Lord of Ultima
This was a thread in Vdip, but me, King Atom, and Drano019 is thinking of starting a Lord of Ultima, Webdip alliance. For those who know how to play, we are probably going to be starting as soon as a new English Server is opened... For those who don't know how to play, Server 60 would be a good experience-gathering game

Classic gunboat LIVE complaint


Very likely France and Germany are communicating/cheating. No reason why two people with 10 builds bordering each other would still be just chilling out sipping pina coladas like this.

Top GR 150 Invitational!
Dear all! Next month I hope to graduate to the GR 150 club for the first time, after two recent draws, and I want to celebrate by starting up a game against my new peer group :)
MrcsAurelius (3051 D(B))
30 Jan 12 UTC
I have noticed that there is a reliable correlation between height of GR and good play and, most importantly, not NMRing or CDing :) So I was hoping I could set up a game with that in the mix!

If you are interested, you are looking for another fun classic WTA game and have a GR of roughly 150 or more, please respond!

My preference would be around 150 D, anon, posting players in this thread though, WTA, 2 day phases and full press, but I am open to changes in the parameters of the new game of course.

Post if you are interested!

You mean Ghost Ranking of 150 or Ghost Rating of 150?
MrcsAurelius (3051 D(B))
30 Jan 12 UTC
I mean this,
http://tournaments.webdiplomacy.net/theghost-ratingslist

and more particularly the monthly varaint, with Jan being:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?hl=en_US&hl=en_US&key=0AseR-H0M2Ru3dHh5NWtyMlhBaWdqLVl3eTlMY3NNQ2c&output=html

:) So I guess I mean players with a ghostranking of <150. Or do you mean something else?

I think MrcsAurelius means Ghost Ranking...

I don't think we've played before in a longer game, Aurelius, so I would definitely like to play. I just dropped from 46 to 146 in one month, so I'm looking to redeem lost pride :P

SacredDigits (102 D)
30 Jan 12 UTC
I'm supposedly abge's friend too, and I've totally dropped out of the top 150 due to a bad stretch of luck.

When I lose, it's bad luck. When I win, I'm a genius.
MrcsAurelius (3051 D(B))
30 Jan 12 UTC
Haha.. @zul, we were in a so called friendship game.. a new variant on this site, devised by abge, the aim of the game is to try to identify the mod, befriend him and win a draw together. If succesful, one gets a randomly selected bonus: I received a GR boost and want to celebrate with this game I am trying to set up ;)

So zully, any chance you wanna join?

Hey MrcsA,

I would love to join. Unfortunately I'm not top 150 but that's more because of a lack of playing than of skill - but of course I leave that up to everyone to decide :-).

I've been a bit inactive recently, but since I'm temporarily back at studying instead of working, I reckon I have much more time. So if you guys are ok with it, I'd love to play.

Let me know.

Cheers, Bad

02 Feb 12 UTC
@bad, i really want to get this show on the road.. so I will create the game tonight if nobody objects to you being under 150 and send everyone that signed up the password..

Our final line up is:
1. mrcsaurelius
2. santosh
3. hellenic riot
4. KyleFC
5. Yaxay
6. Bad85
7. Ghug

Great guys, looking forward to a good game hopefully! I will create the it with the following parameters:
WTA, full press, 150 D, 48hrs and anon.

ghug (5068 D(B))

Lol santosh, I thought we were amiable enough given our unfortunate situation, and you got to go relax on the nice Iberian beaches. I don't really see what your problem is.
MrcsAurelius (3051 D(B))
03 Feb 12 UTC
One of us still needs to join! Else we have quite the sub ;)
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))
03 Feb 12 UTC
I joined. Perhaps you should get other people to confirm, too?
MadMarx (36299 D(G))
03 Feb 12 UTC
There will be more Invitationals coming soon, so keep your eyes open...

So, when does the "You Snooze You Lose" policy go into effect? If a person isn't overly motivated to join the game, how motivated do you think they will be to play (i.e. talk during the game and submit orders)? ;-)

I don't know how else to describe it. I'm talking possibly the worst teammate I've ever had in any game, Diplomacy or other. Is it improper to discuss this here if I don't use names?
