I read if 6 or 5 players are available a country (or more) should be eliminated, but is there a variation where instead eliminating countries supply centers are shared first by weaker or difficult countries?

For example, if only 6 players are available maybe turkey and Italy can share the supply centers of Austria. Something like that.

gets revenge on Ghana 2-1!! oh happy days!!!

Somehow I imagine Krellin doing this.

So on the classic map I've gotten Austria a couple of times. Austria is by far the hardest country to play or win with. How exactly would someone do well with Austria?

Nice to see a US government department supporting bigotry and discrimination. For fuck's sake...

I loved the game, but I need some change to get me into it again..
Recommendations? I just want an overall upgrade essentially, but any suggestions are good.

Couldn't heart also be written as haert? It makes more sense. Or is haert pronounced more like Hay-Ert instead of Haughr-t

Silly English.....

...was awesome.

'nuff said.

Fellow WebDippers,

If you use Stylish (or userstyles in general) you can install this style that I just created to make the chatbox bigger and easier to read. It's alpha (read: feature incomplete) but if you install the Stylish browser extension you can get started with it.

I know that Russia is supposed to be one of the easier countries to play, but I never know what to do at the start of the game. What deals do you like to make? What do you think is important for Russia at the start?

Is here anybody from hungary?

A couple of weeks ago somebody started a thread along these lines. I thought that it would be rather intersting to discuss this particular point.

I've recently had something close to a breakthrough about how to approach play with different countries in Diplomacy. The short of it: The same play style *doesn't* work for every country, because some countries are designed for more proactive play, and others are designed for more reactive play.

What is the general consensus on how to approach an ally NMRing, or at least there being less than five minutes to go, and no moves reported yet? Should you stab or alter moves from the original plan assuming he or she is gone and you should take what you can before other nations? Or do you feel it is more appropriate to stick with the original plan? Follow up question: does your position change if it is an anon game?

Any interest in starting a webdip FF league?

I loved Dragon Age origins, looking for another rpg... Please help...

Three basic rules:
1. Don't do something that would get you clearly silenced or banned in another thread. There is no immunity to this thread.
2. You may only insult or be sarcastic to someone who has already posted in the thread.
3. No insult is serious. This is for fun, dammit.

hi guys i'm about to play my first diplomacy game on the american empire and i'm looking for some guidance/tactic. do you have any suggest or link I could look online?

thank you in advance

I would like to request for a new map but not just any map a map of a game series called Fallout. The map would be a little like fall of the american empire but a little smaller it would just contain usa (except Hawaii), canada and mexico. There would be 12 factions.The NCR, Caesars Legion,The Enclave,The Commonwealth,The super mutants,The Great Kahns, The Chinese remnants jackal Raiders,viper raiders and 3 brotherhood of steel texas, midwestern and capitol.

I've just had a 2 month absence from playing on the site (which for me was a long time - even if I know people leave for much longer), and I would love to return to playing some high quality games.

This might be a bit ambitious, but I am hoping for a top 50 GR game (WTA July ratings). My rating is 31. Besides the GR rating, and a classic WTA, I really don't mind phase lengths, if it is non anon or semi anon, or the point buy in.

After the EU Court of Justice ruling that companies do not need to store people's phone calls, emails and texts for 12 months, the UK parliament is rushing through a contravening law to make them do so. Discuss

Also known as Machiavelli mode.

Judging by what others at the party talked about I thought it was reasonable (although a bit more than I was going for, I really liked the wine...), but yet others seem to think it's quite too much. There were people more drunk than me, but I won't base my drinking habits on what others do..
It was the first time I 'really' drank, probably worth mentioning.

Hello all, I plan on joining my first game. I've mainly used the site to read the forums so now I need advice. Is it better to join a random pre-made game or should I request players from the forum so as to ensure it is a good game. If the latter, then if you are interested please post here. Ideally I would like to start the game next week. Anon, WTA, and a medium buy-in. Look forward to it!

Hi all. I started up a new PPSC game. Anon players. 1 day phases. It will be kicking off on Monday assuming we get enough players. If you're interested please join! Good luck! Summer Game gameID=144430
