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.)

"Hell, just the other day I told a new player asking something about muting players that it was OK to conduct diplomacy in non-private full press games via PM."

Why would that be necessary? You also forgot to mention anonymity, which is critical there.

To clarify the longstanding position of the moderator team let me address these topics only by their allowance via the rules.

1. Copy and Pasting private press: This is allowable inside of any type of game using individual press, or global press. This is not allowed outside of the game if the game is global press only, or no-press. This is allowed outside of the game if the game is full press. By outside of the game I mean forum, pm, external methods.

2. Screenshots of press: This is allowed inside of any type of game using individual press, or global press. This is not allowed outside of the game if the game is global press only, or no-press. This is allowed outside of the game if the game is full press. By outside of the game I mean forum, pm, external methods.

3. Faking Screenshots of press: This is allowed and falls under the same rules as #2 as to when it is allowed based on game press. This is not allowed if the faked screenshot implies a site error that ends in an investigation into a fake bug.

4: Discussing a game in pm or forum: Allowed (and always has been) if the game is full press, not allowed in global press or no-press games. Anonymous/non-anonymous does not impact this decision as breaking anonymity is allowed via site rules, lying about identity of anonymous players is also allowed. If you are in an anonymous gunboat or public press game and you do not know who else is in the game then the only people you may contact regarding the game are people who are not in any active games, and who do not have any points in play, as they are the only people you can safely assume are not in your game. Keep in mind that allying against or with someone due to their identity is metagaming, and may be punished.

5. Discussing a game via methods outside of the site: This is allowed if the game is full press. This is not allowed if the game is public and you are friends with the person you are talking too, as playing with friends in public games is not allowed via our meta-gaming rule. This is not allowed, and will result in significant point docks, if the game is global press or no press.

The key thing to understand here is that if you begin communicating with someone outside of the site about a full press game and begin doing so on a regular basis you are most likely entering into a violation of site meta-gaming rules. I also included some previous discussions below for those interested in previous views on these issues.

To add to what jmo said for rule #5 - this goes without saying, but worth nothing - discussing a game via outside methods only applies for full press, non-anon.

So, if you can bear with me for a second, I have a story to share:
I lost a clock the other day, and I sent out an email to my friends and colleagues explaining why I was "ticked off" and asking them to lend a "hand" to help me get my clock back "if they had the time." I got several +1s for it.

Ok, ok. It wasn't really my story. It was 2wl's story, but it's so good that I thought I would share it with my fellow webdippers. I promise I won't share the other story, 2wl. That's just between you and me, wink wink.

Hey, I noted that it wasn't my story. Did you want APA citation? Fine.

This is a funny story illustrating 2wl's wit (2wl, 2014, webdipmod's chat, p. 1360):

"I lost a clock the other day, and I sent out an email to my friends and colleagues explaining why I was "ticked off" and asking them to lend a "hand" to help me get my clock back "if they had the time." I got several +1s for it."

Correction on 2nd's note: There is currently nothing in the rules preventing people from talking about an anon full press game off the site. This is so long as you are not violating the separate rules related to metagaming.

To continue the chain of comedy cubes, I hereby add to jmo's not that an "anon" game is one where you cannot see the usernames of other players. Not just general internet anonymity. Glad to clear up something which I'm sure would cause a lot of confusion.
To add--

O wait no more mod checkers rip :(
Time to learn how to edit screenshots, I suppose.

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?
