Moderator please help

Our game has been paused and one person has not logged on for the past 5 days. Can we get the game unpaused? or even just canceling the game would be fine.

Anyone else hear about the recent spree of dwarf pick-pocketing?

I didn't think anyone would stoop that low.

Metagaming.

To what extant is it metagaming if you make decisions on the basis that those who suffer from your decision might decide to get you back in another game you ar playing.

Civil Disorder - Record Smearing Free?

I see a lot of games that are available to take over a country in civil disorder. However, by taking over most of them, it is giving your record a quick loss. I wish that taking over games didn't tarnish your record, for good or for bad. Thoughts?

Least irrelevant province in Diplomacy

Which province has the most impact on any game?

I think MAO, MUN, NTS, GAL, and then either WMS or IOS. Maybe we can do one of those +/- things where they get points. Anyone care to create a list of ten? We have to do that first.

snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.

Has anyone ever gone on to win a game of diplomacy after having been reduced to a single supply center?
If not what about after having been reduced to 2 supply centres or going on to a draw?
Anyone got stories to tell on this subject?

Diplomacy group on Jyte

I was thinking about ways to debate Diplomacy topics, when I realised jyte would be perfect for this sort of thing. The group is at http://jyte.com/groups/diplomacy .

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to go kill myself for being too stupid to have figured this out several years ago.

Gunboat - what's the point?

Diplomacy's actual wargame elements are highly abstract, and the gameplay hinges on making and breaking alliances.

What, then, is the point of a gunboat game, with no diplomatic dealings?

France, our alliance(Italy and I) fell because we were being attacked by greater powers. In your case, however, this does not apply. Italy is not very powerful, and therefor cannot do much against you. If you attacked Germany, It would be he that would crumble apart, not you because Germany he is right next to Russia who is the strongest player on the board. This means that Russia could fairly easily attack Germany with you.

Just showing I'm still here.
So far it doesnt look like I need to discuss anything.

Austria: I would not attack Germany unless he started being aggresive towards me.

[Germany]

Likewise, I see no need to go against Russia. The problem as I see it is that Russia or France could attack me, or each other. If they attack me, I move to defend, and the other large power gets all of my SCs, so they lose. If they attack each other, I'll side with the non-aggressor, causing the aggressor to lose. It's really to protect my own position, I don't want to get into a fight with either one of them, but if one of them forces it I will.

I plan on proposing a draw to Russia/France when Italy and Austria are wiped, but that's further down the road.

Austria,
As the three main powers are obviously satisfied with taking us out and then drawing, would you be interested in trying something daring?

Yes, you're probably right. And since I've just taken your home center, I don't expect you to work too closely with me : )

Russia, I am willing to support you in any way you desire. Just let me know.

I'd like to officially propose a 3-way draw between Russia and France once Turkey, Italy, and Austria are defeated. You two in?

PirateJack (400 )

[France]

Sounds like a good idea to me, though I can't really see Russia stopping at 14/15 SCs when he has the chance to go for more.

PirateJack (400 )
21 Apr 09 UTC

[France]

And especially because he can win more with 14 SCs than he can with a draw...

rratclif (0 )

[Germany]

That's why I offered it to him now, if he wants to avoid conflict he can accept, if he's not going to draw our choices are pretty limited.

It would be a very bad call for Russia to agree to a draw...

I will consider a draw, but there is still fighting to go.

P.Ginsberg (125 )

[Austria]

By consider a draw, he means no.

PirateJack (400 )
22 Apr 09 UTC

[France]

Well I suppose since it's an all or nothing deal, basically speaking, and relies on him being able to fight combined might of both France and Germany without an ally on the direct Mediterranean to aid him... I'd say taking the draw would be the better option, in the long run.

PirateJack (400 )

I don't think so France, let's just take Ven and keep moving through Austria and Italy. If Russia doesn't want to draw at that point we can deal with it then.
