I would love to get your thoughts on possible variants:

(a) Standard game but with a fleet in Rome;
(b) Wildcard variant - once the countries have been distributed, each player can elect to build either a fleet or an army on any domestic coastal territory (and in the case of Saint-Petersburg can elect on which coast to build a fleet).

Introducing friends to the game

Hello all. Long time no see. I'm looking to introduce three of my friends to the game and am looking for three reliable friendly players to help in their first game. I have prepped them on the site rules. The game will be not anonymous ( I think this is easier when learning) and will be 36 hour phases starting next week. Post if interested. Thanks

Possible meta-gaming?

There's a public game I'm currently in and another player mentioned that two players from this particular game have played a ton of public games together. When we asked, they admitted to being friend outside of the game. Isn't that against the rules? Thanks for clarification.

vDiplomacy.com and WebDiplomacy.net

there's the vDiplomacy site where you can play more variations of diplomacy. Does that site have any correlation to WebDiplomacy? And if it does should my webdiplomacy account work there too? I tried to log in with this account but it didn't work. Thanks for help.

Annie Get your Gunboat

We should call this a draw guys. Game prob never should've made it this far.

ooh... Russia that Bastard. Looks kinda like it should draw, sorry Turkey.

wjessop (100 )

Is it really allowed to talk like this about that game? I don't think so...

Ranscott47 (2874 )
20 May 15 UTC

Game ID=161020 Annie Get your Gunboat OK, maybe Italy doesn't deserve to be in the draw but Turkey, Fra, England, and I aren't going to allow you a cheap win in this one. Cheap because of Russia.

Very disappointed in this game. First Turkey refused to cancel. Then I help set up the stalemate line only to get thrown under the bus. Thanks guys

Brankl (231 )

Not too late to cancel. Especially with a bet of 35

Ranscott47 (2874 )
20 May 15 UTC

Okay. I suppose it isn't allowed to talk like this about the game but Turk kept wanting a pause. Wanted to know what that was all about.

Ranscott47 (2874 )
20 May 15 UTC

I voted cancel right from the start when Russia was absent.

Brankl (231 )

So did almost all of us (glares at Turkey)

It's an ongoing game...

Slightly hypocritical to moan about sportsmanship if you are talking about an ongoing "no press" game. When I joined, the rules said that should not happen...

Brankl (231 )

When this ends, I want to talk to Turkey about what made him think it was okay to take advantage of us like that .

Okay, it's fucking over. What he hell wjessop? You think you can fucking get away with that shit? And

wjessop (100 )

"When this ends" being the key phrase there.

I drew the game...but what is the point to have "gunboat" games if you all talk on the forum anyway??

Brankl (231 )

What's the point of having games if someone will take advantage of you as soon as his neighbor NMRs?

Brankl (231 )
20 May 15 UTC

Everyone else wanted to cancel. Don't you feel a little guilty about making us play because you had an unfair advantage you wanted to capitalize on?

Ranscott47 (2874 )
20 May 15 UTC

I tend to agree with Branki but that said, I suppose there's no way to make someone agree to a draw if they choose not to.

Ranscott47 (2874 )
20 May 15 UTC

Sorry you didn't get in the draw Branki. You probably deserved to

Brankl (231 )

Earlier this month there was a forum discussion about it. Many, myself included, expressed interest in a easier way to cancel games that are still in the year 1901.

Thanks Ranscott. I'm not as upset about the draw as I am that wjessop tried to win after a 1901 NMR

wjessop (100 )

@Brankl:
Firstly. Don't talk to me on sportsmanship when you are discussing on the forum about live games that are meant to have no communication. I don't take lectures from hypocrites.

Secondly. Don't wash linen in public. Talk about it in the game chat room, that is why it's there.

Thirdly. For your sake, I will post what I posted in the game lobby:
04:01 AM I agree it was a crap game. Russia was only gone the first turn but it did swing things for me greatly.
04:01 AM I did put up my votes until Russia came back, then brought them down.
04:03 AM I was in the other live "gunboat" game running at the same time and a similar thing happened, Italy left at a critical point and I also put up my draw/cancel votes but no one else did, just taking advantage. I thought it was probably the same pool of guys in both games, and figured if they could take advantage of me there, I might as well take some advantage here.

Ranscott47 and Brankl,

You have each been docked 10% of your points for violating limited press rules. Please do not discuss gunboat games by any means until they are completed.

Solve homelessness? Give them homes!

I found this very interesting, and it's a nice and efficient way of approaching the problem of homelessness. Until now the thinking went that giving the homeless homes was a joke and wouldn't solve anything except cost the government even more. As it turns out, providing homes for the homeless is not only a humane choice and improves their lives, it actually saves the government money. A money driven initiative with a positive human impact :)

15 years later...

Yes, 15 years since I last played Diplomacy, though already using electronic judge thru email.
I want now to resume and relearn the game. I have already re-read rules.
Anyone willing to have a slow, patient and didactic game for rookies?
