Impending Potential Awkward Moment

I have, FOR HISTORICAL INTEREST ONLY, placed a hold on "Mein Kampf." Soon, I shall have the joy of checking it out as quickly as possible and hoping nobody will see me (my library system is self check-out). Anyone else ever have the fun of getting your hands on a copy?

Where Would YOU Nuke the World?

If you had one nuke, where would you let it off?

For the sake of this "game," you cannot give the same location as someone else, and for the sake of argument, the nuke is about as powerful as the Tsar nuke.

A modern variant idea

Having played Dip in person for quite a while along with several variants of it, I have often wondered why a variant has never made the game more 'modern' while maintaining the richness of simplicity.

Why do people do No-In-Game Messaging Games?

Issue with a game--Moderator Help Requested

http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=65100&msgCountryID=0
This game started before the pause and we have not begun the game. The player who is England has been absent for over a week and the game is stuck on pause and we cannot draw or cancel without him. Can a moderator draw the game so it does not remain forever.

Please do *not* post cheating accusations in the forum

This includes thinly veiled insinuations, leading questions, and outright accusations. See inside for more.

abgemacht (1076 )
14 Aug 11 UTC

We really only have 2 rules on the forum:
-Do not spam (this is hardly ever a problem)
-Do not post cheating accusations (this is often a problem)

The reason we have this 2nd rule is simple: this forum is not part of the game. When you allow cheating accusations, you demand that players become involved in the forum to defend themselves. This invites a whole new level of metagaming that we'd like to avoid. This is even more damaging if the accusation takes place during an ongoing game.

Furthermore most accusations turn out to be baseless as there are a lot actions that may appear odd, but turn out to be perfectly legit when investigated. Cheating accusations on the forum invariably turn into nothing more than a witch hunt.

If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the mods at [email protected]. We are here to help you.

I'm new here so please excuse the ignorance but WHAT IS metagaming???? I've seen that phrase talked about a lot here but I have no idea what you are talking about, only that it's a big no-no!

abgemacht (1076 )

@Apple

Metagaming refers to having something outside (meta) of a game affect your actions in game. Obviously, it's impossible to have *zero* metagaming, but we like as little as possible.

Some examples of metagaming that are unacceptable (unless playing a custom game) are:

-Allying with someone in one game so they will ally with you in another (Cross boarding).
-Creating unbreakable alliances before the game starts with friends.
-Talking in gunboat games.

On the other hand....FEEL FREE to post thinkly veiled cheating accusations....but KNOW that my boy Abge **will** dock you 25

. But....sometimes (Jack Klien, meta-gamer...) it is worth the cost...! lol So Abge....are you gonna hit me again for that? lol

I'll bet in real life you are a fairly righteous guy. That's why I don't mind when you smack me down! lol

krellin (80 )

On the other hand....the *real* question is, why do meta-gamers get away with it so often? People that base game decisions upon outside-game influences?

fortknox (2059 )

Well, we all know that Abge is a fucking cheater...

regarding the 25

punishment - what happens if someone gets below 100

, do they just refill, or does the lower bound of available points also get lowered to 75? otherwise, its not much of a punishment for many players.

Maniac (189 )

@Abge - just so I'm clear about the rules are we allowed to say that there is NO cheating whatsoever going on in this game

gameID=632265

That two of he participants could be siamese twins and that their history of helping one another win in all of their previous 25 games is entirely coimcidental and they are very good gunboat players.

Are we allowed to openly compliment people in such a way?

Plumbing...

Of all home repairs, plumbing is the task that I despise *the most*. Water will always seek the easiest...and most annoying....path. I have ripped out carpet and laid down flooring, done electrical, painted, wall-papered, done gas lines....but off everything I do, **plumbing** is my nemesis. For any plumbing project, it is *three* trips, guaranteed, to the Home Despot..

What is YOUR least favorite home chore/repair?

A scenario that I'm unsure of - need explanation of results

If during spring I move an army into an SC province and then in autumn I move said army into another SC province but get bumped back from that second province, retreating back to the first SC province, would I still gain ownership of said first province even though I retreated back to it or would I, in that case, not have ownership of either SC province? Thanks for your input.
