An excellent time for people here to assert their rights. More than anything else, Snowdengate serves as a test of our commitment to the rule of law. http://www.restorethefourth.net/

Which map is the best? Post your opinion and why!
My personal favourite is the Fall of the American Empire due to just the mass amount of land but not quite as expansive as World Diplomacy. The only downfall of this map is there is just too many people needed to ever get a live game going.

If I type a message longer than ~4 lines the text box covers the "Post New Thread" button. Is anyone else having this problem? Can anything be done about it?

What happened to the Wait For Orders option?
New games don't have "No moves received options: Wait for all players"

What happened? Is it ever coming back? Is it possible for mods to enable it for a special rules series of games?

Game delay
So when your game status is Now in red. Why does the game not just process to next phase and leave players who have not committed to their orders out of luck.

Elements of "customary" Diplomacy
In addition to the rules themselves, which are fundamental, what are the "customary" expectations of the Diplomacy game which, though not encoded in the rules, are generally expected? E.g. try to stop a solo, etc. What else?

No profanity.
tendmote (100 D(B))
30 Jun 13 UTC
@Gen. Lee "no profanity" is not an example, because it's not really observed. People cuss a lot around here. I'm thinking about things that have emerged in gameplay, are generally observed, and not explicitly in the rules. "Customs" I guess is the right word.

Octavious (2701 D)

I don't think there are any. I guess the majority of players have their own set of additional rules they like to stick to, but they tend to vary hugely from player to player.
Octavious (2701 D)
30 Jun 13 UTC
As we can gather from this thread 2wl rarely bites, and krellin goes on regular fucking breaks. I believe the Czech Republic is the destination of choice for this in Europe. I'm guessing for the USA it's Mexico.

Rule No. 1: Never agree to demands unless due respect and reverence has been appropriately demonstrated.

@Octavious... interesting... what else... reveal...
Talk.....a lot....send chat unless it's gunboat. Freaks me out when I get into a game and nobody is talking to me.
Global chat is for propaganda....make use of this generous propaganda tool. It's the same as when the moves are revealed in a F2F game.
If you haven't played a f2f game, when moves are reavealed, everyone comes back and makes baseless accusations. It's a lot of fun.

Never close communications with a player, no matter how badly they speak to you or have treated you game-wise. Always be willing to listen and discuss.
TOgilvie (845 D)
01 Jul 13 UTC
Yeah, keeping open avenues of communication is essential. Attempting not to lie is one of mine; I might use weasel words or withhold some of the truth, but if I can turn around and say 'I never said I wouldn't move such-and-such', so much the better.

A personal one of mine: Any agreement with another player is automatically abrogated if the player misses a turn.

Rules Question
I have three units -- A B and C. A and B are supporting C.
Can C also support A so I'd be covered with the power of three if someone attacks C and the power of 2 if someone attacks A instead?

What to do about a glitch?
First, this forum layout is terrible. Holy hell.

Second, in my game we had a glitch - two armies didn't have their orders processed. They both just sat there - and both are sure that they put in orders. What do we do about getting this thing fixed?

New Modern Diplomacy II game/ New Fall of America game
I would like to play either (or even both) of these 'new' variants, in a full press mode. Ideally the phases would be 2 days but 36hours plus is fine. Beyond that I don't care for anon/non-anon, points or even who plays - just thought it would be nice to give these maps a go if there are any takers!
