Impending Potential Awkward Moment

I have, FOR HISTORICAL INTEREST ONLY, placed a hold on "Mein Kampf." Soon, I shall have the joy of checking it out as quickly as possible and hoping nobody will see me (my library system is self check-out). Anyone else ever have the fun of getting your hands on a copy?

Where Would YOU Nuke the World?

If you had one nuke, where would you let it off?

For the sake of this "game," you cannot give the same location as someone else, and for the sake of argument, the nuke is about as powerful as the Tsar nuke.

A modern variant idea

Having played Dip in person for quite a while along with several variants of it, I have often wondered why a variant has never made the game more 'modern' while maintaining the richness of simplicity.

FirstApple (100 )
15 Aug 11 UTC

My thoughts are that a game set in the 21st century (such as our world variant here) would have not only armies and navies, but also the option of aircraft. Such unit would only be able to remain in an SC province but could 'support move' or 'support hold' an army or fleet up to two or three provinces away OR could 'cut support' of another aircraft trying to do the same thing. The down side would be that if the SC were attacked without outside support, it would not bounce but be overrun instead as it doesn't have the strength on the ground of an army or navy. Any thoughts on this?

If you want to maintain the richness of simplicity then you would make it to where they could go on any land surface and also any water...

Riphen (198 )

and only support one away..not three and stuff like that...to complicated...just make a unit that can go on land and water and he can support one unit away just like any other unit.

FirstApple (100 )

That's an idea as well though it takes away from the additional thought required to consider all the possibilities using a 'distancing support'. Still, it's a good thought.

Interesting question, usually at that point I just play Axis & Allies. I don't know if you've seen this, but there's a collection of variants here - http://www.diplom.org/Online/variants3.html

There's one called "Nuclear Diplomacy" or something that has missiles and submarines, but still not air force. Must be difficult to balance with.

FirstApple (100 )
15 Aug 11 UTC

Axis & Allies is, of course, a great game. But there is something to the simplicity of Diplomacy that is lost at that level AND the sides are already drawn. Still, having a unit that isn't on the front row that can be used for support would add a little depth and make players think a little more about their strategies.

Lol, there is plenty of strategy required in this game, but if the regular games aren't difficult enough for you start playing anon gunboat games.

FirstApple (100 )
15 Aug 11 UTC

I wasn't saying there isn't enough strategy, but it's a different 'kind' of strategy is all I meant.

Vdip has stuff like that. there are horsemen that can move two spaces, etc.

hellalt (80 )

Adding aircraft units wouldn't add more depth. It would just increase the randomness factor as it would be impossible to calculate all tactics. The game is complicated enough as it is.

Enemy in a Thread....Enemy in a GAME????

Recently learned that someone that I frequently disagree with in forum threads...you might even call him an "enemy" in the threads....took over a position in a game I was in. At first, per the normal course of Diplomacy...I tried to coordinate with him....and yet his moves were specific and aggressive....

Plumbing...

Of all home repairs, plumbing is the task that I despise *the most*. Water will always seek the easiest...and most annoying....path. I have ripped out carpet and laid down flooring, done electrical, painted, wall-papered, done gas lines....but off everything I do, **plumbing** is my nemesis. For any plumbing project, it is *three* trips, guaranteed, to the Home Despot..

What is YOUR least favorite home chore/repair?

A scenario that I'm unsure of - need explanation of results

If during spring I move an army into an SC province and then in autumn I move said army into another SC province but get bumped back from that second province, retreating back to the first SC province, would I still gain ownership of said first province even though I retreated back to it or would I, in that case, not have ownership of either SC province? Thanks for your input.
