Quality Live Game
I was considering starting a RP (Rulebook Press?) around 4pm EST (New York City Time). I was thinking 10 minute phases (assuming that the auto ready on retreat and builds will save us a ton of time) I would prefer if you have at least 10 games to your name and the bet will be 50 D. add your name in list format below. I will send out the Passwords at 3pm EST

Checking adjacent territories
Is there any way to check ahead of time, in any manner, if two territories are adjacent? There are some territories that seem adjacent, but I don't know if fleets can travel between them. I just don't know how to see if they are or not and don't want to take the chance they aren't and try to move somewhere only to find out the next move is impossible

Playtesting my boardgame online
Hello everyone,
version 1 of my boardgame is finished. It was brought to my attention that it's probably a good idea to test it online. Two things needed there: 1. players and
2. some sort of adjudicator to use, with which I can easily add and move around 6 unit types, factories, territory markers and 4 kinds of resources, while also keeping track of various variables (although that can be done fairly easily outside of the adjudicator).
Can you help with either of those?

New site feature: Voice chat press
Its simple you get a 7 player game public voice chat and webcam channel. So its like the closest thing to ftf Diplomacy since sliced bread. Can you imagine the look on Valis face when I build a fleet in Mar and hes in Italian Leponto. Come on webcam and voice chat would be hilarious.

Design Competition
See broadexpert.com if you want to help with the design of my start-up company. You may make some money. I'm not going to a design company for a reason though :-)

Meanwhile, I want to start a discussion: I have a debating competition coming up next week and one of the statements will be: 'High school students lack ambition'. If I'm against this statement, I thought it would be a good idea to bring up the company. I'm not sure whether that's socially acceptable though?

@y2k the slips are far more arbitrary in this. I cannot stress to you enough that there is a shitload of moving parts all around us happening. I will provide you with reads tonight after my road trip but there have already been signals sent to the masons on who to avoid. there have already been signals sent to the vig on who to kill tonight. And the cult have already gained enough info to pinpont a few PR's on both sides most likely.
We are talking about lynching Bo, while sure Bo could be town. He might be the only useful town PR, the tracker. in which case I'd actually say keep him alive. The Tracker could save us and as far as him getting gunned he has no idea who not to shoot. plus the fab might gun him too.

I say we noose Bo until he claims and if he claims tracker we spare him. Its not against our win condition since he has no idea who his own teammates are. its not an alliance either because his info helps his win condition too. If he tracks me for example, and I was visited by someone, then Bo despite being the enemy could be reserved for useful purposes.

I stated why Chaqa was my top read several pages ago. I said he anchored his vote on the bo wagon and vanished. Its not much but its "outside" the obvious choices. if we wanna kill bo, lets kill bo.
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
Chaqa is your "top read" because he voted for bo? Lots of people voted for bo.

You're an idiot.
@OBG, yes, directing a lynch on someone is good for anyone on a small team. The problem with your logic is that it rules out exactly nobody.

- Cult, Masons, and Mafia are most obvious. They are all on small teams and they know their teammates.
- Traitors and Town PRs are also on small teams. They just want to survive the day. Directing a lynch on anyone else is equally good for them. Sure a Town PR might inadvertently direct a lynch on a fellow Town PR, but they are never going to have any idea today who the other Town PRs are anyway, so they should be trying to do the exact same thing as the Traitors, direct a lynch onto anyone but them.

To say that directing a lynch is "best" for the cult is not probative. The move is consistent with literally every role.

@Y2K, when you say "rereading D1 will be a lot more useful" later, you should consider: "useful to whom." It is very unclear to whom it will be useful later. No matter what role you have, it is not at all clear that you want a big record on Day 1, even if all of this "scumhunting" right now were not utter nonsense (it is).

--- Really, nobody else wants to hammer? I think folks should consider again, and adjust to the game they are playing. This is not garden variety mafia.
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
I'd hammer but I got nothing but abuse for it last time out.
brainbomb (290 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
Otherwise I see no point in suspecting anyone, my top 5 is slightly adjusted however.

5. guak - outing mafia PR's and fishing is untraitory
4. xorxes - he looked very concerned about targeting cult and masons early on.
3. ghug - I am lightening up on him, but I do think he was directing mason traffic
2. vash - still think hes a town PR
1. Chaqa - anchored to bo and vanished. could be a bus, and/or a coordinated plan by masons to remove tracker from relevance. as tracker could actually be harmful to them.
OB_Gyn_Kenobi (888 D)

Balki - I never said it was probitive, I said cult had the most to gain from it. Motive. You know something about motive right?
brainbomb (290 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
I am aware that lots of people are voting to kill bo. I am aware of why they want to kill bo. When someone says to you, hey guys, Im on the other team. its not a bad idea to analyze why, and who they may be protecting. Its also wise to see who jumped on their wagons first as more likely than not a teammate or two is on bo's wagon.
guak (3381 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
@OB: I agree that for cultmaster it is easier to make such an statement. And I am not against A BB lynch given that he insists on ending the phase early, which is stupid. But what I mean is that such a statement could be made by basically anyone and is not really alignment indicative. It is more 'stupid-indicative', and BB has been known in several games for making stupid proposals, so I am not at all surprised by this. He has been a strong advocate for no lynches on D1 in the past and for tie votes. It doesn't surprise me that in this setup he wants a random D1 kill given how much chaos and madness there will be.
guak (3381 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
That being said,

##VOTE meme

brainbomb (290 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
I really would be against ending the D1 phase early, Vecna hasnt even posted yet. We dont know if he will get replaced, or modkilled? We have no idea if HR is lurking or just busy. I strongly disagree with Balki voting to End which is why I dont beleive thats what he is actually trying to do with that vote.
captainmeme (1723 DMod)
05 Jan 16 UTC
Balki - You haven't responded to my question. Was your immediate vote on me based on my adjudication last game?
@OBG, let's say we are trying to figure out who ate a delicious cookie. You have pointed out (wrongly) that cult leaders love cookies the absolute most and would have enjoyed that cookie. I have pointed out that everyone else loves cookies too.

As a result, we have learned nothing. A cult leader has a motive to do what I did, and everyone else does too.

Until you start pointing out something someone is done that is inconsistent with any role, you have drawn no meaningful distinctions.

I don't expect you to draw any meaningful distinctions today. Today is ridiculous.

There are a lot of cookies on the plate, but some are poisonous. If you're a cult leader though, you're immune to the poison, so it's safe to eat any cookie.

Yup, it's all CIFOM
captainmeme (1723 DMod)
05 Jan 16 UTC
Honestly, I dislike trying to find leads on D1 in normal games. In this game the only people we can really find leads to D1 are the two Masons and the two Cult Masters, and the only way we find info from that is one person trying to protect one another person - things people do anyway.

I'm not speaking right now because I'm not sure what I should be talking about. If people want to throw some questions my way please do so - it might make this easier. For now, though, my vote remains on Bo - I think his townslip is interesting and the pressure could potentially give us valuable information.

why would anyone kill y2k? makes no sense
brainbomb (290 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
Consider the following:
1. If we consolidate wagons onto Balki and Bo, we prevent a tie. Balki has stated he just wants to lynch someone and move on. Bo has all but sacrificed himself. If deadlines approach we should kill balki over bo, because bo is very likely not a Mason.
2. Tonight vig will kill 2 people, after lynch the game is down to 16 players. Cult will convert and grow to 3 members, masons may convert and grow as well. By morning mafia will night kill, and QM will have gunned, if Fab also guns we could be looking at a pile of dead bodies for SoD2.
3. With this in mind consider the odds that a lurker cult or town is still alive. Consider them a prime candidate for lynch.
4. Mafia may already be on brink of losing by EoD2 if we mislynch.

Russian Opening to Silesia Spring '01
This opening has become a little personal favorite of mine, (if I am Russia, France or Italy) and am wondering if anyone has thoughts, experience, or tactics to share about it. Convincing Russia to do it if you are France or Italy can be difficult -- but well worth it for all involved. You need an imaginative Russian though.
