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

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?

Robot workers and an oversupply of labour

just reading some lite economics news. Morgan Stanley did an analysis recently and blame everything on demographics (and the inclusion of Chinese and former Soviet workers into a global workforce)

orathaic (1009 )

And i quote: "Rather than fretting about the "robots taking all out jobs" (the worry that technology is destroying jobs quicker than we can adapt), it's perhaps better to worry that "the robots aren't taking our jobs fast enough".
Because faced with an aging population and a rising dependency ratio a few more robot workers might be very useful indeed."

One of the main drivers for robotic development in Japan is the ageing population profile. Other countries, to some extent, can import young foreigners to fill the workforce and, importantly, as care assistants for the elderly. Because of language barriers South Korea is more or less the only possible source for Japan and, for cultural and economic reasons, that is not a deep pool.

orathaic (1009 )

I do wonder how the robotic worker revolution will change our employer-employee economics

But the idea that the japanese are getting robotic workers to do the caring work for us, because humans aren't numerous enough/interested/well paid... it just shows how far and how many jobs are disappearing.

'Robot and Frank' was a great story depicting just that kind of scenario... i really liked how they characterised the robot...

diplomat61 (243 )

I don't think the Japanese are there yet but it is behind some of their research. If I recall correctly it was cited as a factor behind the development of Asimo and it's ability to negotiate stairs.
