So much to talk about! Which countries will win which events? What is your favorite obscure sport? And how about this protesting?

It is generally understood that all people are born equal (if you disagree, please chime in) but are all people always equal? Should all people be treated the same way?

Hi All

Need a venerable sage to verify a support question. Let me know if your willing and I will show you whats going on in our private game.

I was under the impression that you couldn't retreat into an SC. Is this correct?

Here's the scenario.

Russia:
A Warsaw is supporting hold A Moscow.
A Galicia is supporting hold A Warsaw.

Austria
Silesia to Warsaw
Sev to Moscow
Ukr support Sev to Moscow.

Does the Austrian move to Warsaw break Warsaw's support or Moscow? Or since Galicia is supporting Hold Warsaw, the Warsaw support of Moscow is still valid?

I am new to phpDiplomacy, but I am quite familiar with the board game. In the board game you may not support the hold of a unit that is giving support elsewhere, but in this game it appears that the Aegean Sea supported an attack to Constantinople, and the Ionian sea supported the Aegean Sea in a hold. Are you allowed to do that in phpDiplomacy? Or am I reading it incorrectly?

Hello there. I'm new to this (but have been a fan of Risk for a long time, and am already a fan of this game!) and 6 people (including myself) JUST started a game today (all of whom go to my high school, actually!).

Now, Italy is a computer, I think, as it's name is "Civil Disorder Germany" (which I would have assumed to be Germany, and not Italy!!!), and I've noticed on same games it will say "Take Over A Country" when they are in "Civil Disorder", so, I was wondering if there was a way my friend who is late to the party could join in as Italy.

Is that possible? How does it work? He literally JUST got able to join about 3 hours after the game started (and by the looks of things these games last pretty long!). Is he out of luck?

Thank you very much for your help!

hey yall we got a new game going with the buy in 50 points

Dear all,

I have read topics on this many times, but even the most knowledgable players don't seem to be able to answer consistently.

If a game is Drawn and one player has 17 scs, one player has 10 and the remaining 2 players have 4 each how do the points get divided.

There are 3 points of view depending who you ask -

1) It would seem some people think all players get 25% of the pot (as there are 4 players left)

2) some people think all 7 original players get their points back

3) and some people think that the person with 17scs gets 17xpoints and the other players get 10pts and 4 points respectively.

could someone please tell me the correct answer, 1, 2 or 3!

Obviously option 4 is Noodlebug who believes all players in a draw should be taken outside and hung, drawn and quartered!


Cheers fellas :)

Unfortunately Brutorix and Pandora both went CD - which with the treaties that we had in place effectively ruined the game, so we've had to call it a day!! Very frustrating as it was building up nicely.

Other 3 non-CD powers will post agreement shortly.

Just thought I'd point out that Puerto Ricans may decide the next President of the United States. It's still unlikely, but with the two Democratic candidates remaining so close the Puerto Rico's electoral votes (and yes they do have them) could decide it between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. The only two states that vote later are Montana and South Dakota and Puerto Rico has almost twice as many votes as the two combined.

I just started a new game called "fun game". As it says, its a game for people who want to have fun...
The bet is only 10 points, so it is meant for beginners.
I hope to meet you soon on the battlefield!

How long have you been on this site?
How many games have you played? For myself...

Time joined: 12 Aug 07

Game played: 55 in total with one ongoing.

(there are about 20 games in which I was not the original player. I just took over those CD players, hoping to read their messages exchanged and learn from it. No surprise, most of those who went into CD do little communication, i saw turkey never sent a note to Russia and things alike..

How about you?

I know it's been done before, but which fictional characters do you think would make the best diplomacy players.

For me, I would have to nominate:
Ender and/or Bean from Orson Scott Card's series
Paul Atreides from "Dune"
Darth Revan - You'll have to be a complete Star Wars nerd to recognize this one. =)

in case you misread the title or something, i am back from florida, and ready to kick some foreign diplomat arse! (sorry, cant swear in the forum, it would set a bad example) ;-)

...when they have just allowed themselves to go cd in others?

No names, no need to point the finger directly: you know who you are.

Is it attention seeking? Or is it the equivalent of checking your mobile phone every few minutes to confirm that you are connected - you need to know that other people will play with you?

If I come across as being somewhat judgemental here, I most sincerely apologise. I should have made my position clearer: I am totally and utterly judgemental on this...

It might not be cheating but it sure ruins games as quickly as the meta-gamers.

There, rant over.

78 points. Points per Supply Center.

Positron says, "Platinum has 78 electrons."

8 minutes left!

Sign up and let´s get the game started!

I move Burgundy to Marseilles with support from Spain and Gascony. The army in Marseilles only had one support and the move didn't go! I double chech the order!

our friend guangshao continuosuly calls everyone a "communist" as if it is a kind of a bad word or if that person is the devil himself. are we still in the cold war? why communism is bad an capitalism good? is fidel castro the devil and george bush an angel of god?

tell me guang, am i blacklisted?

Dogs obviously:)

I bought into a CD France for 1D. The current phase is retreats, of which I have none to do, but there's still an (x) next to my name on the roster anyway. Any idea what gives?

Game url: http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=3439

I propose a Diplomacy game between declared supporters of capitalism and communists/non-capitalists/those not entirely crazy about capitalism. Given countries are assigned randomly, I'm not sure how it would be set up, but 3 of the powers would be the capitalists (England, France, Germany?) and the other 3 would be the non-capitalists. Italy would be in a state of anarchy or ambivalence.
