I know one of these already exists - what happened to it? There are a ton of new members here that never had a chance to join that group.

I'm happy to make a new one if anyone is interested. The old one seems pretty dead.

Recent article on an interesting site: http://waitbutwhy.com/table/modern-era-will-universally-known-year-4015
Between that and our current "Greatest Person in History" tournamet, I'm really interested in the legacy of our era, and the people from it. So, who from our modern era (1700s - 2000s) do you think will still be remembered 2000 years from now? And what do you think our generation (if remembered) will be known for?

I'll be hosting the Boroughs (now a part of the Nor'Easter Circuit--Yay!) again in Marlborough, Mass. I will also be hosting the 2nd webDip F2F at the same time. We need a new date for the tournament, though. Sometime between Aug-Oct. What are people's thoughts?

I'm trying to impress a girl. She the type that really appreciates a good pun. Post your best cheesy punny pick up lines here.

Hey all,
So as you may have heard there's a new Diplomacy Zine coming out, The Velvet Glove (http://thevelvetglovecont.wix.com/the-velvet-glove). I'm the Hobby Info Editor and am looking for information on tournaments, online resources etc. Obviously, I have a pretty good idea what's going on this site, but if you know of something happening and you want to be sure it makes it into the first issue, please email me at [email protected]. Please put "TVG" in the subject line.

Come join Gunboat2 quick game!

I think some of those examples are good, some flawed...but it's definitely an idea worth discussing and hashing out, so, discuss.

I need new games. Haven't had a Fall of Americas game or Modern II in a while and am looking for some trustworthy fellow gunboaters.

Anyone interested in playing Turkey here?

Wouldn't it be an interesting shakeup to add an air force unit to Diplomacy? It seems that it would add more realism to the game. Potentially, it could cost 2 build units and fly over any territory just like any other unit, but not occupy it. Therefore, you could have a fleet and an air unit in the same space. It wouldn't be able to take territory, only support other units. Additionally, it could support hold the territory it flies over, but not actually defend the territory.

I'm re-introducing a friend to WebDiplomacy and I'm looking for people to whoop his ass and prove that we have a high standard of play here :-)

Game is simple: 36h / WTA / 10 .

New World Order is a wild diplomacy ride. The GM has about 30 players but needs a few more to start. Here's the announcement at Redscape: http://www.redscape.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=2801

To join, you can PM Sendric at VDip or Redscape (he is not a member here) or PM me with an email address & I'll pass it on.

Wooo hello all. So I've created a game with 24hr pre game. All six players have now joined. How can I get the game to autostart now?

What do you all think of homeschooling? Is it good or bad? What is public opinion? How does it differ in other countries (to our foreign members)?

The North Sea has 11 territories surrounding it, the most of any. The maximum battle to take it would be 7 strength vs 5 strength. Anyone have a huge battle waged over North Sea?

I know, a simple safety catch might have saved a lige... OR a simple better wording of the constitution...

SEC is 5-5 in the bowls while 2-5 against ranked opponents. How is ESPN going to spin its way out of this one?

I just recently watched an episode of Boston Legal where there was a lawyer from a "Pro-Ana" (that's pro-anorexia) organisation. I thought it was a fictional movement conjured up by writers, but it's apparently real.

Makes me wonder what we use as anchors in dip, is it an opening offer or past history of moves?

Cast your votes, ladies and gentlemen of webDiplomacy. Who is getting in this year? Is Alan Trammell going to drop off even though he deserves entrance? Will Tim Raines finally get in? Edgar Martinez? Jeff Kent? Mike Mussina? Does Craig Biggio get the .2% he needs?
