So where did you hear about the game of Diplomacy?

I was just curious about where you guys heard about this game that I have come to really enjoy. I discovered it a few months back and we actually organized a game at my school which was going to be face to face and we would submit orders on a weekly basis. That didn't work so we were looking up virtual versions and came across this site thus I found you guys.

Game crashed?

I played gunboat game: gameID=135825 about a half hour ago and it crashed. Couldn't reach the site and now i'm wondering whether this was my problem or if the site was indeed unavailable for others too?
Other websites worked perfectly at the time.

Defence VS Offence

What do you think the strengths and weaknesses of defence VS offence are in war? I personally think that a good offence is 100 times better then a good solid defence. Having a good Defence on the other hand can destroy large numbers of enemies who may attack..... The unfortunate thing about it is most armies now days are mobile enough that they can maneuver around defences.

Draug tries to get addicted again...

OK, so I actually did enjoy myself in that last game, despite the ending and the current vitriol coming from Roka, so I'd like to try again. This will have to be limited to just 20

for now, but I want another group of top notch gunboat players (Roka need *not* apply) to try and teach me a lesson again. I made it to the top three last time. Think you can kill me earlier?

I wouldn't go as far as calling myself top notch, but if you'll have me I'll join.

Unfortunately oscar, any players that aren't experienced HQ gunboat players would ruin the experience Draugnar is going for.

@y2kjbk

I think the one gunboat game I finished on this site so far (gameID=134319) at least suggests that I'm not a moron that will ruin a game. But anyway, like I said, if Draug will have me I'll join. Otherwise, no hard feelings and good luck to you all.

y2kjbk (4846 )

I take it you've played a good amount of gunboat prior to joining this site? I agree that your showing in that game looks legitimate. Up to Draugnar.

If everyone could list their GB rating fro February and/or all time, it would help determine who should play and who shouldn't.

bo_sox48 (5202 )

I've updated the list with everyone who has expressed interest in order... up to Draug on who to play with I guess.

1. Draugnar - 1407

I'll create the game this evening and send out invites.

24 hours, WTA, anon, gunboat, 20 point buy-in.

Sorry, got busy last night. I *will* set it up tonight or today at lunch.

Draugnar (0 )
15 Feb 14 UTC

Game created and invites sent. For those wishing to monitor the game, it is gameID=135791 but no discussion, not even in PM. Despite his claims to the contrary, 2WL did not give roka blanket approval to discuss the game with just anyone while it was going on. 2WL thought roka meant with his possible replacements to see if they wanted to take over. Roka went to far. We won't have that this time around.

"My selection..." sounds like you are dolling out the privelage of playing with you...

That was to josunice's comment, lopt. I should have prefaced it. Sorry. And the game is already underway.
