Lacking Strategy for World Diplomacy
In my searches I've yet to find any helpful strategy or tactic articles for World Diplomacy. Obviously the point is to develop your own twist on the common strategy, but for someone like me playing their first world game after focusing on classic and modern for two years it's a problem. Anyone have any tips for World Diplomacy (specifically Argentina).

iOS 10 Problem
Okay, so it's kind of shit in terms of typing things. It used to be that when I was typing on my phone when the typing went off of where the screen was currently positioned, the screen would move to accommodate so you could always see what you are typing, so now when I'm on my phone I have to physically move where on the page the screen is viewing to see where I'm typing. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Do players sometimes get randomly muted during game?
This happened in my first game and now it happened in my second. I'll look down at the list of players and one of them will just randomly be muted. What's going on? Did I randomly click on the screen and mute somebody? Site problem? A bug? I caught this one pretty quickly so I don't think I missed any important conversations but still!!

Variants - why so few?
Greetings, noble players of the hobby.
I wonder why this site has so few variants. Most sites either have lots (vDiplomacy) or just a few connected and similar ones (PlayDiplomacy) or just good old vanilla (Backstabbr).

If a player didn't move at the very beginning(1901S)
Hello all,
I have a slow-pace game now, but the Turkey guy didn't move in 1901S, and we waited her/him 3 days. If the guy has forgotten this game, could we kick this guy out and recruit a new player? Thanks.

Live Game Tournament
Looking for some feedback from the webDip community at large as to whether we could make a live game tournament happen. Here's what I was thinking:

Not terribly longer than a 5 minute game. I'm open to rulebook press too if the time is a huge concern but there's been disagreement about that. 7 minute press was developed because some people thought 5 was too short for press live games and 10 was too long, especially when people don't ready orders.

10. achillies27 (yay)

What are preferences between Saturdays and Sundays? I personally think Saturday would work better for more people and it also works better for me for organizing games, but as of right now, it would probably be easier just to set up a game on a first-come basis as opposed to really running an organized tournament, so it doesn't matter too much.

If there is enough interest to fill a couple of boards at a time (maybe in the range of 16-18 people so we have a few alternates), then I'll create an official sign up thread and close this one. For now, this list is just tracking interest.

Octavious (2701 D)
21 Aug 16 UTC
Mkay, Saturday's are probably best for me too.
ckroberts (3548 D)
22 Aug 16 UTC
Sunday will in general but not always work better for me. But that's going to be a week-by-week basis, and Sunday won't always work, so go with what's better for the group as a whole. I think bo is right to make it kind of a running thing rather than a formalized laid-out tournament.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
22 Aug 16 UTC
Boop. Sounds like Saturday is better for most people.

7. Octavious
8. ckroberts (?)
9. MoscowFleet
10. achillies27 (yw for yay)
11. Yoyoyozo
12. Valis2501

One board running at a time seems most likely and whoever is around on Saturday evening can jump in barring some more sign ups.
achillies27 (100 D)

Oh yeah just out of curiousity, are the games gonna be anon? I don't think you've said either way..
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
23 Aug 16 UTC
Up for whatever. Do you all prefer anon?
achillies27 (100 D)
23 Aug 16 UTC
I'm down for whatever, I would honestly think it'd be cool for non anon, however I'd be worried about once this starts going and someone has a lead from previous games, I think anon is almost necessary lol.
Octavious (2701 D)
23 Aug 16 UTC
I have a preference for anon. As the games are only a few hours long they might even stay anon too!
Dariusz (242 D)
23 Aug 16 UTC
I'd be interested in this as well, but this Sunday (8/28) isn't so great for me.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
23 Aug 16 UTC
I love non-anon series games, but if we end up putting together a big enough roster to make this a tournament, I agree that non-anon is risky.

Dariusz, you don't have any game history but I see that you're doing well in the ones you're playing right now. I'm willing to let you play but could you please confirm for me that you understand the commitment (often upwards of 3 hours per game) and will do everything in your power to avoid CDing? It seems to me like we're playing on Saturday, by the way, though only a few people have voiced an opinion on that.
Dariusz (242 D)
24 Aug 16 UTC
Yes, it would be my first live game on webDip, but I'm aware of the commitment. I've been playing for about two years on another site before Valis convinced me to play here. (Also, full disclosure, I know him IRL.)
Octavious (2701 D)
24 Aug 16 UTC
My deepest sympathies ;).

Always nice to see new blood. Which site do you usually play from, by the way? Playdip? vdip? Bounced? One of the Facebook sites?

Cool, that's two full boards. If we get two more then I'm comfortable setting up the tournament, so please join. Should be fun, live games are fun when people are committed to them.
