Thanks DougJoe and Hamilton Brian for your summaries! Here is a recap of my thoughts during G2, which I played as Turkey. 1901 I don't play a lot of press, usually you will see me in gunboat games. I find I struggle to know how to start the initial conversation, as most players seem to use the same,...

Hey folks... hope no one's getting stabbed out there... ;) Would it be possible to share the links to the different tables? It would be fun to spectate. Here is Venkman: https://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=1299443 Here is Spengler (table 2). It's still Spring 1901 so not much to see yet. http...

Since when was who managing anybody?

That is correct. When, the old manager, got fired, who took over.

Where is right field

Where nobody is

I would have thought that anybody would be better than nobody in right field. Who knows why nobody was put there.

Game 2 and Game 3 folks, looks like we're both waiting for one more to join...

Given that game 4 is missing 4 players, I wonder if we need to compress this to 3 games...

Board two folks: Sounds like Pinecone and Unknown Hero would like two day phases. 2 days for press/1 day for builds & retreats too short for anyone? DSS, anon? I'm actually fine with three day phases. But yes, DSS and anon would be my preference. I'm not that picky about the settings other than a m...

BTW, what is the phase length going to be? My vote would be 2 days.

2 days sounds perfect for me, for board 2 or whichever board I end up in.

To celebrate the release of the new puzzle, I propose that we start a game of diplomacy. But only if we use the classic or ancient med maps, the others have an entirely inappropriate number of supply centers.

But I won't Fib, I didn't figure this out until I saw the last couple of clues.

Thanks for participating in my little experiment everyone! Congratulations to all involved in the final draw, though it should be acknowledged that the result was impacted by the French NMR earlier on. My bad for not acting quick enough when DougJoe stepped up as a replacement. First my thoughts on ...

I'll take a stab at this. (No pun intended. I promise...) Though I think we should prepare a protocol ahead of time in case of a NMRs. Last time around my group was having quite an entertaining game but we cut it short with a draw after we lost a player and didn't get a replacement. A plan to reques...

I've recently returned to the site after a couple of years of neglecting the Great Game. This is an absolutely fabulous idea, and the diplomat thread and the game are fascinating. How did this get started?

Just a random idea I had then recruited some players for.

This game is a good example of that kind of strategy. Facing an insurmountable Turkish threat, the Italian fled their home centers to get a foothold in Iberia to be part of the stalemate line. Despite being a small power with no home centers, they couldn't be whittled out of the draw due to being in...

When I have a rough start, say that two of my neighbours ally against me, I sometimes try to make sure that they can't get an even split of my centers, by defending primarily against one of them. The hope is that the weaker power will get frustrated at their lack of gains and stab their ally. Or, th...

Bump

1.My logic in this case : 0 % interaction between diplomat community & general community means its straight forward gunboat ( diplomat are saying blah blah blah . .of no significance at all) Atleast confirmation from generals means that they are atleast reading the thread & taking this thread into ...

Question about "rules": As a General, is it okay to +1 posts of the Diplomats in the game thread?

I would say no, as though the impact could be low, it would still an influence on the negotiations, which is against the spirit of how this game is set up.

Here are the diplomats: Diplomats: 1. JustAGuyNamedWill - England 2. Pengwinja - France 3. DarthPorg36 - Russia 4. DreamTrawler - Germany 5. Theodoric - Turkey 6. sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x) - Italy 7. kicog19408@lisoren - Austria Here is the game board: Name: Pairs Diplomacy https://webdiplomacy.net/bo...

i like to join to fill up that vacant diplomat position . thank you. its a cool setup ngl . but if atleast diplomat could know who their partner is , it would be nice maybe or communicate with general in the winter phase , it would be cool ... While it is too late to adjust the communication rules ...

We are still looking for an Austrian diplomat! Is anyone interested?

I was mistaken, about France returning, sorry about that. DougJoe, I've sent you the password to the game if you'd still like to join. I will disclose that I am not playing as one of France's neighbours, so I do not benefit from this CD, I was honestly confused. Hoping to continue the game without f...
