Krellin's Peace-Loving Sweet-Talking War Game
Normally, it's a "Call Me A Dirty-So-n-So" series I advertise. But since all the kiddies are "triggered" and "scared", I offer a " safe place" in a sweet-talking Series Opener.
MODERN, Low Cost, 24 hour full press, all press must be disgustingly sweet.

Looking for a reasonably good player with at least 80 RR.
I need to replace out of a game I am in due to substantial constraints on my ability to play the game. I would like to leave the people who so graciously signed up to play and granted me a pause when I needed it with a reliable, quality player. My position is precarious but has strong solo potential.

Well much in love with Princess Crystal brainbomb you did say to Orathaic there were things you had to improve on which is a way of saying you have to change, and I don't agree with insane as a self analysis it's a copout an excuse imho. You may be eccentric, non conformist, radical, but insane..give us a break. You're intelligent so drop the code for self change, avoid escapism mixed with alcohol & a flurry of silly excess. Get a clear mind, use it.

Use it, you're intelligence to have a better life with Princess Crystal, hey and don't be afraid to talk to your doctor about this and discuss what help he might suggest. Or someone who knows you well, a wise woman you know ?

Good stuff, consider letting her initiate any contact between now and dinner or concert ( I'm not sure which comes first ) for example don't send her texts, but reply to any she sends you, ok. Your whole life can't be all about her.just yet, take it gently..make a point of putting time into something good but not connected directly with Princess Crystal between now and when you next see PC.

Well I did make a few posts that raised a few eyebrows, & was careless. It's tricky in the bwave new Fowum wiv Decowum. This no press, "gunboat" type game is an interesting beast I rarely play it but I'm in one game that I was similarly careless with when entering & didn't realise the reckless mistake & terrible sin I'd committed until it was too late. But I got my dreamboat country. Well I've spent more time on a set of spring orders than I normally would. Now the wait. Can't say more & hope that's allowable as regards talking about a game.
I dislike the comparison of love and a drug addiction. Love is wonderful, the other is ghastly, a horrorshow.
Applying his intelligence can be something as simple as "much in love" Brainbomb simply when he's on his own of making up two lists, the things he does that Princess Crystal responds to with affection, the other is the list of things be does that make PC get, well a bit sharp with her tongue maybe, much less affectionate.
..join the dots...

@"I dislike the comparison of love and a drug addiction. Love is wonderful, the other is ghastly, a horrorshow."

Look up 'the opposite of addiction is community (not sobriety)', dislike it all you want, but the brain chemistry is similar. I guess you could say addicts love their fix (actually not just drugs, oucan be addicted to gambling, or extreme sports, or lots of things).

And BB can act in ways akin to a desperate drug addict if he doesn't get his fix. ie his unrequited lover. (Not saying this is necessarily the case, just that it is possible)

Although it depends, you could make a second set of lists after thinking about what you've written in the first lists...the second set being for Princess Crystal to find where you've ineptly left them only not quite fully hidden as it were.with a doodle drawing of PC&BB as white haired old fogies in rocking chairs on a porch, with a wistful one day at a time perhaps ? enshrined beside the doodle.

Given my beastly reputation regarding l'amour & how to acquire it, no deceptive practices are allowed.when leaving items for a curious PC to find.
Similarly was a chap to think of a dream about an adult with whom he was enamoured that he might tell this adult about in his quixotic quest, then he had better make sure he has the dream before telling the other adult about the dream.
I've had many dreams about another adult so I could tell them.of their particular dream. Some adults like being occasionally dreamed about, not nasty dreams, but gentle, happy dreams. A lot of mine start out with me floating in a light blue mist, and way above me is another person floating in golden light.....

I knew a bold young chap years ago, Smiley Des. One day Smiley Des came to me with a proposition about gambling on roulette at the Casino, where I chose between red and black in as random a way as possible, and his system was in how he'd punt the chips between red black & zero ? Long time ago.
We both had to put in $Aus 400- & target was 400%/return minimum. We'd hit the Casino early in the evening sober, not drink alcohol while we were there, etc etc. We did dry runs in a shed to finesse it.
It worked beautifully, many times in a row until on our ninth or tenth crack at it we lost our stake.
After we won on those eight fabulous nights we would race to my place, hide most of our winnings and then head off to the upmarket type nightclubs.
Where we'd play another game we'd toss a coin just prior to entering the nightclub and the winner got to chose who answers questions from other adult patrons ( nightclub staffcare excluded from the deal ) truthfully and who cannot answer truthfully. Oh when Smiley Des had to be the one who could not be truthful, the fabulous concoctions. The person who had to answer truthfully had one get out clause, that came into play if he was asked to verify something the not truthful person had said.
Of course this was all.in the dim past and persons these days should behave in an honest way. Caution is advised regarding gambling.. The gambling industry makes enormous profits from people who gamble losing their money. Ignore the glamorous advertising etc. Never punt when you are even a little bit drunk.

Stupid question
I've just finished a gunboat which uses Sum-Of-Squares scoring. Wouldn't the amount of points I receive be equal to 144/(144+400+1+1)*375= 99 points? Why is it treated as a winner-takes-all game?

What exactly ends a pause?
So I'm in a game with a player who's left. A new player is willing to enter and I'm wondering what happens if we pause the game to give him some time to get settled. If all players vote to pause a game and set their moves to "Ready" will the game process? If a new player joins the game, does he have to vote "unpause" to get the game moving again? The FAQ didn't seem to have answers so I'm asking here. Thanks!

Is Mafia Taking Over Diplomacy?
I come to this website to play Diplomacy with anyone I can get to play. However, so many people play these Mafia games with such intensity that they don't want to play Diplomacy games. Perhaps someone should start a Mafia website for them.

Last Ditch Effort to Stop Donald Trump and Save the Republic
Hillary Clinton, her campaign staff and the DNC leadership failed us miserably. I for one will never forgive them for letting Trump get close to the Oval Office, but we have not lost until the Republican elites cast their Electoral College votes. We must fight to save the Republic while there is still time! Sign the petition:
