1,408 balanced reduced latin squares.
Once a half a year or so ago on here, I mentioned this paper http://condor.depaul.edu/mash/Diplomacy.pdf and how I'd really like to get my hand on some of those squares. Well, Tim McMurry sent me 1,408 reduced latin squares to be used in balanced diplomacy tournaments.

The Art of Correspondence in the Game of Diplomacy
Hi folks, I just wanted to alert the webdip community to my new book. I've finally completed a two-year study of what makes for effective negotiations (and what doesn't work so well). http://www.amazon.com/Art-Correspondence-Game-Diplomacy-ebook/dp/B015XAJFM0/ Thanks, Conor

I think it's fairly on in the QT that Chaqa has the next one (as he's been asking since forever), and apparently DL has registered interest for after that (though I've not seen DL confirm that)

I haven't had that long to quell my rage at the most flimsy and coincidentally correct case I've seen yet. My case on SS was way more than just random lynch, yet you read nothing beyond that, just as an example of how annoying that was.

Good game all.

@WJessop – really an interesting setup and a very well administered game. As far as the setup goes, there were some great nuances here that didn't quite come into play. Jean Grey was a really fascinating role – would have been fun to see that one blossom. Also, Rogue and En Sabah Nur – would have been fun to see their powers come into play. Thanks for taking the time to write an interesting storyline to give the whole experience more polish.

@Town – glad to be in your foxhole. Yoyo and ghug, in particular, I’m not sure the mafia had much chance with you guys on the other side. I think the Chaqa read and kill was what really decided this game. So, MVP for Yoyo, in my book.

@Mafia and Maniac – you guys are scum! Seriously, I’m glad you’re dead. I just hate you so much.

@Yoyo -- thanks for your feedback, much appreciated :) ...I didn't expect to have so much work at my conference this week, gutted to miss the last Day/Night phase but so impressed by town in this game. Well play :)

@Balki: Thanks as well for the feedback; I'm glad to hear you thought the roles would have been interesting, even if they never managed to live up to what I imagined. Town just played too good. I was really looking forward to seeing Jean Grey flip too.

Good game, everyone.

@TrPrado - I read your case beyond the random lynch. It was good. If everyone didn't think you were scum by then, you probably would have got me lynched.
ghug (5068 D(B))
30 Sep 15 UTC
(+1)
I decided DL was scum when I was drunk sometime after the Tr lynch and I spent a ton of time trying to figure out how I came to this conclusion. It was really frustrating.
TrPrado (461 D)
30 Sep 15 UTC

I almost ended up getting you lynched anyway, albeit through ghug's voice instead of my own.
ghug (5068 D(B))
30 Sep 15 UTC

I thought my case was nonsense and was the result of a fundamental misread of everything you said?
TrPrado (461 D)
30 Sep 15 UTC
(+1)
It was. That's the point, your case almost led to you getting town killed.
ghug (5068 D(B))
30 Sep 15 UTC
(+1)
My point is that you're claiming what you did had no effect on my case, so it wouldn't have been you getting him lynched. Anyway, when's the next one? This one didn't really satisfy my mafia hunger.
TrPrado (461 D)

TrPrado (461 D)

I'm saying your case against me just about necessitated SS and I as scum partners, so by the act of flipping scum, a poorly constructed case was validated and got you to try for a lynch of SS.

Nah. I was sure you were scum, and I had a strong vibe SS was too, so I read it as a bus. He didn't need to be scum for you to be scum.

Yoyo was certainly the MVP by a distance in my opinion.
Not really much opportunity for a VT MVP since only one mafia got lynched.
None of the mafia did badly. Deathllama was the main one that had me fooled.
Thanks for GMing Jessop.

I think Balki should be the VT MVP.

I was really impressed by his commitment and contribution to the game.
Yoyoyozo (95 D)
01 Oct 15 UTC
(+1)
To be clear, for the peele in the God QT, the whole ghug code thing was bullshit. I wanted to see who would be for it. Deathllama lurked all night so i dropped it.

Top 100 GR game. Full press. Anon. WTA.
Hi all, I want to try and play one more game before I take a break again. Some games I played the past months have been great, others a bit disappointing. Overall I still think GR is the best indicator for a noNMR high level of press game, as it was three years ago before I returned to the site. So for my last game before my break I'd like to try and set up a top 100 GR game. Is there anyone out there willing to spar?

Off to work to play Diplomacy
Today I'm in the fantastic position that I'm off to work to play Diplomacy. Or at least, GM it. A local bank is setting up a game for 300 (!) employees, in a trajectory to kickstart discussions about trust and audacity in company culture. I'm really interested: have others ever used Diplomacy in a professional setting? Maybe we're on to something.

So I have permission to use a 3D printer for my boardgame prototype..
Now I need 3 D models to print and use as units. I need tanks, infantry, helicopters, planes, artillery, battleships, factories, territory markers (flags or more creative) and possibly the resources oil, iron, gold and aluminium depicted somehow..
Could I find files for those somewhere? Thoughts?
