What's up with 5 and 6 player draws?
Looking at results of finished games I see a fair number of those, and I don't get it. Why not just keep playing? Or if someone CDed, why not cancel instead? With that many players, I just can't imagine a situation where no one has the chance to expand further.

I just got too captchas from the same site. one was "plz help" and the other was "iAmReal". Is there some kind of innocuous reason for this? or should I organize a search party or something.

Who Am I And Who's Line Is It Anyway?
Ask "yes or no" questions until the identity is guessed, and then the person who guesses correctly takles on an identity and the guessing game begins again (if you're still unclear, look to the title for guidance on how to play this.)

Now, are you ready? (If I said "You Bet Your Life I am!" that'd be too easy to start, huh? OK, I'm thinking of a person...OK, I'm from a play...) ;)

@Bob: That's unfortunate. I guess we'll play some other time then.

@joey: Less then 50 isn't very likely. It will probably be somewhere in the 100-200 league (assuming Draugnar wins a couple of points soon). Or it's going to be 250+, so Babak will play.
pastoralan (100 D)
21 Mar 11 UTC
I'll probably join in even if the point total is higher; I'll just regret doing so.
Look at the bright side: 250 D is something you can win in one evening if you get lucky in a gunboat, whereas the total pot size of 1750 is a considerable prize.
Babak (26982 D(B))
21 Mar 11 UTC
bas... thanks for putting the effort into this. I know i'm in a somewhat unique situation with points, but in all honesty, I've been trying to stay in 500+ point games because players seem to take them more seriously...

I'm fine with 250... or maybe even 200 here to let your invitees be able to play, but I think it would be nice to get a bigger pot... the game will be that much more exciting.

as for the anon thing... though I fully understand what Draug is talking about, I can't join a non-anon game. people often play to pre-conceptions and people also tend to make judgements based on what they've read... all that on top of the already big target on the back of someone with more points makes a non-anon game particularly dangerous for me - both in terms of enjoying the game and GR-hunting which occurs in such circumstances.

if you have enough replacements, I'm ok with bowing out guys, so please dont force everyone to play games with parameters they dont want just to accommodate me.

as for time, i'd be completely fine with 48 hours as well.
pastoralan (100 D)
21 Mar 11 UTC
I'd suggest that Babak is playing at a different level than the rest of the invitees. Perhaps it doesn't make sense to have one top player and six fairly good ones.
☺ (1304 D)
21 Mar 11 UTC
Well that's kind of insulting alan. I don't think Babak is particularly better than everyone else in the WebDip community - perhaps he's just been around longer and has played more games.
Draugnar (0 DX)
21 Mar 11 UTC
I'm in the leagues so 50 D is my max. I'll do anon, though.
Ebay (966 D)
21 Mar 11 UTC
My games are dwindling down as well and I was thinking of starting up a game soon so this one is fine with me. I like the player list. I'm up for any pot size up to 300. I prefer 36 hours as Sundays are sometimes a problem for me. WTA for sure.

How the hell does Italy own Moscow in 1903?
Ebay (966 D)
21 Mar 11 UTC
Very cleverly.
Yes, that was an epic game, and a very cool opening from Bob genghiskhan. He moved Ven-Tyr-Boh-Sil-War-Mos without any delays. Did I mention it was spring 1903?

Ebay, I'm happy you also want to play.

The way I see it, the best thing would be to create a game with a pot size of 250, 48 hours, and anonymous. We can get ☺, Babak, Baskineli, Ebay, pastoralan, myself and Sargmacher. This looks like a very strong field. A great mix between established players and upcoming talents.

Pastoralan, are you okay with a 250 pot size?

Draugnar, it's a pity I can't have you in this one. But if your max is 50 D, I can't squeeze you in along with the high-rollers. Perhaps we can start another, low-pot game sometime?
PS. Given the reservations people have with betting this amount of points, I think this game will be taken seriously indeed.

President Eden will is Austria and if you are turkey build up your hopes, smash them, then build them up again. then smash them, then do it again and again. and i don't even know how he did it!
Pres. Eden will not play, unfortunately.

The list is:
Baskineli, Ebay, Babak, basvanopheusden, Sargmacher, Pastoralan, ☺.

Specifics:
Full press, WTA, 48 hours, anon, 250 D/player.

I'll create the game, and PM you with the password.

If you have an hour or so, take it an play this game. It is a marvel of storytelling and conception, and quite thought provoking, the beginning is quite frustrating, but check the walk through to help you, the story is worth the time and effort, I promise.

Turkish response to a Western Triple
Lately, I have come across several Western Triple games.
In many of these, Turkey is aiding the R/I/T Counter-alliance that try to oppose the Western Triple.
I always thought that Turkey should take advantage on a Triple, and gobble his eastern neighbours for all he is worth.... What do you think?

Since diplomacy players are naturally smart...
Can anyone explain to me in practical terms why anything raised to the power of zero is equal to one? I understand that it's very convenient for algebraic reasons, and I kind of understand the logic and reasoning behind it, but I still can't get rid of the idea that, since 2^5 is defined as 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2, that 2^0 should have no definition because there are no numbers actually involved in it. I would have thought that it would fall into the category of zero denominators as non-real...

Can a Mod please check into the game? Austria's internet went down and he NMR'd, throwing the game to France. Any way we can have some sort of rewind or do-over? If this was an ordinary game, then oh well, shit happens. But this is supposed to be the Championship Tournament. Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
