Public Non-Anonymous Games taking a
With some crackdown activity by the Mods on multis in the past few months, it looks like the number of public non-anonymous games has taken a bit of a dip, suggesting that there were indeed quite a few multi-account efforts in these games. I for one appreciate the policing of such cheating.

F2F Game in Chicago Area
Hey guys, I'm going to be in the greater Chicago area from like January 2nd until January 12th or so. There aren't many webdipers located around me, but I figure there's probably 5 or 6 in Chicago. Would anyone be interested in playing a face to face game if I can find enough people?

oh well I might have to pull out. I'm in college and I'd only be able to do it if it were in chicago, or somewhere easily accessible from chicago via CTA or Metra. I don't know if I'll be able to borrow the car, and even if I did, working out the times is too much of a hassle, especially if I'll have to drive outside of the city, let alone the state. :P

Finally went and checked out the Windy City Weasels last night and spectated a game. Great people, and I'll definitely go next time for another game. The next bar game is January 11. If anyone is interested, PM me and I'll tell you about my experience and connect you to the people running it.

I know it's not a bad drive Bo - I go down to Chicago fairly frequently (better concert choice than up here). I'm from Kenosha originally and I have Chicago ties so I know my way around somewhat. WCW doesn't mind visitors? I wouldn't mind showing up sometime. Yes, I'd even drive Yiggs lazy ass down. I haven't played f2f in years though so I'm probably *really* rusty...

Hey all, I'm the director of competitions for the Weasels (my official title: War Weasel). We welcome all visitors, even if they're just passing through (in fact, one-timers usually do pretty well at our games, as those of us who care about the league standings send dots their way in order to keep points out of the hands of other Weasel regulars).

Our website (windycityweasels.org) broke a couple weeks ago and is currently being rebuilt, hopefully to launch this weekend. All of our games are also organized through Meetup (www.meetup.com/wcwdiplomacy/). We actually have two games scheduled between the 2nd and 12th, RagingIke, and you're welcome at either or both. Feel free to pm me with any questions.

In fact, everyone on webdip should feel free to pm me anytime with questions about the Weasels.

The internal metagaming makes me want to vommit. There's plenty of competition if you could get a game that has nothing to do with league standing. (Well except for that Maddotter character) :))
maddotter (830 D)
16 Dec 16 UTC
Well, for the people who play regularly, the league standings provide an interesting longer-term competition. We structure those standings to try to minimize the effect on any one game and also to make it easy for casual players to participate (only the top 3 scores over the course of a year count). The standings-related metagaming usually doesn't play much of a role until the last few months of the season (which ends in August). I'm definitely sorry, ssoren, if you had a bad experience. I'll pm you about it.

The new-player bonus probably has more to do with history between regulars than standings metagaming. For example, this past Wednesday, the game yoyoyozo observed, I was put in a position where I couldn't win but play kingmaker, and I chose the brand new player over the regular. I'm glad our club is like this and not like other clubs, where regulars tend to stick together and gang up on newer players.
tatertrotts (2713 D)

Hey folks, I'm on the sneak (leadership board) with maddotter here, was featured in the photo.

While there are metagaming elements, those moreso come out of rivalry from repeated play than anything else. We get the reputation as sharks from our bar games-with a set end time, stabs in the last couple years happen all the time. But our house games are fairly typical in terms of alliance structure IMO.

I'd love to see more webdip players come out to Chicago. I'd also love thoughts from anyone on here about how we can grow our group and get as many people on boards as we can.
ssorenn (0 DX)
16 Dec 16 UTC
You need not PM me. I said the comp is good but you said it your self you chose to kingmaker a new player because of your point standing. Not because it was the right play for the board. As a non member that's bothersome.

When I played a game with you guys, I gave my ally every reason to work together because of board issues and then he did some really stupid shit and when I asked why, he said it was because of standings in league. As a player in a one off game , that kinda SUCKS. It's still a fun night, but I personally would not play again if it's a league game. A house game that has nothing to do with the league and I'd love too

If nothing else, all the people who are in the league and one timers are all tremendous people and players including maddotter
maddotter (830 D)
16 Dec 16 UTC
I'm really sorry you had a bad experience, ssorenn. We solicit feedback from everyone who plays with us, and complaints about standings-related metagaming is not common. We're always trying to strike a balance between growing the club and maintaining year-long competition for the diehards. When there's a conflict between those two goals, growing the club usually wins out.

The point tatertrotts and I are trying to make is that newcomers are welcome and, unlike other clubs, being new is usually an advantage, not a disadvantage.
ssorenn (0 DX)
16 Dec 16 UTC
I'm not looking for and do not need an apology. I played with the group and like you guys. That was just my experience. I have continually tried to steer people towards your group. Some may not have an issue with getting a bonus from just being the new guy. I'm sure there's a lot around here that would like benefits for nothing. I find that detracts from the game. My opinion

Who would you regard as the finest players whom you have played with on webDiplomacy?
As I said before, thus far the two best players whom I have played with are McFly and Kearns892. I have played with players who are ranked higher in the "ghost ratings," but that doesn't mean anything as it also accounts for prevalence of play.

I would be interested in hearing other people's responses.
