I'm moving up there in less than two weeks to start college, and I'd love to start a diplomacy club, or just play ftf games with anyone from the site who lives in town.

Needs a replacement TD. I don't have the time. If interested, please respond here.

We played a game similar to this a while back and it was lots of fun. You name a date, and whoever guesses what historical event happened then gets to name the next date. So on and so forth. No internet searches please.

This is the post game discussion thread for gameID=65556 . I was England, despite a good start (minus some early wonky mess up orders with my army that really didnt matter too much) I feel like I lost focus through half the battle and once france dropped out I was in an odd position. A strong juggernaught through most of the game. I was hoping and praying it would have crumbled earlier than it did and was just cringing as russia kept going west. Once his belly was popped it was over though.

We've got a pretty dedicated lot and we're looking for 1 more. 101 WTA, 2-day phases, non anon, classic game.

OK, the mod email is filled with requests to unpause games. Here are some pointers to help us out in getting those games unpaused.

Too many Multis again... I'm not going to name names or point fingers since we can't but it's getting to the point where I am playing half the time with multis and losing an assload of points. They are getting even more clever and using a new "slave" account every few games. Watch out fellow fair players.

Funny....the littel boy calls himself a "man",and yet so very often his posts are whiny, bitchy, little-boy posts asking for basic relationship advice. Since he knows mostly nothing about anything....should he have to change his name?


He is a dumbfuck, both poltiically and socially. How pathetic.....but I'm sure his Mommy is proud of him....<sigh...> (I hear she has a *firm grip* Isn't that right, eh? ConservativeMan???

Given all the rage against various users, and bile that some members of the site like to throw around I thought it might be nice to have a thread were we can celebrate the good side of our community.

Which is to say pay the person above you a compliment.

I just realized that I have been a member of the site for a little over a year.

I have always enjpyed civil discourse, where I can have a battle of philosophy, theology and history with someone while maintaining civil. With that in mind, I am thinking of going to a local mosque and asking if there is someone that would participate in an interfaith discussion. Are there others who enjoy this type of thing, or am I weird in this.

This is an essay for my English summer assignment. Note that I'm a sophomore in high school, so don't expect it to sound like an English major wrote it. Also, it's about a mentor of mine, dead or alive. I chose Jesus, and I hope that the atheists on here are unbiased enough to give a good review.

I currently don't have mod status, and most of the mods are on vacations, so fortknox has been handling all the unpause requests himself.

Thank you for your patience while we sort this out. Remember, you can upause games yourself by all voting to Unpause ingame.

The variant will show who's playing but not what country he or she is playing. Then the players are able to spot metagamers and possibly multi cheaters right away.
Please give feedback on idea and feasibility.

Who do you think the best actor/actress of all time is? Feel free to use good movies as examples.

I just wanted to publicly recognize Geofram for sitting for me for an extended period of time in which I had no time to properly pursue my Diplomacy games. He stepped up when I didn't have anyone to ask and ensured my opponents had an opponent instead of a CD.

Why post this in the forum? He deserves the kudos, and anyone who thinks more highly of him for this is icing on the cake.

President Obama gave a speech where he said he wanted Congress to "...start passing some bills to help our economy right now.”
What might those be Mr. President?

So ... what's the point of Gunboat?

I thought the draw of Diplomacy was supposed to be the wheeling, dealing and cajoling. I don't understand the appeal of taking away messaging.

I tested this on jDip and with my diplomacy intuition, but I just want to make sure I'm right...

The database was down for ~1 hour 30 minutes. I've added 3 hours to games to compensate.
The downtime was due to an automatic mysql update script but no script to restart the mysql service, which I've now added in. Apologies for the inconvenience

"In the web diplomacy forum, as a discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison or answer involving the Ankaran Cresent variant approaches 1."

(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law)

are no where to be found. I know this is likely to have been said before, but here's a big thank you to all that donated and to Kestas for the quick and seamless server transition.

Looking for seven of the top 100 people from this site to go play two games with seven of the top 100 people from facebook.

Everybody post the lyrics to your favorite songs. I'll post mine. Oh, and also, guess what the lyrics to my favorite song are about.

It is impossible to register to this game since the switch to the dedicated server, the validation page just refreshes. 6 of our group is already registered, but we cannot (and will not) start a game without the seventh member. If it is a browser issue, IExplorer, Firefox and Chrome are displaying this error.

Hope this will get resolved soon, I'm eager to play with my friends.

Or is it just me?

It seems I was talking to random people somewhere I'm not proud of about this, so I'm making a thread. Are people like Kim Jung Il and the leader of Iran "world leaders?" Either way, why?

On these forum threads, I have been offensive, to say the least. As an excuse, I would say it was because I have political differences with people that offend me....but, as suggested, that is just an excuse.

10 to get in, Classic game, Classic Rules, need 3 more

gameID=65396

Hi, I have a few friends who are trying to join, but when they register, they do not get a confirmation email. They have been trying over the past 72 hours and still no change.
Does anyone know when WebDip will have its servers fully set up?
Thanks
