Modern Diplomacy Invitational Replacement

Who would play a live game tonight?

I've come to realize that I don't have the patience for non-live games much. I need a minimum of 2 days/phase to have the free time to conduct diplomacy appropriately well, and that ends up being too long a game for me to maintain interest. However a live game (being no more than a 3-4 hr chunk of time) is pretty manageable. So I wanna play one.

Who's in?

I'm a Godfather!

I just became a Godfather and I'm wicked excited! With Christmas and his baptism coming up, I want to start thinking about things to do now and in the future. Obviously, it will largely depend on what the parents want, but I was hoping some people could share their thoughts on being a Godparent.
Thanks!

The Greatest People in History Tournament--Nominations

We've done Literature, we've done Music...so, since we're a history-happy lot, why not tackle the (impossible but fun) task of asking "Who was the better general, Alexander or Genghis Khan?" (Though bobgenghiskhan is clearly the answer.) 4 categories: Military/Political Leaders, Artists, Inventors/Scientists, and a "Grab-Bag" category, for all the folks who don't fit in elsewhere. Nominate 1 for each category, and we'll start when we have 64 (or 128, either way.)

Haha, yeah, that was a typo. At first I was listing the dead first, but then I changed it. I should've been more thorough to insure that I didn't have any silly stuff like that in there.

TrPrado (461 )
08 Dec 14 UTC

Bump because we need nominations.

Jeff Kuta (2066 )
08 Dec 14 UTC

Of the short lists for adds:

LEADERS
Henry VIII
George Washington
Julius Caesar

Seriously. These three need to be on the list. There are many confirmed entrants that would be crushed by any of those above.

WILD CARD
Socrates
Andrew Carnegie
Steve Jobs

And as a side... no Aristotle?

TrPrado (461 )
08 Dec 14 UTC

I kind of wish Julius Caesar could replace Octavian because most of Octavian's accomplishments are so intertwined with Caesar. Also, Aristotle has already been nominated as a Scientist. Some people should try reading the whole nominations list.

TrPrado (461 )
08 Dec 14 UTC

Should Aristotle be the one I switch with Leibniz?

Jeff Kuta (2066 )

LEADERS
Henry VIII
George Washington
Julius Caesar

Just add them already.

VashtaNeurotic (2394 )
08 Dec 14 UTC

@Jeff:The king of being wrong is on there.

TrPrado (461 )
08 Dec 14 UTC

dipplayer: They need to be individually nominated by someone who has not nominated anyone for the Leader category. Those were his top 3 picks from the suggestion list.

TrPrado (461 )
08 Dec 14 UTC

Vashta: That's part of why I want him to be a Wild Card instead of Scientist, but he had a huge mark on science in Europe and the Middle East. He was a starting point for a number of major critiques, and the basis for several scientific advances. That's why I'm asking for consensus before I outright move him.

Jeff Kuta (2066 )

@TrPrado: At this point, do we really need to get more individual nominations? You've had a pretty good turnout so far, some two dozen and change. I think it's perfectly reasonable for you, as organizer, to be making judgments and "fill up the corners" so all categories make sense and have the top flight candidates represented.

TrPrado (461 )
08 Dec 14 UTC

Our top 3 picks don't match up for Leader, so that sounds like an awful idea. I'm not even that official of an organizer. I was self-appointed several pages in. It's practically the equivalent of someone else stepping in. I'm only here because obi abandoned the project.

New list included my changed nomination. Removed Neil DeGrasse Tyson and added Norman Borlaug, who you should look up if you don't know.

TrPrado (461 )
08 Dec 14 UTC

Thank you, your not-so-subtly sarcastic bitchness, for a) recognizing my highness (I mean, I did make it to the suggestions list) and b) replacing a nomination of your own instead of just adding a second nomination to the Scientist list.

bo_sox48 (5202 )

I still say kestas was a valid option.

Your Humble Narrator (1922 )
09 Dec 14 UTC

Kestas is too OP to participate. It wouldn't even be a contest.

VashtaNeurotic (2394 )
09 Dec 14 UTC

Yeah. We have heard from pretty much everyone. George Washington should be a lock, Probably Caesar as well. Not sure on Henry VIII, most of the changes were incidental and I prefer a Russian Monarch in there (besides Elizabeth I (who will take FDR's place) is so much better. Socrates is a good choice, Gates beats out Jobs, and I prefer Morgan or Rockefeller over Carnegie, but still good choices.

mendax (321 )
09 Dec 14 UTC

I'd definitely agree with Elizabeth I > Henry VIII.

goldfinger0303 (3157 )
09 Dec 14 UTC

I pretty much agree with Vashta completely.....except maybe my order is Morgan>Carnegie>Rockefeller

VashtaNeurotic (2394 )
09 Dec 14 UTC

Also, come on, Peter the Great or even Catherine the Great are better than Henry VIII. And Elizabeth I will take FDR's place (which is not the best trade off, but it is what obi said would happen).

Your Humble Narrator (1922 )
09 Dec 14 UTC

Aw. FDR certainly merits inclusion above some of these guys...

VashtaNeurotic (2394 )
09 Dec 14 UTC

I think I have a solution.

I thought Peter the Great was already included?

Not classic Diplomacy

So I'm new, and just finding my way here. But I've been playing Diplomacy for almost 40 years (anyone else here?)! the interesting thing about the greatest game ever invented by a mailman, is that the main object isn't really stabbing someone, but learning to work together. and being trustworthy. Unfortunately, that's not a version this site espouses! Too bad, but i find the site enjoyable anyway.
