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?

Hey --I'm being a good liberal. Just as liberals hae a nasty habit of redifining words in society that have long-standing meanings in order to push social agendas...so to are we now redifining "rigged".

It's joyous to misuse words and watch the silly liberals froth and spit their anger, even though they full well understand the connotations of how the word is being use.d

Begone, foul Chaqa, purveyor of falseness and negativity! BEGONE!

It's amusing that krellin's zerohedge links lie about what the pollsters are saying and then provide the very document showing what the pollsters are saying. It does make it easy to spot the bullshit--like "Changes in who's intending to vote can't explain the polls if overall turnout only shifted 2 points!" when the document itself talks about changes in the *composition* of turnout. But apparently krellin can't read, so, here we are.

@yanik I agree. But keep in mind that if Trump wins the general it will be fueled by white voters in mostly trump strongholds mass voting.

Yanik those numbers trend up or down everyday. Virginia was at +5 to +8 every other day. Polling data indicates early voting may have made nevada closer +7

Its a mess. But it isnt the office of the Presidency's job to fix it. Its congress and Senate that need a reasonable comprimise on Obamas desk.
Lethologica (203 D)
01 Nov 16 UTC
bb, Colorado has been outside the 4-to-6 range in RCP around 90% of the time since August, whether you look at two-way or four-way polling. It was Clinton +11.3 in mid-August and Trump +0.5 at the end of September, for pete's sake.
JamesYanik (548 D)

@brainbomb

Obama pushed it down everyone's throats, and it has become an ugly mess. so the Republicans say "We Need this Fixed!!!"

And although Obama hasn't offered much to congress, ALL them lazy bastards are taking their time. It's better to gain support by letting prices SOAR

that said, it's not a simple solution. People are simply paying the fine instead of buying healthcare insurance. Prices for those who are left are soaring b/c Obamacare completely ignored the "demand" part of Supply and Demand

7 years and 200+ votes to repeal with no suggestion whatsoever to replace it with anything not even a turtle with a thumbtack is pathetic.

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.
