Hello everyone,

often we have members who are either
new to Diplomacy
or even just
new to webDiplomacy

and while there are many power users here who put in a great amount of friendship and effort in ensuring that their friends who join us get a fun romping experience, not everyone is so blessed.

In that spirit, I'd like to offer this thread for signups for anyone who's looking for a "New Player", "Beginner", "Test", "Learning", etc game. Every 6 people that sign up I'll start a new game with.

Classic
Unranked
Non-anon
Full Press
5 D
Public Draw Votes

The only requirement is that you understand the time commitment:
A 36 Hour / Phase game takes about 3 months to complete (if you're winning, about a month if you're losing) and you'll need to check the site at least once a day. If there's a family or personal emergency or such it's understandable to need to drop out, in those cases contact me and I'll work out a solution.

Once you're in the game, all you do is play and have fun! And if you absolutely any questions about the site, the game of Diplomacy online or offline, just feel free to ask me. It's unranked so don't worry about performing poorly or conflicts of interest, I promise to give the right answer.

To sign up, simply copy and past the quotation and list into a new post and add your name to the list! This is an important skill in the forum...

I'll start a game every time we hit 6 people on the list.

Awesome idea. Not sure how many new players check the forum though

Yeah, that's a problem. The mod team are going to have a chat about how we can support this best with minimal site changes (we've been thinking about adding a welcome page for new users for some time - maybe this could be part of it).

Suggestions welcome! Also, if anyone with awesome communication skills would like to *write* a beginners' landing page, we would welcome offers of help.

(seriously, this is a great service). Maybe we should get some other site members to flesh this game out so it can start?

Of course, anyone with a passion for teaching and fun is welcome to join, you don't have to be a beginner to join the game, merely the game is FOR the beginners.
Really great one Valis <3. If in a few days you still need numbers to get the game started I would join, although hopefully the interest continues :-).

Let's tentatively plan for a Friday invite round
I can fill or be a person to ask for questions if they don't want to ask people playing. I might not be the most experienced, but I taught a bunch of my friends recently.
NEWBIE GAME HERE!

"WHO IS NUMBER ONE?"

"You are number six."
@SocDiss: we may need a sub - are you willing to jump in? Giving France a bit of extra time, but if he bails you're welcome to join.
Sure thing
Thanks. France has been mailed, so I still hope for a return (since he's one of the people we're welcoming), but if he doesnt show the place is yours.

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?

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.
