everyone knows it's all about the live winner-take-all gunboat games on the standard map. how do ghost ratings work? is there some way of pulling stats out of the database for this analysis? i want LWTAGBCV ratings!
At most, how many subsets can you find of the set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13} such that any two intersect in exactly one element? What about |A| = 10? Show a proof along with the answer.
Gunboat is more true to board Diplomacy than press
In the Diplomacy rulebook, it is explicitly stated that no diplomacy or discussion may take place during what we call "retreats" and "builds" phases. Let's see what it means for legitimacy of press games.
WebDip Trials! This Time: "God Is Not Great"/"Religion Poisons Everything"--Y/N?
Forget IF God exists or not...supposing he did, would it be a good thing? Would it be, as Dante describes, an unparalleled Paradisio that makes a journey through Life, Hell, and everything else worth it? Or would it be the "Celestial North Korea" Hitchens spoke out against? Benevolent Father or Horrible Slave Master--God, you're on Web Dip Trial!
gameID=79291 Thanks for the game guys, I really enjoyed it. Maniac, great alliance and sorry for the stab. I had a secured position in the Med so I had to go for the solo.
' [R]esearchers at the CERN lab near Geneva claimed they had recorded neutrinos, a type of tiny particle, travelling faster than the barrier of 186,282 miles (299,792 kilometers) per second. Now it seems Einstein's reputation has been restored after a source close to the experiment told the US journal Science Insider that "A bad connection between a GPS unit and a computer may be to blame."

We started planning Boston F2F in December, so we appear to be behind... or is the plan to crash World Diplomacy Championship at Weasel Moot VI : http://www.facebook.com/events/237129306368896/
I have a 15 month old little girl and so there would have to be a lot of begging before the WDC can happen, but a tournament in St. Louis, MO? I'm there. I've cast the first vote.
Sandgoose, my memory is crap, and I can't keep track of everything on this site, I don't even try, kind of like how I don't even try to figure out who people are in an anonymous game, it's just more work that I don't have time for. :-)
Boston was great, but I thought the majority wanted to move it around each year?
@MM, yeah, it would probably be more fair if did move around in order to give more people from different areas the opportunity to attend. However, it'll probably just come down to what ever is convenient to whoever steps up to make arrangements and organize things.
vegas saint louis austin boston seattle houston or something
let's be real the location last year was perfect, the venue i mean. i'm interested in the idea and i can look into making arrangements in austin or houston if there is interest for those spots.
I have no problems with you guys crashing Boston Massacre (June 23-24). If you choose to do another one, I can help you get in contact with the organizers if you don't have their info. Hit me up if you're interested in Massacre, though!
I will also be at WDC, so my vote is for that. BTW, if anyone is considering attending, pre-registration saves you $10: http://windycityweasels.org/wdc
Well, thanks for nothing, Jim decided to kick my ass all over the boards in Seattle, and just because I decided to harass him indefinitely for no reason whatsoever, talk about being over sensitive... BUT, I did get Jim to admit that if we play again he's just going to give me Scandinavia straight away, to save us both from *years* of frustration and fighting, so I guess I've started those very WDC mind games a bit early myself!
We'd love to have a big crowd of WebDippers (is that what we call ourselves) at the WDC at Weasel Moot in August (Aug. 10-12 at the Congress Plaza Hotel). The venue is right downtown in Chicago, and it should be a great tournament. Central location, five rounds of Diplomacy, and the opportunity to play for the World Championship. Plus, I'll throw in Scandinavia. Check out www.windycityweasels.org/wdc for more info.
Jim may promise you Scandanavia now, but don't think that he won't come take it back later! Don't trust him!
Seriously, though, you should head to WDC in Chicago, if you possibly can. If it's anything like the previous events that the Weasels have put on, you will surely enjoy your time there.
maybe i can make that. maybe. i think school starts again right near there and god knows what im doing this summer but ill keep chicago on the brain. sounds fun.
aah... MM...buddy.... how should I break this to you... no, I just can't. He never said that, you're right. you also never have been anything but ... good... to me, ay.
lol... I love this thread... and its got my juices pumping and wanting to do some of these tournaments. maybe WDC this year. would be fun. I need to break my record of horrible FtF tournament performances since Boston!
speaking of which - I'll help any way I can with another WebDip FTF tourney... I'm cool with repeating Boston if we can't get TD/TMs organized for another city... last year was off-the-hook!
i'm going to try to stay in the loop on this - please lets do it again and not let it fall through the cracks!
@MM If you're going to insist on labels, then label me a PBMer. I cut my teeth on the postal hobby, and a postal player I'll always be. Truth be told though, I've done a couple of tours in the DipWorld online community, and while I don't have a current game going in either place, I also play at both stabbeurfou and playdiplomacy.
@cbrand why on earth would Jim discuss my qualities as an ally when he and I never allied? Check and mate! Plus, everyone on this site knows I'm the best ally ever, you have no case, mate, even TheWiz cannot argue that fact, lol!!
Hey Babak, did you ever get that retraction memo, it was announced that I officially won Boston F2F, some unspoken F2F rule: He who tops the final table wins the tourney
Anyway, we'll have to do another webDip F2F Tournament, it's actually quite an adrenaline rush to win the damn thing, I think you'd enjoy it! ;-)
