Re: Known World 901 (15 Players)

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

Re: International Women's Day

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 ...

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

Thanks for everything Zultar, buona vita

Re: International Women's Day

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

Re: Fill empty slots with bots - Classic Chaos

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

Re: Should I start an attention-grabbing thread with no context?

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 :lol:

Re: Tyr sea and Gol

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.

Re: New Years Gunboat

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...

Re: Can you help dislodge yourself?

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.

Re: Invitation code

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...

Re: New Board UI testing

Well, it looks better overall, no doubts. There are a few minor issues that may be addressed: the Pause/Draw/Cancel buttons are a bit hard to find, hidden in the "Info" popup where are the "need help" and the new "lodge suspicion" links? where are the "rewind/fast forward" buttons? But the two thing...

Re: Moderation is important

Totally agree with Ginge86.
