Modern Dip League
Or at least one game where people are reliable.
kahudd2000 (157 D)

I love modern dip, but noticed the games are often plagued with CDs, so I want to make a league of people who want to play the game.

Anon, full press, 24 hour turns, 75% RR, 5 D bet

People in so far

Can you please expand on what you mean by a "league"?
kahudd2000 (157 D)
28 Jul 15 UTC
I don't know if there is another definition in common use on this site, but I simply mean a group of people who want to join up and keep a game going.

So we're going for one game and hoping for no CDs, and then after that, the people who want to play in the next game would be the first to get the passwords to the next game.

Welcome aboard Manwe, you are always to play with (though this will be anon).

Two things that stick out in my mind about the game are 1) lots of neighbors, so there is more communicating to do 2) you can build from any SC you own, so you can get a "second life" by taking over new territories, even if your home bases get wrecked.
kahudd2000 (157 D)
28 Jul 15 UTC
I really find both of those features to be a lot of fun.

My new way of rolling is play several gunboats of classic at once and then get in modern dip for full press. If we can have a regular, fairly reliable game going that will only make it more fun.
TrPrado (461 D)
28 Jul 15 UTC
I'm pretty sure Yanik also had to disclose that he and I know each other, if that's cool with everyone.
kahudd2000 (157 D)

Well, as long as we stay anon in the game play, seems fine to me.

Note: There's a long-running tournament on this site called "The Leagues" which is why there may be confusion. I might recommend "club"?

There used to be a club of reliable live game players, this seems analogous to this but for the Modern Variant rather than Live Games.
kahudd2000 (157 D)
28 Jul 15 UTC
Thanks Valis.

The first game is called "Rocko's Modern League," but if we get the second game, etc going we'll probably call it Rocko's Modern Club to avoid confusion.

I ran a high-quality Modern game a while back. While it wasn't entirely free of NMRs and the like, it was pretty good.

The high-quality American game went even better. ;)

On a first glance, that board doesn't seem balanced to me. Is it still under development? Or I am completely wrong?

"The high-quality American game went even better. ;)"

I beg to differ.
kahudd2000 (157 D)
28 Jul 15 UTC
Would you like to play in our game, Tasnica? Two players haven't signed up yet, and since it is anon I don't know who.

You could classy the joint up.

stats on Vdip seem to indicate that modern dip can be less "fair" to some countries than even Austria and Italy in classic dip.

But looking at it in the short run any country can win. And looking at in the long run, you'll play your fair share of both power and weaker countries.

I enjoy the modern dip map and I am on this site for the social aspects anyway.
Tasnica (3366 D)

@Kahudd: Thanks for the invite, but I'm planning to take a break once the Modern Gunboat Tournament finishes. I'm mostly on the forums because I'm waiting for the World Cup to end.
kahudd2000 (157 D)

Is there anyone else who wants in? We have one spot left.

RR 75%. 24 hour turns. Anon. Full Press.
kahudd2000 (157 D)
29 Jul 15 UTC
I see now that someone wasn't able to join because of the RR, so we need a player.

We have 9 signed up for a modern dip game. If it goes well, we'll try to make it a standing club/game/organization. But right now, we just need some one to get the game going.

PM me for the password.
kahudd2000 (157 D)

Bump. We need one more player.

taking over CD positions
When I first started here, I made the mistake of taking over CD countries in existing games. That's pretty hard to win at, especially when new to the game. And I learned taking over CD positions was fruitless and thankless.

My question is, now that Reliability Ratings are up and running, does taking over CD countries do anything to improve RR?

Every car keeps track of the amount of km or miles driven..
With regards to the engine for instance, wouldn't it make more sense to track the amount of rounds (not per minute, but total)? And perhaps the average rpm? Or is rpm not the key factor in ruining your engine?
