I currently host a few articles here "https://sites.google.com/site/webdiplomacylinks/

I'm happy to have them used here, and to accept more contribhtions.
A good strategy section here would be nice.

Also if anyone is interested, i'm still keen on youtube reviews of a game with commentaries from players, like an EoG perhaps.

Ora, I have had too much wine to reply tonight, but I will take a look tomorrow.

! Nice page start ! ( https://sites.google.com/site/webdiplomacylinks/ )

Yes, it would be a must to make this fine site #1 !

? youtube reviews ? Why not? --> Wanna be a 'Games Caster' !?!
and to subdivided the Forum into a few topics:

- Games ( live, invites, discussion )
- Strategy ( questions, rant & discussion )
- Mods ( Dev., "Multis", etc...... )
- News ( public interest stuff )

That is a nice start. I do not think there is a single link in the getting started sections of we dip that go to articles like these. Would there be any interest in hosting articles on the website?

Here's a list of websites I made that I thought were very useful. I'm quoting myself from January a year ago, so sorry if something is not too relevant:

"
Diplomacy is a strategy board game with simultaneous turns and no dice or luck of any kind. Sound interesting?

In case you have no idea what I'm talking about, or are already addicted to the game, check out the links below!

Resources:
* Good copy of the rules: www.stabbeurfou.org/Regles.php (The first hyperlink on this page will give you a searchable and copiable PDF of the rules and the second one clarifies a couple ambiguities.)
* If you are having difficulty with with how the rules would play out in a certain order resolution phase, use this judge to settle the question: gamesbyemail.com/Games/Politics/Judge
* The Diplomacy Archive, a great site with strategy guides and much more: www.diplomacy-archive.com
* Another such site, The Diplomatic Pouch, though most of its content is accessible from the other site: http://devel.diplom.org (check out The Library of Diplomacy Openings, devel.diplom.org/DipPouch/Online/Openings, and the Visual Index to Stalemate Positions, devel.diplom.org/Online/StalematesAtoY/visual.htm)
* Official site (I haven't really explored it; the site is fairly new): http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=ah/prod/diplomacy

(More) Interesting Stuff:
* To play Diplomacy on-line: www.phpdiplomacy.net (the main page gives a short introduction to the game)
* Variants of the game: www.variantbank.org

@dumb

If you wrote a thoughtful, coherent, and helpful review, you'd have my full support to get it into the Help section.

@orath

I would love to do a Dip youtube video with you.

@Dharm

I strongly doubt this forum will ever change.

@abgemacht Ok ... ;/

@dumb: ... WIZARDS Bought out Diplomacy (also!?) !!?! omg

Between the Diplomatic Pouch and Diplomacy Archive, they have a huge selection of strategy articles, including variants.

JECE, as far as that phpdiplomacy.net site goes, I've used it. It's not that great. The forum sucks :P

Our best bet may be to just have a category in help called "Strategy" or something that has links to places like Diplomacy Pouch and such.

We should probably also post a link to Ghost's ranking site and a one-liner about what it is in the FAQ section.

... I TOLD YOU NOT TO GO THERE !!!

2ndWhiteLine: Yeah, I swear that I haven't posted once once on its forum.

Zarathustra: That would amount to official sanction of the GR's.

A great intro work is a book by Richard Sharp called The Game of Diplomacy. Its on the web free to download written in the 70's. I advise checking it out.
