There is a chaos game starting on olidip with a huge pot so it would be good if some people could join quickly.

I don't really know what the policy is for this... but Argentina and Brazil are quite clearly the same player. I know this is sabotaging the game, but it has clearly already been ruined.

I realize that this is probably a really stupid question, but since I can't find the answer on any of the FAQs, or even the official rule book by Avalon, I must post on the forums. Why is it, that in a game on WebDiplomacy, the game continues even when one country has 18 supply centers? Every rule I've seen says that the game is supposed to end and that the player has "won".

Thanks to anyone who answers!

I don't really care about any Holy Book, but I don't think it's AT ALL appropriate to burn them...flag burning's questionable but you can AT LEAST say it's maybe a prostestation against the government; this is attacking individuals's belief!

What is the single most important classical work on political and/or military strategy to read for the purpose of becoming a better Diplomacy player?

I apologize if this is old and boring for the forum, but I was wondering about experiences that folks have had playing these variants. Are they fun? Balanced? Fleet Rome (Italy starts with a fleet in Rome instead of an army) in particular looks like a promising way to give Italy a few more options in the early going. Thoughts?

before i discovered the awesomeness of webdip, i started an account over at playdiplomacy.com and started some games. I am pretty committed to this site, but don't want to abandon my games over there. Anyway, I have gotten myself in a bit of a pickle, and I would like to ask some tactical advice.

before i go into specifics, is this kind of thread even kosher?

It looks like some people in my game won't vote for pause :-P.
I will be back on 18th. Playing one Ancient Mediterranean game (1 phase) and one Classic (2 2h but this one is very close to the end).
Are there any volunteers for sitting in my game?

See within.

join, if you like :)

diplomacy on, 15 mins turns

Yep--happy Jewish New Year, everybody!

What that means practically I don't know, if I were religious maybe it'd mean something, but it's still a good excuse to show some New Years good will...and have a New Years celebratory drink or two... ;)

especially for new players trying to learn

There's only 24 hours to join, and we need 16 more- so this is a bit of a long shot.
The bet's 50 , and the total pot will be 2200 as Oli will put an extra 500 in if the game gets going.

Well, that Philosophers contest almost entirely fun (damn you, Seneca! lol) and I was going to propose a world leaders contest next...but that BAND contest never went anywhere, never ended...so start nominating songs (max 5 per person) and we'll take the first 50 or so (flexible there) and give them 3 each until we reach our Top 20, then start like last time. ANY genre, from Beethoven to the Beatles to Britain's Anthem to Bieber (OK, THAT will get tossed fast!) ;)

This game bugged out on me. Do I email a mod about it? And how can I get it addressed without revealing which country I am?
