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?

If there was a 20% unemployment rate there would literally be riots and shanty towns like grapes of wrath kinda shit.

So in your opinion the Dept. Of Labor is colluding with Obama and Hillary to make the numbers look better.

Think of all those Republican Congressmen and Senators who can proudly claim they oversaw so much job growth. Guess its all a lie. Shameful.

Yes. Obama has stacked the Federal bureaucracy with sycophants. They will do anything to preserve their power including breaking the law, fudging numbers, etc.

So the Republican congress and Senate of 2010-2012, can claim no accomplishments with regards to job growth either.

No one can claim any achievements with regard to growth considering that we are at 18-20% unemployment.

Do you feel that Bush/Cheney were better leaders because they didnt fudge the numbers? 2007-08 Labor dept said unemployment hit 9.8, highest since 1982.

U6 has us at 10%, U3 has us at 5%

depending on how you measure the economy, these mean VERY different things. That said, REAL unemployment is at MOSt 10%.

for ALL measures of unemployment over time. An economists best friend :)

we were close to 20% in 2012. That was what Romney ran off of, but since then we're very clearly in a recovery curve, though you could make the argument it has been slow. Certainly investment has been stifled

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.
