Is it me, or is the Modern Diplomacy map really bad?
The starts are more unbalanced than in any other variant, and builds anywhere means there is no incentive to defend your homeland, and lessens strategic depth as there is also no incentive to try your best to hold your ground when you've extended relatively far from where you started. I've played this variant a couple times, but it keeps disappointing me. What's the appeal?

I'm not purely trying to detract here, I sincerely want a counterargument.

Public Non-Anonymous Games taking a
With some crackdown activity by the Mods on multis in the past few months, it looks like the number of public non-anonymous games has taken a bit of a dip, suggesting that there were indeed quite a few multi-account efforts in these games. I for one appreciate the policing of such cheating.

F2F Game in Chicago Area
Hey guys, I'm going to be in the greater Chicago area from like January 2nd until January 12th or so. There aren't many webdipers located around me, but I figure there's probably 5 or 6 in Chicago. Would anyone be interested in playing a face to face game if I can find enough people?

Who would you regard as the finest players whom you have played with on webDiplomacy?
As I said before, thus far the two best players whom I have played with are McFly and Kearns892. I have played with players who are ranked higher in the "ghost ratings," but that doesn't mean anything as it also accounts for prevalence of play.

I would be interested in hearing other people's responses.

Tricky one, as a lot depends on the circumstances you encountered them... Some players can be mediocre in some games and stunningly good in others. Still, there are a few that have stuck in the mind...

anlari
gantz
Babak
and... possibly... VillageIdiot... if you squint a bit...
JEccles (421 D)

I agree with Octavious, it depends on the circumstance. The ones I view as the finest players are people that I've played with usually more than once, and I've seen first hand how they play. In no particular order, I would probably say:

President Eden
Chaqa
Tantrum
Ssorenn
bo_sox48

I'm sure there are others as well, but those are the first ones that come to mind for me.

JEccles (421 D)

Chaqa, I take all kinds of games into consideration, not just press. I don't think I've played press with you, or at least I don't remember it. We would probably be on similar levels then with press games if you truly aren't good at them lol

I agree on Valis. Despite him being a piece of shit, he's the only person that has consistently shown that he can kick my ass
They should do a best-of-the-best peanut gallery game.

I played with Valis twice and I honestly found him to be a scrub player.
ghug (5068 D(B))
07 Dec 16 UTC
Valis is clearly very good at live games and pretty decent at gunboat. I've also witnessed very impressive play in long phase press games from him, but sadly (or maybe luckily?) I've never experienced it inside a game.

Others include:
uclabb
ATC
MadMarx
Tasnica
Cachimbo

With that said, he may be a great live player as you said. I have no idea.
Yoyoyozo (65 D)

I say gunboat is where Valis lacks the most.

@civwarbuff
Have you played him this year? I joined in 2014 and honestly he's was pretty rubbish up untik about a year ago

Replacement Thread
Seriously Mods (or whomever) -- we need a replacement thread where people will sign up to be on a waiting list to take-over positions, etc.

Got a player in need of some help and can't find a replacement. Throw 'em some points or something for helping out...but this NOT being able to find a replacement for a game is....well....THIS is part of the problem with this site...just sayin'
