Three way draw awards 100 GR player 1/3 of 60 = 20, minus his/her contribution of 5.714286 to the GR pot, for a net increase in GR of 54.285714

I would expect a net increase of 20 - 5.71 = 14.29

If it is a press game, I don't see the harm as long as twitch followers aren't suggesting moves. Why so? My first instinct is exactly the other way round. In a gunboat game there's no press to show, so no information leaks; in a press game the rule could be not to show private, one-to-one press (pu...

Yes. Unfortunately it had a few incompatibilies with the site so it was removed. However I believe you can find it (and a lot of other variants) on our sister site, vDiplomacy

I was just pointing out that the feeling of discomfort is by design, not an unintended side effect. Honestly I'm not worried of not being respectful to women myself, or to people that happens to be somehow discriminated for any reasons. And I can agree that discomfort is by design. What I tried to ...

You will be messed, be well.

Brilliant pun by Darg, as usual. But Zultar will be missed, and we will be messed.

Thanks for everything Zultar, buona vita

I always feel a bit uncomfortable when I think women should be respected for the remaining 364 days of the year far more than they actually are, not just today.
That said, I'm happy to join Jamie and give my Best Wishes to All Women here and everywhere

I don't think it will happen - the bots are neural networks which need to be trained by being fed with lots of games before they can play a variant; and they were developed by AI researchers who are mainly interested in how well the bots "learn" and perform, not in playing Diplomacy in itself

Oh, and I'd like to take this opportunity to say that I think Jamie can be fundamentally wrong on any subject; only, just a tiny bit less wrong than Octavious

You definitely should

Sardinia and Corsica do not touch: there's the Strait of Bonifacio (Bocche di Bonifacio) in between, so Tyrrhenian Sea and Gulf of Lyons are connected in reality. However the strait is just 11 kms wide, so on a small map it can be barely visible.

Happy New Year folks! It's been a while since I've been on, but if there's still space on a game, a New Year Gunboat sounds tempting! Pretty relaxed about settings - longer phases are probably preferable for me to avoid being on it all the time... Let me know! Thanks! One of the seven who signed st...

Still one player missing...

Since we're seven I created the game:

Same parameters as the first one, sending the code by PM

No, you can't help dislodge yourself. If you check under Help | More info | DATC you will find it as case 6.D.12.
However in your specific example I believe you may cut one of your enemies support (with a different unit, not the one being attacked, of course), and then the other enemy would succeed.

Games with an invitation code are usually games between friends so if you don't know them joining may not be the best choice / the group may not want to allow strangers in. You may try posting a request for the password here or on our Discord sever, just in case they have some issues reaching the re...

Bump.
This may become the Chinese New Year Gunboat (Jan 22)

Weird, yes. I opened the game and I see everything beige too

So we should be at five, if I'm not wrong

1. Jamie
2. HB
3. gimix
4. UnknownHero
5. 2ndWhiteLine
6.
7.

Well if there are some more latecomers we may put up a second game. Jamie and HB would you be in?
