CDs and the collapse of empires

Just wanted to observe how frustrating it is when a player becomes less committed to the game when they look to be in trouble. What can possibly be done to stop this ruining end games for everyone else?

(Also, someone (ghug?) mentioned not long ago a game where Germany recovered from 2 centres to solo. I can't find it again, can someone point me in the right direction?)

The Deathcount of Wall Street

I was thinking of doing some research on how many people died by Wall Street practices (through sucking companies out causing unemployment, profiting from and at the cost of pension funds ruining people's pensions, etc, etc.).

Does anyone have an idea of where to start and how to go about this?

Well, I was Russia and in the first turn England, Germany and italy NMRd. Then England and Germany went CD and Italy finally started making moves.

Why so many gunboat games ?

I don't really have a problem with gunboat but I thought this game was designed for people to talk between themselves and scheme and form alliances in advance and fool your allies telling them you will, for example, support them somewhere but end up attacking them instead. For a few weeks I've seen only gunboat (live games)

Gunboats are popular because they take less time. There are plenty of press games. Look in the forum or advertise your own!

Valis2501 (2850 )
18 Jul 15 UTC

To be fair they don't take less time for live games, they take less effort and attention.

Valis2501 (2850 )
18 Jul 15 UTC

There's plenty of reason to believe the underlying game mechanisms are as or more important than press. For example, no negotiation during retreats or builds. Negotiation is very obviously and very specifically a relegated part of the game; not the game itself. Gunboat simply forgoes that part of the game, to almost no detriment.

thorfi (1023 )

Also, if you think gunboat games don't involve negotiation, alliances, scheming, lying, and betrayals, you'd be wrong. :-) They involve all of those things. Play gunboat without doing that and you'll get cleaned up most of the time.

Valis2501 (2850 )
18 Jul 15 UTC

That's a bit hyperbole.

thorfi (1023 )
18 Jul 15 UTC

Well, a little bit. :-) But you do need to be thinking about those things to play gunboat. You can't just ignore other players and their likely thoughts - that will just get you ganged up on.

it really helps you try to psychoanalyze people just from their moves, without words to get in the way. Press games up the intensity

I thrive on the full information aspect to gunboat games. Everything is on the board.

You can always trust your adversaries in gunboat games.

It's quick! So I can easily keep several GB games going, whilst only playing one or two full press games. I reckon to send quite a few PMs per turn (especially early game) with the latter so I tend to keep those down to one or two, as JY says. When I used to host fairly regular FTF games, dip time would always be doubled pre-S'01, as the initial negotiations always take several rounds.

Variant idea!

Every Spring, only fleets can move. Every Fall, only armies can move. Convoys are allowed in Fall, even if the fleets involved already moved in Spring.
