We have two more teams officially signed up: First up - They may not be the webDip superheroes... but they are the BEST of the middle of the the pack, Team MidBest!

Goldfinger did Chluke dirty chluke (will whore himself out to Mid-West, California, Florida, or Sweden) So, my Team Dad abandons the home, leaves me cold and hungry out on the street, and then calls me a whore :cry: #HomelessGunboater #WhoringLifeAintSoEasy #TeamDadAbandonedUs It's time you grew up...

Yo why don't we have 1v1? Too weird logistically for this format? I don't quite see how you can have a 1v1 in this tournament. It would be a mess logistically and hard to score. There would have to be something like 42 matches to organize for each group and each stage. And whereas in every other ga...

Convoy to Greece, don't cover Venice in A02.
No guarantees in tournament play, but the average Diplomacy player doesn't have the guts to try to punish you.

Looks at game I'm about to lose

Yep, that's just about what I did.

Man, someone needs to teach me how to play as Italy. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to win.

Also, I'm going to be extending signups by another week to give everyone a little more time, and to lessen the overlap with the ongoing Leagues.

New deadline to sign up is March 9th

Multiple teams from the same region are definitely allowed :)

And we have another team! We all know Poland can into space, but can they get into the Finals? We shall see! Welcome, Team Poland!!

Halt - the thing is, 5 other people are getting 0's with you. That there are 21 people in a division and not 14 helps a lot (this scoring would absolutely not work with 14, whereas here it's on the fence) but the advantage gained by 3-4 points in this format is minimal. 3-4 points don't matter when ...

I'm also going to summarize what I've seen in the thread, as far as people searching for teams go. This is just a summation of where I've seen people express interest in playing, not that you *have* to form these teams.

And we have a flurry of activity! First up, the oldies but goodies - Team Great Britain! The Brits haven't been represented in the World Cup Finals in several iterations of the tournaments. Can this team pave the way? Captainmeme Deeply_Dippy Octavious TooCoolSunday Next, we have a new group of fres...

We have our second team. Welcome Team British Empire!

As a reminder, once you have your team, just send me a PM with your team members and role assignments!

I've done what I can to make quality improvements from the last tournament, where I was perhaps too loose. But the scope of the problem wasn't serious enough to implement anything more drastic than I already have. What are the improvements/changes for this one? Well there are several changes Player...

Gold, just a thought, but maybe you shouldn't even post the team members until after the round completes? So, for example, you just post that Cascadia, with average GR or YR of 546?, is playing California, with average GR/YR of X. Thus would really foil the creepers. And as TD, you can make sure th...

They can always change what they send me :-D For those new to the tournament, we had some problems last time around with certain people taking some extra measures to find out everyone's identities in these anon games. To make this harder for those certain people, I've opted to not officially disclos...

@Condecension - I don't think that's necessary. Doubling the points given for SC's (or halving the bonuses for top 3) would do a better job than your proposal, I think. The goal would be to eliminate a small 5th or 6th place power from having mathematically better odds in the tournament from tossing...

And we have our first team signed up! Team Greater Lakes is back for revenge. With a new and improved All-Star veteran lineup, this is not a team to be taken lightly, folks. Led by captain Durga and co-captain yoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyozo, they look to improve on their record-setting outing in the last WC. ...

Just for the record, all of these games are played on the classic map :)

It's in the first post
