Classic 1898 Variant adaptation
I do the adaptation for 1898 variant. Who knows the author of the variant to mention him in the description. Or it's Hasbro itself?

Do unrated 1v1 games affect ELO ratings?
Unrated games return the points, but does it also not affect the ELO?

Does Empire4 (Fall of the American Empire) need to be balanced?
Unless most other Diplomacy maps, Empire4 is not very balanced and a few nations have severe disadvantages that make it very difficult for them to win while others are fairly overpowered. I can explain more if someone wants to ask.

Rival/hatred game variant
I'd like to play a game mode where each player is secretly given a unique rival (so no two players share a rival), and the only players counted at the end of the draw are those who have both survived and eliminated their rival. A solo doesn't need to eliminate their rival and rivals aren't necessarily symmetrical.

Unknown Player in Anonymous Private Game
I'm completely new to Diplomacy and this website. I made a private game and explained to my friends how to join my private match. Though only 2 people say they've joined, I have 3 anonymous players other than myself registered. Is it possible one of them joined twice? I know by the time stamps that it was one of the first two players who joined the game, the times are only a minute apart, and I am wondering if the small time frame is just a player joining twice.

Vale Hugh Hefner
Hugh Hefner dies at age 91. A controversial character, extremely successful businessman, championed some Liberal causes, gay rights, marriage equality, Native American rights, gave many authors a break, eg Alex Haley, but also it has to be said, contributed to the objectification of women and exploited women for financial gain.
Octavious (2732 D)

He may have been an internationally famous multimillionaire businessman who lived in a mansion surrounded by nubile young women... but was he happy?

The punchline to that joke is of course he bloody was, but in all honesty I wouldn't want to swap my life for his. I could be wrong with my assumptions. His relationships may well have been deep and meaningful. But on the face of it it seems to be quite a lonely existence.
MajorMitchell (1605 D)
29 Sep 17 UTC
He had, I think four children, so it's possible that his strongest emotional relationships were with them. As you wrote Octavious, it's easy for us to be wrong in assumptions we might make. I think Hugh was like most of us, he had virtues and faults, probably enjoyed happiness, but also experienced sorrows. In business he was a pioneer of "brand development".. Ahead of Richard Branson and Trump, the Nike chap etc. What is his influence on the USA ? Culturally ? He started his publishing career in the early 1950's, and the World and the USA were much different then to today.
MajorMitchell (1605 D)
29 Sep 17 UTC
Or did he simply "ride/exploit the cultural changes" more than influence them ?
Fluminator (1500 D)

I'm sad he died because I'm always sad when someone dies, but I'm also sad for all the women he used and abused for his gain.
MajorMitchell (1605 D)
29 Sep 17 UTC
I suspect there might be a difference in views about Hugh between older generations who remember the world before the great changes in the 1960's & 1970's and younger generations who simply have no idea just how culturally repressive "Western nations" were before those changes.

MajorMitchell (1605 D)
29 Sep 17 UTC
You're entitled to your opinion, but I think that's a simplistic / one dimensional view & perhaps innacurate. Hugh was a Pornographer, not a pimp, imho.

Pornography is a net negative to society. Calling him that doesn't make him much better.

That's an interesting response Leon, I thought you were opposed to government interference in business and the media, a supporter of "free speech" and the "individual's rights to choose for themselves"
leon1122 (190 D)
30 Sep 17 UTC
What does this have to do with the government. As far as I'm aware, Hugh Hefner wasn't a politician. I do of course support free speech; I just find the content of his speech (and actions) to be degenerate. I'm not sure where you got the latter quote from.
MajorMitchell (1605 D)
02 Oct 17 UTC
Well Hugh certainly crossed legal swords with Conservative elements of Governments in the USA, at State and Federal levels. I've watched a couple of documentaries broadcast just after his death. It's like there was a "Playboy Hefner" and an intellectual, social activist Hefner.
leon1122 (190 D)

The playboy Hefner is him being a degenerate. The social activist Hefner is him spreading degeneracy.

[Suggestion] Alternate winning conditions
vDiplomacy has a way to set up "alternate winning conditions", e.g. to customize how many turns are played and/or how many SCs need to be conquered before a winner is declared. For example, we can have a game of Classic running for 14 turns (Fall 1907).

FFS WHY?
Why does online Diplomacy give me Germany to start with in every single game I sign up for?
Seriously, does it use region-based IP-checking? Because I'd really like to try out different countries and strategies.
And no, taking over Leavers doesn't count because you always get a losing position way past the point of getting a proper strategy rolled out (that's why the original player threw the game)
