Looking for the opinion of my esteemed peers out there

Is there ever a time when intentionally bouncing yourself would be a good strategy to confuse people you are playing with? If so what sorts of situations would be appropriate for that?

An allowance for Preference

Kestas, you are doing an excellent job moderating this site, and currently, in my opinion, this is the premier online Diplomacy site. I do think, however, that giving the creator of a game the option to set country preferences would give the game a new dynamic. This change would of course mean first-come, first-serve. I find that often players constantly receive the same country/coutries and this can lead to monotony(me-The German powers). Please consider this change.

Country selection.

I would like to know if there any system that defines the country that each player plays in a game. I mean, I played many times Italy and I got a bit bored. Also, I have yet to play a game with Turkey which is my favourite.

Is it just luck? Or is it connected with you DP or any other factor?

Sioraf V Sicarius

CJ 92(Sioraf as Killeens) is the most frequent poster on PlayDiplomacy.com and Sicarius is the most frequent poster on PHPDiplomacy.com so I thought it would be interesting to see who people prefer. This is not a popularity contest,this is an opinion poll by the way. Please read posts from both users before deciding.
1. Sioraf/CJ 92
2.Sicarius
3.Both/Neither

CJ...why did you write Sioraf (slash) CJ 92? Are you/him one in the same person? Why would we vote for BOTH Sioraf AND CJ 92? I don't get it. Multiaccounting will get you banned.

Ah yes we forgot to fill you in. My first account here was CJ 92 but then I decided I would prefer to use my real name and let the CJ 92 account get inactive and there was nothing wrong with this because CJ 92 and Sioraf were never in the same game, that is not multiaccounting so therfeore I am nowhere near getting banned.

Sometimes I post as CJ 92(the computer at school won't let me log in as Sioraf) but always PLAY as Sioraf.

I think this is a silly thread: Sioraf -1

But I did want to give you some help with your school account, I noticed that when I deleted my cookies at work, I was forced to log in again. This could give you the opportunity to log in from your school account as Sioraf.

@Darwin - there was an entire thread about a week or two ago dedicated to his name change - he was very open about it and Kestas even replied on the thread saying it was no problem.

Sioraf as Killeens (195 )
11 Nov 08 UTC

Please people this is not a Least Favourite Country poll don't post Sioraf -1 post Sicarius +1 or vice-versa.

As for you dingleberryjones why do you keep insulting me then running away? Have you no stomach for a proper flame battle? Are you a racist? A desciple of the Maquis de Sade? I never say a word bad to you or even about you and you insult not once but twice. I ask you to cease this ungentlemanly behaviour.

All possible diplmacy games.

Hi Guys,
Given the finite number of sc's and only 7 major powers, there has to be some sort of closure on all the possible games in diplomacy, i wonder what is the maximum possible number of practical diplomacy games. Practical considering that all 7 powers are played by 7 different reasonably logical people.

Big Money, Slow play

Come one, come all. Big money, winner takes all.
Very slow play so you don't have to check up on the game every day (and can skip weekends if you need to). Serious players wanted (none of those namby pamby players that drop out after 1902).
