Help! I'm new!
Hi everyone, I just joined this site a couple days ago. I understand relatively how to play Diplomacy, but I've only played in real life before. Typically, I've never been able to round up many friends to play the game because it takes so long, but I've played some games. Can anyone direct me to any resources so I can learn to play better? Sorry if there was a post like this, but I couldn't find it.

MLB Playoffs
Well fellas, we're down to the last day. The Mariners' drought continues, the Cards continue to somehow stay in it, the Jays thank the Lord finally get a win to push them to the #1 spot. The Nats also clinched home field advantage over the Dodgers.

Any WS predictions? Is it really the Cubs' year? Can the Dodgers finally make it? Who's going to surprise? My money is on the Jays duelling it out with the Giants, but of course I have a strong bias. What do you all think?

I teared up a little when I realized that Italy was going to give his partner, Austria, a piece of the pie instead of soloing. There are happy endings in Diplomacy after all!

webDiplomacy continues to lose players
The number of players listed each month in the Ghostratings continues to decline. Every year, there is a peak around May/June. We peaked in 2011 with 3,571 players, and steadily lost players from then to now (if you don't count the 2013-2014 inflated numbers anomaly). This last May peak we hit 2,503. At this rate, I figure there will be seven of us left in 2029.

Frostweaver's Personal Comments on Live Gunboat-483
Just a note: I'm not playing in the game, just spectating and inputting my personal comments on the game's moves.

Classic opening moves were made by all countries - except for Turkey. Seems Turkey is susceptible to Russian retaliation from the Black Sea. Also quite interesting how Britain and France strayed away from the English Channel.

Putin has rejected the whole 'Russia is influencing U.S. election' attack by the Obama-Clinton White House.

Additionally, Putin says that the U.S. is acting hysterical. I think this is accurate.

I am hardly surprised that Putin denied these allegations. Putin's assertions don't make me believe the US Intelligence Community's findings more or less.

As one internet correctly put it -- if Putin wanted to influence us elections HE WOULD HAVE DONATED TO THE CLINTON CRIME FOUNDATION.

Bam...enough said.

But I'll continue anyway...how in the hell can fucking Hillary Clinton claim that Russia is behind EVERYTHING, and has hacked the DNC and this and that and the other thing....

......but they *never ever ever* got into her servers?

She's such an amazing jackass it isn't even funny. But more pathetic still is anyone that would even consider pulling the lever for her.

@Krellin

Russia is most likely behind the DNC hacks, there are arguments made to the contrary but I find it most likely

...but the servers were probably Guccifer if anyone.

The difference between the two scenarios is that EVERYONE knew about DNC servers, but NOBODY knew (or very few) that Clinton even HAD a private server. You can't hack something, if you don't know it exists.

@jmbostwick

that said... the actual DNC hacks themselves showed us a shit-ton of information that was bad.

I do not condone Russia's actions, but if they exposed the fact that Hillary was literal Satan who had murdered a billion ethnically diverse babies...

I'm not going to ignore the content :\
jmbostwick (2308 D)
27 Oct 16 UTC
@James:

Whether or not you ignore the content is not the point. Putin is denying that the hacks originated from his country; our intelligence services say they did, in fact, originate from his country. People who believe the dictator in this scenario are being ridiculous.

The discussion of how to respond and react to the information being presented is informed by, but separate from, determining who is responsible for illegally obtaining the information in the first place.

"Russia is most likely behind the DNC hacks, there are arguments made to the contrary but I find it most likely"

COMPLETE AND UTTER BULLSHIT.

Go back in history, and look at the Government/Media mantra. It used to be "The CHINESE ARE HACKING US!!!!!!"

And then the glorious Edwardd Snowden landed his ass in Russia and suddenly the Chinese apparently stopped hacking anyone....

and now....

The RUSSIANS ARE HACKING US!!

Funny thing though....the only reason we know about this hacking is because wikileaks has released the info.

Where the fuck are all these braniacs in the Federal governement identifying these hacks BEFORE they occured???

AND......wait for it....

ASSANGE SAID IT WASN'T THE RUSSIANS.

But, you know, Liberal Sheep are Liberal <bahhhhhhhhh....> sheep and Liberal Media want to protect their Big Girl (and she IS and B-I-G girl in her Dictator Coats...) and therefore in order to try to pretend the wikileaks isn't worth looking at they say "OHHHHH....BUT THE RUSSIANS...." and where supposed to pretend their shit doesn't stink.

Well....they LOVED them some wikileaks when they were shitting on Bush, idn't they? But suddenly wikileaks is an invalid source of info.

But....oddly enough...they never DENY the shit in the wikileaks...they just say "NOT FAIR NOT FAIR" like retarded bleating sheep.


Ugh.....what the fuck is becoming of this world....

TRUTH -- I deny anybody with even a *shred* of technological skill that has a server who can examine the traffic coming into their server and see who is attempting to get into their servers to DO SO...and then report the results.

The interwebs is FULL of wanna-be hackers. They hack facebook, they hack your email they hack hack hack.

This CHILDISH INSULTING notion that ALL HACKS COME FROM RUSSIA so insulting and retarrded that it isn't even worthy of discussioin.

If the media did their job, they would shed light on this shit.

Anyway....back to the "Do you have a erver"....Go ahaead, look at the attempts to log into tyour server, which probably happen THOUSANDS of times a day from random shit ALL AROUND the world...

Actually, when I say the WikiLeaks aren't worth a look, it's cause they're repetitive and the info was all stuff we already knew. They released evidence of media collusion back in the summer. The rest was public knowledge or assumed. If it didn't put a dent in her then, it won't put a dent in her now.

Facebook Diplomacy
I've discovered a bot that allows you to play chess on a Facebook Chat page using algebraic notation. Could someone conceivably create a Diplomacy adjudicator for a Facebook chat page? It might make Diplomacy more accessible as you can easily play with your friends without worrying for phase length, pauses etc. Would this be in any way possible? It's just a thought.
