Just making a list....

Hello WebDip. I'm making a list. If you think that feminism is harming society, or that black activists are "race-baiters," or that America's only moral obligation is to the American nation, or that anthropogenic climate change is overblown, or that laws to economically assist the poor such as a minimum wage are counter-productive to economic growth, or that "privilege" as a concept is an invention of ivory tower academics, please subscribe to my list. :D

Just got an alert on my phone that these talks broke down. Wonder if the Democrats realize the full implications of changing the rules. Like, the Supreme Court Justice John Yoo implications.

Voting in a Game

When voting for an option, does the vote need to be unanimous to pass or just a majority? Also, is there a time limit on the "Pause" option? Cheers,

Beer and Cigarettes

Companion thread to Brandy and Cigars, for the lower class of drinkers. Hehe. Personally, my favorite beers are Bell's Third Coast Old Ale, Loose Cannon's Hop3 IPA, Duchesse de Borgogne, and Unibroue's Maudite. Currently enjoying a 6 of Fuller's ESB. What beers are on YOUR must-have list?

Question on strategy

This game recently ended. It's a modern diplomacy game in which I was Germany. In the opening year's moves, I grabbed Sweden. Russia also tried to move there. I hadn't talked to Russia prior to that (which I should have), but did contact him after with an offer of peace. He demanded Sweden, which I refused to give him. I offered my help elsewhere, but he was insistent. In the end, he attacked Sweden and we were at war. It didn't end well for me, obviously, as I thought Poland was my ally and he sided with Russia, and my other two allies--England and Italy--were overrun relatively quickly.

As confrontational as Russia was being in this case, I doubt I would have avoided war even if I had given up Sweden. My question, though, is this: is it ever better to cede a supply center, especially a neutral center you haven't really taken from any other player, to keep the peace, or does this only stave off defeat for a time?

As with everything about Diplomacy, it depends on the player. In my experience, though, people who negotiate over a neutral as if you stole that SC from them are generally bent on finding an excuse to attack you anyway. You're better off either keeping it or offering it to an ally who can help you against the insistent power.

It depends on whether you can hold the neutral and your relations with other players. If my hold on the neutral is very tenuous anyways, then it's probably worth giving it up if I can gain an ally. On the other extreme, if it's a neutral that I can easily take back, I may also be willing to let another power have it for a while. In my view, however, your problem wasn't so much how you handled Russia but in that your supposed ally Poland sided with Russia and then your other allies were run over quickly. If you knew Russia was going to be attacking you, then it's essential to make sure that he's also fighting a war somewhere else.

How to survive as Austria in gunboat?

The name of the thread should be clear for everyone.
I know about Hedgehog openings, but it's tough to capitalize on them.
It's extremely hard for me to see Italy playing Lepanto, so it leaves 2 options: fighting France or Austria for Italy. And Austria is the easy one.
