Some details inside.

So I'm thinking about making a live world game but with 10-15 minutes phases. Right now I want to see who would join, it would be some time tomorrow around 6:00 C/T. Anyone considering it?

How much rubbish do people talk about Islam, I sometimes wonder if some people on here have any Muslim friends at all. Please share your most ridiculous Islamophobic stories

This crazy Dutch kid just grabbed me and made me sit in a wheelchair. He looked pretty crazy and I figured he was suffering from an overdose of earth radiation so I didn't resist. He then proceeded to run 25km over some very bumpy terrain, with me in the chair, despite my increasingly vocal protestation.

Priceless:

It's one of those crazy thoughts I had. I figured I'd at least get myself informed. I'm now allowed to try it according to the council that matters, although I'd be forced to start in the back and stuff like that.
So I already have the green light in the bank, but can I even do this? Finishing time registration ends after 3 hours, so I guess I'd really want to run it within 3 hours. Possible?

Our game was cancelled and I don't know who would be interested in forming a new one. I would be, and if I remember correctly ckroberts and A_Tin_Can were both up for it as well. Please post here if you want to join. I know we'll be looking for at least one replacement for the new game as well. 100 point, full press, anon, 3-day phases, WTA.

I really like coleslaw. Do you?

As this is an English language website can we not all try and spell the words correctly .... if you wanna use it then don't abuse it

Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm ChrisB. Originally from the great Commonwealth of Virginia, I've lived all over the US and spent years outside the US in government field offices. I'm in my late 60s and have loved Diplomacy for a long time.

Boy, do I have a game for you! If you're like me, you know that you have a devastating potential but can't find a ton of time to play daily. With this game, you can kill people every two days without having to speak to the other wieners in the game with you. So what are you waiting for? Join this game.*

*I am not responsible for anyone joining that I know in real life or not, as this is a game that I am only advertising online.

I promise we (friend & family) are all competitive. Willing to make anon to ensure a good game. WTA 24 hrs 30 pts.

I need 6 more people to fill the game.

Quick guys - can someone give me a summary of Tess of the D'Ubervilles??? I need to have it read by next period (1:05) and sparknotes is blocked on the school computers.
Plz help guys???

While planning for the webDip F2F Tournament next Summer, some locals expressed interest in a tournament this Fall. I'm planning on hosting a new F2F Tournament, the Boroughs, this October. This is not the official webDip tournament, but ya'll are welcome to come. Details will be updated in this thread and here: https://sites.google.com/site/boroughsdiplomacy/home

Interesting topic on the Japanese and the desire/pressure for conformity and social cohesion, "Follow the rules. Don't be selfish. The nail that sticks out gets hammered down."

I'm looking for quality players to play a game of gunboat with me. (Sorry for the letdown and the bad pun.) Need 4 more.

25 hours, 20 point buy-in, Classic map, Anon Gunboat.

Can anyone explain to me why Tyrolia wasn't able to push into Piedmont with these moves? How was the support from Venice broken?

I will start taking signups for the tournament. Here's how it will be different:

There will be a cash buy-in. The amount depends on the number of people that can commit (and buy-in) to the tourney. If I can get at least 25 players, the buy-in is $10. This would allow me to use the proceeds to purchase plaques for the top 3 places and best country awards. The remainder ($50-$100) would go to the site as a donation for allowing us to put together this tournament.

Is there a way for me to check old PMs?

Any comers to a new game entitled "Autumn of Glory," with the extremely cheap buy-in of only ten points are more than welcome as long as you are willing to and intend to play the game.
Details below.....

To get a new game. Anon, WTA, buyin >100.

I feel like writing a ditty on ISIS to the song Cool for Cats by Squeeze but I thought maybe if I put the original words some smarty pants can work their genius.....

So, I joined VDip, having heard there are some great players there, and some great play to be had.

So.. why do people put a gray check (orders saved, not ready) in gunboat games? There is no press to be exchanged, so you're not waiting on others. In press games, sometimes people sync the phases with their real life schedule, but even that doesn't work here - it's just 5 minutes every x hours, and you agreed to a specific x.
