On metagaming and Diplomacy - a few quotes
It seems that quite a few people here have a negative opinion on so-called "metagaming". Metagaming is a term for using information that is not usually available inside the game.
I think that metagaming IS the real Diplomacy. I've collected a few quotes by famous Diplomacy players that might be interesting for you:

WalnutCreek Game...
It's been in the "Open" tab because it is paused, and I finally opened up the game and saw they haven't been online for 500-700 days!!!! Someone should delete that game/tell them by email to draw/cancel. I'm sick of looking at that game.

Request for a Tournament Director - Grand Festive Diplomacy Tournament
This was a really great tournament which last began 2 years ago now. Since then thewonderllama has been unable to run this tournament. Much as I like to be reigning champion in a diplomacy tournament, I want to see this tournament revived. If there is anyone interested in reviving and running this tournament, I would love to hear from them, and will help them to realise it.

Is this time for that? Really?
It's almost over and I hope Austria learnt a very important lesson. Don't stab the gut who is holding down the stalemate line. He may just give it up.

CDing should reduce your ability to regenerate
Maybe this is just annoyance at having a game ruined, but I think CDing regularly should reduce how many points you get back when you go under 100.

Retreat after dislodgement
Suppose an army tries to move from A to B, however, it is being bounced and doesn't make it to B. In addition, another army (with support) enters A, so the army that was in A is forced to retreat.
Can it retreat to B?

God Created The Heaven And The Earth...And Deleted Humanity As A Facebook Friend
Just a fun idea I had at 4:30 in the morning--what if God had a Facebook account? (I already feel sillier just typing that lol...) :p
Is God the type who has like 1,000 friends and adds every person he meets, or the kind who has maybe 50 at the most and rarely talks too much...has he deleted us? Who's he friends with? What apps does he use? Or is God that guy who goes "Facebook is DUMB!"...and is a closeted Facebook fiend? ;) (Just have fun with it, no fighting....)

Notification Problem with a Game
On my home page, a message came up for a game, "This user was banned, see game for details." However, it's a "No in-game messaging, Anonymous players" game, so can't see the chatbox.
Not a problem as it would just mean we wouldn't details of who was banned - but the notification at the top of each page for that game won't disappear as the 'Global Notification' is still being marked as unread.

Donations
I didn't realise until today, but there is a donation link on the faq page... Trying to raise a little bit of capital (for whatever kestas chooses to spend it on)

I feel the enjoyment i have gotten from several years of playing diplomacy here is worth the investment.

Point will be awarded for:
* Wit
* Wisdom
* Intelligent Conversation
* Logic
* Laying out a smackdown on an ignorant doofus
* Laying out a smachdown on me in an amusing manner
* Me randomly deciding to alter your score
* Sci-Fi 'in' jokes

Points will be deducted for:
* Logical fallacies
* Trolling
* Telling me I'm fat. I'm not fat, I'm big-boned
* Saying I'm a narcissistic jackass for doing this. I'm well aware I'm a narcissistic jackass, but I'm also bored.
* Trying to be witty and failing miserably
* Trying to insult me and failing miserably
* Implying that the Mods / Kestas somehow "owe" you something when you don't like something that happens on the board/in your game
* Me randomly deciding to alter your score
* Reality TV 'in' jokes

Oh Draug....do I get a point?
stratagos (3269 D(S))
02 Sep 10 UTC
A Smachdown is a typoed smackdown.

Picking nits isn't a negative point generating activity. Everything you do doesn't generate points, they're only pulled out when you do something extraordinary, I get amused/annoyed, or I'm exceedingly bored.

But I'll give you +1 randomly for being the first person to post

1. A is not A
2. Lulz at webdiplomacy forum queers
3. You're so fat that when you were born your mama wanted to name you Diabetes
4. You're a narcissistic jackass
5. Stratagos...more like fatagos (double points?)
6. You don't even like understand the point of this forum...do you even know how to read?
7. The Mods owe me a big old tugjob everytime some dickhead refuses to submit his moves in a quick fashion. Worst site design ever.
8 You should randomly decide to alter my score.
9. We could make a forum thread comparing diplomacy to this year's hit new show, "bachelo pad." Stratagos is like, so Weatherman. We should vote him off too.

I win.

I think I should earn lots of points because I'm me. I am the Master of the Universe. I own all of your points so don't give out what isn't yours.
TGM earns 2 D for being TGM.
Draugnar earns a point for being himself as well.
FriedOkraBlues earns 10 D for being better then this stupid thread.

TMG you earn a point for calling Stragaos fat.
Acmac10 you lose a point for begging, I don't do handouts.

This is God. I have come to acmac's account.

Too bad God, I am The Master of the Universe and that makes my status higher than yours. I kill you and create a new God, one that does not have Crusades waged in his honor. Just like Zeus and Thor your dominance of the religions is now OVER.
