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?

High turnout tends to lean Democratic, brain. There is a very obvious reason that suppression exists, and it's not because we live under tyrannical people.

The only problem I have is the interest on the national debt. Rates are low, but eventually they'll rise, and the solution is either inflate the money supply, actually quantities, gov't cuts, and tax increases.

it'll be bad, which is why we need to TRY to balance the yearly deficit. Obama hasn't been the worse, but he hasn't done us any favors at ALL. Trump wants to but doesn't know how, Clinton's economics are shaky at best, and Johnson DID balance a budget, but he's FAR from qualified in other areas.

so if there is a crash in the next 4 years, we're gonna get hurt. not 2008 levels, but ugh it won't be fun from a state gov't perspective either

What I like about Hillarys plans is theyre so transparent we know they wont pass. Hers are more likely to be a congressional bipartisan agreement. Gross but fair.

Trump now leads in RCP averages for North Carolina, Florida, Ohio, Iowa, and Nevada (he also leads in Georgia/Arizona/Nebraska #2.)

This brings his electoral total to 265.

He needs to pick one state from Clinton to win the election. Today there was a new poll in my state of Virginia.

here it is: http://news.hamptonu.edu/release/Hampton-University%27s-CPP-Latest-Poll-Shows-VA-Voter-Shift-from-Clinton-to-Trump-Post-Email-Investigation

The poll shows Trump up by +3 in VA.

I know that I, my wife, my parents, and everyone I know will be voting Trump in 6 days. Hopefully we can carry VA and win this thing for America and Mr. Trump.

@ND :"I know that I, my wife, my parents, and everyone I know will be voting Trump in 6 days."

How can you know that? You are 100% certain that you don't know a single person who would do anything other than vote for The Donald?
ND (879 D)
02 Nov 16 UTC
@James: They all told me they were. Most people keep their word from where I am from.

@Brainbomb: more tax cuts means less taxes you have to pay each year. An end to Obamacare means a return to a new alternatives where your premiums won't go up by 150% each year. That means you get to save more money.

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.
