New Variant Trials Finished
Even though it wasn't a actual tournament or anything and the games were originally 'wait for ready up' and that stopped halfway through leading to a lot of cds... i figured as they've all come to an end i would post the "results" anyway

"Shut Down" Bullshit by Obama
If we don't Federal Workers to man the WWII memorial...how come we have enough to pay the guards to put up barricades and stand guard to prevents WWII vets from visiting? How come Obama still seems to have staff at his *golf course*?

Seems Barrack Dickhead Obama has a very selective vision of what "shut down" means...

DEBT CEILING NEGOTIATIONS
If nobody has ever negotiated on the Debt Ceiling, as Obama and the intellectually vacant around here say, …then how did we get Sequestration after the Debt Ceiling negotiations in 2011. Sequestration was *Obama’s* plan, by the way.

How very little intellectual integrity exists within you morally perverted Democrats…

Rank Questions
So how long does a player remain a Political Puppet and then move on to Member, Experienced, etc?

Is it a matter of how long you've played or how many times you've won or drawn? Or is it just based on time spent on the site? Just curious. Thanks for your help....

Diplomacy for the slow and old
Any interest in a 3 to 4 day phase game? I'd definitely want WTA, but buy-in, anonymity, and map (classic or modern) are up for debate. Drop a line and your preferences if interested. Thanks.

was lincoln great for our elite?
bill still seems to think the elite wanted to divide america so lincoln was a problem for them. but i am not so sure. lets say he did not declare war on the south and let the south kick out the norths military from their territory, would that have really benefited them much?

College Life
So a couple months ago I asked the WebDip community for advice for college. Many of you said that joining a frat would be a good idea, and at the very least I should check it out.
Well, on October 7th I am pledging to Theta Chi; are there any soon-to-be fellow frat mates on WebDip? What other fraternities are people a part of?

Fog of war variant
Correct me if there is already one, but wouldn't it be cool to have a variant with 'fog of war'? You would only be able to see enemy units in territories neighbouring your own territory/armies. The uncertainty would make things very interesting.. perhaps with additional distance limitations on conversation as well

GUNBOAT TOURNAMENT
As has been mentioned, I am hoping to run a gunboat tournament. I intend it to be basic but also comprehensive. I will detail some "things" below. I would like to get a read on who would be interested in playing.

The final round will determine a winner by most number of solo wins. The tie-break will be total centres (counting equally from draws and survives).

If you require a pause, please e-mail @ webdipmod feel free to cc myself or zultar. Do not vote pause.

Hello folks,

One of the participants has found himself in a situation where he will be unable to finish the games, so we're going to replace him with another well performing member of the tournament.

We will pause all the games shortly after this announcement and do the switch. We are going to try to do it in such a way that it won't give away who's been replaced or who has taken over which country in each game. This is important to me, so I will get the mods to try to do their (our) best. We hope that it will have minimal disruption to the games, but if something goes wrong big time, Lando and I have agreed to cancel the games and start fresh (I hope that this does not happen).

Please do not ask who the member being replaced is or who is replacing him. I want to protect the anonymity of the players as much as I can (until one of the games finishes). I also want the games to continue smoothly. I have discussed the situation with Lando as well as one of the mods so that we have consensus.

If there are any problems, please PM me.
Should be added that the plan of switching out the player will be done in a way to ensure that the cross-game anonymity, irregardless of who the players are, will also be maintained.
ava2790 (232 D(S))
09 Jul 13 UTC
Hahahahahahahaha
I think the games should be canceled immediatly in that case.It's only 1902/03.
ava2790 (232 D(S))
09 Jul 13 UTC
In all seriousness, I kind of agree with Split on this point. It will also save the mods what sounds like hours of trouble to maintain anonymity and what of the poor guy who is going to take over some idiot's bad positions?

But it is rather amusing how this tournament manages to get longer and more complicated at every turn.
Gen. Lee (7588 D(B))
09 Jul 13 UTC
I completely disagree. Play on.

I was seriously hoping that my other post before would be my last one before the end, but alas, that is not to be.
I am also fine with starting over, but I would prefer a consensus.

So, so far:
Split-start over
ava2790-start over

What about:

Lando Calrissian

Don't really care at this point, I'm fine with whatever.
Gen. Lee (7588 D(B))
09 Jul 13 UTC
I don't know why we would start over. There should be no disruption to games, the replacement should play the hand of the player that originally earned their way in.
ava2790 (232 D(S))
09 Jul 13 UTC
And why shouldn't he be able to start the game with his own choices for alliances and attacks?
y2kjbk (4846 D(G))

Because he didn't earn a spot in the final in the first place?
ava2790 (232 D(S))
09 Jul 13 UTC
He did earn the next in line position. It's not his fault somebody decided to quit at the beginning of the next round.
Gen. Lee (7588 D(B))
09 Jul 13 UTC
+1 y2k, most of all it is not our fault that someone quit at the beginning.
I think playing on makes the most sense assuming zully can get things done without us knowing which power in each game was replaced.
