In all honesty
We tried this on vdip a while ago but It never really worked out, I still think its a cool concept though and was wondering if people here would like to try it. The idea is a classic game where you aren't allowed I lie. That doesn't mean you won't misdirect, or mislead people, but you can't outright lie.

How to get a sitter
My wife has reached full term and could go into labor any day now. So I figured I would go ahead and try and get sitters now while I have time (so that others don't have to wait later). The problem is I have no idea how the process works. What steps do I need to take?

Italian A Tyrolia to Munich has got to be one of the worst early game moves.
Unless this is carefully arranged bilaterally, I cannot possibly see any merit to this whatsoever. Yet I've been hit by it not once but multiple times recently, so clearly someone disagrees... so can someone tell me what the point of this move is?

China's Future
http://the-diplomat.com/2012/04/04/signs-of-a-new-tiananmen-in-china/?all=true
The title's misleadingly provocative, but this is an interesting analysis of how China's political system is facing real challenges.

Do people understand the meaning of diplomacy?
This is a very clever game, but I have to say there is a fine line between being diplomatic and lying your butt off, and I have to say I'm not impressed by the way some players play.

Forum Sadness...
There used to be a time when I used to keep refreshing my home page to see what was new on the forums. Now there's just so much trash talk and so many muted threads/people that my forum column on the home page is just empty. Screw you trolls. You ruined my webdip experience.

NEW GAME
Hi forum! I'm in two games right now and will drop down to 0 pretty soon. I'd like to start a new game with those interested. It will be:
WTA, non-anon (preferred), 2-day phases, 25 D buy-in. Please post interest below. I'll set up the game next week (likely), and if we generate enough interest, maybe multiple games.

^Actually, that's not the case, it's even better for Chanakya. and others: the above assumes no game can end in a draw, which of course increases everyone's solo chances ceteris paribus. In reality, I want to say that about half the games on the site end in draws, so your solo odds are really around 7%.

^ACTUALLY, even THAT isn't the case. Assuming no game can end in a solo, your odds of being in a draw are about 86%....lol

@Victorious, the calculations are done from scratch each time so if there is a necessary correction it is retroactive. But I didn't upload all the previous spreadsheets because that would take awhile and there are some display things I want to fix first before going back and doing that if I do that at all.

In particular, for New Entry and Re-Entry, that should be limited to the changed ranking column. The changed games and changed rating should still display.

You were in particular hit hard because almost a third of your games were PPSC World games.

Alderian, don't worry, it's not like PPSC is real Diplomacy anyways.
Annnd back above 100 for me :( well, it was nice being in the top 100 while it lasted

@Sandgoose - I preferred them on Ophelia, though, in Branagh's full-text Hamlet. But the opening stuff with the real dive and the sinking of the ship should make about 45 minutes of it less torturous.
Alderian (2425 D(S))

Draug, just poke yourself in the eye really good. Then while she goes to the movie with some friends, you go play poker with an eye patch.
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
02 Apr 12 UTC
Noooo, I'll do it, Draugnar. I'll poke your eye out with a rusty shiv, and then we'll go play some poker with MM. :)
Don't do that. When you get an eyepatch, people think you tough, and when people think you're tough, they want to find out how tough, and when they want to find out how tough, you end up in a roadside ditch.

Don't end up in a roadside ditch.

LOL! I like the one where he ends up with a house full of cats.
Hmm, looks like I'm plateauing out around the ~600 rank. Guess that means I need to get into bigger games just to stay where I am.
