Rules Question:
The Southeastern European Team will like to know the answer to the following matter:
Is it allowed that team members talk about their games and advice each other on tactics, strategy, alliances etc?
That's the point of a team, isn't it?
Also, even if we don't allow it, how do we expect people to avoid talking about their games to the co-members of their teams?
I think all communication should be encouraged between team members, so that team behavior is encouraged!
I'm waiting for an official thesis on this so that we all know what the limits are.

I think you should be allowed to communicate within your team. The interesting issue would be if some games have finished and some not, because then people could work out which team is winning and attack them - this would surely be unfair.

denis and DJEcc24: If you don't mind also post here the Group A and B games you have created so that everyone can follow them if interested.

This will be a good thread. Thansk Hellalt.

B gunboat 1: gameID=19907

figles, that's A not B!

Oooh, sorry of course it is. :)

I see the game, group b gunboat, but I haven't been sent the pw yet. Is this some kind of evil way to keep me out of the game?

Ooh, I'm excited!

We should have some sort of kick-off ceremony.

I, as captain of Team Texas, hereby "kick-off" every other foreign team into the abyss where the belong and claim the beautiful trophy for its rightful owners from the great state of Texas!

Ahem. Was that what you had in mind?

@jimgov. the message says it was sent to you as well. look for it again and if you don;t see it i'll send you the deatils.
@everyone Team talks are allowed. you guys can talk all you want for tips on moves etc. just no telling other teams who is who. keep it anonymous!

:( Although I'm in a gunboat so it doesn't affect me, I don't see why you can't tell people. After all, if someone is prepared to give you an alliance because you claim to be their real-world political ally, why not! Imagine their reaction when it turns out they helped you kill off the person they thought you were!

Got it. Thanks.

Figle that is deceitful and shady and does not belong in diplomacy:p

In other words...brilliant!

I have to say I've never tried it - don't think I've played an anonymous "real" diplomacy game.

to be exact

Is there any possibility of someone other than Xapi setting up the Standard Board 2 for Group C? I only ask because I am very keen to get started - but totally understand if that is too much trouble.

Hey, I haven't gotten a password or e-mail or anything... how do i join?

the problem is not who sets up the game but that Xapi cannot play till Jan 31th.

Thanks hellalt - that makes perfect sense. I didn't realise Xapi was playing on that board as well.
