Utopia
Thomas Moore's book (which I am about to start reading) represents what is in his view, a Utopian society. Given this book was written almost 500 years ago, there is no doubt that Moore's ideas are outdated and maybe in some case perceived as unethical in our society.

Sp, my question for all would be, say you were the author of Utopia, what would be the setting of your book?

How to make and keep alliances
I am wondering what people feel are the best ways to make and keep alliances. Seeing as they are almost necessary to win, i want to know some experienced players' advice and tips on them.

Iceland...
Iceland is not in its proper position on the WebDiplomacy map (meaning that it is not that close to England in actuality), so why would it even be included on the map if it serves no other purpose. WHY IS IT THERE?

Annoying Player Help
A friend of mine playing web diplomacy told me he had a player called King Atom in his game, but feels the player is very annoying and wants help dealing with the problem. Is there any way to kick a player out of a game or block them from joining a public game for future reference.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
my apologies if you're serious, I'm not making light of your plight but that is funny given KA's history on the forums

there's no way to kick someone out unless the player is banned (presumably - generally - for cheating), and if you see them in nonanon you can avoid them then

No there is no way to do that, but you can password your game. Next time don't name the specific player.

It may not be cricket, but the other powers can also gang up on him and eliminate him in-game if he's being annoying in-game. Consider it the equivalent of Kaiser Wilhelm's gift for needlessly making enemies.

You have confessed to me that your girlfriend who moved away is Hail the Victor. Do you always plan to play with her? If so, will you tell your opponents in the game that you know each other in real life? And will you always be allying with her from the start when it is convenient? The latter I ask because that is against the rules. Telling your opponents you know each other isn't a strict rule, but it is good form to do. But always allying with someone when your nations can work together is a pregame alliance and is strictly forbidden.

12 Sep 11 UTC
Oh, and I better not hear you tell of her coming to town and giving you sexual favors for your help in a game. If she does that, she has to give *all* of us sexual favors. Share and share alike, so they say.

Depends. Is she 18? Don't want to go to the pen for looking at a 16 or 17 year old, when the 16 year old could legally boff my brains out and I be immune from prosecution.

And there we have it! Draugnar's Law made it to this thread!
FirstApple (100 D(B))
12 Sep 11 UTC
Ahhh, but you're okay with receiving sexual favors from the same potential underage just to overlook an out-of-game alliance in diplomacy? I think your priorities are a little out of line Draugnar.
Draugnar (0 DX)
12 Sep 11 UTC
Well, my wifre might have something to say about me sleeping with someone barely a third my age anyhow. And I didn't say I'd overlook it. Nor did I imply it. In fact, my implication was I'd throw the game to her for the favors. That would be six happy fellows and one winning lady.

LOL! Diplomat 33 muted me! The metaplayer muted me! I love it! I tried telling him about metagaming with friends being against the rules in a PM and he mutes me! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! What fun! I'm officially muted! I probably was by TC or someone before, but this is the first time I tried to PM someone to discover they had me muted.
Diplomat33 (243 D(B))
12 Sep 11 UTC
Yes, i had you muted, as you are making annoying, falsified comments against me
Draugnar (0 DX)
12 Sep 11 UTC
Nothing falsified about it. The mods can see the PM you wrote to me. I asked you questions. Maybe even leading questions. But you never answered me, leading me to believe you are helping her in every game and that, my dear diplofool, is cheating. It's called metagaming and is against the rules.
Diplomat33 (243 D(B))
12 Sep 11 UTC
I am aware of it, the mods contacted me and i admitted it and await their judgement

Here are our PM history. And I am loathe to do this, but feel it must be done to clear my name of supposed flase accusations...

Diplomat33 03:37 PM i expect them too, but im mearly helping someone i know get started in diplomacy

To: Diplomat33 03:21 PM You sent: Do you reveal this info to the players you play with? It is unfair to go into a game with the knowledge you will have an alliance built in and is considered cheating. So far, you two have always worked together. That is metagaming and the mods will take action when they learn of this.

Diplomat33 03:16 PM Hail the Victor is my ex girlfriend, who i introduced to web diplomacy and then she moved so we keep in touch by playing in games together.
Diplomat33 (243 D(B))
12 Sep 11 UTC
yes, thank you for revealing my personal info Draugnar and as i said above i admitted to metagaming and await what the mods will do about it
Draugnar (0 DX)
12 Sep 11 UTC
What they should do is dock both of you points and either remove one or both of you from your current two games you are collectively winning, or cancel those games altogether and then dock you the points. At least, that is what I would do. You don't need banning, but you do need punished and those games need rectified as the other five players in each of those games are being directly affected by your cheating.

I was gathering and posting that when you posted your admission of guilt to the mods. Sorry, but I didn't see it until after my posting.

i was only trying to help a friend new to diplomacy. i will accept what the mods give me and no longer play with Hail the Victor!

But I guess you will now admit that I wasn't falsely accusing you of jack shit, right?
Diplomat33 (243 D(B))
12 Sep 11 UTC
Yes. Next time, please dont post personal info on a public forum, eh
Draugnar (0 DX)
12 Sep 11 UTC
Unless the mods say no, you can play with her, but don't always ally with her and let the others know she is a real life acquaintance.. The key is to inform and then treat her like any other player.
Draugnar (0 DX)
12 Sep 11 UTC
What personal info? That you have an ex-girlfriend? Geez, I have an ex-fiance and a wife of 22 years. Everyone here over 15 has an ex-girlfriend, I'm sure.

ok i will do that. sorry to get the whole forum riled up and can we move on now. if you want to talk to me further send a personal message please draugnar

Games paused?
I may have missed the thread on this, but is there any way for a mod to now unpause the games that have been put on pause since the glitch has happened at least 24 hours ago? In world games where there are a fair few who have already CDed, it would be great to get moving!

Guessing game
So I got home from one social event, few beers were unlucky enough to meet my stomach and so on. Then I got hungry and fried me 7 late-night eggs. The problem was I forgot I wasn't supposed to feed the whole family as usually but only myself, yet I used the same amount of oil and butter. The eggs literally swam in grease. Of course I ate them, I'm a pig/scrooge, but what will my intestines say? To find out whether there is any consensus on this complicated subject, I propose a guessing game.

How common is soloing without backstabbing?
I've been in the endgame a few times with a strong position, but I hate the idea of turning on someone I've been working with since turn 1. It just... it's a terrible bad vibe, y'know? You have a good time playing together for a couple hours, coordinating, etc, I don't want to stab after that.

Other players might make poor tactical moves or fight at bad times, but how common is solo-winning based on that? Are people who try to not stab their allies consigned to lots of draws?
