Coding Boot Camps
I listened to an interesting episode of On Point (probably the best radio show there is, btw) a few days ago about Coding Boot Camps. Here's a link to the episode and an older article if you don't have time to listen.

Looking for a Modern Diplomacy Analysis.
I have never played the variant before but I have been looking at some archived games of it on webdiplomacy recently. I was hoping that people would be willing to share any thoughts on it they have. I would love a country by country analysis.

Beginner's first game
Hello,
I'm new here, never played Diplomacy, doesn't have anyone to play it with IRL so I was wondering if anyone could help me understand the game better or maybe if there's other newcomers, we can create a new game so we all discover how it works together..

Here's a great place to start:

http://webdiplomacy.net/intro.php

The rulebook is also on our help page and we have a very helpful forum full of colorful personalities.

It's nice to see new faces and my recommendation is that you do exactly what you're doing now and when you start your game, play with people that are reliable (check the reliability rating on their profile) to know the players a bit before starting a game with them as quitters ruin games.
NunaEtsuko (100 D)

Thanks for your suggestions! I'll do just that.

I am a fairly new player, have played 11 games. But I am looking for a game with less pressure, less press and some relaxed players, to chill and have fun with during the game.

If the mods can make me get Italy (Assuming that is the hardest), then I would like to try this game. I promise to be friendly, take it easy on other players and treat it as a learning experience for everyone.

I'm also fairly new. I've played ten games on here, and done pretty poorly on most of them. What's more, I recently joined my first game in months, and I'm finding that I'm way out of practice. So if you want, I'd gladly join.

Ah. I've met some beginners who were paranoid beyond belief an expert was going to swoop in and unfun their game too, some people are weird about things.

Just a thought..... if you expand your parameters a little further to players with a low win percentage, you may get people who, whilst experienced, still aren't very good :D (says the guy who has won four of 313 games)

LittleItaly (355 D)

Hmm, actually I feel the problem with experienced players in beginners game is Press 9_9

Because beginners think differently to experienced players so that is also something I guess?

Problem with Experienced players in Beginners game is Band Wagon and Defensive alliance. Both of which make the game a different sort of game compared to a beginners game. Don' you guys think? Unless ofc the experienced player intentionally plays a kind of mentor role in the game to every one and stays neutral the entire game (which is also meh).
