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.

Reopening a closed investigation is a big deal. It means an indictment is very likely. She will have to stand trial for her crimes now. Justice.

What a ridiculous assclown thing to say.

People CONSTANTLY BRING UP THE CURRENT FUCKING ISSUES, you fucking moron.

But that doesn't mean that the unresolved shit from her past goes away. It simply ADDS TO THE FUCKING MOUNTAINOUS PILE OF CORRUPTION.

Are are you such a fucking mental midget sheep that you can only handle....what? 5? 6? 10? Hillary corruption and legal scandals at a time?

It's way beyond fucking Republican versus Democrat shit with this crook. It's a matter of do the american people want to have a fucking criminal enterprise lodged in the west wing?

If you are such a fucking follower that you will excuse all of Clinton's CRIMES just so that you can say "We got a "Democrat" in the White House" then YOU are part of the fucking problem.

Assclown.

The absolutism over the term "criminal" is a bit astonishing to see here. If you really think that Hillary's past actions constitute a greater threat to American national security than Trump's do, you probably have some cognitive dissonance to clear up for yourself.

Like really, I know the legal system is totally flawless but...come on? Even if she was guilty of treason, I'd like to think that we're capable of weighing our candidates with a little more relative judgement?

Well the problem is using legal legitimacy as a political tool. Democrats are certainly guilty of it, but I think it really marks a character of desperation. As much as I want to respect many of the gop today for trying to uphold our legal system with integrity, the Republican party has just been driven off the deep end by hardliners with completely irrational agendas to promote. I'll give the Clintons and the Obamas the moral high ground every time when they get targeted by the misuse of our judicial system like this!

"Its looking at emails regarding anthony weiner. Not exactly reopening the case vs Hillary."

bb, it's explicitly discussing emails from the weiner investigation that they think might be relevant to Hillary's investigation. Pretending the connection hasn't been made is as bad as pretending that its existence proves Hillary's criminal behavior.

"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." - of course, the media is owned by vested interested who have donated to Hillary and Trump, they have reasons to promote certain types of stories, but not stray too far, because their owners will lose out if there is a revolution...

Yes, the FBI Director has confirmed that this is a re-opening of the FBI Criminal Probe into Hillary Clinton. Trump is not facing an FBI criminal probe.

Sorry that your candidate, Hillary Clinton, is corrupt and facing a criminal investigation. Sorry that you didn't nominate someone who had a clean record and wasn't facing a criminal investigation. Sorry that you are supporting someone who is clearly corrupt and criminal. It is time to face the facts, own it, accept it, own that you are supporting a criminal figure, and accept it.

Most people won't. Only the diehards will spin and try to defend Clinton's criminal behavior. The rest of us won't tolerate or accept it. Trump will win. We will make america great again and we are going to retake the White House.

Game over. You lose.

@ND - Trump's past facing criminal investigations on some crimes and is awaiting trial. Too bad they won't go to trial phase until after the election.

CommanderByron (801 D(S))

At this point im voting not because i care so much about POTUS but because the down ballot is so vital when I hate both candidates for Prez. In my state of PA we have a vote on whether state appointed judges should be required to retire at 70 or if that should be extended to 75. There are several states voting on minimum wage issues, marijuana legalization, and healthcare reform. These are points where our votes can count to actually affect our lives. these are examples of direct democracy wasted.

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.
