DAIDE AI

Does anyone know how to get new AIs for DAIDE? I've only played against Albert and I'd like to get new ones but each time I get one it tells me its the wrong version. If anyone can help enable a fellow Diplo addict I'd appreciate it!

This Time On Philosophy Weekly: Free As a (Causally-Determined) Bird

Right, so "causality" is apparently a four-letter word with my Philosophy of Religion professor, as for him there is absolutely no hearing an argument agaisnt free will, the whole, weeks-long discussion was led by him and emhpasized not IF we can have free will but rather HOW we DO have free will, ie, is it God, science, a balance, and on...so I present it to you, the WebDip Philosophical Community--CAN we have free will, if so to what degree, and if not, why, and is there any point to life?

Anonymous messages in-game

An idea went to my mind: what would you think of the option to write anonymous messages in your games? Parallel and independent to your regular comments of course.
Discuss here if it pleases you.

Rhyming game

This variant of the game seems like it can be a lot of fun. I had the pleasure of seeing one unfold about a year ago. Since I havent been on this site in so long, I have no idea if this has become a common trait among different games on this site now.
The rules are exactly the same as a normal dip game, but with one exception.
if you want to say something, you have to make it rhyme.

Decrimanalizing Marijuana

In Canada there is some discussion about decriminalizing Marijuana. It will still be against the law to use or distribute, but it will be punished by a ticket (like a traffic ticket) instead of a criminal record.

I am interested, if the group will have me.

Troodonte (3379 )
08 Nov 10 UTC

Of course Gobba :)
Post your buy-in limit please ;)

Gobba (2209 )
08 Nov 10 UTC

Anything in the 100 to 500 range would be fine.

Lando Calrissian (100 )
08 Nov 10 UTC

I am interested. I can afford this on the lower end. would prefer 100-250.

figlesquidge (2131 )
08 Nov 10 UTC

Very interested, will have to check a couple of minor details w.r.t my life schedule, but should be good

Barn3tt (41969 )
08 Nov 10 UTC

I'd like to join too. I would prefer a buy-in closer to 500 than 100.

Troodonte (3379 )

200

is ok Lando?

I'd prefer a buyin of 390 :D

figlesquidge (2131 )
08 Nov 10 UTC

Or 168 - 168 would be good

Lando Calrissian (100 )
08 Nov 10 UTC

200 is perfect. I am willing to go to 250 if the group would prefer something higher. 390 is too high for me, figle.

Gobba (2209 )
08 Nov 10 UTC

After thinking about it, I would prefer an odd number, between 121 and 437. It should also be a red number, and good with children and pets.

I'm in for the chance to beat on fig ;)

Troodonte (3379 )

250 is not bad I think :)

let's see if we get 2 more players and I'll create the game and send password via PM

I would like to play, and I am good with any pot under 500. 36 hour phases is perfect too

Who is this "Frank" guy, and what kind of name is "Frank" anyway?

Frank (100 )
08 Nov 10 UTC

When I introduced myself to a broad at the bar this summer, she responded with "Frank?! Are you, like, from the 1800s?"

Nonetheless, I am an enthusiastic goonbatter

rdrivera2005 (3533 )
08 Nov 10 UTC

Well, if there is still room, I would like to play.
Won´t miss a chance to play a gunboat with Strat (again), figle and Troodonte (again too)and the other fine players on this game.

Troodonte (3379 )
08 Nov 10 UTC

Well... Frank showed up 1st.
But, he has resigned 7% of his finished games, which mekes him less reliable than the others. I hate when people resigne.

My question to the others involved is if they consider this a valid criteria to not include someone in a game...

Hellenic Riot (1626 )
08 Nov 10 UTC

Wouldn't it be a case of, your game your choice?

figlesquidge (2131 )
08 Nov 10 UTC

I'd give him a chance to explain them first though Troo...

stratagos (3269 )
08 Nov 10 UTC

At least three of his resigns are in live gunboats. Not a great statistic, but it can be damn hard to keep those going...

vamosrammstein (757 )
08 Nov 10 UTC

If the first game is full, anybody interested in getting a second one going?

abgemacht (1076 )
08 Nov 10 UTC

Yeah, I'm usually pretty lenient when I see someone has only CD'd in live games. It isn't a great thing to do, but sometimes things irl come up and it's not like any every pauses a live game, so you usually have little choice.

Lando Calrissian (100 )
08 Nov 10 UTC

I agree with abgemacht. I think resigns in live games happen. If you play enough of them you're bound to eventually run into internet issues, real life distractions or simply the game went far longer than you expected. I mean, w.r.t. my resigns, I think 3 of them happened on the same day when I lost internet connectivity for the night.

Frank (100 )
08 Nov 10 UTC

I have resigned 7 games out of 100, all live gunboats, and none in the past five or six months. Like Lando says, sometimes you get called away for 20 minutes or the game goes 4 or 5 hours and you can no longer just geeve about real life. Gutty, yes, but understandable, I feel.

podium (498 )
08 Nov 10 UTC

If the first one is full.Then maybe we can start a second one.There are some players who have expressed intrest that I believe that I've never played before so it will be good at seeing some differnt stratagies employed.

jcbryan97 (134 )
08 Nov 10 UTC

I'd be up for a game, if there's a second.

thatwasawkward (4690 )
08 Nov 10 UTC

Same here. I love gunboats.

Gobba (2209 )
08 Nov 10 UTC

Troo, just stick me in one of the games, I don't care which.
