Why on earth would you let your friend climb into a warm oven?
Have you ever lived in Kansas? It was 85° F yesterday; today it was 45° with wind gusts of 50+. Why wouldn't he want to climb in an oven?

Colonial Diplomacy: The OG variant

https://vdiplomacy.com/variants.php?variantID=12 As a fan of Diplomacy, board games, and history, I believe Colonial Diplomacy deserves to be on the WebDip server. While many of the mechanics are the same, the unbalanced nature.of the empires makes for quite a unique experience. While, I stand by my...

The Birds and Diplomacy

So, I have this friend. He has 3 children; 2 boys and a girl. They are all still a bit young to fully comprehend the strategy and mechanics of Diplomacy. Still, I would say they all have potential, but especially daughter. Would be underestimated often (cute, smallish, female, etc), but knows how to...

Re: Do people want Chaos?

I've only played once, and it was a stabby blast! Made the draw and it felt nearly as good as a solo. I would give this a +2

Re: Diplomacy in an "Altered State of Mind"

Maybe not what you're asking, but I got pretty tipsy in one of the games at WDC 2017. The pro was that I was probably way more socialable and risky so I ended up topping the board. The con was that I misordered like a solid 5 times Typical Canadian... +1 for you, sir. I plan on being 100% drunk for...

WebDip Weekly Phase League

Basically, I would like to form a group of players who would enjoy playing Diplomacy on weekly phases. Press games (for me) are difficult to fit into my hectic schedule. The games I've tried to form/join do not usually reach the required number of players before expiring. A list of likely players to...

Re: Drawing is the new winning?

Drawing instead of stabbing for a solo could perhaps help repair the reputation of a known stabber. The stabber is attempting to prove they can be a trusted ally. Building goodwill is a useful tool in a non-anon setting. Build the mound high enough so when you push them off... From a competitive sta...

Italian Pie

Typing out load here, so thank you in advance for your input. Italy is the least likely of the 7 Powers to come out on top, statistically speaking. Austria can either be your best friend, or immediate death. Turkey usually a threat down the line if Austria has crumbled. But, for me, France is a the ...

Re: Does this English opening have a name?

Germany has approximately 0% odds of letting him into Sweden. Right. That's why England has to let the army in StP take Norway as suggested earlier. The plan is to have the Russian fleet in the Baltic Sea at the end of '01. Russia is certainly vulnerable in the south. As long as T/A hold off for '0...

Re: Does this English opening have a name?

What would you be promising Russia? He'll antagonize Germany, who will probably be getting two or three builds. Holding onto Denmark will be a lot of work too. You could use it with Russia opening North, to actually get long-term stable borders for an E/R Alliance by letting Russia have Norway with...
