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?

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.

@HR, i have seen and know Irish Catholics adopt eastern philosophies, but also remain Catholic, so-called Buddhist Catholics, still consider themselves religiously Catholic, but philosophically Buddhist; apparently the two complement each other.

CAPT brad, chaos is a variant of the game diplomacy that requires 30+ players. they are petitioning to add it to this website. it is available on vdiplomacy, our sister website.

Of all the variants we could petition for a 34 player variant seems the least desirable. How often can we actually fill a 34 player variant when we can't even fill world or modern? If I were to petition for a variant it would be fog of war, or any of the 1v1 maps doing so well on vdip right now. Not a one off 34 player idea that will have 2 completed games a year and long term site value.

If you want chaos there's an awesome site called vdiplomacy which I'm sure will have no problem hosting it.

@CommanderByron you jave a poont about only getting one or two games of chaos per year.

I'd love to see an annual or twice annual 'event' officially in by the mods/tds with event notiications on the site supporting it. I think that would help us in several ways.

I don't know about a halloween event, or a christmas holiday based event... But it think it could be very interesting (and we could of course do different events at different times... Like the current world cup)

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.
