- Games being force processed in New Variant Gunboat Series
Although we started the games in the New Variant Gunboat Series with the now defunct rule of wait mode, some people have completely taken advantage of it. I am advancing the games that are overdue by at least 5 days tomorrow night. If you want to make your moves, please do so now. Thanks. :
- So how did you read the press, Trip?
I'm just wondering how you were able to read the press in a game that does not have public press. Obviously, my comment hit home that you were friends with one of the players involved. :
- New Varient Gunboat Series
Since we have two new variants, neither of which I've played, I want to figure them out. What better, and faster way, then by gunboat. I'm looking for 9 other people who want to play both variants, Fall of the American Empire IV and Modern Diplomacy II, at a total of 10 games apiece. 5 point bet and 1 day turns. It will cost a total of 100 , but we can really get some keen insight into these maps this way. Post below if you want in. :
- Who do you know in RL?
Many of us know other players in RL. In fairness and for full disclosure, please reveal who you know. Thanks. Oh, BTW, I don't know any of you in RL. :
- Threads/Replys are very wrong
I was looking at someone's profile a while ago to see what they had posted about a subject and it seems that the threads/replys on our profiles are missing threads from the past month. Am I seeing this wrong, or is there some problem here? :
- International muting week
More inside. :
- Tired of the bitching - lets play gunboat
Ok, I am officially tired of the bitching and accusations. Lets play. 101 point gunboat game. WTA. Anon. 1 day phases. PM me for the password. Really looking for good (read: readies up) players that know what the hell they are doing. Come on. Teach me a lesson! The usual suspects NEED apply. :
- I can't wait to find out who these morons are
More to come. :
- Blankflag - Spammer or Troll
I have seen him described both ways on this forum. We have to come up with one, simple way to describe that which is blank. Spammer or Troll? Who ya got? :
- Gunboat for people with a brain
gameID=115165 Since HumanWave has complained about his gunboat games, I've decided to set him up with a good one. Of course, he is invited. And I hope that Split and The Czech will join. I'm sending all three of you the password. If anyone else that is good wants in, just PM me. I will post the player list before we start. :
- New, fun drinking game
New drinking game everyone! Every time blank says some form of the word "elite," you take a drink. I plan on being absolutely hammered before nightfall. Whose with me? :
- Another Global warming study?

Just to see how many forum members' heads will explode. :
- Holy Grail or Life of Brian
Both great movies. Both with classic lines. My money is on Life of Brian. Who ya got? :
- Horrific leg fracture
DO NOT click this link if you are squeamish. Ware from Louisville, playing against Duke today, completely broke his leg in half. It is horrific.

- Happy Easter
Even if you don't celebrate it. Have a great day. :
- Conspiracy Theories are everywhere!
Lets start with a definition. Conspiracy Theory - A theory seeking to explain a disputed case or matter as a plot by a secret group or alliance rather than an individual or isolated act.
More to come. :
- Procedural Question
Lets say that someone wants to start a tournament. And in the tournament, the mods would have to get involved by making sure that every one of the 7 players played 7 different countries. What is the proper procedure? Do we ask the mods in advance? I'm guessing yes. If so, then how long in advance? Or is this something that is not acceptable? Thanks in advance. :
- The mods rock
Although I can't get into details until the investigation is complete, I just want to say that I am thoroughly impressed by the mods on this site. I know that many of us, me included, will bust their chops, but they are a great group that take care of business. Thanks! :
- EOG - You, me ... and TANKS!-3
Well...Germany royally screwed up what was setting up to be a great game by leaving. :
- Why full press live games?
I've seen a lot of live games advertised that are 5 minute phases that, once I click on them, are full press. Why? I find it hard enough to get in gunboat orders in 5 minutes once the game gets going. What is the draw to such a game? :
- Fast Europe 25 EOG
Crappppp! Good game, guys. I really screwed up a few orders there in the last few years, but you kept me from getting the solo. :
- Real Science! The Higgs Boson confirmed
Since we are talking science today, I've noticed that no one has jumped on the announcement that the Higgs Boson was confirmed today. Although it has been suspected for decades, actually finding the particle that possibly gives everything its mass is a huge announcement. :
- What this site really needs
When I hear the ramblings of some people on this forum, it occurs to me that we could add something that, I think, wouldn't be very difficult and, at the same time, be very useful. In short, we need a -1 option. That way, some of the lunatics could really see how we feel about them. Then maybe, once you hit a predetermined number, -10 or -100 or whatever, you are temporarily banned from posting your bullshit. :
- EOG for Bored on Saturday Game
Well...congratulations Gen Lee. You played a great game.
As for ukulelemike...I can't understand how you could just give that game away. And you did give that game away. Actively. :
- Gunboat Question
I know that you can't talk about an ongoing gunboat game, so please don't start off by telling me "there is no talking about gunboat in the forum." I got it. :
- Brand new stupid question of the day
I've been looking back on some of my previous games and I see that there are several people who I've played with that have a big red x next to their names. Is it safe to assume that these players were banned for something? Or am I completely wrong on this? :
- Overall results by country
Does anyone know where or how to look for overall results of Dip games by varient (full press vs. gunboat) and country? Just looking for some data. :
- I love mute thread!
Since I have been gone for 2 years, many things have changed. The thing that I LOVE is the option to mute threads. Not that everything the people on this site say isn't fascinating, but it sure helps me clean up things and get to the threads that I am really interested in. Whoever came up with this idea...+1. :
- Lost a player due to stupidity
I know that you are not supposed to talk about an anonymous game, but gameID=109945 is just starting S1902 and we lost Austria to being a multi. Looking for a replacement. Please jump in. Thanks. :
- Best browser for webdip on Macs
I am running OSX Lion on several macs in my house and continuously drop connection to the web dip server. I go to refresh a page or move to another and I just watch the pinwheel spin and eventually tell me that Google Chrome cannot connect to the server. I have tried both Safari and Firefox with no better results. Is this a browser problem, or do I have to change some settings? Should I change browsers? Help! :
- Gunboat me - Good game guys
Well that was a pretty good game for my first one back in a few years. Thanks a lot. :
- JimGov is back!
OK, most of you have no idea who I am, but I've been away for a few years and am interested in getting back into the whole Dip scene. Of those of you who remember me, a few may actually have liked me. So...look for me in a game near you soon. :
- New gunboat game for the usual suspects
I've run into too many questionable gunboat players lately, so this one is password protected. If you are one of the usual suspects that plays the right way, let me know below and I will PM you the password. 5 min, 40 , WTA, anon gameID=26464 :

WTA, anon, 35 , 5 min phases. Starts in 30. gameID=25865 :
- New ghost rankings question
Under the new ghost rankings thread, ghost said that gunboats, public press, and variants are included but weighted less. Without all of the calculus involved to make heads or tails of the rankings, can we get an approximate percentage of what they count? Like regular is 100%, while public press and gunboats count 50% and variants are 25%? Just so that I can get my head around the rankings. :
- What is up with the auto disbands?
gameID=23372 Autumn 1905. Russia does not issue a disband and his unit in MOSCOW is destroyed instead of a F in Black Sea or an A in Galacia. According to the FAQ "It's the furthest from your home supply centers," that is destroyed. This is not the first time this has happened in a game I have played in. What is going on? :
- Anyone up for a gunboat?
Looking for some of the regulars who want to pull one off. If enough say yes, I will hook us up. :

- Idea for mod communication
I know that, for the World Cup, we are having all kinds of trouble getting people to respond to their emails and PMs, causing all kinds of waiting. And I know that the mods have to try to get with people here and there about different things. :
- Anyone up for a gunboat?

All of this talk about play diplomacy led me back to their site. I was poking around the forums, and found something that we could use here. :

- Player point list
Is there anywhere that a list exists showing all of the site's players listed by number of points they have? Kind of like the ghost rankings, but for points? :
- That odd point in a draw
When a draw occurs and an odd point is left over (3 way for 70 for ex), where does it go? Does the player with the highest SC count get it? Does it just disappear into the great unknown? :

- Survival question
I have noticed that, at the end of games, after the notice pops up about who won the game, that the final disposition of the other powers finalizes. Often, one power is eliminated at the same time as the game is won. It shows 0 SCs and 1 unit, for example, yet it says that this person survived. :

- Question about open games
I have been in many games in the past few weeks where a player or two (or three) went missing. Rarely has anyone jumped in and taken over the power. I was wondering, What are the percentages of a game getting a player to jump in after a country has gone CD? :

- What is a process cycle?
I have been jumping into some live games and when 7 players join the "game will start on next process cycle" notice comes up. Usually this is no big deal. I just jumped into one that doesn't start for 1:35. When does the process cycle come up? :

- Game stats question
I know that this is a minor point, but why are defeats listed first in your game stats? I think that it is more natural to go wins, draws, survivals, and then losses. Mind you, I am not asking anyone to go out on their own valuable time and change this. I am just wondering why its done this way. :
- Forming a Southeast US World Cup team
Anyone want to join? I don't care about your GR or any such nonsense. Just that you've played for years and know what you are doing. Sign up here. :
- World Cup?
I am new to the site, but have played for ever. I used to play in the Worldmasters email tournament, but I can't find it anywhere. Is this what has become the world cup? Or is it something completely different? And how do you get involved? :
