Looking for the opinion of my esteemed peers out there
Is there ever a time when intentionally bouncing yourself would be a good strategy to confuse people you are playing with? If so what sorts of situations would be appropriate for that?

An allowance for Preference
Kestas, you are doing an excellent job moderating this site, and currently, in my opinion, this is the premier online Diplomacy site. I do think, however, that giving the creator of a game the option to set country preferences would give the game a new dynamic. This change would of course mean first-come, first-serve. I find that often players constantly receive the same country/coutries and this can lead to monotony(me-The German powers). Please consider this change.

Country selection.
I would like to know if there any system that defines the country that each player plays in a game. I mean, I played many times Italy and I got a bit bored. Also, I have yet to play a game with Turkey which is my favourite.

Is it just luck? Or is it connected with you DP or any other factor?

Sioraf V Sicarius
CJ 92(Sioraf as Killeens) is the most frequent poster on PlayDiplomacy.com and Sicarius is the most frequent poster on PHPDiplomacy.com so I thought it would be interesting to see who people prefer. This is not a popularity contest,this is an opinion poll by the way. Please read posts from both users before deciding.
1. Sioraf/CJ 92
2.Sicarius
3.Both/Neither

Sioraf V Sicarius !!!!that alone is evidence enough
I'm going to faint. Sioraf V SICARIUS. If the thread is about me AND Sicarius then how is it vain? I haven't paid myself a single compliment!

=============================================
US. But other than that I sympathise with you. Seriously. I'm far from an anarchist but the guys on Play think I'm incredibly vain just because I start a lot of topics which is quite daft.
How would me calling you a non-practicing deadhead make me a rascist? Is there another definition to deadhead that I'm not aware of?
No. Calling me a non-practicing deadhead would be bigotry. I guessed that you were a racist because you seemed to be insulting me for no genuine reason. I also took a guess that you were a sadist but I'm starting to doubt both accusations.
I don't know your race, so how could inslting you for no apparent reason make me a rascist?
You just said calling you a deadhead would be rascist??
Well I had no way of knowing that you didn't know my race and the only other reasons I could think of for insulting me for seemingly no reason are you being a bigot(which isn't true) or flaming for the fun of it which in hindsight is an outlandish guess because Diplomacy players usually are civilised and a bit smarter than the average person.

What have I posted that's bad about you? Go bully someone who deserves it and don't expect I'll believe you had respect for me you haven't even read the posts otherwise you would know that Sicarius is posting.

I have to give credit to Sioraf to be so audacious as to start this thread in the first place. It has certainly given me chuckle. Anyone here used to watch the English TV show "The Young Ones"? Rick used try get the his other housemates (Vivian the punk, Neil the Hippie, and Mike the cool guy) to vote on who was the most popular housemate. Of course Rick always used to vote for himself. But then as Vivian used to say "Rick is spelt with a silent P".
So I vote Sioraf as Killeens.
JM! Edi Birsan does and it makes no difference just because he's a Diplegend? Wrong. There's nothing wrong with playing Diplomacy anywhere one likes I mean c'mon man if I went over to England to play Diplomacy would I branded a traitor and a blueshirt? No. Another thing is swearing really what Kestas wants on this great site? Again the answer is in the negative. Look everyone the whole "traitor" thing was sorted out right here:http://www.playdiplomacy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=775&st=0&sk=t&sd=a .
Furthermore should I care if the sites still hate each other? No. Edi dosen't so why should I? We are Diplomacy players not barbaric tribesmen and are here to play, help and give our 2 cents.

I'm too young to remember The Young Ones but I have seen it on TV and it is considerably amusing indeed. Especially this scene:
Rick: I'm not sharing a bedroom with THAT rubber Johnny! All right Neil, shut up. Before you say anything I just tossed a coin for who gets the bed and you lost. It's completely fair and if you don't believe me, ask Mike.
Neil: [despondently] Oh, uh. Okay Rick.
Rick: What?
Neil: What?
Rick: What did you just say?
Neil: Huh?
Rick: You just called me a b*stard didn't you!?

You know, playdiplomacy stole the source code from phpDiplomacy so I am quite right in calling it traitor.
Have you looked at Play's side of the story? I don't think anyone but Kestas and Avalanche have the right to say who did or didn't do what to whose site. Are YOU a code expert Gobblydegook?
Oops. Although Gobbly de Gook would give you a name like a Dutch noble.

All possible diplmacy games.
Hi Guys,
Given the finite number of sc's and only 7 major powers, there has to be some sort of closure on all the possible games in diplomacy, i wonder what is the maximum possible number of practical diplomacy games. Practical considering that all 7 powers are played by 7 different reasonably logical people.

Very slow play so you don't have to check up on the game every day (and can skip weekends if you need to). Serious players wanted (none of those namby pamby players that drop out after 1902).
