I don't really care about any Holy Book, but I don't think it's AT ALL appropriate to burn them...flag burning's questionable but you can AT LEAST say it's maybe a prostestation against the government; this is attacking individuals's belief!

This shouldn't have happened! In this game: gameID=32450, I'm Near-East. I ordered Syria to support move from Saudi Arabia to Iraq. Iran supported Iraq, so it failed. However, India, who occupies Iran and Iraq, ordered Arabian Sea to Saudi Arabia with support from Iraq. Shouldn't Iraq's support have been cut when I attacked it?

Utilize this thread by posting new live games here and only here.

The title is self explanatory.

Post the first single word that comes to mind when you have read the last post.

It looks like some people in my game won't vote for pause :-P.
I will be back on 18th. Playing one Ancient Mediterranean game (1 phase) and one Classic (2 2h but this one is very close to the end).
Are there any volunteers for sitting in my game?

See within.

We need to replace Russia in this game:

join, if you like :)

before i discovered the awesomeness of webdip, i started an account over at playdiplomacy.com and started some games. I am pretty committed to this site, but don't want to abandon my games over there. Anyway, I have gotten myself in a bit of a pickle, and I would like to ask some tactical advice.

before i go into specifics, is this kind of thread even kosher?

diplomacy on, 15 mins turns

Yep--happy Jewish New Year, everybody!

What that means practically I don't know, if I were religious maybe it'd mean something, but it's still a good excuse to show some New Years good will...and have a New Years celebratory drink or two... ;)

especially for new players trying to learn

any player from Romania? or am i the single one ? please let me know, thanks

let's use this new thread from now on so that we avoid getting confused.

Current cast of commentators (to be updated in the thread):

I apologize if this is old and boring for the forum, but I was wondering about experiences that folks have had playing these variants. Are they fun? Balanced? Fleet Rome (Italy starts with a fleet in Rome instead of an army) in particular looks like a promising way to give Italy a few more options in the early going. Thoughts?

There's only 24 hours to join, and we need 16 more- so this is a bit of a long shot.
The bet's 50 , and the total pot will be 2200 as Oli will put an extra 500 in if the game gets going.

I didn't realise until today, but there is a donation link on the faq page... Trying to raise a little bit of capital (for whatever kestas chooses to spend it on)

I feel the enjoyment i have gotten from several years of playing diplomacy here is worth the investment.

Well, that Philosophers contest almost entirely fun (damn you, Seneca! lol) and I was going to propose a world leaders contest next...but that BAND contest never went anywhere, never ended...so start nominating songs (max 5 per person) and we'll take the first 50 or so (flexible there) and give them 3 each until we reach our Top 20, then start like last time. ANY genre, from Beethoven to the Beatles to Britain's Anthem to Bieber (OK, THAT will get tossed fast!) ;)
