Quality Live Game
I was considering starting a RP (Rulebook Press?) around 4pm EST (New York City Time). I was thinking 10 minute phases (assuming that the auto ready on retreat and builds will save us a ton of time) I would prefer if you have at least 10 games to your name and the bet will be 50 D. add your name in list format below. I will send out the Passwords at 3pm EST

Checking adjacent territories
Is there any way to check ahead of time, in any manner, if two territories are adjacent? There are some territories that seem adjacent, but I don't know if fleets can travel between them. I just don't know how to see if they are or not and don't want to take the chance they aren't and try to move somewhere only to find out the next move is impossible

Playtesting my boardgame online
Hello everyone,
version 1 of my boardgame is finished. It was brought to my attention that it's probably a good idea to test it online. Two things needed there: 1. players and
2. some sort of adjudicator to use, with which I can easily add and move around 6 unit types, factories, territory markers and 4 kinds of resources, while also keeping track of various variables (although that can be done fairly easily outside of the adjudicator).
Can you help with either of those?

Roll20.net was already suggested to me, but so far I can't get the hang of it and it's clearly meant for RPGs, which my game isn't, so I'm not sure how suitable it is. I certainly don't rule out the likely possibility that I just can't handle it though..

If someone has the know-how and is willing to GM it, that would be awesome as well!
The rules and board can be found here: english.stephandijkhof.eu/boardgame.html
I'll be updating some tiny errors already found as well.

Worth mentioning is that lots of units can be stacked in the same territory, so easy splitting and merging could be useful as well.

I'm sure I forgot something..

PM your email address so I can send emails out when ready, that is. Just clarifying because someone seemed confused.

What kind of volume and resolution are you looking for in a 3 D printer? I have a Rep Rap Prussa i3 Wilson that can print 200x200x180mm that is semi apart at the moment but could get up and running in a week. I am in Michigan so it might not be the most cost effective with shipping.

Steephie, in ~5 minutes, I can show you how to use roll20 to play test your game. Just get on Teamspeak some time and I'll show you.

14 Dec 15 UTC
@TheFallenAngel: I should absolutely remember that, but I actually got one at school now. It isn't great, but it'll do as far as the school project goes. When I take the leap towards the company-stuff, it could be something to think about..

@abge: Ah, I didn't want to bother you with too many questions, but that'd be great of course!

The first offline testing round, or more like an explaining round, has just been finished. We didn't get beyond turn one because it was inbetween two lessons. From what I could tell, they liked it and I've received some more advice (mostly on clarity and convenience). Good for a first hour I think.

I'm working on Dutch rules as well. Overall, I'm exhausted at the moment and after I rest, I have a new list of things to go through. Those who sent me a PM with their email address will be added to a list soon and will be notified by email when the first game starts.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
15 Dec 15 UTC
4 online playtesters on the list. Crossed a bunch of offline things off the list.

Waiting for abge to teach me roll20 while updating the rules and creating a Dutch translation. I believe that's it for now. Maybe update my site too. Makes sense, a more central location for information..

Funny how things go. One moment you only want to sleep, the next you're in a severe working mood..

While its true that many genius level inventors and creative minds suffered from insomnia; they also lived shortened lifespans.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))

Naturally, humans only sleep in two-ish hour increments, so I'm fairly sure everyone's sleep habits are at least on some level unhealthy.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
15 Dec 15 UTC
My intuition and logic has always dictated that sleeping more often but for shorter periods is better. However, I can see how having solid sleeping habits can be a benefit, but I just think that's unrealistic with the amount of sleep I need. I can't take a nap during the day at a solid timing and I can't go to bed that early every night either.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
15 Dec 15 UTC
In essence, what I have now is a solid base amount at night with the occasional rest during the day to 'catch up'.

17 Dec 15 UTC
The plan is to start Saturday or Sunday. Approximately 24-36 hour phases, moving on faster if everyone's ready. I plan to be pretty loose on deadlines initially and see what's best from there.

4 players now, two more players allowed! Send a PM with your email address if you want to join!

Game restarted. If you wanted to join but did not receive an email, please let me know. It got rather confusing because people signed up with their email and signed off with their nickname and it was hard to figure out which ones belonged together.
I'll fix it asap.

Bumping because some of the players don't check their emails on a regular basis.

New site feature: Voice chat press
Its simple you get a 7 player game public voice chat and webcam channel. So its like the closest thing to ftf Diplomacy since sliced bread. Can you imagine the look on Valis face when I build a fleet in Mar and hes in Italian Leponto. Come on webcam and voice chat would be hilarious.

Design Competition
See broadexpert.com if you want to help with the design of my start-up company. You may make some money. I'm not going to a design company for a reason though :-)

Meanwhile, I want to start a discussion: I have a debating competition coming up next week and one of the statements will be: 'High school students lack ambition'. If I'm against this statement, I thought it would be a good idea to bring up the company. I'm not sure whether that's socially acceptable though?

Russian Opening to Silesia Spring '01
This opening has become a little personal favorite of mine, (if I am Russia, France or Italy) and am wondering if anyone has thoughts, experience, or tactics to share about it. Convincing Russia to do it if you are France or Italy can be difficult -- but well worth it for all involved. You need an imaginative Russian though.
