Modern Diplomacy Invitational Replacement

Would anyone be interested joining an in-progress Modern Diplomacy game? We are currently in 1998, in what was a high-quality game until Egypt suddenly disappeared.

Who would play a live game tonight?

I've come to realize that I don't have the patience for non-live games much. I need a minimum of 2 days/phase to have the free time to conduct diplomacy appropriately well, and that ends up being too long a game for me to maintain interest. However a live game (being no more than a 3-4 hr chunk of time) is pretty manageable. So I wanna play one.

Who's in?

I'm a Godfather!

I just became a Godfather and I'm wicked excited! With Christmas and his baptism coming up, I want to start thinking about things to do now and in the future. Obviously, it will largely depend on what the parents want, but I was hoping some people could share their thoughts on being a Godparent.
Thanks!

The Greatest People in History Tournament--Nominations

We've done Literature, we've done Music...so, since we're a history-happy lot, why not tackle the (impossible but fun) task of asking "Who was the better general, Alexander or Genghis Khan?" (Though bobgenghiskhan is clearly the answer.) 4 categories: Military/Political Leaders, Artists, Inventors/Scientists, and a "Grab-Bag" category, for all the folks who don't fit in elsewhere. Nominate 1 for each category, and we'll start when we have 64 (or 128, either way.)

Vote for Wild Card: Elvis Presley. Highly influential musician.

And if you add him, put him into artist and put a current artist into Wild Card. Randall Munroe makes sense, because he could be put into at least 3 of the categories.

TrPrado (461 )

Updated lead:
Leaders:
George Washington
Elizabeth I
Julius Caesar (because fuck voting, he's Caesar)

Wild Cards:

Socrates
John D. Rockefeller (potentially, assuming there are no objections)

Any objections? If anyone says yes, voting continues and the call to end it is mute

TrPrado (461 )

VashtaNeurotic (2394 )

Objection. Morgan beats Rockefeller (Morgan actually bailed out the U.S Government), and fuck Caesar, Peter the Great didn't get stabbed by his closet advisor.

KingCyrus (511 )

Please do brackets, that would be so much easier!

VashtaNeurotic (2394 )
12 Dec 14 UTC

@Cyrus. Brackets are for the actual tournament. This is dciding who gets the last nominations.

TrPrado (461 )
12 Dec 14 UTC

Call to end voting has been denied. Blame Vashta.

VashtaNeurotic (2394 )

All someone has to do is vote for Caesar or Peter. And Morgan or Rockefeller.

Not classic Diplomacy

So I'm new, and just finding my way here. But I've been playing Diplomacy for almost 40 years (anyone else here?)! the interesting thing about the greatest game ever invented by a mailman, is that the main object isn't really stabbing someone, but learning to work together. and being trustworthy. Unfortunately, that's not a version this site espouses! Too bad, but i find the site enjoyable anyway.

Game stuck in PAUSE?

A game that involves me ("The classic Is the best") paused over the holiday and all players except one, who was last seen nearly two weeks ago, have long since voted un-pause. The remaining players would like to finish or draw the game.

Are we remaining 6 doomed to look at an unfinished game for eternity, should vanished player never return?
