Update for Intro?
I've noticed in games people moving into a supply center, and then moving out before builds phase. I feel like there should be an update in the WebDip intro properly explaining how the seasons/phases work, because it seems like every newbie messes it up.

Campfire Songs
Some of you are definitely not the people to ask, but I'm asking anyway... what are some good campfire/bonfire/whatever songs? The internet is really cliche on this top-priority issue in my life.

ArmyandFleet - cancelled
I was just in a anon. game that got cancelled - after many, many turns. At last we (the big majority of players) succeeded in getting 1 player to vote cancel.
My question is, is there any way in getting to know who played in that game, now that it is cancelled?

PS: I was Russia.

I am happy to say I'm back. 9 months without WebDip has been too long. But I'm armed with a brand spanking new Crackberry Classic and ready for some intense negotiations. Damn, it's been too long.

Unlikely percentages or Bad Luck on Computer Draw
I am sure I am not the only one who suffered from this but as I drew Italy for the 4th time in 5 classic games this summer I thought I would hear about others with similar strings of playing the same country. I have only played about 10 classic games from the start since I joined and even that is well above average percentages.

Sounds good. This will help you to become very experienced playing Italy, and you can try out several different approaches.

Italy and Austria are fun for me. I shudder when I get Russia, or England.

Your percentages will iron out though, the same thing happened to me when I joined.
MarquisMark (326 D(G))

+1 to Jamie's advice. Take that opportunity to try out different things.

Italy is fun but challenging, Austria is just a point donation. In general, I like playing the naval powers best.
Jamiet99uk (1307 D)
25 Aug 15 UTC
Ahh, I like playing Austria. If you can survive the first few turns intact, you suddenly become powerful, because every time you gain an SC, your builds are at the centre of the map - whereas if you're, say, Turkey, and you're pushing for a solo, and you get a build, the new unit is miles and miles from the action.

Austria and Italy are both amazing countries.
wjessop (100 DX)

I agree; if Austria can pick up both Serbia and Greece in 1901 it can lock in for the long haul fairly well. By the mid-game, Austria's central position can be very rewarding in gaining friendships and partners with others battling around you.
Espi (338 D)

I've played France once on here, Italy, Russia and England several times, Turkey fairly often and then very rarely Germany and Austria. I've started wanting to play Modern Dip for the variety of options.

I really enjoy playing Austria,probably my favorite one, but I confess Italy isn´t my strong power, even with some decent results playing it.
Octavious (2802 D)

With Austria too much is down to luck for my liking. The amount of influence you have over your own destiny is an order of magnitude lower than nations like France, in the early stages at least. Better Austria than the tedium that is Turkey, though

I think the country assignment algorithm doesn't update until you complete a game. So if you're due to be Italy and join a bunch of games before completing the one you first joined as Italy, you will keep getting assigned Italy.

When I finally drew Kenya on a world map game, it encouraged me to immediately join two more world map games and I got Kenya again in one of them (woohoo!).

No, it is updated at the start of each game.
Tolstoy (1962 D)
27 Aug 15 UTC
I stand corrected. How then, though, could someone be getting Italy in four out of five games then? And (less anomalously) me getting Kenya twice in a relatively short period of time?

For two reasons:

1) The weighting isn't all that significant, so chance still plays a big roll, and
2) The algorithm needs to deal with all 7 players, not just you.

Playdip is like another country
They do things differently there.

One thing in particular I have found rather disturbing, and I'd be interested in hearing what the rest of you think about it.

I'm designing a board game and wondering about the production side..
I can't produce everything myself of course, but I do want to have as much control as possible and make it 'my' enterprise rather than giving the design to someone who takes care of everything while I'm getting a part of the profit.
I do need some professional stuff to really get it off the ground, though. No clue how to go about this. Approach the nearest board game store and get information there?
