The game Hello my Brothers 3
It was clear from the first year that 3- 5 players were working together. That ruins the live games. Russia, England, and France made moves no one would make in a game with unknowns.

Pre-Pause for US Storm?
So pretty much the whole northern US is getting whacked by a storm, and I know I'm not the only person who might be without power for a good long time. Perhaps those of us in the path should vote pause, with the understanding that the other players should also pause if we vanish for a couple of days.

Leisurely Playing the Game of Diplomacy
Perhaps it's just me, but do some people take this game way too seriously? Here I am, playing Diplomacy for fun, countlessly running into people, other players, that I can't help but to assume have a dictionary nearby whenever they play the game. Intimidation via vernacular, if you will. And to be honest, I find this concept incredibly humorous. Anybody else?

Pick up Italy in a locked 24 hr low-stakes WTA game?
gameID=46247

Italy is at 7 SCs but about to hit 5. The players in the game have been very dependable -- no other NMRs up to 1905. A good bet for a decent player who enjoys negotiation. The password is playfair.

This Time On Philosophy Weekly: "Will you be kind enough to justify your existence?"
The above quote is from my SECOND-favorite playwright of all-time (we ALL know who my favorite is) Mr. George Bernard Shaw, who was staunchly of the opinion that life SHOULD have a purpose, and that if it didn't...well, he didn't look kindly on that, but let's focus on the positive--IS there such a thing as "purpose/justifying your existence?" Is it granted naturally, or obtained? Can it be lost? WHAT IS IT? And if there IS no justification for existence...what THEN?

Anonymous games are evil - discuss
I consider FTF Diplomacy to be the purest. When playing FTF, you often know who are the players you are playing against, you know their history and how they play. This allows a more intricate diplomacy. By playing anonymous games on WebDiplomacy, we ignore the most fundamental side of FTF Diplomacy - history.

PPSC v WTA: A top 100 GR player fails to understand the controversy around 17 17 games
As so eloquently stated in a post yesterday, "PPSC is NOT a gentleman's game. PPSC isn't anything good."

Please elaborate. I promise a good faith attempt to try to understand why PPSC games are inherently evil.

In memory of charlesf
charlesf appeared on the webdip scene on December 10th of 2010. He had one bad game experience so came to the forum to both talk about how this site could be better and to get a better quality game going.

He was last seen on January 10th of 2011 when he had the audacity to leave his country in Civil Disorder in that game.

Diplomacy: Best approach?
I'd just like to discuss about how to approach in compromise and resolve through diplomacy. I'd like to know your guys opinions about what you think is the best form of diplomacy.

I'd also like to ask your guys opinions about what basis you guys form when creating an alliance. As in, do you guys form rules to be kept when you guys make an alliance?

I'm ok with changing High pot to high quality... but there will have to be some kind of filter. You fit in the criteria of high qualility, of course, Jesus ;)

It will be 250 D buy-in.
Everyone agrees?

If we don't get a 7th we do a lower bet and include Jesus. How much are you able to pay JP (I imagine you will spare the 15 you need for the gunboat tournament final...)?

Troodonte (3379 D)
27 Jan 11 UTC
Do the other players still want to play with a lower bet or is there anyone only interested in a high pot game?

We still have the option of creating 2 games... 1 low pot (70 buy-in) and another higher (200 buy-in) .
Jp would play one and IKE the other.

Who from other 6 want to play both?

Talisker: as for the queen thing... not sure if I get it wrong...but the thread is pretty clear and ass doesn't seem to be very polite or nice... but, again, English isn't my mother tongue, so I might get a wrong interpretation...
Gobba (2209 D(G))
