... and other political boardgames, actually. Can anyone suggest any others? Offer any wise words about which are best, why some work better than others, etc? Any help/comments much appreciated...

What is your typical Diplomacy player?
So I was wondering, is there any major trends in what kind of people play Diplomacy?
I'm off the Assumption that the vast majority are guys, relatively Nerdy, but in a vast range of ages. I could be massively wrong but that's what I've always thought when considering the player base.
Are there any previous threads or data already collected about this sort of thing, and am I breaking any rules by inquiring :P

I had this debate with a friend. He insists my question is too abstract to be solved. I do not believe it is. What does everyone here believe? (and yes, he already showed me that validity doesn't matter to him and Wikipedia agrees with him since he used to be an admin there).

High Quality Variant Invitational
So, I'm taking a break from taking a break from this site, and want to play a few games.

I've noticed that we have two new variant maps, which I'm sure people put a lot of time and effort into making! Alas, variant maps rarely seem to get high-quality players, but I'd like to try them and I'd like to change that.

Mt Fuji
Has anyone ever climbed Fuji before on here? I have some technical questions that the people I've been talking with can't seem to give me a good answer on.

I climbed Mount Fuji this morning before breakfast, rode back down on a skateboard, then went up again this evening.
When I went to Tokyo I climbed mount Takao. I was made to understand you waited in lines all over on Fuji and that it therefore took twice as long as it should. We had great views of Tokyo and Fuji and were met with a beer garden and buffet at the top. I would suggest this type of approach, sorry it doesn't answer your question.

Yeah Lando, it is that way in the summer, but I'm trying to climb it around New Years'. It's pretty much empty in the winter, thankfully.

If I climbed during the summer, that's an idea, either that or go at the beginning of July.

250,000 a year * 75 year average lifespan = 18,750,000 people alive who have done it. 18,750,000/7,000,000,000 = 0.27% of the world.

Active site users - 1,436 = 2.05*10^-7% of the world.

Probability that someone here has climbed Mt. Fuji ~ 5*10^-8%

And that with a lot of high end assumptions.
I would imagine it gets pretty cold in the winter.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
03 Nov 14 UTC
Lol, thanks goldie.

Yeah, Lando, and apparently the winds get strong enough in the last few thousand feet (especially at night) that you have to dig holes in the snow with an axe and bury your face or you can get frostbite through your facemask. It says a lot when burying your head in snow is the warm option.

Goldie, there's something wrong with your math. Assuming that both the population of webDip players and the population of people who've climbed Mt. Fuji are both perfectly representative of the overall population (which is not correct, but presumably an assumption you made), we would expect about four active players to have climbed Mt. Fuji, which is a lot higher than what your percentage gives us.

@ghug - I suppose if you take being a webdip player as a given, then yes. I was doing it more probability you're a webdip player * probability you've climbed mt fuji
TrPrado (461 D)
04 Nov 14 UTC
Ahem, the probability that you've climbed Mt. Fuji should actually be 100%.

That's the probability that a random person is both a webDip player and a Fuji climber.
