Caricatures - Public Press game
This was one that we did a while back and I thought it was fun. A public press game where everyone assumes a stereotypical accent.

ie Austria-Hungary types like John Cleese in the phrase book skit "EYE vill nut boiy dis record, it is skretched".

Speak if you guys want. I know my first comment is: I have no idea how the hell I made this happen by pissing off all 3 of my initial enemies. This is a perfect example of how you CAN make something happen without allies...lol

no messaging games are not diplomacy
diplomacy is the art and practice of conducting negotiations between representatives of groups or states. you cant do that without contact. so why the hell are there so many anon no messaging games these days?

Do You Hear the People Sing...Egypt Sung For *This?*
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-egypt-court-elections-20120615,0,511695.story
LA Times, BBC News, and other outlets reporting Egypt's parliament has been dissolved by their high court while keeping a Mubarak supporter on the ballot for the Presidential Election. Thoughts?

pretending to CD
Ive tried this in a recent gunboat game, and it actually ended up working out fairly well. Is pretending to CD a valid strategy?

Apples and oranges
I've seen a number of discussions on the forums recently comparing two positions or ideas that are too different to reach a valid conclusion about which is better. Since invalid comparisons are in vogue right now, I thought we might discuss the classic: apples vs oranges. Go!

For debate: When is a gunboat not really a gunboat?
Hey gang: I accidentally clicked onto a gunboat game and now have no real way of backing out. Others are not really being acquiescent about a Cancel, so it looks like I'm (more or less) stuck. So instead, I'm setting up this thread as a potential discussion spot for gameID=91706. If players are talking here, is it still gunboat?

Question for the Top 100 Players
I was bored and looking through your player information pages while going through the Top 100, and I noticed that most of you have your P/W/D/S/D stats for each country posted. Is there a reason for that?
Tru Ninja (1016 D(S))
13 Jun 12 UTC
Yes. Its called pride. I have those same stats and more stored on my flash drive but I dont post them publicly because they can be used against me.
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
13 Jun 12 UTC
Yeah, and some of us don't post them because it is prideful or non-relevant. I used to keep track of my stat for each country (here and facebook), but mainly for statistical and learning purposes. I wanted to see where my strengths are and where I tend to blunder.

This is quickly turning into a mod circle.
Now we just need a few other mods to chime in.
Please do not post here unless you are the OP or a mod or have been added to my list of pre-approved participants. I'm a mod diva and I know it. You may call me MadMod. :-)

By the way, how many old mods still have access to their mod/admin powers?

I was just wondering if it was for convenience, so players can see your stats at a glance without digging through your finished games list.

But it seems irrelevant if you stick to anonymous games.

ghug (5068 D(B))
14 Jun 12 UTC
I kept full stats there for a while, partially out of pride, and partially out of interest in self analysis combined with ease of access, but I started to lose track of survives/defeats due to not noticing games ending and changed it to just win/draw. I may have to make it just wins or take it off soon.
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))

I keep my wins up so I can laugh at how bad I am as Austria.
Yonni (136 D(S))
14 Jun 12 UTC
With playing only non-live FP games, it doesn't accumulate that quickly so tracking your record only takes updating one or two games a month.

Stats just always appeal to the common nerd which I imagine includes many webDip players.
ghug (5068 D(B))
14 Jun 12 UTC
@Yonni, you play significantly fewer games than I do.
I tried for a while. Then I stopped for a few months and now I'm at 388 finished games and haven't got a damn clue how to find the hours I'd need to record everything. lol.

I could probably ask Vaft to pull them up though, maybe.
Yonni (136 D(S))
14 Jun 12 UTC
@ghug, aren't most of yours GB?
I really can't keep up more than 3 FP games at once...
Rancher (1652 D(S))

Pres is right, I can't even begin to get together the time for such stats, and the stats for this site would pale to my life stats as I have played regularly since 1980
MadMarx (36299 D(G))

I don't do it as I don't want people to know I have yet to win as Italy, extremely shameful...

Actually, I don't care too much about that stuff, which is probably why SplitDip... Oh, nevermind, I'm mixing up threads here...
ghug (5068 D(B))
14 Jun 12 UTC
@Yonni, there was a point a few weeks ago where I was playing 16 games: 9 gunboat, 2 public press, and 5 full press. As public press requires about the same time commitment as full press, that's 7 games at once. There was another point where I was playing 8 games, all of them full press.

@MM, I haven't won with Italy or Turkey yet, it is really embarrassing.
LanGaidin (1509 D)
14 Jun 12 UTC
@MM... I've got a whoppoing 7 wins under my belt, and unless it's one per country, then I think you've already hit a mark that will forever evade me (i.e. winning as 6 diff. countries) =)

Getting a solo in WTA is a difficult endeavor if the rest of the board has any mettle to them.
achillies27 (100 D)
14 Jun 12 UTC
@ghug... I am currently in 11 full press games, 2 of which are public press... 3 gunboats.
2 of my full press are 7 day phases though.
Yonni (136 D(S))
14 Jun 12 UTC
Jesus. Not sure how you guys do it. I already spend an uncomfortable amount of time on this site and I only have two 2day/phase FP games going...

Fortress Door (1837 D)

I used to be in a lot more games.... then i started getting points and decided i want to keep them for a bit :p. So, i am not joining any more non-live games until all of my current ones (except for the seven day public press one)

i think my record was in 9 full press games... only stopped so i could have points for live games :D

achillies27 (100 D)
14 Jun 12 UTC
Meh, I don't care about points... as long as I can get into the games I want.
Fortress Door (1837 D)
14 Jun 12 UTC
^ the main reason i want the points is so i brag to my few close webdip friends how many more points i have then them :p
Fortress Door (1837 D)

oh, and my game count does not include the full press ones i am in on vdip... i think the number is over 10 all together

Kochevnik (1160 D)
14 Jun 12 UTC
I haven't won as Italy on webdip either, though I wouldn't have known that if I didn't go back and look at them all. I did once (not on this site) get a 17-17 draw as Italy with Austria, which is one of my favorite outcomes in a game I've played as it can be difficult to make that happen.
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))
14 Jun 12 UTC
I used to play in around 5-6 games at once but then I got burnt out. I go through phases of playing a lot to playing very little. I'm currently in the very little stage, recharging my batteries.
