Quality Live Game
I was considering starting a RP (Rulebook Press?) around 4pm EST (New York City Time). I was thinking 10 minute phases (assuming that the auto ready on retreat and builds will save us a ton of time) I would prefer if you have at least 10 games to your name and the bet will be 50 D. add your name in list format below. I will send out the Passwords at 3pm EST

Checking adjacent territories
Is there any way to check ahead of time, in any manner, if two territories are adjacent? There are some territories that seem adjacent, but I don't know if fleets can travel between them. I just don't know how to see if they are or not and don't want to take the chance they aren't and try to move somewhere only to find out the next move is impossible

Playtesting my boardgame online
Hello everyone,
version 1 of my boardgame is finished. It was brought to my attention that it's probably a good idea to test it online. Two things needed there: 1. players and
2. some sort of adjudicator to use, with which I can easily add and move around 6 unit types, factories, territory markers and 4 kinds of resources, while also keeping track of various variables (although that can be done fairly easily outside of the adjudicator).
Can you help with either of those?

New site feature: Voice chat press
Its simple you get a 7 player game public voice chat and webcam channel. So its like the closest thing to ftf Diplomacy since sliced bread. Can you imagine the look on Valis face when I build a fleet in Mar and hes in Italian Leponto. Come on webcam and voice chat would be hilarious.

Design Competition
See broadexpert.com if you want to help with the design of my start-up company. You may make some money. I'm not going to a design company for a reason though :-)

Meanwhile, I want to start a discussion: I have a debating competition coming up next week and one of the statements will be: 'High school students lack ambition'. If I'm against this statement, I thought it would be a good idea to bring up the company. I'm not sure whether that's socially acceptable though?

Claiming traitor is different from claiming mafia PR like Bo just did.
guak (3381 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
brainbomb I mean
Claesar (4660 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
@Brainb: I could get behind this, as long as there's decent reason behind the lynch. Also, I'll need to hear something from Bo before I change my vote.

It does seem more valuable to kill a lurker and/or wagonjumper, to me. They're the ones who have something to hide.
Claesar (4660 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
@Guak: Could you explain how Brainbomb claimed Mafia PR? I re-read his message twice, but couldn't find it. He says Balki might be Mafia PR. That's all I see. Care to elaborate?
brainbomb (290 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
Here are my top 5 lynch options:

5. Bo - he wants to die, or hes town. either way its cool to lynch today or tomorrow.
4. xorxes - he seemed very nervous at the early going about killing cult or masons. afraid he would be converted...?
3. ghug - hes moved down a bit because he defended all of my arguments
2. vash - I think Vash is a town PR
1. chaqa - Chaqa is either a cult, a mason, or a town PR, he planted a vote on bo's wagon and anchored.

@ guak: Not every traitor will be recruited in all likelihood, so it makes sense for traitors to play according to their *current* victory condition, surely?
guak (3381 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
'Im way more interested in getting a town PR than I am in getting a cult. the cult are 2/19 the town are 5/19. our odds are better in hunting town. Even if we dont hit a mason there is tremendous value in killing the vig or QM for us.'

This statement is only true if brainbomb is a mafia PR. A traitor does not see tremendous value in killing the vig or quartermaster at this point in the game.
Claesar (4660 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
@Jamiet: Very correct. Also, that's the rules.
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
@ guak - as Claesar just referenced, Rule 7.
Claesar (4660 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
@Guak: I see the value as well. I'd love to lynch a Town PR today.
guak (3381 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
@Jamie: yes, but at this point the traitors would be more concerned with getting rid of the cultists and mason to ensure their victory condition remain the same. Other town power roles are and should not be a major concern for traitors at this point.
brainbomb (290 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
Not true guak. For every town PR that dies its one less traitor that dies. and one step closer to victory. The vig can kill off our people every night. the QM can gun town and kill off our people rapidly. In tandem we could be losing two Maf a day before factoring in lynch. Every traitor should want us to kill the vig and QM ASAP
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
@ guak: If that analysis is true, then does your "what about the others" comment indicate a breadcrumb that you're *not* a traitor?
guak (3381 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
Also, under Rule 7 masons and cultists have more value than other town PRs for traitors. THey get the traitors closer to meeting their current victory condition.

@Claesar, that only tells me you are not a traitor or town.
guak (3381 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
@Jamie: I have not claimed anything, though you can think whatever you want. I have only pointed out that calling all town as masons is not only confusing but a huge mistake.
brainbomb (290 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
Actually tonight alone the vig can kill 2 maf members. if the QM guns successfully thats another mafia member. plus conversions. Tonight will be a bloodbath. The fact you are fishing me as a mafia PR for these statements tell me "You" arent concerned at all.

##Vote guak
delarosa (232 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
PR is this game is just weird, they can be converted, so nothing stays permanent. the way i see it, only 3 faction stands, cult, mason and mafia. Mafia getting a huge advantage of having traitors. i would say Vanilla town PR is weakest, they have no private chat and can be converted.
so strange
so technically, most of us will be fighting for mafia instead of town, and town acts like vanilla mafia just without knowing their partners and limited bullets ? lol
do correct me if i'm wrong
Jamiet99uk (808 D)

##VOTE GUAK
guak (3381 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
@brainbomb: town PRs will be trying to target other PRs, not traitors. And traitors should not care about dying as long as they are destroying masons and cultists.
guak (3381 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
You are both retards. Go ahead and waste your votes.
y2kjbk (4846 D(G))
05 Jan 16 UTC
i reiterate again how no one should be claiming traitor
brainbomb (290 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
You just encouraged the traitors to focus on a option yielding smaller odds of success, and additionally are fishing for PR's. Traitors should be thrilled to see any Town PR flip.
OB_Gyn_Kenobi (888 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
Maniac: "Whilst I'm still holding off from voting the obvious vote right now would be OB_Gyn-kenobi. If I were a Mason I'd be keen to kill a cult leader."

Maniac, since at this time both Town (incl masons) and Mafia are, IMO, equally incentivized to kill a cult leader, your logic that I must be a mason because I am eager to lynch a cult leader is flawed. Tomorrow it might not be flawed logic, but in the current game state it is. There are two alignments that anyone could be if they want a cult leader lynched and the chance of that player being Mafia-aligned is about 71%, which far exceeds the chance that that player is town-aligned.
guak (3381 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
@brainbomb: saying I am not concerned at all and voting to lynch me is clearly the action of a vindictive mafia PR. You should know what me being not concerned at all means. But apparently the simple concepts escape you.
brainbomb (290 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
You have jeopardized our cause with these comments.
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
That is because it is not his cause, brainbomb. My vote is staying put on guak.
guak (3381 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
Also, you are lying about the odds. The odds of lynching mason or PR are 4/19 while 3/19 for other town PRs. So the odds of success are actually smaller going after what you propose than after what I propose.
Claesar (4660 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
I disagree with Guak's logic, but I don't see how that makes him a lynch target..

Well, I'll be back in a few hours to try to restore the sanity..
brainbomb (290 D)

5 Town:
2x Masons
1x Tracker
1x Quartermaster
1x Vigilante


thats 5/19 not 4/19

Who are you trying to confuse?

Russian Opening to Silesia Spring '01
This opening has become a little personal favorite of mine, (if I am Russia, France or Italy) and am wondering if anyone has thoughts, experience, or tactics to share about it. Convincing Russia to do it if you are France or Italy can be difficult -- but well worth it for all involved. You need an imaginative Russian though.
