Anonymous Games

Sometimes... usually because I end up revealing who I am... I wonder what the point of anonymous games is. When we've played with someone, there are usually tells. When we have NOT played with someone, why do we need anonymity.
And sometimes I think that when I play anonymous games I might as well say who I am in globals. Stupid ellipsis and dumb proper grammar.

Talk, or die! Reboot

"Talk, or die!" game got cancelled due to 3 NMRs before end of 03. Here's an attempt to start a new game with more or less the same settings.
Full press, 48 hours, (semi-)anon, DSS, 50 points buy-in, RR 90%.
Active players of the old game will have priority to sign up.

Banning Jenetically Modified Organisms

I think we should probably get rid of Jenetically Modified Organisms. For a while I thought they were gone but they seem to be making a comeback. Our health is at risk people. Do you wanna sit in your moms basement eating old cheese? Are you tired of being tired? Does your back hurt?

Getting Mexico to pay for the wall

Why doesn't Trump just impound Mexican land on the other side of the Rio Grande? -- land with a value equal to what it costs to build the wall. As a bonus, the wall could be built south of the river. That would make it easier to build.

Rise in diabeties in Dwarven and Halfling communities

Recent spikes in Type 2 diabeties have led to dramatic dietary changes in many halfling and dwarven communities. The diets consisting mostly of ale, salted pork, and pipe weed have finally started to erase the accepted idea that these races were rich in longevity. Gout, Obesity, and Type 2 diabeties have all risen. Recent additions of Mountain Dew and Doritos in Dwarven Mine Snack halls may also be to blame.

I recently finished one of these with a great group of players on the Fall of the American Empire map, where it was BC, Cali, Mexico, Peru, and Florida (the "Liberal" team) against Quebec, NY, Heartland, Texas, and Cuba (the "Conservative" team): http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=193384

It was quite a bit of fun, with random assignments making it interesting how you'll have to work together. So here are the two teams - please sign up:

slypups (1889 )
28 Apr 17 UTC

Looks like we're nearly set here. I'm afraid I'm going to have to disqualify BohemianRapCity (sorry bud) due to complaints in the last game and a lower RR - we're looking for very reliable players here. Everyone else here is 86% or higher, except for Sandyshu. Sandyshu, could you explain that 73% RR sufficiently that we'll let you in? We need you reliable if you're in this.

And to answer JamesYanik's question, it has to be at least 2 day phases. I'll do 3 if people want to give a bit more coordination time, but if we do that, I would appreciate it if people ready up a bit sooner once plans are settled. Comments/thoughts on phase length are appreciated here. So need one more, possibly two if SandyShu isn't able to justify that RR:
Team "Bomb 'em"
1.Dargorygel the Grynch
2. ND
3. Chaqa
4. MoscowFleet
5.

Team "Give Peace a Chance"

I'll play if you've got nobody else.
I'll defer to any more enthusiastic prospects, however.

slypups (1889 )
28 Apr 17 UTC

This isn't a Liberal v Conservative rematch - I changed the team names up a bit to give more flexibility in case people wanted to move around. It looks like "Give Peace a Chance" could be mostly the same teammates, though, which is fine.

slypups (1889 )
28 Apr 17 UTC

Thanks snowy801 - put yourself on the list if you want, or I'll contact you if we're struggling to fill out the squads. This is a different cooperative experience from what you see in most games. There is no concern that your ally might stab you here, and no need to be deceptive with your allies for later advantage - it's all about a team victory, and a bit of trash talk in global. The more interesting part is communication practice for tactics, and learning from each other to identify and counter the tactics of the opposition.

snowy801 (591 )
28 Apr 17 UTC

I'm not sure about the rest of that, but I can fill the trash talk quota of any team.

also 2 or 3 day phases sound awesome.
