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.

The fact that ND thinks the US media are remotely similar to Russian media shows just how ignorant he is.

Because if the Democrats were like Putin, Trump would be dead, his companies owned by Chelsea Clinton and FOX, Breitbart, etc. would be shut down and anyone associated with them in prison.

But of course for Americans who have zero experience outside of the US, it must be exactly the same!

It has been admitted that the republicans were investigating her (on Benghazi, several times) to reduce the chances of her election.

I can presume that other official investigations are similar, but they have failed to indict her - which means either A) she is not guilty or B) she is above the law.

Depends on what you think of the legitimacy of the US legal system.

But i have for years pointe out the fact that in responce to the financial crisis, Iceland tried it's prime minister for mis-managing the economy. While the US couldn't imagine having done similar. The difference? Pop: Iceland 300 thousand vs USA 300 million. Basically democracy doesn't work as well on larger scales. 1 thousands times the power of the Icelandic Prime Minister means the American President is 1 thousands times more distant from the people, and 1 thousand times harder to restrict/control.

"Because if the Democrats were like Putin, Trump would be dead"....


.......lol You should do a little research on the Clinton body count. If even a fraction are linked to the Clinton Crime Family, then I'd say they are quite efficient at eliminating threats. Mostly they just do it by destroying people, which is the path they have choosen with Trump. They save murder for those where cleaning up the trail of blood is a little easier.

There is no chance that she gets charged. Even if the FBI thinks it could be pertinent they rob themselves of any and all credibility if they touch her now. This is politics at play, ND.

Trump's "hand picked" instructors included criminals he'd feel comfortable with from child molester to various dead beats that failed in business.

I guess if Trump wins he will try to use his position to end all the court cases against him.

Awww....who's Killary going to hav to knock off to squish this one?

doesn't matter - the media will do the bare minimum to report (i.e. one time mention) and then ignore until the election is over.

Move along....nothing to see here....

If the FBI opened an investigation into trump, it would DOMINATE 70% of the news cycle.

Killary will be largely ignored. Democrat don't mind a felon in the office as long as it's their felon.

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.
