A few useful ideas:

War does not determine who is right - only who is left. ~Bertrand Russell

In war, truth is the first casualty. ~Aeschylus

To be successful at diplomacy you need to master the art of making people feel sorry for having forced you to stab them.

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, and that is about all you need to win at diplomacy.

People who think the game of Diplomacy is about stabbing will never be successful. Diplomacy is a game in which you must learn to stab your friends in such a way they enjoy the experience.

ghug, you act like this is the first time someone has ever requested a bounce in Bur before. Chill.

Italy, I'll repeat that a dmz in Pie would be great.

People do it. Doesn't mean it isn't fucking terrible for Germany.

I do have to wonder about Germany going to bat for Austria though. Maybe Sweden ain't such a sure thing?

I love you to ghug!

ubercacher16 (283 )

That's some great advice Jason.

ghug (5068 )
28 Aug 17 UTC

Ogion I care less about Austria doing well and more about Turkey being a transparent idiot. I'd rather he die early so people across the board don't benefit too much from his incompetence.

If you're about to go +3, I might bounce Sweden, as I've said, but in a vacuum I don't care deeply so your ally is.

Guys, I am sorry that I have been so busy and just readied orders without much diplomacy. Russia, I hope we are good bouncing in Galicia. At least I assume that you were moving towards Galicia and I am as well. So we can bounce or I will end up in there. But I am hoping bounce, so as to make people think that we are not the best of friends. Shh.

jengamaster (2132 )
28 Aug 17 UTC

Italy, please do not stab me from behind, I will be very comfortable endorsing a Juggernaut to your demise.

Germany, thanks for having my back. Central powers for life.

jengamaster (2132 )
28 Aug 17 UTC

Again I apologize for not engaging earlier, but my life has been totally hectic.

TrPrado (461 )
28 Aug 17 UTC

Oh it looks like there's one person who is left out of that talk.

So let me get this straight, you intended to bounce in Galicia, and readied up? You entered a move to Galicia without talking to Russia and were willing to stake a bet on it?

Monfils (0 )

Prada get out of here with thinking you're turkey

ghug (5068 )

Have you ever soloed a diplomacy game, Prado?

jengamaster (2132 )
28 Aug 17 UTC

TrPrado you stated that you intend to march on Austria. Should I have not taken that as a declaration of war?

I think it's great that I joined this gunboat game having not read a word of this forum thread and now I see that someone is casually sending way too much press to way too many people for me. Thanks, [redacted].

So, I totally thought this was a gunboat where only people from the forums could play cause I only read the thread title and not the contents of it lol. This is cool too though. I'm England. Ghug, Tom, I'm going to open towards Scandinavia and take it one turn at a time. We'll see where we are after the first moves.

ghug (5068 )

How come we have three Englands, but not a single person wants to pretend to be me?

michael_b (192 )

Looks like the game has progressed. Russia. Attack turkey and let me have Rumania!

Tom Bombadil (4023 )
28 Aug 17 UTC

Wow. Ok. That's not the opening I wanted from ENG. What gives ENG?

ghug - I don't actually think you are GER anymore, but I think its possible you are ENG. Seem to have the most to gain by pretending to be GER.

Real GER: I plan on moving Bur to Belgium. I'm hoping we can work together against the Englishman.

michael_b (192 )
28 Aug 17 UTC

@Italy. What gives man! Taking Trieste will kill both of us! Please return to Venice and try Munich thanks

jengamaster (2132 )
28 Aug 17 UTC

Russia I am happy that we were able to bounce in Galicia. I hope that we can work together to destroy the duplicitous Turk. I see that after he officially declared war on me, he moved to take an extremely aggressive stance against you.

Italy, your choice of actions against me is very disappointing. I understand that you want to get early builds, but making a mortal enemy in the first year, especially a wild card who would have no qualms throwing all of his centers to an opponent seems poorly thought out. Could you explain your course of actions?

jengamaster (2132 )

Countries ranked by treachery: 1. Italy, 2. England, 3. Turkey, 4. France

The other three countries have yet to accrue any treachery points.

Tom Bombadil (4023 )
28 Aug 17 UTC

Why am I on that list? I did exactly what I said I was going to do.

Ogion (3882 )
28 Aug 17 UTC

Works for me austria. I'm a bit Lannister that way.

Ogion (3882 )
28 Aug 17 UTC

Yeah. Tom is right. He did what any France would do.

Turkey, meanwhile.

Rival/hatred game variant

I'd like to play a game mode where each player is secretly given a unique rival (so no two players share a rival), and the only players counted at the end of the draw are those who have both survived and eliminated their rival. A solo doesn't need to eliminate their rival and rivals aren't necessarily symmetrical.

Unknown Player in Anonymous Private Game

I'm completely new to Diplomacy and this website. I made a private game and explained to my friends how to join my private match. Though only 2 people say they've joined, I have 3 anonymous players other than myself registered. Is it possible one of them joined twice? I know by the time stamps that it was one of the first two players who joined the game, the times are only a minute apart, and I am wondering if the small time frame is just a player joining twice.

Vale Hugh Hefner

Hugh Hefner dies at age 91. A controversial character, extremely successful businessman, championed some Liberal causes, gay rights, marriage equality, Native American rights, gave many authors a break, eg Alex Haley, but also it has to be said, contributed to the objectification of women and exploited women for financial gain.

[Suggestion] Alternate winning conditions

vDiplomacy has a way to set up "alternate winning conditions", e.g. to customize how many turns are played and/or how many SCs need to be conquered before a winner is declared. For example, we can have a game of Classic running for 14 turns (Fall 1907).

FFS WHY?

Why does online Diplomacy give me Germany to start with in every single game I sign up for?
Seriously, does it use region-based IP-checking? Because I'd really like to try out different countries and strategies.
And no, taking over Leavers doesn't count because you always get a losing position way past the point of getting a proper strategy rolled out (that's why the original player threw the game)
