Dip Directions?
In episode 11 of the Diplomacy Games podcast Kaner and I discussed longevity aspects and risk management of sites like webDip and vDip to ensure they grow and reduce the chances of going down (either technically speaking or perceptions of IP infringement). We said we'd create a thread for this for others to contribute. What do you reckon?

@Balki

I thought a good soap opera drama would add to the entertainment ;)

@Jamie
The extend thing was a bit silly. Midgame rule changes are always bad, but hey. The debate about whether or not I could actually self save last night was disconcerting but no harm done in the end. Live and learn.

Sorry Maniac.

@Tom

For a first timer you were great. Very solid performance. Glad I wasn't atrociously wrong on you too :p
DeathLlama8 (514 D)
22 Jan 17 UTC
Yeah, Tom was excellent this game.

Can anyone on Floodgates d4 explain why they followed me/DemonRHK onto him? Would be interested to hear their reasons for that scumread.
DeathLlama8 (514 D)
22 Jan 17 UTC
Also feedback for my scum play would be appreciated. I feel that I started strong but overall didn't do that great of a job staying hidden.
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))
22 Jan 17 UTC
You were definitely the best scum player DL. But all of you made very poor night kill choices throughout...
Kakarroto (128 D)
22 Jan 17 UTC
@Jamie thanks for the info! Also @Chaqa and you thank you for the setup and your work.

@DL why I went on flood? I wanted to see who goes for that unlikely target, to get more information. Problem is, it worked too good and I couldn't go off him without risking a tie which would give us not good information.
Durga (3609 D)
22 Jan 17 UTC
I followed Warden + Kaka onto flood because no one was listening to me and the wagon on Flum was dumb as all hell.

Anyway, who's GMing the next game? Can I do it?
Chaqa (3971 D(B))
22 Jan 17 UTC
I believe Maniac has M27. I know I have M30. Not sure who has the two between.

@HR: I still think you shouldn't have been able to self save. Oh well.

There's a few discussion points Jamie and I have to bring to the group/council for some futureproofing and suggestions, but that can wait a day or two. Let's all just destress.
Durga (3609 D)
22 Jan 17 UTC
Ahaha I like all the anguish I caused the scum team.. Really should have killed me with xorx or teacon.

@Great Council: What is the GM list.
Fluminator (1500 D)
22 Jan 17 UTC
I played badly this game but glad we still won. GG scum.
I think Demon deserves MVP for this. She didn't care in the beginning but she really turned up the heat in the middle and got scum lynched before HR woke up and started playing. If anything she caused HR to wake up.
Fluminator (1500 D)
23 Jan 17 UTC
Tbh, I do think both hr and demon played good games near the end (HR after he dropped his stupid wagon on me), but the reward should go to balki or brain or ghug for taking the night kill as a VT and the only reason town won was because of the bucket loads of PRs alive at the end.
It's easy to lead town as a PR. It's when VTs can pull things off that's impressive.
I also need to go back and read what the doppelganger role was. Maf didn't seem to have many powerful roles
Chaqa (3971 D(B))
23 Jan 17 UTC
I'll admit, I misunderstood the Doppelganger role a bit early on. When I initially read it, I thought he had to choose a person every night, and if they died, then he got their powers. I didn't realize it was so weak.
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
23 Jan 17 UTC
IMO, Mafia wasted their Poisoner, in particular. A kill that's immune to the Doc-save is powerful, and should be held until you're 100% certain of your target.
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
23 Jan 17 UTC
As for Doppelganger, it does seem weak. I applied it exactly as it exists in Mafiascum, but I guess when it's seen there, there usually aren't 26 players, so the chance of hitting a Town PR is higher.
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))
23 Jan 17 UTC
I'm not sure it's a case of waking me up. I get more active as a game goes on because I certainly don't have time to get reads on 25 players whereas reads on 15 is doable; and it coincided with work getting quieter and quieter for me as it's now the dead months of the catering industry. So it all came together for me to have a lot more time to analyse rather than just go on gut feel - the massive difference in depth on the Flum case vs the rdrivera case are the illustration of that.
Durga (3609 D)
23 Jan 17 UTC
I wonder if anyone even read your Flum case.
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))
23 Jan 17 UTC
I'm not sure. I genuinely started typing it up as soon as I got home from work, but that was like 50 minutes rom EoD and it takes quite a while to write a case that big. It had about half an hour and a lot of townies seemed to buy it (Tom, Ezio, dargorygel, and Kaka), so I guess they must've at least skimmed it.
Fluminator (1500 D)
23 Jan 17 UTC
yeah wtf. that case was trash. You scum read me for questioning a bunch of people.
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))
23 Jan 17 UTC
No, I scumread you for agreeing with a bunch of people. Too many people. :p
Fluminator (1500 D)
23 Jan 17 UTC
No, I had overlapping scum reads with other people. Which is likely considering there aren't that many players.
Fluminator (1500 D)
23 Jan 17 UTC
You're lucky I fought back hard enough saving you the embarrassment of my flip.
Durga (3609 D)
23 Jan 17 UTC
Also, to everyone reading the game - that is just what happens when HR and I have to work together in some capacity. It is entirely normal.
Fluminator (1500 D)
23 Jan 17 UTC
Yeah, they're already best friends again. :P
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))
23 Jan 17 UTC
The embarrassment of your flip would've saved my strong townread Floodgates from being flipped, so it would've cancelled out to zero, Flum. :p
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))
23 Jan 17 UTC
To be honest I only kept the arguing going the last few days just for the people viewing :D
Durga (3609 D)
23 Jan 17 UTC
Floodgates was useless and lurker scummy which means he probably would have been lynched anyway whereas Flum was ACTUALLY townie and engaged. I regret nothing.
Fluminator (1500 D)
23 Jan 17 UTC
Well, I only kept arguing with you when you were confirmed PR for the giggles and you deserved it. :P
