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.

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?

Let me know....

Possible? Good? Bad? Why?

Discuss.

So, a baby seal walks into a club.............

Christmas is around the corner, finals are around the corner and after a year on this site, I have 200 +1s. I think this calls for celebration. How do you feel?

Has anyone seen Brit Floyd, formally Aussie Floyd ? They are awesome.

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!

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.)

This is the thread for the discussion of various things. There is one thing here which will not be discussed.

See below.

Hey,

So I'm relatively new to this game (played 5 and won 1 of them). What's a good win percentage as a rookie player? Trying to figure out if I suck or if I'm any good.

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.

Gentlemen,

I'm having a debate with a friend of mine userID=30476, should games be cleaner or should they be filled with rabid cheating?

Inspired by the "Not Classic Diplomacy" and "Good win percentages" threads, there is a 10 ante WTA game that we just need 4 more people for. Ideally for people who want to try to step up a level. gameID=151870

Enjoying your PS4s? lol but now to the main issue:
North Korea vs Japan, if and more likely when it happens what betting do we have here? I have it 3:1 for Japan

I am starting a new Dip zine called "The Velvet Glove". Unlike the 'Diplomatic Pouch' and 'Diplomacy World', TVG is principally aimed at the online Hobby.

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?

Board 4 is absent one player for the tournament. I am looking for someone interested in joining the tournament. Priority is given to players that can pay the $10 buy-in with emphasis on reliable players. If none are forthcoming, I would accept any reliable player. DO NOT POST HERE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED. Message me privately since this is anonymous and you will be revealed after this board has completed.

This is worse than the Ferguson case. Pathetic.
