On a related note (sorry, can't edit the preceding post anymore), you can also cut support in a mismatched coast situation, such as in this image:

https://webdiplomacy.net/datc/maps/206-large.map

"If you can't move to that province, you can't support a move to that province." But be careful with two coast provinces. A fleet in Gas, for example, can support F GoL to Spa sc, even though Gas cannot move into Spa sc. That shouldn't be the case; if it is it should be fixed. That is indeed how th...

Is a mod able to remove me from game 2 and give the spot to someone else who wanted to play? Some stuff has come up and there's no way I'll be able to finish the game (and a new player might as well take over now rather than later). Naming the country that’s to be taken over might help with this re...

I have previously suggested counting losses for the dropout instead.

This is such an obviously good change that I am surprised it has never been implemented. Even people who could not care less about their own stats will benefit from this, as they will see fewer CDs from other players.

This is a racist flawed system. Diplomacy is racist it banned my account because they figured out my race this is dirty can anyone please help me. FWIW... this player was given a temp ban for excessive (EXTREMELY excessive) missed orders. His response publicly, with unfounded accusations, repeated ...

If the vaccine works, why doesn’t the vaccine work?

Some people still die in car crashes despite wearing seatbelts. If seatbelts work, why don't seatbelts work?

Also in for what gimix suggested!

(I reordered the list by gunboat rating since the suggested idea is top 49)

b) every player is using this technique, in which case you are just playing a normal full press game with lots of extra steps In normal full press you don't see when other players write messages to private press. Nor can you expose your private press to a 3rd player. You can copy/paste the discussi...

If some players are using this technique in a public press game, then either a) some other players are not using this technique, in which case those players will be at a significant disadvantage b) every player is using this technique, in which case you are just playing a normal full press game with...

I would love to see Known World 901 back on the site. It was originally taken off because the transform rule wasn't compatible with the site. However, the map creator (David E. Cohen) said the transform rule was NOT part of the original design, and was added by someone else for unknown reasons (sour...

Fully support ^. Between the blatant advertising bots and the "bumping old threads with chatGPT comments" bots, it seems like legitimate posts have become a minority on the forum? I'll repost something I already posted elsewhere: As a relatively new user to the forum, it is depressing that on every ...

Did everyone just agree to let you solo this way?

No, it was a gunboat game, and at least 1 of us was annoyed at having to play a ton of extra turns for no reason.

I could well be mistaken but I always thought that the original rules permitted voluntary disbandment in the Spring turn regardless of whether or not a unit was caused to retreat. If the owner retained sufficient supply centres the unit could be replaced by either a fleet or army in the Autumn buil...

Why would you want that kind of spam? I receive about 50 to 100 emails a day. I hate anything that creates more. Just check into the site every day or so. Is that hard? "Why would you want a notification on your phone when you get a new voicemail? Just check your voicemail inbox every day or so. Is...

But we disabled it again because the 'transform' rule (if a unit is in a coastal SC, it can use its order to transform into an army/fleet) was implemented in quite a hacky way and broke the orders page. I'd love to see it if this is fixable! How necessary is this rule? If the map was added to WebDi...

Is it okay for adults to play Diplomacy? I think I lean towards no, but I'm open to arguments to change my mind. There comes a point where you need to live in the real world, and Diplomacy is just a form of escapism that is unhealthy. Society would be better if people spent more time leveling up rea...

My non-CS background take: Current generations of language models seem like they could translate the intentions of an AI back and forth into human-readable press. What seems like a necessary new step here is how to get a bot to change its mind based on receiving press from the outside. You might be...
