webDip Face To Face 2015
Back in 2011, a dozen or so webDippers met in Boston for a Face to Face tournament. Some of the best players on the site, including Babak, MadMarx, and TheWizard, competed against familiar and yet at the same time new players. I will again be hosting a F2F tournament in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the Summer of 2015. This requires great effort and several dedicated people to coordinate, but it is well worth it. Details will be forthcoming, but for now: Enjoy to F2F! GO! GO! GO!

I'm working of a Glossary for WebDip here:

Help me gather terms and definitions.

I will be combing the forum for terms and definitions. You can help by adding some here. Definitions must be non-controversial and free of opinion. I can help with wording if needed.

Thanks!

Seems to me Jim is asking for terms more or less specific to the WebDip website rather than to the game Diplomacy.

I think I'm going to start with terms specific to WebDip, and then expand from there as seems fitting. We may not want the glossary to get too huge -- it's primarily to serve the newb.

Gaza (n) - a complicated, multifaceted, dangerous situation in the Middle East that requires no less than a dozen different threads for discussion yet half of Americans probably couldn't locate it on a map.

Breadfruit (n) - a fruit(?) that Thucy ate for lunch the other day.

The Congo (n) - a region down there in central Africa where locals have been known to eat people. WebDiplomacy users recommend that you don't go there.

Live game (n) - a Diplomacy game with <1 hour phases but generally limited to 5 minutes per phase. Live games are generally important enough to warrant separate threads for each game.

Mod (adj) - slang term for British youth subculture of the mid 1960s.

Mod (n) - a temporary administrative position on WebDiplomacy. Players become mods through a rigorous tryout process and must possess several important qualities, including tact, skill in Diplomacy, level-headedness, and an ability to please nobody. Mods are usually expected to set aside three to four months to moderate the site before quitting.

Libtard (adj) - I don't really know what this word means.

Whore (n) - a man or woman who exchanges sex for money.

Whore, +1 (n) - a player who exchanges sex for +1s. SEE ALSO: zultar

Metagame (v) - the act of exchanging sex for alliances.

Metagamer (n) - a player who knowingly plays a public game with one or more friends but its totally cool because Germany and Turkey is a natural alliance and they would have worked together anyway.

Boyhood (n) - a movie you should probably see.

Tournament (n) - a poorly organized, terribly run contest involving multiple entrants and consisting of a series of matchups in order to determine the best contestant of the group of entrants. Tournaments may consist of Diplomacy players, movies, authors, or your favorite vegetable.

Ghost Rating (n) - PG-13, 74% on Rotten Tomatoes

six hour phase (n) - a popular phase length option on WebDiplomacy SEE ALSO: suicide

thirty six hour phase (n) - the default phase length on WebDiplomacy.

FTF (n) - an acronym for "face to face", which refers to a live, in person game of Diplomacy. Most purists consider FTF the only way to play Diplomacy. It is not recommended that a FTF game consist of thirty six hour phases.

Dip Points (n) - a method of currency on WebDiplomacy. Players are given 100 Dip Points upon signup and can only enter games for which they can afford the entry fee. Many users mistakenly believe that there is a correlation between points and skill. This is false. SEE ALSO: jmo1121109, bo_sox48, President Eden

WTA (adj) - an acronym for "winner take all", which is one victory condition option on WebDiplomacy that for some reason is not the default setting.

PPSC (adj) - an acronym for "Diplomacy for retards"

Good job 2WL, but you forgot one.

Playdip (n)- A separate diplomacy site much like the Congo. It was created from the DNA of webdip, but for a long period of time refused to acknowledge its origins. However, eventually it did acknowledge them and attempts to rival webdip for members and good diplomacy play. It is also known to make people pay to play more than three diplomacy games and has hard to read maps. Webdip has taken numerous "refugees" from the site who are now happy here. From time to time, disgruntled webdippers threaten to leave for playdip, which is usually followed by laughs from all parties involved.

Screw the ready button. For me it serves a nice decorative function. The only time I will use it is if I am being eliminated. No sense in someone holding up a game they will no longer be a part of.

Newbie Advice
Hey! I'm new to the game but have already fallen in love with it! I have a question though. So far I have just kept on playing but I generally get defeated fairly early. I've tried reading some articles I googled and it seems to be helping a little. Do you guys have any advice for a newbie like me to get better? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
