What did you guys want to be when you grew up.
I'm not an adult yet, and I still am unsure about what job I want. I used the Holland personality codes, and I'm an IES, which suggests pharmacist, but that doesn't particularly appeal to me. Some other jobs it says I might be good at are physician, actuary, and training manager. Of those, actuary and training manager look the most intersting. But this isn't just about me. What dod you guys want to be when you grew up?

Anyone want to do a live World?
Post here if you're interested. After a few people come on, I'll start the game and post the link.

I'd love to try a live world at some point, let me know if you get enough takers. But I imagine the time commitment is brutal even with 5-min phases.

We've been trying for this for a while. The only way I see this being viable is doing it on a nightly/ weekly basis for x hours then pausing.

At any rate, I'm in.

Live games on the world map DO NOT WORK.

There are too many players, and it takes far, far too long.

Quite how anyone will manage to enter 20 to 30 orders and talk to other players in five minutes as the game enters the final stages I have no idea. It might almost be workable if there was a way to switch from 5 minutes per turn to 10 minutes after 8 years or so, but you can't so it isn't. Even if it was it'd be bloody difficult, and very luck dependent.

Live world! What a logistical nightmare!

I was curious if it has ever happened on this website. A quick search shows that it has happened thrice!

gameID=20856
gameID=28649
gameID=27899

Interestingly, the global chat log of the first (20856) is in a foreign language, so it must have been an arranged game between a clique of players.

Personally, I'm not in, but I don't mean to knock the idea.

If 17 people are up for it, power to them!

i'd be down... but would need some serious rules and thought put into it.

5 min is undoable.

maybe 10 min gunboat.

10 minutes would be outrageously long though
dubmdell (556 D)
16 Jul 10 UTC
I vote for a multi-day game with preset start and end times each day (maybe determine the next day in global as everyone is wrapping up for the night?), 10mins per phase, and a solemn agreement amongst all players to not CD (they can just finalize holds, but no CD).

Not in favor of a gunboat. If we were going to gunboat, that would take five minute phases, tops.

Disband instead of retreat
My understanding of the rules of the game were that you were allowed to simply disband a unit instead of retreating it. Is this also true of webdiplomacy? When the retreat round comes will my pull down menu offer a disband option?

Anyone live within a few hours of Gainsville, FL?
If you are interested in a Face-to-Face game, there is an avid Dip player who wants to try to organize sme ftf games in FL. I personally live a few hours away, but we find the 3-4 other players we need, it'd be worth trying to organize a game. write inside if you want to play or live close enough.

I am so SICK of the Gaga Person!
She's an unoriginal hackjob with no talent except to gratify others through the basest of all techniques (in other words, she'd make Hugh Hefner pretty happy) and for getting her name out with scandals that flood the Web and take away from the important news (Arizona's immigration law? BP Oil Spill? The Economy?)

How do you feel about this...person (and THIS pisses me off): http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/stopthepresses/220323/lady-gaga-photo-irks-beatles-fans/

Does anyone know why we have to option to have phases that are "1 days, 1 hours" or "2 days, 1 hours"? I'm just curious why we have that option?

Just to let you guys know, I'm finishing my current games and then leaving the site. It has been a pleasure knowing most of you :) I have a few new furrows to plough and this game is taking up a little too much of my time. Bye.

Corrupt a Wish
The first person makes a positive wish, and the next person plays the role of the djinn granting the wish, and then turning it into a disaster. The second person then makes the next wish, and the cycle repeats itself.

(NSA) program: PERFECT CITIZEN
Some think it is an innocuous program to shore up America's cyber-security, especially in critical areas such as power and nuclear grids. Some think it is far more sinister, and a raytheon insider called it "big brother" What do you think?

It's a terrible country to develop from. I have no idea how to play it. And yet, somehow, the website seems to think that roughly half the time, Italy's the country for me.

Face To Face Tips
I play my first ever face to face diplomacy game in tournament play against some old toughies this weekend. It is expected to take 5-9 hours. Barring the marathon aspect (I'm fairly used to about 5 hour live games online), any tips from ftf veterans on this site?

A'holes leaving the game?
I just had a game where a person left the game for no apparent reason other than it looked like they may not win. This really throws off a game. First, how and why can a person do this? Second, is there a way to flag them or block them from games so they can't keep doing it to you?

Facebook diplomacy - any devs out there?
Hey, I'm a mod on the facebook app for diplomacy, but the person who set me up (and presumably has higher-level access) has gone incommunicado.

There are some problems with the forum and profiles and I wonder if the database needs a clear-out. Can anyone over here work on the facebook app, or is it totally stranded now?
