Thanks for the password. I'm in. Perhaps steephie would be willing to hand out the roles?

guilherme.limoni (168 )
20 Dec 13 UTC

Sounds really funny, but I won't be able to join this time. Are you planning to make it more often?
Just to understand: the king and the knights win together?
End, at last, are the players allowed to reveal their identity to others (if they consider it usefull)?

Draugnar (0 )
20 Dec 13 UTC

Ah, but they could be lying. A traitor would claim to be on *both* sides but lie to fulfill his role.

Thomas Olai (599 )

virtuslex (483 )

I will pass out roles based on a RNG I have programmed.

Not hard to code a random number generator, but why bother when you could go to any of the online dice rollers and role a D4 and a D7 where each side of the D7 is a country and each D4 is a role. Ignore repeated countries and track role rolls so you can ignore when a particular role is completely filled.

dipplayer2004 (1110 )
20 Dec 13 UTC

Okay, count me in. This sounds different. I need something new.

virtuslex (483 )
20 Dec 13 UTC

Fair enough Draug. Was just mentioning the RNG to ensure happenstance assignment. Reap purpose was to offer help. Will assign at preference via RNG or dice.

dipplayer2004 (1110 )

Can the game start with the New Year?

tvrocks (388 )
20 Dec 13 UTC

I don't think it can

Draugnar (0 )
20 Dec 13 UTC

I was just wondering why you coded the RNG. Is it for another purpose? Always interested in motivations behind software development projects.

steephie22 (182 )
20 Dec 13 UTC

Presumably for learning purposes?

I would assign roles, but I suck at random :) I think I would be biased. I'm still willing to do it though.

tvrocks (388 )

tvrocks (388 )

If more people want to join, or if people like the game, I could create more games

dipplayer2004 (1110 )

So, I never really mentioned it here, but I've arranged it with tvrocks in PM, I am the one who randomized the roles. (tvrocks, please verify for the others). For the curious, I have used this device to generate the necessary random numbers:

guilherme.limoni (168 )
20 Dec 13 UTC

Ok that devices and softwares are really cool... but why not getting 7 cars (or writing the roles on pieces of paper) and opening then in alphabetc order of the country?
It's so easy, that even someone like me can do. =)

If we are each getting a car, can I get a Bugatti Veyron?

mendax (321 )
20 Dec 13 UTC

Before we really start, I feel like there is something I would like to be clarified; if I am correct:

The traitor knows the identity of everyone
The rebels know the identity of only themselves
The king knows the identity of only themself
The Knights know the identity of themselves and the King.

Hydro Globus (100 )
20 Dec 13 UTC

Because I only accept random numbers from a quality source. I'm CDO like that. My drawing order isn't random, I inevitably* draw the last card I put in. And I already have Matlab set up so that it can ask for those random bits whenever.

(CDO is like OCD, except the letters are in alphabetical order. As they should be.)

*not really inevitably, but you know what I mean.

Hydro Globus (100 )
20 Dec 13 UTC

Mendax:

From the opening post: "at the start of the game you will be informed of what role you have, the identity of the king, and, if you're the traitor, the identity of all other players"

So the Rebels also know the identity of the King.

Draugnar (0 )
20 Dec 13 UTC

And the knights and the rebels don't know anything *except* who the king is. Likewise, the king only knows himself?

Hydro Globus (100 )
20 Dec 13 UTC

That is correct.

mendax (321 )
20 Dec 13 UTC

I really should have noticed that. It appears I cannot read all the information given to me, so thanks.

Draugnar (0 )
20 Dec 13 UTC

What are the rules in revealing ourselves to others? I mean, we could lie, so it isn't like the other side can trust we are who we say we are.

How unhealthy are crisps?

Just wondering, and I thought it would be a nice change of topic. If one stops eating crisps, will he/she be significantly more healthy? How about energetic, happy? Or less? And fat? Do crisps make you significantly fat? You webdippers probably have some interesting thoughts on this as well.
Just normal, ready salted crisps, for the sake of argument. Before people start bringing up their homemade moonshine crisps as an argument...

Diplomacy Who--Mirror, Mirror, On the Walll, Who's the Best Classic Doctor of All?

http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=131817
Standard board with one quirk--countries get a number, 1 to 7...and you "speak" in the manner of the Doctor fitting your country's number. For instance, England #1 (Hartnell), France #2 (Troughton), Germany #3 (Pertwee), Italy #4 (Tom Baker...hooray!), Austria #5 (Davison), Russia #6 (Colin Baker), and Turkey #7 (McCoy.) So, grab your scarves, celery sticks, opera capes and rainbow coats, and let's go!
