Quality Live Game
I was considering starting a RP (Rulebook Press?) around 4pm EST (New York City Time). I was thinking 10 minute phases (assuming that the auto ready on retreat and builds will save us a ton of time) I would prefer if you have at least 10 games to your name and the bet will be 50 D. add your name in list format below. I will send out the Passwords at 3pm EST

Checking adjacent territories
Is there any way to check ahead of time, in any manner, if two territories are adjacent? There are some territories that seem adjacent, but I don't know if fleets can travel between them. I just don't know how to see if they are or not and don't want to take the chance they aren't and try to move somewhere only to find out the next move is impossible

Playtesting my boardgame online
Hello everyone,
version 1 of my boardgame is finished. It was brought to my attention that it's probably a good idea to test it online. Two things needed there: 1. players and
2. some sort of adjudicator to use, with which I can easily add and move around 6 unit types, factories, territory markers and 4 kinds of resources, while also keeping track of various variables (although that can be done fairly easily outside of the adjudicator).
Can you help with either of those?

New site feature: Voice chat press
Its simple you get a 7 player game public voice chat and webcam channel. So its like the closest thing to ftf Diplomacy since sliced bread. Can you imagine the look on Valis face when I build a fleet in Mar and hes in Italian Leponto. Come on webcam and voice chat would be hilarious.

Design Competition
See broadexpert.com if you want to help with the design of my start-up company. You may make some money. I'm not going to a design company for a reason though :-)

Meanwhile, I want to start a discussion: I have a debating competition coming up next week and one of the statements will be: 'High school students lack ambition'. If I'm against this statement, I thought it would be a good idea to bring up the company. I'm not sure whether that's socially acceptable though?

Or you could both just stop bickering and stop your attention-whoring.

Why initiate a discussion about MVPs to then turn conversation back to being all about brainbomb?

guak for mvp he was brilliant this game. let me explain why. for one he made himself too risky to convert while also signalling mafia all game he was solid. he did hardly having to say much of anything because of the early game uncertainty into D3.
guak mvp
brainbomb (290 D)

All other traitors who made themselves a bad candidate for conversion: balki, myself and vash got lynched.

The real reason for the free agency threat was to limit cult and mason future converts. narrows their target range of suitors

you had it right the first time. as in bo means no.
Fluminator (1500 D)
22 Jan 16 UTC
I think bo genuinely slipped, and tried to make it look like he meant to do it. We shouldn't give him too hard a time. It's true it made the fab role useless too.
Balki also had really good ideas to get his reads killed, and I'm sort of regretting I didn't think to claim tracker.
Brain claiming a role I'm not sure what his motive was, but I was hoping for a traitor to try to take a vig bullet for us. At the time I thought that was what he was doing, so I think all three don't deserve that much hate for their plays.
ghug (5068 D(B))
22 Jan 16 UTC
@ND, WardenDresden. Fucker left us and I'm still sour. semck too if I can have two of them.

I'd consider demanding bo's exclusion, but he makes it so easy, and I should always think selfishly first. There may be GMs I have various issues with, but GMing and playing are separate issues, and I can choose to quietly exclude myself from games run by such GMs in the future if I feel that their actions are strong enough to warrant banning.

I would request that anyone planning on running a game so differently set up from normal mafia tell us before signups start in the future. It's obviously cool if people want to do this again, but I found that the constantly changing roles made the game less interesting, so I'd like to be able to quietly exclude myself from those too without inconveniencing the GMs who planned for a certain number of players.


Flum for MVP, I think. The mafia PRs did a good job of getting themselves targeted for conversion while simultaneously not getting lynched, and since OB died early and Vecna got swapped out, that leaves Flum.

ghug and Balki for anti-MVP, Balki for getting a mafia-PR killed, and ghug for not bothering to take a minute to think through all the possibilities on night five, wrongly assuming that Flum would either shoot Jamie or Yoyo, giving the cult immediate victory or defeat.
TrPrado (461 D)
22 Jan 16 UTC
I think delarosa managing to shoot a cult leader and a Mafia PR was actually kind of impressive, even if he was pretty clearly town-sided.
WardenDresden (239 D(B))
22 Jan 16 UTC
What the fuck ghug!
And here I thought we parted on amiable terms.
I even followed the last couple days of this game on my own because I actually had the time again.

Id also say "maybe" Claesar. He was pretty good for a first timer.
ghug (5068 D(B))
22 Jan 16 UTC
@Flum, that was the worst part about the game. I was fully convinced you were on my team and ready to go out and fuck shit up and then I had to leave you.

@bb, that y2k shot was smart and I would definitely be pushing delarosa for MVP right now if town had won and it hadn't been on the back of meme tricking people into hammering themselves twice in a row (which he actually almost did).

@WD, I... I thought you were gone. Guess my plan worked. Come and play again. I promise not to scumread you for at least an hour. Don't ever leave me again.
ND (879 D)
22 Jan 16 UTC
There were a lot of good plays this game. It's hard to think of a true standout MVP in traditional terms, but i'll give it some more thought.
ND (879 D)
22 Jan 16 UTC
I will say.. and it is a critique of myself. You all know that I don't like to critique myself, but making a Fab-QM relationship was probably not ideal because it ended up rendering a role useless. I'll take that to heart.
Fluminator (1500 D)
22 Jan 16 UTC
I'm going to say, being a role and alignment that I knew I would stay the whole game made the game a lot easier for me I think. I had a set goal from the beginning that I had to accomplish and it was fun in hindsight. (Although I had a couple moments this game where I felt exasperated)
I'm not sure how I would have liked being a traitor.
ND (879 D)
22 Jan 16 UTC
Flum are you always a freaking PR? (I think there was one time you weren't)
WardenDresden (239 D(B))
22 Jan 16 UTC
Here I was planning my triumphant return in the signups for the next game, but it looks like my secret is out. I couldn't let such bitterness go without comment! Besides, I've only been gone for something like six months.

I will also second the notion of returning to a less role-swappy version of mafia for the next game. This one seemed like it would be awfully difficult on those people who can't be sure of their allegiance at any time. In either case, as cool as new formats may be, I'll always be a fan of classic with a select few extra power roles whenever that's an option.

I wasn't last game where HR lynched me for being too lazy to do anything.
ND (879 D)
22 Jan 16 UTC
Some people in these games just don't understand that "being lazy" is subjective. Lazy to one person may be hard work to another.
brainbomb (290 D)
22 Jan 16 UTC
This WardenDresden character seems interesting. Why would they be banned?
@bb: He stole ghug's woman and then ran away. Ghug was not expecting it.

ANyway, welcome back Warden!

Russian Opening to Silesia Spring '01
This opening has become a little personal favorite of mine, (if I am Russia, France or Italy) and am wondering if anyone has thoughts, experience, or tactics to share about it. Convincing Russia to do it if you are France or Italy can be difficult -- but well worth it for all involved. You need an imaginative Russian though.
