But, zultar, people should do what I say, and I'm all about efficiency (per my Meyers-Briggs personality type)...

People on the top list are free to add their names to the 2nd game as well. As you can see, the list is organized by GR.

Mastermind indeed.

Thanks, Barn3tt, organizing by GR is a great idea, and if people in game one want to play multiple games, they can put their name in the game two list as well.

PS - I think Jim will check in tonight, he actually has a job and doesn't have access to webDip any time of day...

Someone has too much time on his hand...

Don't we all?

I'll always play more GB games.

I can play 24 hr per turn games. I don't have the flexibility to play 5 min or 12 hr games.

What is this "job" of which you speak?

I could do a live game with him as well, depending on the day and time. I'm sure we could put together a high quality live game, there's usually enough good gunboat players on during a given night.

I'd like to get in that first game if possible, I need to get some revenge on Barn3tt for our last few gb games :)

Go ahead and bump yourself to the first game, 2WL. You and your points are always welcome. :)

Boo-yah!

I'm up for gunboats. My points are depleted, so it would have to be something I could afford.

sydney city? join me- pm me

I'll play as well.

Jim: What kind of phase length and buy-in are you looking for?

Greetings, Gunboat Snobs and Assorted Rabble.

I'm already late to this thread, so I'll just make a few brief comments.

1) I've signed up for the Spring Gunboat Tourney and am looking forward to playing some good, challenging games in that event. At this point, the tournament games are the only long ones I intend to play, because...

2) I am a live-game junkie. And I'm not particular about the format. As long as it's 5-minute phases on the classic map, I'll play. I've been a fairly regular live-game participant since becoming active on the site about five or six weeks ago. The live games are a lot of fun, and I've enjoyed playing with many of you already. But as you probably know, live games are plagued by NMRs and resignations.

3) So far in my relatively brief webdip career, I've won some, lost some, and drawn a lot. What I'm most proud of is that win, lose or draw, I've played out every position. Regardless of the medium, when I sign on for a game of Diplomacy, I take my commitment to the six other players seriously.

4) So, i guess what I'm really looking for is the opportunity to play live games with dedicated players. I'm sure I'm not alone in that desire. I'm having a lot of fun on webdip. It would be even more fun if there were either a tournament for live games or maybe a regular "league night" for live-game play. If something like that already exists, please point me to it, and if I have to pay my dues first to qualify, I'll pay my dues.

5) Finally, I've got zero free hobby time to invest in organizing either a live-game tournament or a live-game league night. I'm tapped out with all the crap I'm doing for the local and North American face-to-face hobbies. I'm afraid I can participate in this effort as a player only.

So, hopefully someone will step up. In the meantime, I'll off in search of a game.

PS And thanks, Everyone, for your interest.

I would play as well!

Jim - Glad to see your interest in the live game format. Let me confirm what I believe you are looking for. You want to be bale to play live gunboat diplomacy games with reliable players? There are those ont his site who want the same thing.

I have tried to organize a "beer league diplomacy" in the past, and have had little success. What I wanted was a weekly, ish, game with consistent and reliable players. Unfortunately, it was impossible to find out schedules let alone try and put something together.

I think with the tools of the internet that we should be able to do something, but I haven't figured out what.

There is also the idea of the google+ hangout, which I don't fully comprehend, that Thucydides seems to organize. This may tie in some way.

In short, I believe I am looking for the same thing as you, and perhaps this thread be be a rallying call that will finally succeed.

I would also love to be in on that. I really like the time crunch and feeling of live most of any type I think, but the NMRs make it very difficult to get a good game.
