Team,
As many of you know, I'm working on a post-apocalyptic video game.

Inspired by obiwan's "Best ..... of " Threads.


Let's come up with a bunch of really bad roles that if you get them bad things will happen to you.

A towering giant in the acting field dead at 72. Most of you know him as Jaws in the Roger Moore James Bond films, but he played dozens of roles.

I'm nowhere near well enough informed to comment on whether or not that's a good idea, culturally, financially, or otherwise, so I defer to the British WebDippers--what do you think about this, yea or nay, and are you worried they'll take 12th Doctor with them if they do? (WOW is Capaldi's accent thick!) ;)

I've made a lot of games his last year and a user named 'vinnylanazzo' joined a lot of them. 'Yanik is back' 'Age of empires' and 'cats' games. Now I got suspected of metagaming so should I just not make games?

Looking at having a real cash buy-in. First, second and third places receive a cash prize, proceeds go to the site. Additional prizes for best country, and a few other notables (best stab, etc.). Maybe getting the site to put an emblem on your profile page (after all, we're paying money) for awards earned.

This has come up in another thread and I thought it was worthy of it's own thread. Has Hasbro (or Wizards) given permission to webDiplomacy?

No, it hasn't happened, but it should. After all, all he cares about is PR - wouldn't that be a great PR move?

Let’s design a new sport that minimizes the need for expensive gear and controversial refereeing. Additionally that players should not end up dead or in the hospital. What shall this sport be?

My nephew and his girlfriend are starting a business and asked me to help in the formation. Companies House (the UK organisation responsible for registering companies) just refused to register their name. Crazy Cnuts Limited, because it offends people. How offended are you?

I took over a CD in this game (Italy):
gameID=145028
but my profile indicates 0 CD taken over. How do I get credit for the good deed?

I don't seem to be able to order anything because the order all say "orders loading..." Without actually loading. Is anyone else seeing this?

So I guess tomorrow (for me as a European it will be tomorrow) Barack Obama will deliver remarks on his anti-IS strategy. (IS is this crazy islamic thing in the Levant). How far should western nations go in allying with IS' enemies, such as Assad in Syria and the Ayatollahs in Iran?

can you top that.....

If unit A supports movement to place X, but then is dislodged and movement fails leaving place X still empty, can A retreat to X? Or is it like A tried to move there itself?

So recently, I was in a game where I was able to convince someone to give me his 3 home centers, another center, and support me to 3 centers occupied by other nations in a single turn, all so that he would survive the game. I went from 11 centers to 18 all in one turn. Do I was curious, what's the most supply centers everyone has captured in a turn. It would be difficult to do more than 9 I think, but I guess not impossible?

Mostly for live games... a beep or ring when a game processes would be super useful. Is it possible?

I'm pretty new to the site and intrigued by the "live" 5 min cycle games. Are they literally 5 minute rounds or is there a lot of pausing? Do people communicate over the messaging system during them? In general, how long of a block of time do you need to set aside to play in them? Thanks in advance, any advice is appreciated.

Who's playing it, how is it and should I get the PS4 or the XBOX 1 to play it?

There are a number of 'vintage' Diplomacy board games on the market. When playing F2F, which do you prefer, wood or plastic? And why.

Is there a way to play so that...

If you are, teach me this - http://www.scribd.com/doc/48706422/Scott-D-Davis-Hotel-California

I don’t have kids, and I was just about out of college when the Internet struck (collecting my first paychecks elsewhere as Netscape went public in 1995), so I have never had any experience with what The Internet has done to education. Do students bother learning facts anymore? Is Google everyone’s external brain? Does anyone know anything? Is everyone a plagiarist? What gives?

I'm looking for a new game, and after my last exasperating experience playing with the general population (a full-press game where nobody talked, I got teamed up on by my neighbors but still survived to the SIX-way draw) I'm looking for some new players. I think it would be fun to try and play with some people that fall into the age group of 30+. Aside from full-press with 2- or 3-day phases, I'd be open to any other combination of settings. Any takers?

Cats in America have to diplomacise like cats in any other country

Much Multi blood has been spilled this night. For the next 3 days I will reimburse anyone who takes over an open spot in a game. However make sure to check the game messages first since some are scheduled to be cancelled tomorrow.

To love and hate it.......

I have the hardest time with gunboat....not to be able to cry out at the obvious, kills me.
