webDip Press League

Well, I'm still waiting for a Mod to get back to me about setting the WGL and WPL up as tournaments so I don't need to go through the process of getting volunteers to create games for me. But time and the WPL waits for no Mod, so here I am asking for a volunteer to create WPL_1.1! Send me a PM so th...

Re: webDiplomacy Gunboat League R1 G1 CREATED

Wanted to post an update here.

I've emailed the Mods about making the WGL (and webDip Press League, aiming to start next weekend) official "tournaments". I haven't had a reply yet, I believe, so it's on hold for now.

Not forgotten about, though!

Re: webDiplomacy Gunboat League R1 G1 CREATED

Hmm, looks like you left the game before it started. If you check your notices: "You've left WGL_1.1 before it started, and have been returned your bet of 5D." That's what I thought. But I'm not aiming to play, just set the games up. And does that mean nobody else can see it? If you create a game a...

Re: webDiplomacy Gunboat League R1 G1 CREATED

No, I couldn't find it. I assumed it was because it put me in the game, and I removed myself. I thought that I could no longer see it because I couldn't join it?

Hmmm. If nobody can find it, I'll try again. Must've missed something...

Re: Is Turkey too powerful?

No power is "too powerful". There are trends in Diplomacy and some powers do well for a time because players tend to play in certain ways, and as a good player begins to find a good way to play one power, others take it up. What doesn't really happen is that players look for ways to prevent other po...

Hi everyone. If you're on Discord, you may have come across the Online Diplomacy Leagues server. If not, well, check it out :-D As part of the ODL, I'm looking to run a number of Leagues here on webDip, including (in case you hadn't guessed) the WGL. You don't need to sign-up, you just need to join ...

Planning a League Event

I've been thinking about running a League event later in the year - starting September, if things pan out. The idea is to have 7 rounds of games between Sept 2022 and March 2023, each round starting each month. The idea would be that players could play in one game each round, with a minimum of 3 rou...

Re: The 2022 Online Diplomacy Championship

OK, well, there are about 2/3 of the people who signed-up to the ODC who have confirmed participation. So if you're one of the people who hasn't, you need to do so! The deadline to confirm by is now 31 March. Go to the Forum, open your PMs and respond to the PM I've sent. If you don't confirm, you'r...

Re: The 2022 Online Diplomacy Championship

I've now sent out confirmation PMs on Playdip to everyone who is signed-up for ODC IV and started the list of confirmed entrants . Still taking sign-ups - and we've just hit 9 boards. If you sign-up this week , you're automatically assumed to be confirming your participation. The deadline to sign-up...

Re: Rulebook Press

Remembering that, during the Diplomacy phase in FTF Dip, you have to submit your orders is made more difficult by experienced players tying you down in lengthy conversations so that you run out of time. While this is probably true in most face-to-face games, I think that it is actually against the ...

Re: Rulebook Press

In ftf, one must think very quickly, negotiate quickly, and there is a lot more honest play and honest mistakes. The deceitful have less time to work their magic on newbies. ftf is TONS more fun. Short deadlines and rulebook press make online diplomacy a tiny bit more like ftf. I like rulebook pres...

Re: The 2022 Online Diplomacy Championship

We've got onto a potential 9th board for ODC IV now - not too shabby! A bit lower than the last two (thanks, Yonni) but still a couple of weeks to go for sign-ups - so get in there!
