1,408 balanced reduced latin squares.
Once a half a year or so ago on here, I mentioned this paper http://condor.depaul.edu/mash/Diplomacy.pdf and how I'd really like to get my hand on some of those squares. Well, Tim McMurry sent me 1,408 reduced latin squares to be used in balanced diplomacy tournaments.

The Art of Correspondence in the Game of Diplomacy
Hi folks, I just wanted to alert the webdip community to my new book. I've finally completed a two-year study of what makes for effective negotiations (and what doesn't work so well). http://www.amazon.com/Art-Correspondence-Game-Diplomacy-ebook/dp/B015XAJFM0/ Thanks, Conor

@Saladin- now that you see that no one is willing to follow your plan, will you be switching to playing the game well rather than terribly or are you going to stick to wasting your vote?

Thought- If SS is scum this could be an invitation for one of his scum buddies(who he won't have had a chance to talk with yet) to give him a 4-digit number that will result in a "random" town lynch that mafiosos get get on board without dirtying their hands.

The lynch is supposed to be determined mthmatecally based on the first 4-digit number posted, so if I cared to do the math I could post a number to lynch Saladin if I wanted to. Similarly a scum-buddy could pick a number they've already determined would hit a non-mafia like me.

@fighter - that wasn't quite his intent. He meant that the first number posted on a twitter random numbers website. It's still not the optimal strategy.

@SS: I know you said that it isn't a strategy for the entire game, but as I stated in my response to you. I think that it is better to look at statements and do the casework then plug into a random generator. That's my opinion.

@DL: Yes, I read through all of the reactions and perhaps I had a faulty sample last game, but webdip is the only outlet at my disposal to collect evidence. If you or anyone else has other resources at your disposal go ahead and prove me wrong/right if you care to do so.

Hey guys, so I think a random lynch is probably a bad idea. It's not like, mathematically bad, but it's bad in the sense that it isn't a good play for town interests. We're better off just going through the day like normal, trying to lynch someone scummy, and if we can't find a good target, we can always lynch the lurkiest person... or the most talkative. I'm sure we'll find someone to lynch in the end.

DeathLlama said "I'll be back."

Quoting the terminator, an android.

Reference to the android role in my first mafia game, that edition's version of the SK.

Possibly a nod to his role as SK rouge? A little "gotcha" inserted day 1 to laugh at us later?

Possibly a subconscious reference as well. Worth watching.

Top 100 GR game. Full press. Anon. WTA.
Hi all, I want to try and play one more game before I take a break again. Some games I played the past months have been great, others a bit disappointing. Overall I still think GR is the best indicator for a noNMR high level of press game, as it was three years ago before I returned to the site. So for my last game before my break I'd like to try and set up a top 100 GR game. Is there anyone out there willing to spar?

Off to work to play Diplomacy
Today I'm in the fantastic position that I'm off to work to play Diplomacy. Or at least, GM it. A local bank is setting up a game for 300 (!) employees, in a trajectory to kickstart discussions about trust and audacity in company culture. I'm really interested: have others ever used Diplomacy in a professional setting? Maybe we're on to something.

So I have permission to use a 3D printer for my boardgame prototype..
Now I need 3 D models to print and use as units. I need tanks, infantry, helicopters, planes, artillery, battleships, factories, territory markers (flags or more creative) and possibly the resources oil, iron, gold and aluminium depicted somehow..
Could I find files for those somewhere? Thoughts?

How does PPSC work?
I thought that in PPSC you always, no matter what, hey points according to the number of SCs you control. But someone in game told me that if you draw, all the points are split among survivors.

Can someone clarify for me?
