Wow. The bot edited a quoted post to put its spam link in there, rather than in its own post.

This is basically their new standard now. It's very irritating :D

Do these bots actually change their orders based on press they receive, or is it essentially gunboat with bots independently spitting words out based on what they receive and the state of the board, but not actually factoring press into decision making? My limited experience so far suggests the lat...

This Discord server was set up to run Blitz Press games, which are very similar to what you're looking for: https://discord.gg/CCAdWu47W2

It's been a bit inactive, but there are 200ish people there who are interested in these kind of games, so it's a good place to look.

Going to say here, from a kinda-mod perspective, this is a cool thought experiment but if you do it in a public press game (assuming I'm understanding this correctly), you are essentially communicating privately. If you join a PPO variant game everyone is going in expecting to play a variant in whic...

Maybe you'll find some of what you're looking for here: https://webdiplomacy.net/contrib/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=37 edit: also this: https://webdiplomacy.net/contrib/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3173 RJ also made one of these specifically for FvA, it's incredibly useful: https://public.tableau.com...

Austria is favoured in standard FvA. Meta AI created a very strong bot for the variant, and as Austria it could beat top humans (and itself) upwards of 80% of the time. My general impression is that Austria is heavily favoured at low level of play, France is slightly favoured at intermediate, and Au...

If a bot trained heavily on male-skewed WebDip data and then defaults more often to masculine pronouns is that "bias" or just an accurate reflection of its training set? It's both. Bias in AI generally means it's accurately reflecting biased training data. Good AI needs to be able to work well in a...

No, these events are purely voice chat. I don't think I've ever seen anyone use a webcam in them.

It's okay grandad, we've got some lovely oil paintings for you to inspect over here

Also if I've missed any, please let me know!

Sorry for the delay on sorting this, I've been pretty busy this week. Honestly the best solution would probably just be not allowing users to post to the forum until several hours after they've signed up. These spammers only ever post directly after they sign up for the site, I imagine if they find ...

Now my watch has ended o7

So apparently now the spambots are just posting AI generated comments with no links included? I really don't get it anymore.
I'll leave that one up because it's whatever but the account itself had spam links in its bio. No clue how they expected to get clicks that way.

Fixed version... Always great to find out there are audio issues 3 hours in that I missed

New DiploStrats video is up, covering the 2023 DBNI final - which both Ezio and I agreed was the highest level gameplay we've seen in any Diplomacy game, ever. It's a bit of a long one, but hopefully worth the watch!

Just got done with wielding the banhammer, they should all be gone now. Please DM me if I missed any.

I'm unfortunately the only person who deals with these and I'm not *technically* a full forum mod so I can't see the report page. I just look around for them when the waves come in.

Moved to Politics forum.

I think we tried to add KW901 a while ago, because it really is an excellent variant: https://webdiplomacy.net/variants.php#KnownWorld_901 But we disabled it again because the 'transform' rule (if a unit is in a coastal SC, it can use its order to transform into an army/fleet) was implemented in qui...
