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?

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.

And of course 130 to join. Is PPS 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??

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.

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!

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??

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?

a great new game has started and it is called "The Enemy Within".
The game title is in honor of one the best rock bands of all time; Rush.

and yes!!! im going to see them in concert tonight in san juan!!

join now to the game and by doing this u will support Rush to the rock hall of fame. ;0)

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.

what do you think about the united states of america?

land of the free and home of the brave?
or an indigenous holocaust and the home of the slaves?

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 ;)

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.

WTA (obviously)

I would like to get a game set up with my office mates. It is possible to hide the user names during the game.

Thanks

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?

Is there a way to see who has the fewest games, and most wins from them? Or is this reflected in ones rating?

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?

Should a convoy where the navy is attacked still work? i was thinking no, but it worked for france convoying into north africa in spring 1905.

hello all-

i just wanted to let everybody know that i am going on vacation from tomorrow (4/11) to 4/21. there is no promises that i will be able to get to a computer, but i will try my best. to all of my allies, i am sorry. to all of my enemies, youre welcome. talk to everyone later.

I posted this in another thread which is now drowning in crap. I genuinely want to hear people's arguments for and against, so forgive me the indulgence of re-posting.

If a standoff occurs in an occupied province, is any support the army or fleet in the province is giving cut?

If I were to enter all my orders in and make them complete, but just not finalize them, would they still go through at the end of the phase, or do you need to finalize them for them to be processed?

Just click on my name and we will get it started.

kestas, i just wanted to let you know if someone hasnt already that on the logon screen, you spelled "permanently" wrong... great job on the site, btw. ;-)

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 =)
