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

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?

Downloading map files
I would like to download the maps for each turn in the 30-odd games I have played. Downloading each is painful, is there a way to download all those for game?

I would actually also really like this. When I'm putting together something like Where Did I Go Wrong it could save a lot of time, going through and saving the map for each phase (especially the largemap) is fairly tedious.

Sounds loke a feature request to me...

You could fairly easily write a script to fetch them.
(Scrupting is like coding, but tends to be simpler and thus a much easier thing to learn)

I have started to track games I have played, which country, results and so on with the aim of seeing where I can improve (call me weird but I can already see that my worst performance is Russia and my best is Austria). Reviewing local images is faster plus I can annotate them should I wish.

Thanks for the offer Abgemacht, I will send them by PM.

There's also the map archive:

http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=164615&viewArchive=Maps

Viewable at the bottom of the game page (the link that reads "maps"). Saving that to disk will save all the images, too.

There isn't a way to download just the maps without scripting it. I'd like to some day add detailed stats breakdowns to user profiles (probably on a separate page) including a breakdown of performance by country. I'd be interested in the specific details of what you're wanting to track- maybe it's something that a number of people would like.
Export game to *dpy mmmmmmmm.

Thanks for the link ATC.

Initially I have looked at result & position by country. Next stats-wise is to see if there is any notable difference WTA vs PPSC or Anon vs Named games.

You can see first pass analysis here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/4gl29alxdhqb9m9/Screen%20Shot%202015-09-28%20at%2016.13.35.png?dl=0

The position column relates to place in the final list for each game. Median value is 4 (3 for Ancient) so in completed Classic games I have done a bit below par.

I have set up an Excel script that generates URLs for a specified game (and number of turns). That is coupled with Hazel script to tidy up the resulting file names. It's a bit clunky but it is working.
