It seems that we all compete against each other yet know so little about each other outside of WebDiplomacy. In this thread, we'll all state something interesting about ourselves.

For me, I collect coins.

Bobby Fischer on chess
"[Capablanca] wanted to change the rules already, back in the twenties, because he said chess was getting played out. He was right. Now chess is completely dead. It is all just memorization and prearrangement. It’s a terrible game now. Very uncreative." from a radio interview, 2006

Thoughts?

Live world game
Would anyone on the site be interested in playing a live game of world diplomacy? Ive never been in a live version of the variant but I think it would be very exciting and much better than an average live game, I understand it could probably take a lot longer to play than usual live games to but just want to see if members of the site are up for playing one?

It's been attempted before, but the logistics of organizing such a game are just too challenging. I doubt anyone would want to join one with you anyway, considering your 67% resign rate.

Well the resign rate would definitely do it too, but I find the world map to be unbalanced. It usually just comes down to taking your continent and drawing from there, and dogpiling on the people in the middle
Arcangel.7 (0 DX)
10 Aug 12 UTC
But in world dip there is no middle and I'm sorry about resign rate I tend to start live games in a sensible time for a different time zone so it gets complicated and I do prefer live games I have on/off phases of playing the game and will rarely make consistent orders for a normal game, that's why I'd really like to do a live world game to try out the actual logistics of a world game
Alex987 (174 D)
10 Aug 12 UTC
Technically there is no middle but the connection of Africa, Europe and Asia in one landmass and the short movement of fleets without long convoys makes it the middle of the map. Crossing the Pacific is very difficult, and requires large convoys, while the Atlantic is easier, attacking the middle, and moving on land in Asia is easier, attacking the middle.

Okay, point taken so you would say there is little point in a live world game?
It would be hard to make the game and issue 48 orders in a single 10 or 5 minute slot.

Arcangel - unless your live game attitude chamges and you start giving enough time to your games, you are going to find yourself only playing newbs as the experienced players desire respect from their opponents and CDs are completely disrespectful to the other players in the game. They ruin the fun for whoever is left and significantly alter the balance of the game so that what might have been a draw can suddenly become an easy and unstoppable solo.

yes... well the sad thing is that you cant delete accounts, id love a clean slate, the main problem for me is being on a different time zone to the majority of the site's players-+

Really, what time zone? Some of us do stuff outside our expected times and play late late night or early morning.

We have a ton of European players just one or two timezones away from you. Also, if you are available for the same hour everyday, set up a non-live "live" game with an agreement between all players to finalize turns quickly until somebody needs to run. Then you just spread the live game over two or three days. It is an honor system thing. Get a few more games under your belt without CDing and that percentage will drop.

You still have one resign that is going on. Jump back in and finish the game. It will wipe the resign from your record and show the other players you have some respect for them after all.

yeah, im playing to be more consistent now and am actually in a few long term games for once, just getting into the swing of things. Dont even care if i am defeated im just trying to get the resign rate down

Most players lose on some level at least 50% of the time. It is a game and losses happen. But resigns don't have to. You control them. Not the other players.
