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

Oh thank God, Yoyo. I thought ND had rubbed off on you.

I think I deserve VT MVP cause I got Prado and Balki spearheaded the mislynch of an obvtown, but my ego's also huge so maybe it shouldn't be my pick.

Ghug, sigh, lol. Anyway, OB's code in the first five posts was awesome. Yoyo's vig play was awesome. Great cop scans from Flum. Hard to pick a MVP. I do think Ghug had a good game as VT though.

It's hard to decide between ghug and Balki. uclabb was not an obvtown. Besides he was useless so I was comfortable with his lynch. You also spearheaded Saladin, who was also town.

Honestly though, Yoyo's case on me was kind of BS. I thought I played a very poor d3, but not for the reasons outlined. I spent half of school yesterday lurking around wondering what to do

I have some announcements regarding the scoresheet, which can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sK1jeadbf2ZHEdOcJvH0ASg39YF9JUPVeGZYkQXnep4/edit?usp=sharing
These changes were both made some time ago but were never announced.

Draws count as 1 point (= a loss), down from 2 D, to represent the general rule that a draw is equivalent to a loss in Mafia. However, it's recommended that in future, GMs take measures to ensure that draws cannot happen (for example, in the event of a stalemated situation, the 3rd party role wins).

Modkills and replacements now count as 1 point (= a loss), regardless of whether your team won. This has been changed from -1 point, as it was previously, following a discussion with Valis over how that is too harsh.

If anyone dislikes this please PM me explaining why and how you would prefer it to be rated. I won't necessarily change it but I'm always open to opinions :)



With regard to stats, town now takes the lead overall on the site, with 5 wins, 2 draws, 5 losses! Mafia is trailing behind slightly with 4 wins, 2 draws, 6 losses, and 3rd party still only have that one victory from Hellenic Riot, putting them on 1 win, 2 draws, 6 losses.

Interestingly, following this game, no player with 4 or more games has a win % of over 50%. The highest win % (among players with 4 or more games) is at 50% held jointly by 7 players - Bo_Sox, CaptainMeme, DeathLlama, Ghug, ND, President Eden, and VashtaNeurotic. However, with some newcomers having some very strong opening records (namely Balki Bartokomous and SaladinSmith with 2 wins in 2 games, and Hellenic Riot with 2 wins in 3 games, including the only 3rd party win on the site), we can expect this to change soon.

This game gains several records for itself that are unlikely to be broken - the fastest victory, and the least mislynches. Yoyoyozo also gains the Most Accurate Vigilante award, which again is unlikely ever to change hands. OB_Gyn_Kenobi gains the award for being the only player in webDip history to make a mafia member shoot another mafia member. Thankfully, this game hasn't changed everything - Uclabb has still not survived to the end of a game, even with this one ending on N3.

Finally, Chaqa has gained an award! The highest loss streak is now his, with 5 losses in a row, taken from Thdfrance who is currently on a loss streak of 4. Unfortunately for Chaqa, he won't be able to defend this title next game since he's GMing - he'll have to work hard to keep losing in the games after to make sure he keeps his award.

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?

How does PPSC work?
I thought that in PPSC you always, no matter what, hey points according to the number of SCs you control. But someone in game told me that if you draw, all the points are split among survivors.

Can someone clarify for me?
