I was born from the void. I entered into this world alone.

I have no family, but brainbomb is my sugar daddy.

I introduced Yanik to this site.

I invented Diplomacy.

Allan Calhamer never died. He lives on through us.

Also, using "father" is not a very comfortable way to describe the people who brought us to the site in the first place. Do you know how especially awkward when your "father" is actually your brother?

We already know you're from Oklahoma. No need to remind us.

I am a centurion. I have complete 100 games!

I don't know tprado; where are you from? Such a lineage can exist.

I smacked around Hellenic riot and ranscott playing Germany and got my 100th complete game!

I am JECE, son of Kestas, whose father was Calhamer.

My mother was an on-line article. She died of sadness recently when phpdiplomacy.net failed to respond.

I think the only player I ever introduced to the site is userID=19589.

"Hi, I'm Chris."
Hey, is that legit? Kestas learned from Calhamer?

I've actually introduced many folks. CAPT Brad appears to be the one that actually stuck. Of course, if my sister lets my nephew continue to play, I'll add him to my lineage.

No, JECE's making about as much sense as he does when he talks about survives. :P

I was introduced by Le_Roi, who hasn't played since some assholes broke his longest game record. None of my friends are cool enough to waste countless hours playing board games online, and I hate changing diapers, so I have no children.

"Of course, if my sister lets my nephew continue to play, I'll add him to my lineage."

Prado has an excuse. What the hell is yours?

And I thought this would be about the actual ancestry of webdippers. How dull.

Most of my ancestors were blacksmith's strikers or coal miners.

Every year my school's World History Advanced Placement class plays a game of WebDiplomacy. So every year there is quite a rush of new players that play WebDiplomacy.

I was brought into webdiplomacy by Mshull15. He hasn't been on the site in 2.5 years. Am I an orphan?

Google! I wanted to play diplomacy online so I googled "play diplomacy online" and I found it!

Google is my 'mother' too. Does that make us siblings?

I yahooed to this place. Does that make us half-siblings?

what is this "yahoo" that you speak of?

You're too young, we'll tell you when you're older.

I was introduced to this site by Edi Birsan. I don't know him personally I was already a F-to-F player, and I saw Edi Birsan mention phpDiplomacy in a discussion about the game online somewhere. I already knew who Edi was due to his fame on the old PBM / PBEM scene.

I have no offspring. That I know of.

Quexit introduced me to this site, He also introduced (with my help) another 29 other players to this site, and like uncooked spaghetti, most of them slid off the wall, but a few stuck.

of course I am referring to the old italian joke, "How do you tell if the pasta is done? Throw it against a wall and see if it sticks"

Quexit? Is Qatar leaving the GCC?

I'll ask him

I am CB, father of KingMischief.
While I wasn't introduced to the game here, when I first came on I was mentored by the likes of ssorenn, Draugnar, and synapse.

Deinodon, unless you are that guy from santa maria or saint monica, i don't know who you are. if you are that guy from santa maria, perhaps i will see you saturday at ecco's. if you are the guy from santa monica i will see you saturday at ecco's.

'Prado has an excuse. What the hell is yours?' bo told me there is no excuse for chug.

I guess my 'parent' would be that guy who posted on the facebook Dip forum 'webdiplomacy is a better version of this!'

Thank you, nameless facebook guy.

I am that guy from Santa Maria.

Hi, I'm Quexut, and I play diplomacy. I found this website by accident when I was trying to find a way to play Diplomacy online, as I used to play with my family. Then I found that many fellows of mine would appreciate playing Diplomacy, so I introduced:
reedeer1
C0dyZ
Friga the Enforcer
Fink the Scheming
420icetea
Quinchie
Joshy Squashy
Acardboardbox
DynamicFruit
beansinside
A. Snodgrass
A.Ham
Litzi
iminecole (banned)
were-hat
MisterFluffles
christopherbitchens
GloomyDrake
Montag2019

to WebDip, and they introduced many more. I am the patriarch of the Ithaca Clan, these are all my children.

userID=7900 fathered all of us.

yes, this is your fault, you bonehead!

This was the article that introduced me to phpDiplomacy, now webDiplomacy:
http://www.freewaregenius.com/2008/05/15/an-overview-of-free-turn-based-strategy-and-war-games/
Unfortunately, the link to phpDiplomacy/webDiplomacy no longer works.

ghug: In addition to playing the longest game of Diplomacy on record, I actually drew 2-ways with Le_Roi in Le_Roi's longest game on webDip: gameID=12882.

A great partner! That is still my favorite game, proving that an A-H-Turkey alliance can work beautifully when enough trust is built. We were constantly pretending to stab each other in the public chat while drafting elaborate schemes in our private chat.

this game seems to be going on for a long time: gameID=166960

But it happens not to be Diplomacy,

I have no parents. Auntie Google raised me. I have no children. They all died in infancy.

I came across webDiplomacy via an answer on Quora.com. I had never even played ftf diplomacy before, but I got hooked nonetheless.

An acquaintance told me about this site, but I haven't heard from him in a long time, and don't know his username. I guess I'm still searching for my long lost father.
Where are you 8th grade Latin teacher?

I joined thanks to Pangloss when he got me and a bunch of other people in my university's debate society to play the game. The rest of them got banned for metagaming and trolling the forum about celebrating Hitler's birthday. Somehow, I'm still here.

Grew up with no father so nobody ever son me

I wandered in off the streets with no know ancestors.

But wutt about a knew ancestor?
