I would love to get your thoughts on possible variants:
(a) Standard game but with a fleet in Rome;
(b) Wildcard variant - once the countries have been distributed, each player can elect to build either a fleet or an army on any domestic coastal territory (and in the case of Saint-Petersburg can elect on which coast to build a fleet).

Introducing friends to the game
Hello all. Long time no see. I'm looking to introduce three of my friends to the game and am looking for three reliable friendly players to help in their first game. I have prepped them on the site rules. The game will be not anonymous ( I think this is easier when learning) and will be 36 hour phases starting next week. Post if interested. Thanks

Possible meta-gaming?
There's a public game I'm currently in and another player mentioned that two players from this particular game have played a ton of public games together. When we asked, they admitted to being friend outside of the game. Isn't that against the rules? Thanks for clarification.

there's the vDiplomacy site where you can play more variations of diplomacy. Does that site have any correlation to WebDiplomacy? And if it does should my webdiplomacy account work there too? I tried to log in with this account but it didn't work. Thanks for help.

Solve homelessness? Give them homes!
I found this very interesting, and it's a nice and efficient way of approaching the problem of homelessness. Until now the thinking went that giving the homeless homes was a joke and wouldn't solve anything except cost the government even more. As it turns out, providing homes for the homeless is not only a humane choice and improves their lives, it actually saves the government money. A money driven initiative with a positive human impact :)

The game would be held in a few weeks, to give plenty of notice and planning time. We'd want a full game, and hopefully no NMR. It would be a Gunboat probably, due to the time constraints, but I'm looking for interested players:

vDip's stats page says that games last for around 33 turns (where turns is spring or fall). Assuming that there are only two of {spring retreats, fall retreats, builds} per year, then you're looking at 6 hours of gameplay. If you get both retreats and builds each year, and no-one hits ready, then you're looking at an 8 hour game.

We're planning to add timed phase changes as an option for live games (say first 4 hours live, then it becomes 1 day phases, or something), but in the meantime we have to do that manually. If you want to do that, shoot [email protected] an email and we see if we can arrange someone to be on at the right time to manually change the phase length.
Chaqa (3971 D(B))
06 May 15 UTC
Thanks ATC! I was thinking we'd just do loner phases with an honors system, but changing phases would be cool!

I'm interested just for the sheer improbability of getting 17 players ready all at once.
A_Tin_Can (2234 D)
06 May 15 UTC
I just checked - tournament director powers do allow TD's to change the phase length. So that could work too.

We should also have some alternates.
Chaqa (3971 D(B))

We'll need 17 players and like 5 alternates I think.

Time will be TBD.
Tasnica (3366 D)
07 May 15 UTC
Yeah, there are 86 supply centers on that map, and you need 44 for a solo.

So not only does that leave the possibility of multiple players with 20+ units, but a person going for the solo could have over 40!

Hypothetically speaking, if someone were to reach 43 units, they would have ~7 seconds per unit for 5 minute turns. That's barely enough time to even go through the menus and enter orders at all.
kasimax (243 D)
07 May 15 UTC
tasnica is right. i think that ten minute phases with an agreement to ready up is probably a better idea?
Chaqa (3971 D(B))
07 May 15 UTC
So my thought is to have a GM oversee the game. Either he, or a mod, could up the phase length from 5 to 10 minutes once someone hits like 20 units. Sounds good?
kasimax (243 D)
12 May 15 UTC
bump.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
