Is this the highest stakes game played? Pot of 7000 . I notice three players have voted to draw already, how disappointing. This is one game I would like to see played to the death.
I have sent a message to the game mods about a no ingame messaging World XI game Im in days ago without reply - and I think its a clear case of either A) metagaming or B) Multi-account because the level of co-op without any supposed comms is unbelievable.
So far nothing at all from the mods - not even an acknowledgement of the mail - what should I do?
Supporters of Castro's disastrous regime in Cuba love to blame the United States for Havana's problems, but this article shows everything wrong in Cuba has one cause, Marxism.
While there is no doubt bullying is a major problem, and the suicides caused by it are tragedies, does making the kids who commit suicides tragic heroes encouraging more kidstake that route?
Suggest 1 TV show you think absolutely MUST be seen by others--and espeically those who are maybe in another country and not familiar with the show. The NEXT person who comes along must watch an episode of said show, and suggest one for the next person...and so on and so forth, until all shows ever to air on the Tube are watched by the WebDip community. :)
I don't know if anyone is interested in studying or analyzing things like that, but I am. When I was first starting to play diplomacy (back in, oh, February?), I immersed myself in reading all about the strategies and theories that people had written articles on. Since discovering this site (back in, oh, last week?) I've really come to enjoy the Ancient Med variant.
What are your thoughts on the Occupy Wall Street movement?
Also, I wonder what you all think of this http://nycga.cc/2011/09/30/declaration-of-the-occupation-of-new-york-city/ that the NYC general assembly passed
We have a game which we all agreed to pause because 1 player needed. Now that he's back everyone but another player clicked unpause. Is there any way to conctact an admin so he can unpause the game?
What are some of your favorite (mainly little-known, short-run) comics series?
My games are going south, so I have time for Forum jollies. I've had really good luck here soliciting ideas for TV shows to Netflix, so I'm trying to compile a list of interesting, oddball comic book titles that you've come across.
A Question, Doctor Who--And Sci-Fin In General--Fans:
The Terminator went back in time to kill Sarah and then John Connor. The Borg went back in time to stop First Contact and assimilate Earth. The Omega 13, for God's sake, allowed a do-over that let Tim Allen win. Why don't Doctor Who bad guys just travel back in time and kill him as a baby? (Also, wtf happened in this season finale...I'm STILL confused!) :p
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqqLn65gTaU Usually not a big SNL fan, just doesn't appeal to me...but they just NAILED the GOP Presidential race! (And for all you Ron Paul supporters out there...come on, THAT'S funny...and if Herman Cain gave a speech like tHAT, I'd vote for him...damn inspiring!) :p
Any other fans of the series interested in having a middle earth map for diplomacy? it is not on the to do list or planned at all, and i am just polling for thoughts on the topic. thoughts and ideas would be great, and if enough people want it then we can tell the mods and get it made, maybe.
@Diplomat - Are you gonna program it? The mods here aren't developers and most of the development is done by Kestas on the site. You should get Oli interested in developing it over at VDip, our sister site. If he gets it in and it is stable, then Kestas might add it to the site. But that's pretty much the only way we get variants.
I am not much of a programmer, only minorly competant in C++, so theres not much i can do. Note the last update was in 07, so theres been more testing since then i assume
Or you could use this map: http://www.variantbank.org/results/rules/f/fivearmies.htm Making map variants is not that complex, but it requires a lot of time-commitment. So if you want to try we might be able to help you at vdip, if not you have to wait till someone does the job... :-)
No, realistically, LotR is about good versus evil. There is no good and evil in Diplomacy. The idea of orcs working with dwarves is counter to Tolien's vision and should never be considered. Risk makes for a better LotR game as it is fixed sides.
This is an awful dip map. Almost no water, bad stalemate lines.
I don't know what the units are, but if Gondor and Arthedian both get fleets, they're fucked because they're useless and they won't be able to push on land.
If there is enough interest, I'd develop the map but I would ask to see Kestas original or variant code so as to keep mine inline with his and avoid potential bugs.
