug 11 UTC

Would love to join! The shorter the phase the better. 101

would be perfect.

qtlp (473 )
10 Aug 11 UTC

I'll play if phases are at least 48hrs.

Tru Ninja (1016 )
10 Aug 11 UTC

I'll put the two of you down.

fortknox (2059 )
10 Aug 11 UTC

I'll play a longer phased game

Tru Ninja (1016 )
10 Aug 11 UTC

That makes 3 and most want the 2-day phases. The list is:

Webpoca
qtlp
fortknox
Tru Ninja

3 more.

zultar (4180 )
10 Aug 11 UTC

I'll put my name in the hat but only if there aren't enough players.

Tru Ninja (1016 )
10 Aug 11 UTC

There won't be, so I'll plug ya in :)

Cachimbo (1181 )
10 Aug 11 UTC

As I've said before, I'd love to play you TruNinja, but I'm in too many games at the present time. If I can manage to end one or two before you begin, I'll gladly join. Otherwise, I'll set one up and send you an invite as soon as the board clears up a bit.

Tru Ninja (1016 )
11 Aug 11 UTC

No probs Cachimbo. I'll put you down as 'tentative'

This makes the list:
Webpoca
qtlp
fortknox
Tru Ninja
Zultar
-------------------------------
Cachimbo if the game doesn't start soon
The general consensus seems to be 2-days (which I like)

2 more to go if I can get em soon, 1 if not.

Tru Ninja (1016 )
12 Aug 11 UTC

bump. I guess a lot of new threads were posted since I responded to this early this morning (well, technically yesterday morning)

Tru Ninja (1016 )
13 Aug 11 UTC

bump again

Cachimbo (1181 )
13 Aug 11 UTC

Looks like the skies might be clearing up on my board. With a bit of luck, I'll be out of 2 games very soon. I should thus be able to participate to yours.
I see the 2 days/phase seems to have the preference. If I may state another preference, I would like to play non-anon, but it's not make-or-break for me.

qtlp (473 )
13 Aug 11 UTC

I'd be fine with non-anon or anon.

Tru Ninja (1016 )
13 Aug 11 UTC

Ok, I'll add Cachimbo to the list, make it non anon with 2-day phases. I'll throw in the password and after everyone's joined if I haven't heard from someone else who wants to play, I'll publicly post the password unless any of you know someone who might like to join.

The official list is:
Webpoca
qtlp
fortknox
Tru Ninja
Zultar
Cachimbo

Lastly, I'll create the game now but put a 2-week deadline to allow Cachimbo to join when he can.

Cachimbo (1181 )
13 Aug 11 UTC

Crap... should have read that before I joined! hahaha

Well, like I said, I believe I should see at least one or two of my games finish this week, so it should be fine.

FirstApple (100 )

I'd be interested except for the 101-200 requirement. I don't have that much yet since I just started and I'm already involved in a few games. Maybe next time though

Tru Ninja (1016 )
14 Aug 11 UTC

no problem. I'm sure you'll be there soon enough.

@ Cachimbo: if the game starts and you're not up for it, we can pause, I'm sure.

Riphen (198 )

93

sorry..and last time I played with you I did not even do remotely good..but I do suck at Austria..... :(

So I would play if you would have me but I dont have enough points so really pointless for me to post but if you will lower to 93 I am willing to risk it all.

Tru Ninja (1016 )
14 Aug 11 UTC

The game is currently up. Sorry Riphen. If you'd have gotten to me earlier I'd have considered it.

santosh (335 )
14 Aug 11 UTC

I'd like to join if you have a slot left.

Cachimbo (1181 )
15 Aug 11 UTC

Shall we revive this thread then?

Cachimbo (1181 )
15 Aug 11 UTC

Just so I can warn all involved: I believe I will avail myself of the short delay Tru Ninja was willing to offer me the first time around. I'm looking forward to some games being over soon, and will find myself much more available for this new adventure in a few days from now.

Cachimbo (1181 )
15 Aug 11 UTC

Actually, looks like I'm good to go whenever since one of my games just got paused for a few days and I should be able to deal with the others during that time.

Cachimbo (1181 )
15 Aug 11 UTC

I've taken the liberty of creating the game anew.
Sending the PW to:
Webpoca
qtlp
fortknox
Tru Ninja
Santosh

Still one place left. The details are the same:
WTA, 2days/phase, 101p., non-anon

gameID=65653

Cachimbo (1181 )

Manas (818 )

Id like to join too

zultar (4180 )
16 Aug 11 UTC

Folks, thanks again for canceling the game for me. I am down to four games, two of which should finish relatively soon.

Cachimbo (1181 )
16 Aug 11 UTC

All right Manas. I'll send you the PW.

holloway (509 )
16 Aug 11 UTC

I would be up for it as well!

Cachimbo (1181 )
16 Aug 11 UTC

I've already sent a word to Manas. If for some reason he cannot join in the end, you're next on the list.

holloway (509 )

Portland, OR

Had some time to explore Portland, OR today. It was really nice. Clean, not congested, I never had to wait to cross the street. Overall, a much "happier" city than Boston. Oh, and a cute chick was dancing around flashing people, so no complaints there.

England's Riots

Does anyone oever there--or over here, for that matter--know what's going on, ie, why these folks are rioting?

All I get in searching for it are notifications about England's...cricket team...? And a friendly? Is that it, is this all one big "soccer riot," so to speak, or has Yahoo's serach engine failed once again, and there are real, important reasons behind all this?
