I missed a turn because of the server error.
Hi, This morning I could not log in.
"Apologies for the downtime, the server ran out of disk space. Our new disk will be configured this weekend. All games have been given extra time to compensate. Thanks for your patience."

As the result, one of my game missed a turn. Everyone else moved excepted me. What do I do now?

WebDip vs VDip
Not sure if this has already been posted here, but Gen Lee suggested a tournament between the best players here and the best players on VDip, including Classic games and variant games to give both factions some home ground to fight on.
Any of you up for it? We've already got a small team together and hopefully some of the other top VDip players will volunteer soon.

The Future of Tournaments webDip
As webDip grows, we need to relook at some of our old policies. The Mods have decided that it's time we rethink how Tournaments are done. I'm currently sitting in while most of the Mods are away, so I figured I'd get the community's input now, for them to consider when they get back.

V Web diplomacy ego's
When the site went down last night i signed up to the v web diplomacy site and checked the forum and one thread suggests that the players in the top forty are better than the top 400 here. What a bunch of tosh they are really up on themselves :(

Just came up with an opening for Italy I've never heard anyone about...
It probably has been discussed/done before but I don't think I ever heard/saw it...
Ven-Tyr, Rome-Nap, Nap-Ion.

It's not really offensive at all to Austria and it leaves open a load of possibilities... What do you think?

Has anyone seen a game glitch like this;
Newly built fleet in Moscow in World version of game, can not move to Ukraine or Arminia, can not support to hold anything, can support to move only units going to Black Sea. It's as if Black Sea is the only recognized adjacent area. by can not I mean drop down menus of locations only have Black Sea or are blank. Nothing currently in the Black Sea.

I mean, Austria had recognized the Russian danger, and acted, would have been even slightly possible. Turkey's opening was not good, then no danger threatened for Austria.

Not as bad as gameID=111710 was. Either way, for a full 18-center solo (not a 1901 multi game), that may be one of the fastest.

I had a Autumn 06 as Italy gameID=91265 with no turn 1 NMR, but seriously assisted by turn 2 NMR by Austria (scared off by my bum's rush of him) and later in '04 Russia quitting and '05 France throwing in the towel, too... I wonder the earliest solo with no NMR, though I remember one game where a player never NMR'ed, but only moved one unit randomly each turn...

yea terrible. I introduced some friends & family to diplomacy through a F-to-F game after I got my board over the holidays. They were all excited about the game and wanted to play more so I set up a private game and got some to register...well their excitement faded fast apparently.

For sure my messages had some sort of influence, but I'm guessing the main reason was that people were more pissed at the people they were fighting and preferred to not turn to face me while their mortal enemy got the last laugh by kicking them while they were down, if that makes any sense...
Well I don't see Italy needed another fleet in Rome in winter '03 for example. That's on the first sight only but I'm sure there were many other things after which they all could have seen who was the major threat for the game and acted accordingly if they were real players. People realize it even in a gunboat so if this is why classic is better then gunboat then - no thanks.
MadMarx (36299 D(G))
12 Apr 13 UTC
LOL, it's not like this was a GR Challenge game or some sort of representation of excellent play, by definition, it was a 1905 solo, it pretty much requires poor play... For some reason, however, Split Dip, I'm guessing the classic game is not disappointed you prefer gunboat! ;-)

Few of these games were legitimate solos but simply stupid plays on the part of others. Hell, I'm sure some of these were not legitimate anyway.

bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
13 Apr 13 UTC
Jamiet, there are cheaters on this site. I didn't name anyone or point out a specific game. If pointing out that games that end in 1904-06 likely have some sort of major "luck" factor or some strangely suspicious moves is so bad, let the mods know and they can dock me 50. Seriously though, shut the fuck up. I've been so vague that it's impossible for you to have a clue what I'm looking at.

I heard a legend once that MadMan once solved in Spring 1904 ... That's right I said spring! The quickest solo, and the only one to ever be determined in the spring. Ever!

Creating an EOG periodical
I got the thought that it may be nice to create a collection of some of the sites best EOGs. I figure that people could point me in the direction of some of their favourites. I could give them a quick edit (to conform their styles at least) and then release them periodically as a collection. Ultimately, it would be cool to have them stored on a navigatable website. This is just a thought though so all action, of course, is pension my laziness.

The non-variant series...
I am thinking of starting a new series (passworded) wherein the buy-in is irrelavent because the points at the end of the game go back to the original polayers and the winner/drawees get nothing extra. This would eliminate the PPSC vs. WTA arguments and their issues as it wouldn't matter (although it would still affect GR, nothing I can do about that).

Anyone up for trying this out?

Google plus hangout game?
So who's interested in a public press live game on google plus? (obviously it'd be gunboat on the site, because all communication would be done over video chat). We could broadcast the game so observers could see the conversation in real time.

I'm thinking 10 minutes per turn, Sunday afternoon at around 2PM PST.
How does that sound?
