New Variant Trials Finished
Even though it wasn't a actual tournament or anything and the games were originally 'wait for ready up' and that stopped halfway through leading to a lot of cds... i figured as they've all come to an end i would post the "results" anyway

"Shut Down" Bullshit by Obama
If we don't Federal Workers to man the WWII memorial...how come we have enough to pay the guards to put up barricades and stand guard to prevents WWII vets from visiting? How come Obama still seems to have staff at his *golf course*?

Seems Barrack Dickhead Obama has a very selective vision of what "shut down" means...

DEBT CEILING NEGOTIATIONS
If nobody has ever negotiated on the Debt Ceiling, as Obama and the intellectually vacant around here say, …then how did we get Sequestration after the Debt Ceiling negotiations in 2011. Sequestration was *Obama’s* plan, by the way.

How very little intellectual integrity exists within you morally perverted Democrats…

Rank Questions
So how long does a player remain a Political Puppet and then move on to Member, Experienced, etc?

Is it a matter of how long you've played or how many times you've won or drawn? Or is it just based on time spent on the site? Just curious. Thanks for your help....

Diplomacy for the slow and old
Any interest in a 3 to 4 day phase game? I'd definitely want WTA, but buy-in, anonymity, and map (classic or modern) are up for debate. Drop a line and your preferences if interested. Thanks.

was lincoln great for our elite?
bill still seems to think the elite wanted to divide america so lincoln was a problem for them. but i am not so sure. lets say he did not declare war on the south and let the south kick out the norths military from their territory, would that have really benefited them much?

College Life
So a couple months ago I asked the WebDip community for advice for college. Many of you said that joining a frat would be a good idea, and at the very least I should check it out.
Well, on October 7th I am pledging to Theta Chi; are there any soon-to-be fellow frat mates on WebDip? What other fraternities are people a part of?

Fog of war variant
Correct me if there is already one, but wouldn't it be cool to have a variant with 'fog of war'? You would only be able to see enemy units in territories neighbouring your own territory/armies. The uncertainty would make things very interesting.. perhaps with additional distance limitations on conversation as well

Bump to re-inform all that there is to be no communication of any kind about the games between players until after they are finished. Failure to adhere to this policy could result in disqualification from the tournament.

This is to serve as a general reminder to all.

2ndWhiteLine (2596 D(B))
05 Mar 13 UTC
To remind everyone of Lando's policy one more time, no discussion of games until all games are finished. I would recommend everyone write a *brief* EOG for each group game for which they feel the need, otherwise this thread is going to be swamped.
TheMinisterOfWar (553 D)

Well, I still had Syria.
So EOGs should wait until all group games finish? Or do we post EOGs as individual games finish?
Mapu (362 D)
05 Mar 13 UTC
EoG's need to wait until all 7 games of the round are over. If you are bored, read the past few pages of this thread. There was a bit of controversy over it but it was all worked out.
That's what I remembered. But 2WLs post seemed to say different. </confusion>

Good game anyway guys.

What he meant was write an EOG for each game, but don't post it. Use notepad or something. Writing an EOG does not require postinging it.

Dear Diary,

I am in the gunboat tournament and in one of the games someone was so mean to me! Don't they understand that I wanted to be their friend? And I am playing a country I don't like to begin with! UGH. I'll bet they are ugly anyway. I can't wait until the group is over so I can tell everyone about this bully.

Until tomorrow.

gameID=110155 game 5 is over, 4 way draw. Score updated. Does nobody thin the draw anymore? Ugh...
Chaqa (3971 D(B))
06 Mar 13 UTC
There needs to be a way to limit the number in a draw . That would be a cool new feature. Or have a game force a solo.
2ndWhiteLine (2596 D(B))

Thin the draw? Don't know what you're talking about...gameID=102239
CSteinhardt (9560 D(B))

There's already a mechanism in place to limit the number in a draw. The number in a draw will never be larger than is agreed upon by all surviving players. :)
y2kjbk (4846 D(G))
06 Mar 13 UTC
@Chaqa: you want to make it easier to solo? That defeats the purpose of solos actually being worth a damn. We don't need or want rules to force/encourage infighting of the players blocking the solo attempt.
NigeeBaby (100 D(G))
06 Mar 13 UTC
Can't we just ban solos - everyone who puts up a DRAW vote should automatically get FULL PRESS and then it will be easier for them to coordinate moves, what about that?
NigeeBaby (100 D(G))
06 Mar 13 UTC
so 5 people draw and they all score 12/5 = 2.4 ??
Gen. Lee (7588 D(B))
06 Mar 13 UTC
I would assume so, or round down - it cant be worth the same as a 4 way.
Draugnar (0 DX)
06 Mar 13 UTC
@Chaqa - How do you force a solo when you could have a true stalemate? Hell, the best players in the game (not just this site, but in the world who play att he world dip championships) all agree that the perfectly played game withe equally skilled players will end in a stalemate.
