WHY?

Live, full press games don't give enough time to communicate.
I would argue they do.

It's a matter of opinion. I've played live non-gunboats and hated them. People would ignore me entirely and blame it on the length of the phase. And even when people did communicate, it was limited at best.

5 minutes is barely enough time for me to figure out my moves in gunboat, let along organize an alliance and communicate to them. I will NEVER play a full press live game, unless it's at least 10 minutes.

Even when I play in person, we usually play 30-45 minute phases, not 5. And you can communicate a lot easier in person.

I would also say that full press live games are very feasible.

That being said, a ten minute game with certain people playing would be perfect..
The thing wit 5 minute press games is that they are in themselves a variant, I think.

You have to communicate in different ways and simplify your strategies. You can still communicate with everyone, maybe though moves alone or just simple phrases.

And you can't really comapre it to FTF phase length because online you can talk to everyone at once.

You can compare it, it's just not a perfect comparison.

Spartans...no offence but if you were to communicate with me i have a feeling that Google translate wont be able to help me very much.

I've played a good number of 5-min press games, and I always make it a point to communicate with at at least 4 of the other players, if not more, every phase (assuming there's that many left, of course!). It does help that I type very quickly and that I can analyze most maps in about 10 seconds, but it is very much possible.

no offense tooken , just to let everyone know the reason i have 2 loses on my recored is because i had to leave the game and do somthing and i made a new account

I find in most live full games, if I am not eliminated in the first two years, I end up working closely with only one or two other powers.

5 minutes is enough time to coordinate with just one or two other people.

i can comunicate with 2-3 people a phase

Help Needed with an Application of sorts
A class I want to take next fall with a very distinguised professor (Jared Diamond) has an application as a prerequisite to enrolling. I have to write a one-page paper about myself and my interests. I'm not the most humble person in the world but for some reason I'm bad at bragging in this sort of context. Any tips from the webdip community?

Ended up dropping off webdip a week
...not that anyone necessarily noticed :) Anyway, since I'm not playing all that much diplomacy as of late (school), and no games at the moment, what does that say about my identity on this forum, or legitimacy to be here? PS I watched my first Star Trek TNG episode. The one with the Ferengi and the planet that was sucking the energy out of the enterprise and the Ferengi ship. "What is Yankee Traders!?"

So I know that playing with two profiles is illegal and wrong, however, I wouldn't mind someone taking over for the players who have ceased playing... ahem China... Anyways feel free to attack me if you wish, but I just hate it when players stop playing. Also if posting this info is illegal, which I don't think it is, than could you peoples tell me if such a thing is illegal.
