Gunboat lovers, unite
Coming back from a slight hiatus, I'm looking for a gunboat game, WTA / 36h. Who's in? If there's enough interest, I'd like to start another series in the Tournament / Biggest Loser vein.
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
01 Dec 14 UTC
I'm in. I'd be happy to do 7 games of 25 D; fine with swapping for uniform placement or not.
Zmaj (215 D(B))
01 Dec 14 UTC
I'm in for any gunboat game above 12h.
Yaleunc (11052 D(B))
01 Dec 14 UTC
I'll play if it is one game. Chaqa is trying to put together a high quality 7-game series with 100 buy in but we still need one or two so if that happens I probably wouldn't be up for 7 here but definitely one.
Hi minister. Id be up for gbs if my points available allow.
Code Bomb (100 D)
01 Dec 14 UTC
I'll play as well, if my points are okay.
Ah yes, I remembered Chaqa's thread but couldnt find it anymore. Unfortunately I don't have 700 D lying around. If point entry goes down on that I'd be happy to join there too.

I prefer playing a high pot, but good entrants are more important, so quite willing to drop to bargain prices. Please also let me know if you want to play a series:

Player (single game, series)

- TMOW (yes, yes)
- Valis (yes, yes)
- Zmaj (yes, ?)
- Yaleunc (yes, depends)
- Lando (yes, ?)
- Code Bomb (yes, ?)
- A_Tin_Can (???)

Valis also suggested to try out another scoring system. I'd be open to try one out, but frankly scoring systems do not significantly inform my game choices, so let me know what you guys think.
Code Bomb (100 D)
01 Dec 14 UTC
I'll do a series, if my points allow
Zmaj (215 D(B))
01 Dec 14 UTC
Two yes for me.
mendax (321 D)
01 Dec 14 UTC
Two yes for me also.
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
01 Dec 14 UTC
Maybe I should clarify, what was the "Tournament / Biggest Loser" system?
I would participate in either a single game or a series, provided that it doesn't run me up a bill of more than 300 D
yaks (218 D)
02 Dec 14 UTC
Im in, for either a single game or a series, as long as its at least 36 hr phases.
chluke (12292 D(G))

I'm game for single or series.
VirtualBob (224 D)

I could manage starting a single while we wait for Chaqa's series to start.

bump. Taken the liberty of updating the list
- Name (single, series)
----------------------------------------------------------------
- TMOW (yes, yes)
- Valis (yes, yes)
- Zmaj (yes, yes)
- mendax (yes, yes)
- YHN (yes, yes)
- yaks (yes, yes)
- chluke (yes, yes)
- Code Bomb (yes, yes if =<60 D total)
- Lando (yes, ?)
- Yaleunc (yes, probs not)
- VB (yes, no)
- A_Tin_Can (???)
VirtualBob (224 D)
03 Dec 14 UTC
We need a 7th over in Chaqa's series ... PM him directly if you want to join over there.
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
03 Dec 14 UTC
Wish I could but too rich for my blood, my understanding would be that only Zmaj and Yaleunc from over here would be available to afford it, and I believe they're already in.
chluke (12292 D(G))
04 Dec 14 UTC
Is there interest in starting this GB WTA/36 hour series now?
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
04 Dec 14 UTC
To be honest I PM'd MoW about it; I rather start earlier than later.
A_Tin_Can (2234 D)
04 Dec 14 UTC
Updated my preferences:

- Name (single, series)
----------------------------------------------------------------
- TMOW (yes, yes)
- Valis (yes, yes)
- Zmaj (yes, yes)
- mendax (yes, yes)
- YHN (yes, yes)
- yaks (yes, yes)
- chluke (yes, yes)
- Code Bomb (yes, yes if =<60 D total)
- Lando (yes, ?)
- Yaleunc (yes, probs not)
- VB (yes, no)
- A_Tin_Can (yes, yes if we do 3 at a time or fewer)
Balrog (219 D)
04 Dec 14 UTC
Count me in. But I won't be able to play more than one game.
- Name (single, series)
----------------------------------------------------------------
- TMOW (yes, yes)
- Valis (yes, yes)
- Zmaj (yes, yes)
- mendax (yes, yes)
- YHN (yes, yes)
- yaks (yes, yes)
- chluke (yes, yes)
- Code Bomb (yes, yes if =<60 D total)
- Lando (yes, ?)
- Yaleunc (yes, probs not)
- VB (yes, no)
- A_Tin_Can (yes, yes if we do 3 at a time or fewer)
-Balrog (yes, no)
The scoring system used in the GT and BL was:
------------------------
The scoring for the round will be as follows:
13 for each solo
1 / n * 12 for each draw, where n is the number of players in the draw
0 for each survive or defeat
--------------------------

I like the emphasis on the solo personally, but am open to experimenting. I'm not a big scoring buff though, so if y'all have suggestions feel free to jump in. If not, let's default to this.

I was waiting to see if we would have fourteen for a series, but it seems we don't. So I propose we do a 7 person 7 games series, in order of those applying. Some have issues with points and such, and I'm willing to accomodate. I suggest we do a three-game stagger system, 10 D buy-in. This should allow everybody to afford it.

- TMOW (yes, yes)
- Valis (yes, yes)
- Zmaj (yes, yes)
- Yaleunc (yes, depends)
- Lando (yes, yes)
- Code Bomb (yes, yes)
- A_Tin_Can (yes, yes)

Sub for Yaleunc:
- mendax (yes, yes)

@Yaleunc: let me know if you want the slot. If not, it can go to mendax on a first-come first-serve basis.

Apologies to the others who applied - I hope you get a good game going nonetheless.

Let me know if I missed anything.
I missed one thing: countries will be non-random.
Yaleunc (11052 D(B))
04 Dec 14 UTC
Just started Chaqa's 7 game series plus I have several other ongoing games so I will skip this series. I am still in if you need me for a single game though.
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
04 Dec 14 UTC
This is more than fine with me.

If it's only a single game, what kind of pot are we talking about?

@TMOW: A staggered series with non-random countries sounds excellent. I'm definitely in.

Russia Replacement in Classic Diplomacy-33
Hello everyone, we're looking for a Russia replacement in a high quality classic, anon, WTA game. Russia has a good strategic and (probably?) diplomatic position. The board is very even at 8-8-6-6-6 and the global chat decided it would be better to continue this amusing game rather than other options; there's no password on it and it is currently paused.

Altering the game for Italy?
In light of expert opinion such as this, "In a high-standard game, I would put Italy's chances of winning at zero, I'm afraid." The Game of Diplomacy by Richard Sharp, has there ever been serious consideration to altering the classic game to give Italy: i) two fleets instead of one to start, ii) another close-by neutral sc, or iii) some other incremental advantage?

Death of Tamir Rice
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-30172433
A 12-year-old, Tamir Rice, was shot by a police officer on Saturday. Rice was pointing a fake gun at citizens in a park, so police were called. The officer mistook it for a real gun, and asked Rice to put his hands up. Instead, Rice reached for the airsoft gun, which didn't have the orange tip to distinguish it as such, and was shot twice by the officer and died the following morning. Discuss
