The easiest way is to just run a hotspot from one of the students phones, and connect the computers to the hotspot.

Another way is to use a proxy server or VPN (though most schools large school districts can recognize these and block them)

What sometimes works is using a virtual machine. But I'm not sure if it's very reliable.

Sorry to hear that it's blocked, Diplomacy definitely isn't a conventional "game" I'm sure you don't have chess blocked on your computers, so why Diplomacy?

Did you try vpn or proxies?

e) Yeah, PPSC games are a horrible future.

I should have made it clearer, it's possible to organise a "board" game in a way that doesn't interfere with regular study requirements.
It could be used as an incentive, eg I had a great science teacher who would let us know each Monday what work he wanted to complete each week, and if we achieved that then the last lesson on Fridays could be used for any quiet activity we liked, most of us would do a fair amount of our weekend homework or read, draw etc, even play games.
Of course I didn't mean to suggest playing a game. should interfere with regular school work
For example you could run it as one move each day written orders submitted each morning, orders revealed / processed at lunch time with an overnight diplomacy period.

@Daddy27,
If you are serious, and not trolling then I think you are a disrespectful idiot.
It's you who are stupid and selfish, and probably some smart mouthed juvenile who thinks they know it all, and selfishly disrupts other people's endeavours to acquire knowledge and skills.
You sound like the sort of clown who wouldn't get through basic training, and would never be accepted into any elite team of professionals.
You'll probably end up as trailer trash being a parasite on society or in prison.
Unless you undergo a serious change in attitude and endevour and self discipline. Can't see you succeeding in pro sports business or any field with your current attitude.

I am glad you children that are being disrespectful on here are not my students. Cough cough Daddy27

Come on guys, there can definitely be worse habits than playing web diplomacy in class...

@MinorMichelle Who cares if he couldn't get through basic training? What kind of measure is that? Get over the jingoism. Unless of course you are the one trolling.

Guys be nice to @MajorMItchell those were the biggest words he knew how to look up, almost as big of a failure as his first several marriages

@MinorMitchell keep an eye on your Japanese blow-up doll too, she's a lot easy to catch then your mother was ;)

I think an entire school system is about to turn against him.

Hey mods, maybe lock this thread? Just a thought. It's useless at best.

"It's useless at best."

Careful with that logic, bo. You've already been banned once.

I complimented your mustache, abge. I thought that meant something to you...

@MajorMitchell you are telling me I have no future and you are the old man commenting on WebDip forums in your free time. While I am just a high schooler who has extra time in study hall to comment and play.

I think its funny all of these educators commenting about students playing webdip in school insteadnof learning but assuming some of these educators are in the US...they are on webdip during the school day.
Seems like Pots calling the Kettles black.

#blackcookwarelivesmatter

@MajorMitchell, try whining on another forum, maybe your chess club's website or something. I'm sure "big_dookie_69" would be thrilled to listen to your droning

As the Original Poster, I am astounded at what this thread has turned into

Our school tried to block WebDip.. But we found a way around it!

I played Chess, Poker, Bridge and Diplomacy at school. You guys saying you shouldn't play games at school are idiots. School is about education and games-playing in all sense is as much if not more beneficial to the development of minds than stuffing it full of facts. Mind you; mobile phones should not be accessible in school - there are far worse things, like cyber-bullying. Which brings me to: the gratuitous personal insults above are childish, some of you have lived down to my expectations.

Damn, I meant class not 'school' in that post.

Diplomacy isn't a "game", it's political science training. In fact, any self-respecting school ought to be granting course credits for running it on their computers.

If Daddy 27 was not trolling, it was his disrespectful comments about his teachers to which I object the most.
He can play as many games as be likes, but not, in my opinion in a maths, physics, chemistry, Latin, Greek, or English literature class, or even a Divinity class, that's the better name for a religious instruction class. (And I don't see that conflicting with my views on certain religions )
If a teacher chose to use it as part of their teaching of history or politics, then it might be acceptable, but that is the teacher's decision, not a students.

Teachers are not stupid because Dodo Daddy 27 declares them to be stupid.

You always have a future Dodo Daddy, what it will be is up to you, and it may well be successful, but some of your disrespectful and selfish attitudes and behaviors will have to change for you to achieve success, particularly in regard to bring part of a team of professionals

Mapu, nice wordplay, the minor Michelle tag
Did you know I picked that player name because it's the name of an Australian Cockatoo, which we sometimes call a galah, and a galah is sometimes what we call a flaming idiot.

Why would I need an overpriced blowup doll ?
I have two good hands, and the fire breathing MemSahib, Her Indoors, and no failed marriages

Although Mighty Mapu, the minor Michelle tag might be telling us more about your good self than it tells us anything a out me.
Back to the Test cricket, we've declared and the West Indies are having a bat now

Clarifications
Diplomacy is in my opinion, not suitable for being played in maths, physics chemistry Latin, etc classes

There are games that can be used as teaching tools, but it is the teacher's decision, not some student's decision.

In many ways games are part of learning, but in the appropriate places, eg sports, in "recess and lunch breaks or in, gee whiz the name helps give a clue, in playtime.

Typo...not ..bring part of a team..
Should be..... being part of a team.

I'm just going to ignore the massive amount of stupidity in this thread and casually drop the direct url, which may work for people who want to access the site from a place where it is banned.

I could have given that one out, jmo.
