Taking over a country in Civil Disorder

When you take over a country, anyone have any pointers? I suppose the first thought is to look at the board and see if there's any chance of surviving, but beyond that, any advice?

When you take over a country, can you real all the diplomacy that went on before with the prior player?

Which are the records by country?

Is there a compiled list of which country wins most often? Which loses most often, which survives, etc? Seems like easy information to pull from a database.

How did I manage to drop out the game???

I was in the game 'duality' as England and suddenly I was out of the game ...how could this happen? I certainly did not miss three phases (I don't know if I even missed one?). Is this some kind of bug?

Now I find that someone has claimed my place in the game already. Would there be any chance to get back into game??

suggestion to make retreat phase quicker

I am currently in a game that is waiting on one more country to retreat. However, the retreating unit has no options and must be destroyed. Is it possible for the program to recognize that fact and just inform the player the unit is being destroyed? Instead, our game is being delayed hours. I know other games have dealt with this situation also. Maybe this could be added to the next version of the game.

should the united states get a name?

sorry, but i feel quite insulted that people refers to the united states as "america" when "america" consists of many nations from argentina to canada... and is more shameful when the US has become such a corrupted and criminal nation in an international level.

i think is time that the US gets a real name for their country... how about if they change it to something short for "police squad of the world"? no,i dont think so...then the world will feel insulted.

but really, get a name!

A bit higher stakes??

Hey, anybody interested in getting a game going with something above 100 ante? Say, 120? 150? Points per SC is fine, I just want to play with some more experienced diplomats, and the only games I see filling up are the 10 pointers...

So yeah, anybody down for something above 100??

very diplomacy relevant topic

since this game is based off of world war 1
I thought it would be insightful to look at the war itself, or rather it's causes

now something I find very funny that a nationalist started the whole war, with the assassination. And even then it only started because nationalism was so strong in many European countries.

So what do you think about nationalism?

Speed game

Anyone in for a speed game? This is a game where all players are online for a certain amount of time, at least an hour, and moves are finalised fast. I would like to set a max time of finalising of 5 mins. If I can find 6 other players for tomorrow afternoon, between let's say 12 and 16, I'll set up.

Best names

Let's see if we can come up with a list of players with especially good names. After we get a decent list together we can vote. Let's try by saying each player may nominate up to three other names that they think are especially creative, funny, etc.

I'll start with (in no particular order):
1) Feckless Clod
2) Figlesquidge
3) Kestas ;)

Devil May Care 666/111

6 point game, come beat up on me. For the second time now I have been put down to almost 0 points, and phpDip has kindly renewed me back to 100 points. It must be a benevolent universe! Which is good, because apparently I am terrible at this Diplomacy stuff, hence hitting single digits a couple times now...
The first time I got 100 points after losing a game, I thought it was a glitch and didn't make a fuss, the second time it happened I figured it must be a for-real thing.
Anyway, join my game and dominate the kid-who-cant-win-but-still-logs-on-ten-times-a-day.

Best film for diplomatic skills...?

Any suggestions?

I will start the ball rolling with the obvious Godfather I,

and I expect to see eponymous films about Aleander and Ghengis mentioned...

But which would you say is a must for us to watch and learn from?

I have to suggest the world renowned classic "Snakes on a Plane". As John Stewart has pointed out the #1 threat to passengers on flights within the United States.

Its not a movie but the TV show "The Tudors" is entertaining to watch and has a lot of intricate diplomacy on many levels throughout.

Henry VIII was of course the king in a very turbulent time internationaly. The series also focuses on a lot of the drama within the courts as he is attempting to legalize a divore with Catherine of Aragon, there are also multiple people executed treason not including the suicide of the corrupt Cardinal Wolsey (After being 'stabbed' by Cromwell, Boleyn, Norfolk, and Suffolk)

The power of the Catholic Church and in particular the pope was waning with the rise of Lutheranism in France. War between England and France is beaten around, and the Holy Roman Empire 'stabs' England by releasing the French king after a battle without consulting them.

This is all of course before the reformation and King Henry forcing the divorce on Queen Catherine.

Not a fill, but Aristophanes' "The Clouds" is the best play I know relating to rhetoric, an essential part of diplomacy

Not a movie but a show: 24. Watching that makes you question everyone and its all about knowing what they want and how to get what you want.

"12 Angry Men", it's an old film, but it's a pretty good example of Diplomacy, persuasion, and rationality vs. fallacious reasoning.

It's about a jury, almost unanimous in their decision of guilty, but through the careful nudging of one man, they slowly but surely all have a change of heart. Whether the boy is guilty or not in reality is not revealed, and is not the most important piece of information either.

I believe it was I CLAVDIVS... ;) Never seen it, always missed it when it was re-run. I should...

I want to see the Rome series too (just reading the book)...

But my vote must now go to 12 Angry Men - a very very good call...

Addressed primarily to Pandora, or those like minded.

Is black and white reporting, as in video journalism, less or more emotionally disturbing than colour? I vote colour is more delivering to humanitys wake up call. Dead bodies in a doco do not do anything compared to a colour version of the same... Thoughts?

Account

Allo all, just getting this known ASAP - this is a second account, my first is Shisuren. The only reason for this account is because I can't seem to log in with the other name while at work - so this is my 'play on lunchbreak' account (probably). Not even sure I'll have enough time, but if I do, I'd like to play a little bit. Neither account will be in any game with the other, period.. Ever. Etc.

Again, this account's only here because I can't log into the other one. Don't know whether I'll be able to play often, but I'll at least be able to keep up with one game and just play from home (Shisuren will be inactive if I've got an active game going in this account).

Thanks =)
