Help! I'm new!
Hi everyone, I just joined this site a couple days ago. I understand relatively how to play Diplomacy, but I've only played in real life before. Typically, I've never been able to round up many friends to play the game because it takes so long, but I've played some games. Can anyone direct me to any resources so I can learn to play better? Sorry if there was a post like this, but I couldn't find it.

MLB Playoffs
Well fellas, we're down to the last day. The Mariners' drought continues, the Cards continue to somehow stay in it, the Jays thank the Lord finally get a win to push them to the #1 spot. The Nats also clinched home field advantage over the Dodgers.

Any WS predictions? Is it really the Cubs' year? Can the Dodgers finally make it? Who's going to surprise? My money is on the Jays duelling it out with the Giants, but of course I have a strong bias. What do you all think?

Trump wont win without Pennsylvania, Colorado, Nevada, or Virginia being a stunning upset in his favor. His avg defecits in those states is +4 (50,000)

Thats alot of 'decided' voters to miraculously sway. The level of undecided voters in this electio us/was/has been the historic lowest of our generation.

"and yet they are relying on polling data that, particularly in this year, is nothing more than anecdote. lol Poor, desperate fools..."

ANECDOTE

noun
a short and amusing or interesting story about a real incident or person.
"told anecdotes about his job"
synonyms: story, tale, narrative, incident; More
an account regarded as unreliable or hearsay.
"his wife's death has long been the subject of rumor and anecdote"


Anecdotes aren't representative of everyone. How do you not understand this?

And professional polls: ARE PAYED BY ACCURACY. "rigging the polls" is BAD in ALL SCENARIOS for them. Push HILLARY IN and you LOSE MONEY

who the hell would do that? Media polls: I'll concede that. but Trump hasn't been doing well in almost any polls

@brainbomb

the basic Trump road to victory: win all swings states, and pull a big one out from Clinton. That JUST pushes him over the line

Yanik is right. After 2008 gallup polls took so much negative flak from their bad polls in general head to head obama v romney they opted to discontinue doing h2h.

Even if Hillary wins, (which I strongly believe she will) the way the media, supporters, and internet handled Trump and his supporters only exacerbated the problem for future issues.
The battle will not be over after this election.

"And professional polls: ARE PAYED BY ACCURACY."

Absurd. The media itself conducts the majority of the polls internally.

And...again...thee is no mesure of accuracy on a poll a month out form an election...

....which is why....as I hav eput forth and your mind-numbed robots ignore...THAT is why there is the *sudden* tightening of the race in the polls even before Hillary's FBI issues resurfaced....because the FRAUDULENT MEDIA POLLS that hav shown massive wins for hillary a month, three weeks...two weeks out.....now must start to CORRECT their purposely biased polls to reflect reality...

....which is why suddenly...thought Trump is still the same Trump he was before....suddenly he is tied/in the margin of error to even winning in polls.

amazing.....who in their right mind believes that the american people have had a 10 point swing in their support for Trump over the past couple of weeks....and yet there it is....the bogus polls show a massiv euptick for Trump/downtick for Hillary....

.ie better get it right at the end (or within 5 points....they'll still be biased in the end...) or nobody will believe them next year.

....of course, the only poeple that believe them to begin with are the media sheeps like you people anyway...

You sad little puppets....why so angry? Your polls tell you it's in the bag!! And yet here yo uare...shrill as ever....screaming and vomitting your "She HAS to win..." anger all over the forum....

lol Sad litttle monkeys...

Peoples opinion in the general changes. Trump has a popularity among Democrats pretty close to Brock Turner at this point. That spike in numbers is irrelevant.

webDiplomacy continues to lose players
The number of players listed each month in the Ghostratings continues to decline. Every year, there is a peak around May/June. We peaked in 2011 with 3,571 players, and steadily lost players from then to now (if you don't count the 2013-2014 inflated numbers anomaly). This last May peak we hit 2,503. At this rate, I figure there will be seven of us left in 2029.

Frostweaver's Personal Comments on Live Gunboat-483
Just a note: I'm not playing in the game, just spectating and inputting my personal comments on the game's moves.

Classic opening moves were made by all countries - except for Turkey. Seems Turkey is susceptible to Russian retaliation from the Black Sea. Also quite interesting how Britain and France strayed away from the English Channel.

Facebook Diplomacy
I've discovered a bot that allows you to play chess on a Facebook Chat page using algebraic notation. Could someone conceivably create a Diplomacy adjudicator for a Facebook chat page? It might make Diplomacy more accessible as you can easily play with your friends without worrying for phase length, pauses etc. Would this be in any way possible? It's just a thought.
