Mods please investigate
I reported the following game http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=33245#gamePanel about two weeks ago and there has been no response. Apologies if this is. In the wrong place but if someone could point me in the right direction I would be most grateful.

Cheers

Please explain the map for me
I'm new to the site, but i've been a diplomacy player for a few months. I'm having trouble understanding the order history, such as the red lines, and x's. Can sombody explain to me exactly what is what?

Also, how do you know if a unit is yours? They're all the same color. :/

Bump.

First, the units: some of them have colored squares behind them. The squares signify the country that the units are.

If it DOESN'T have a colored square behind it, the square is the same color as the territory it's on. So, for example, in Spring 1901, every unit is on its own territory, so none of them have squares.

JWD is right, but I'm going to spell this out anyway for a second explanation if you don't understand the first.

OK, the order description on the map is a little confusing. First, you should know that the orders are avaliable in text form if you scroll below the players list and click "Orders". This clears up a lot of ambiguities; for example, cut support is not shown on the map, and you might want to know what it was supporting.

The units are displayed where they end up being, and the arrows signify the orders. A red arrow is a simple move: If the move succeeded (for example, A Mun -> Boh), you would see a red arrow pointing from Munich to Bohemia BEHIND a unit in Bohemia. If the move failed, you would see a red arrow pointing from Munich to Bohemia, but the unit would be in Munich and the arrow would have an X on it.

Suppose that you have A Mun -> Boh, and also A Vie -> Boh. Then there are TWO red arrows with X'es in them pointing at Bohemia, but the units stay in the corresponding spaces.

Support hold is a green cross, with the cross end at the unit supported and the stick end at the unit supporting. If two units support each other it's a double-cross.

Support move is a yellow line, pointing from the supporting unit to the supported move's red arrow.

Convoy is only shown if the move succeeds, but it's a blue line from the ship to the army arrow. (Sometimes the red army arrows are confusing; if you convoy from London to Gascony via ENG and MAO, the red arrow will cut through France even though the army goes around. This is just something you have to get used to.)

Retreats are shown with purple lines, and disbanded/built units have an explosion/star by them to signify that.

And you should also check the large map as some offered but not used supports and other orders will sometimes be removed from the small map.

Calling Female Diplomats
Greetings. I recently got into a discussion with a friend about why Diplomacy (and many other strategy games, for that matter) are primarily played by men. I have yet to meet another female who actively plays this game other than myself, and would like to hear your thoughts on the subject. Men are welcome to post as well.

How about a nice game of chess?


The rules:
Post your move in standard chess notation. You must wait at least three moves before posting again(ie: if you move as white, someone else has to move as white before you can move again). Illegal moves don't count; stupid ones do

Jesus fuck, I am in the worst goddam gunboat ever
Russia quits when they are the largest power on the board. Austria's a total moron who has completely ignored the growth of a huge Turkey in order to persist in attacking Italy, and England is getting gutted like a sea bass because he wants to attack France and Germany simultaneously, while they're attacking each other. Yecch, this game sucks.
