Negative points in play?
I have noticed that sometimes the points in play and available points don't always add up, and that some players have negative points in play. Is this a bug or is there a reason for this?

Hey Fag-Naur, you fucking flake, get out of the forum.

Seriously, why bother posting anything, you flip-flopping piece of shit?

If anything, I'm going to jump on your dithering ass even more now.

Your word means NOTHING.

Yeah, well no one really believed Draugnar when he said he was leaving in the first place so it doesn't really matter. And to be fair, mapleleaf, you provoked that little snit fit in the first place. So if you weren't such an asshole to begin with, we wouldn't be having this discussion now, cupcake.

I'm not sure why but I've taken a dislike to Mapleleaf. Perhaps it's because he has too many vowels in his user name. I'm wondering if I can get him to turn his vitriol on me?
kislikd (840 D)

Can we come up with some t-shirt idea that put's maple's face right on the front?

@obiwanobiwan: I use similar metaphors. I often describe it as a cross between chess and poker that only resembles Risk in appearance.

I've never gotten into Survivor, but people tell me that the diplomacy part of the games are very similar.

@comrage general
would? wow, that's an odd definition of the word faggot, i think you'll find urban dictionary.com is a little more up-to-date on the jargon...
kislikd (840 D)
28 Dec 10 UTC
Actually following from his own logic, now that he told us he plays this, he looks like a faggot. Well done comrade general!

Oh and if your cookie cutter response is to return a similar retort, I'll just say that I don't mind you thinking of me as a faggot since I don't give two craps about what you think at all. Oh, and I'm probably not the homophobic one.
hellalt (70 D)
28 Dec 10 UTC
nice troll attempt kislikd.
Actually I agree with comrade.
If you tell a girl you play diplomacy your chances of scoring fall to 1% of the original ones.
If you tell a boy you play diplomacy he automatically considers you either gay or a nerd/geek or both.
It's just stereotypes.
Onar (131 D)
28 Dec 10 UTC
Not necessarily true. I taught my girlfriend to play, and she even has an account on this site.
Congratulations Onar, you found the 1%. She's a keeper!
hellalt (70 D)
28 Dec 10 UTC
1%? if that true there would be 314 female registered members here. I doubt they are more than 50 so make it 0,15% :P
kislikd (840 D)
28 Dec 10 UTC
@ hellalt - Thanks, that was my trolling cherry right there :P

My ex got into it too. She never registered here, but she loved the game. I think there are more open-minded girls out there then you think. And it helps to explain the game in the right way.
orathaic (1009 D(B))
28 Dec 10 UTC
yeah, i'm trying to narrow down my prospective g/fs to find the most suitable, so a 99% filter is probably pretty useful.
Yeah, a girl down the hall from me opened an account on this site. I don't think she uses it much though
peterwiggin (15158 D)
28 Dec 10 UTC
@hellalt
I think you're conflating 'if you tell a girl you play diplomacy, your chances of scoring become .01 of what they were before' and '1% of the users on webdiplomacy are girls.' I'm afraid that's a baseless assumption.
kislikd (840 D)
28 Dec 10 UTC
But I thought everybody loved claims with no logical backing? Isn't that what everyone does most of the time anyway? :P

Urgent sitter needed
I am leaving tomorrow morning by plane to attend a funeral and won't be able to continue my games for a few days. I was able to pause 2 of them, but the third has not been paused yet. I just don't want to CD, and this obviously was short notice. Its a 14hr phase game so I may be grasping at air here, but reply if you can help me out.

F Den M Swe?
I have read in many places that Germany will do well if Austria does well, and even better if Russia does bad.
It would make sense that bouncing Russia in Sweden in fall 1901 would do good for the germans twofold.
But unless there is a western triple, Germany has at most two more fronts to defend, and probaly does not need a new enemy.
So, Is this a good move for Germany? better for a Germany with a French Ally? English Ally?

Gunboats
What is the point of them, really? I mean, this a game called Diplomacy. If you take the communication out of it, it becomes more like Risk, doesn't it? I realize that you can communicate intentions using supports (or at least, I imagine you can) but still...

Aside from that, does it play very differently from a 'normal' game? What about either of the compared to a public press game?
