What makes someone "good" at gunboat?
Is it a specific set of skills? Good strategy? Communicating? What makes someone like SplitDiplomat better at gunboat than MadMarx?

The Classic Diplomacy maps have several simulators (Sandbox/Practice Modes) outside this site, such as Backstabbr or SourceForge. The other 4 variants on this site have no simulators that I could find, so does anyone know where some are? AncMed, Modern2, Empire4, World9

Does a player who left the game share in a draw?
I searched the rules and I didn't see anything. It says 'surviving' players. So if a player left, but still has SCs and units, is he a survivor?

Quick rules question
I'm a little unsure about how coasts affect support orders. Consider the following scenario: England has a fleet in Norway and a fleet in the Gulf of Bothnia. Even though the fleet in Gulf of Bothnia cannot move to StP's north coast, can it support Norway's move to StP's north coast?

Cops frequently lie in the course of their work to coerce 'confessions'...
And then we are expected to accept their testimony in court to vote guilty to convict someone and send them to prison. When should a career where lying is an integral part of the job disqualify someone's court testimony?

In an attempt to improve our understanding of other players decisions, TrPrado and I would like to get a game going where everyone is invited to actively use the "notes" in order to prepare an EOG.

The game will be 48hrs/turn, wta, anon & 10 buy-in.

I would play, but I'm going to Europe. When I get back, I would love to be a part of this. End of the month.
We tried this once, resulting in gameID=91245. It was a great game, and lots of alliances made, alliances broken :) However, we never got around to publishing the press.

So, please do this, and publish all the press. It'll be great fun! I can't play, sadly, because I'm wrapped up in too many games right now.

Was that press really never published, bas? I still have my full disclosure game sitting in a pdf somewhere.
I think half of us sent our press to Tru Ninja, but he never received it all. Some of the players have left the site by now, so it's unlikely we'll ever get it put together.

I asked Tru Ninja once if he could use special mod powers to obtain the press, but apparently you have to be super-mod for that :)

Ah, goldfinger! You were in that full disclosure game we played a while back. You were Turkey, I was France, you somehow got Russia to sail his fleet into Portugal while you were taking Moscow. It was epic.

Anyway, we never managed to collect the press from that game together and publish it as we intended to do. Do you have special mod powers to get all the press together? If you could, I'd be really happy to put together some readable format so the whole site can enjoy our game and see what went on behind the scenes.
gameID=91245

Yes I do have said power. I'll get it to you tomorrow.
Good lord that looks like it was a fun game. I had completely forgotten about it. I did my tried and true Turkey tactic - go balls to the wall against Russia while secretly conspiring to Jugg with him the whole time.

I did not think of that when starting to recruit, but yes, I will publish press if all players agree.

Thanks for the hard sell Sevyas, but I'll have to sit this one out.

After the leagues are over, I'll have more time for games too- I'll make sure to shoot you a PM.

Everyone, please don't forget to make use of the notes tab as often as possible - I'll try to put in my thoughts there every turn. At the end of the game, there will be an EOG thread where we will publish the press as well.

Do you have any recommendations on how to use the notes section? Maybe a standardized approach will help with expectations and the later readability.
Sevyas (973 D)

I have not much experience with EOGs, but I intend to whrite a short note about my map analysis + the reasons for giving the orders I choose to enter every turn into the notes section.
If anyone with more EOG-experience could offer some help ...
A_Tin_Can (2234 D)
10 Jul 15 UTC
Here are some suggestions for things you could put in your notes:

* Offers you receive, and what you think of them
* Offers you give, and why you're giving them
* Offers you accept and why you're accepting them
* What your overall plan is
* Stabs you're considering doing (whether you make them or not)
* Stabs you're worried about
* How trustworthy/stable/strong/weak the other players seem
A_Tin_Can (2234 D)
10 Jul 15 UTC
Oh! And, reading through the last full disclosure game, it's not always clear whether people were lying when they don't follow through, or if circumstances just changed. So, notes on whether you intend to do what you're saying would be super interesting:

"Told Germany I'm forcing Burgundy, but it's not true. I just don't want him to move there."
or
"Told France he can have Belgium. If he's not in Burgundy, I plan to follow through on that."
ag7433 (927 D(S))
10 Jul 15 UTC
ok, so basically make a new heading on the notes section per turn.
Tru Ninja (1016 D(S))

That's what I was intending. Sort of like a "captain's log" that we hear at the beginnings and endings of star trek
