Re: Nexus Leagues

I asked at Nexus Discord: “ What is the relationship between Nexus and the different online Dip platforms? Is Nexus primarily aligned with Backstabbr, or are all the platforms supported?” Pyxxy replied: “ Initially we would also host games on Webdip but now we only run on Backstabbr for the relative...

Non-moderators can post Announcements

The description of the Announcements sub forum states, “Site announcements from the moderator team go here.”

Non-moderators such as myself are able to post in the Announcements sub forum.

Re: Announcements should only be posted by moderators

I just noticed the description of this sub forum is “ Site announcements from the moderator team go here.” That makes this issue a bug, not a feature! I’ll submit a report. I couldn’t remember my old username before I created this account. I’ll disclose the relationship and promise not to use the ol...

Re: Announcements should only be posted by moderators

I guess it comes down to whether or not the purpose of the forum is to support WebDip gameplay and grow the community of Diplomacy players. I would argue that this forum is distracted/distracting from that purpose in a variety of ways. Personally, I prefer this platform and think it’s a shame that t...

I’m in a race with the makers of PP sauce cups to deface this forum. Right now we’re neck-and-neck. ;-)

Re: Announcements should only be posted by moderators

This is my point. I’m a knucklehead noob and here I am taking over the top of the “Announcements” forum, where most people expect to find official announcements and, like me, read it to get a gauge on what is officially transpiring in a community. I came here after seeing the news about Meta’s AI be...

Announcements should only be posted by moderators

Only moderators should be authorized to post announcements and the comments should be closed to keep it clean. Discussion about announcements should take place in a forum. This keeps announcements in chronological order.

Need fresh announcements at top of forum

I'm new to this community, and one of the first things I see is the announcement of the resignation of a longtime high ranking member of the community.

Not a good look for new people.

How do I get invitation code?

There’s a game that I am interested in joining, but it requires an invitation code. How do I go about getting an invite code?

What is the status of this community?

I get the impression that activity level is low. Are there very many diehards still around? I’m enjoying practicing with bot games. Interested in moving on to humans.
