On the contrary, that is a very representative example of a game on this site ;-)

Do you really think making people think the typical Diplomacy game takes 85 years is a good idea o_O

NOT The 2012 Public Press Final. ouch!

Can you edit that page? It really is a terrible example.

Yes, that's why I'm asking for suggestions.

How about gameID=17149 ? Solo win, no NMR, 3 eliminations, 2 minor survives and a major survive.

This one was very exciting. Shows the importance small countries play in preventing a solo:

And where's Conservative Man? Isn't he the Supreme Leader of Wikipedia or something?

Wtf happened in that world cup finals game... Germany and Russia both came back from 2/3 centers respectively?

And Italy came back from 1...

@abge, that was Diplomat33, and the Even-More-Supreme Leaders of Wikipedia banned him for being a troll and a jackass.

I like abge's suggestion of gameID=150781 because it shows why Italy should never stab Austria and why ghug sucks.

I dislike abge's suggestion because several of the players were idiots. You lost bo. Suck it.

If anything, my mistakes that game were all of the not attacking you variety.

Your mistake was not taking the key and tearing Turkey to bits. Why do you think he carved you up? Because you let him live.

Why would someone form a gunboat (no communication) game LIVE with 10 minute deadlines? I get it for negotiating games but it takes you 10 minutes to figure out your moves in a gunboat game?

Canceled? ^

Heh, I'm probably too biased toward my own full press games. But I'll post anyway because nostalgia.

"Walk to the Curb" gameID=98520 had me and UCLA as best frenemies forever, while Kyle FC would probably prefer to forget my own World Cup game gameID=97655 ever happened.

I also drew a whole bunch of games with Ghug, the last being a Triathlon game gameID=94180 if you don't count the aborted Henry Kissinger's Apex. "Full Disclosure" gameID=89081 was a lot of fun too.

Also really enjoyed my first brush with MadMarx in "Power of Diplomacy" gameID=80847.

This one was exciting throughout:

I was Germany, Austria wanted an Abschluss and he got one, just not the way he had in mind.
I still think I could have won somehow, even though the entire board instantly united against me..

Anyway I went from 8 to 13 in 1905, which I think is a decent achievement.

I guess it's because of the Leagues that people preferred being eliminated over working with me.

Advice on that one is welcome!

I enjoyed being frenemies with you in that game Tas

That game broke our draw streak, Tas. Shame on you for reminding me of it.

gameID=155106

This game had a pretty basic ending and featured three pretty basic alliances (R/T, E/F, CPA), which I think makes it a decent example. There wasn't anything crazy that someone who has never seen a Diplomacy board before couldn't understand. It was just a good, fair game all around.

Also, there was an EOG thread, which could be a good thing to link alongside the game (threadID=1248729).

@bo a game with an EOG is a good idea.

Maybe a SoW game with the commentary would be good too.

I updated the page. Feel free to add..

I have a game that also contains all the press from the 7 powers. It's a weak ending, but a solid game otherwise

Yeah, Full Disclosure! Loved that game. Stumbling across my personal copy of the PDF is what got me to check this site again in the first place.

Bo's game is a pretty solid submission as well.

I posted the FULL DISCLOSURE game. What a great resource for a new player!
