Re: Moderator Team Announcement

When someone breaks social norms like this, I can see lifetime bans as appropriate. To be clear again: I'm not speaking to Magnetic's case specifically, I don't understand the details, the person, etc. But in the bridge world, when cheats have been welcomed back, it is a signal to those who lost to...

Banning anyone permanently from anything is never a good idea imo :I
I don't really agree. This is a volunteer-run site, there isn't manpower to run an appeals court. Final decisions are more efficient.

Re: Moderator Team Announcement

It just sucks for the live players. It's already hard to get a game, losing a pretty consistent player is a big loss. But that's on him, not the leadership.

Re: Moderator Team Announcement

If you NMR enough, you automatically get temporarily banned. I imagine that's what happened. I'm deeply disappointed in him, but at the same time, I don't think I'll be the only one who'll miss him too. It is a shame, I liked him. Friendly guy. Hopefully he can be unbanned and just have his mod pow...

removing his own temporary bans
Shouldn't a mod being given temp bans in the first place have been a huge red flag? What was he being temp banned for?

Re: Supporting into Own Space

They would bounce. All the units would stay where they are. It would not have mattered if Ruhr moved instead, because units cannot cut support being used to attack them.

Re: Introducing the first ever webDiplomacy Terminator Tournament!

Doesn't Key Lepanto require prior coordination so that Austria opens with Bud S Vie-Gal or something? The point of the Key Lepanto isn't usually that you coordinate it; Italy strongarms Austria into accepting a Key so they don't lose Trieste. So yeah, it's worse for Austria than a regular Lepanto. ...

Re: Introducing the first ever webDiplomacy Terminator Tournament!

Key lepantos aren’t unheard of in gunboat. They just require a knowing and competent Austrian player to recognize them, as well as proper tactics and positioning by Italy as he needs to make it abundantly clear that he isn’t attacking. Sending one army to Trieste and the other to Apulia is usually ...

Ok I get you may not know who is who, but you know the cohort. Not very anonymous ?
It's a pretty common way to play. It's sufficiently anonymous to avoid collusion.

@Swordsman3003, have you considered writing a BGOAT-style log for a full-press game?
He already did, it's up there (he played England in that one)
Derp! Thanks.

Re: Diplomacy Games are Like Onions, Layer 1: Politics

I strongly agree with this, along with many of the other things Octavious said. The goal of Diplomacy, like any game, is to have fun, with a secondary goal (like most games) being winning. Of course, like Octavious and most people here, I play to win, especially given that I haven't soloed yet and ...

How would the game change if you won at 17, not 18 SCs?

My thought is that the first player to reach 17 SCs would win a solo victory. If two players simultaneously got to 17 SCs, they would automatically 2WD. Would the game be better or worse with this change? Would it be more or less balanced, and what would the ramifications be on how the game was play...

Re: Luck Plays No Part in Diplomacy

I found something super hilarious in swordsman's "Biggest Game Of All Time" writeup (an excellent writeup IMO): What I really hope to accomplish here is to harass England’s moves. I think England is very likely to move North Sea to Skagerrak, Norway, or Heligoland Bight (maybe even in that order of ...
