Balance in Modern Variant
I just got back into diplomacy after a two year hiatus and looking back at my old games I've noticed that the modern variant has big differences in skill required to be successful between countries. So I ask, has anyone been successful with Ukraine or Egypt?

Army builds only game
I've set up http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=205374 as a game where the restriction (self-enforced) is that you can only build armies - you are stuck with just whatever fleets you start with.

Game of Thrones Season 7 is terrible
So this is probably gonna make people dispise me. I wanna explain in great detail why Game of Thrones is sub-par at best at this point. Let me preface this by letting you know I am a die-hard fan. Ive read the books. I play the LCG, I am truly a GOT obsessed fan. But this is awful writing

If they wanted to make sure Jon lived, they could've had Beric do a last stand scene attempting to fight the Night King and ultimately dying. There were so many ways to write this episode better that it's baffling how poor it is.

Also, can we talk about how the Night King at this point is basically the same as the Lich King from the Warcraft franchise?

In previous seasons, characters did things because they made sense according to the facts and their motivations.

In this season, what they want to do is contrived based on the needs of the plot.

So Gendry was able to run 100 miles back to eastwatch. Send a raven 2000 miles to dragonstone.

Dragons arrive within mere minutes?

Also the fact that Arya and Sansa both know that Bran can literally see everything should've immediately resolved that fake conflict in Winterfell, but nah. They had to draw it out.

So apparently ravens are faster than email and dragons are faster than supersonic jets. And since when is Gendry "the fastest"? Yeah, let's trust the guy who's never seen snow before to find his way in a whiteout. This has quickly devolved into utter nonsense.
It is nonsense.

Also, I got the impression that about a day had passed. Still friggin light-speed though.

It was always somewhere between bad and meh this whole season. There were some high end memes that came from it though.

Bit weird that they wrapped up the white walker storyline so quickly after dragging it out all season, but I guess they want to spend the final season on the petty squabbles of mortals.
TrPrado (461 D)
28 Aug 17 UTC
I mentioned earlier in the thread that the Night King at this point is the same as the Lich King, but can we also talk about the fact that this finale set up the writers to be able to use the entire plot for the Wrath of the Lich King expansion to World of Warcraft to finish out the show? And can we also talk about how there was a shot at the end that was basically identical to a shot from the opening cinematic for that same expansion?

Wrath of lich King was a great expansion. I hope got can be as good but this season was fairly poor
TrPrado (461 D)
28 Aug 17 UTC
It was probably the best expansion in WoW, but I don't want to see GoT hijack that plot for its ending. So there are a few plot points I'm afraid of seeing.
Lich King is also one of the best expansions for Hearthstone too.

Episode 6, Tormund should have died when the wights piled on top of him, Beric should've forced Jon to get on the dragon and then went and did a last stand to attempt to fight the Night King and ultimately die, and Jorah should've fallen off Drogon. Gendry should've died at the Wall. Cersei should've had the Mountain kill Jaime. Theon should've died in that stupid fistfight.

I guess they want to save chracters for the six episode season 8. Also arthas was built up way more than the night King.
TrPrado (461 D)
28 Aug 17 UTC
The only one of those characters who's still seemingly got a role to play is Jaime, everyone else is hogwash, and if Beric and Tormund survived the wall crashing down I'm going to be very upset.

Arthas was much better written.
Oh, they almost certainly survived. D&D are gonna keep Tormund and Brienne alive to the end because fanservice.
TrPrado (461 D)
28 Aug 17 UTC
The tension in Winterfell was so fake it was dumb. I half-wanted Arya to die there because fuck the fanservice, but because Bran, ya know, basically just exists, it was obvious they were turning on Littlefinger.

It appears on some old games (example: http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=6869#gamePanel).

Appears really confusing, I can't figure out what is supposed to happen witht the points. Why was it removed by the way?

Biggest Pot Game in webDiplomacy HISTORY
Just as it says in the subject line. I've been tasked with helping set up the biggest point game in webDiplomacy History. Probably in part because it's way above my number of points so I'm beneath taking part myself.

It's going to be *fully* anonymous; aka no one (besides myself) will know which 7 players are in the game. If you want to take part, or have any questions about the game, PM me for the password/details. Game link here: http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=205041

Its their fualt for living along a coast. We should shut down the government, and not spend taxpayer dollars helping rebuild homes for people who built in high risk areas. Disaster Relief shouldnt be political. So lets deny everyone aid, regardless of that states political leanings. PS I dont believe what Im.saying just fyi
