So, HOW ABOUT THOSE METS?! :D Oh, and NFL WEEK 1 PICK 'EM!
Hi. What's new? :3 Um, something something Shakespeare...
And it's NFL Pick 'em Time...yes, time to pick a new commissioner! ;) Or, you know, divisions, wild cards, conference title games, and the Super Bowl winner. And of course the week by week picks--Steelers/Patriots go tomorrow, Sunday notables include Broncos/Ravens, Chargers/Lions, Giants/Cowboys, and my OH GOD WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE BLACK JERSEYS?! 49ers play Monday night! The Week 1 match-ups...pick 'em!

webDip-vDip crossover
Hello webDip!
I hail from your sister site, vDip, where I run under the handle TheatreVarus.
We are severely starved for players at the moment, and were hoping some of you could join up.
We have many available variants, including my current favorite, Viking Diplomacy.

For every user reading the forum, there are ten who glance over the headlines. If there is one woman rolling her eyes over the implied sexism, that's one too many.

I'll second wjessop's suggestion: point made, time for this thread to die.

It's the only reason I started the trend, on Page 3; to make a joke of it; and it should be empowering to know that many, many other people saw that purpose as well, to support female diplomacy players.

For all you and I know, some of the others posting other/likewise inane questions may be female players.
wjessop (100 DX)
01 Sep 15 UTC
Totally agree. I think the inane questions 'fun' can move somewhere else and this thread can just lock in hell.

I've restarted my "Does the Pope eat on Mondays?" question elsewhere, see y'all there.

Asking a question with the word girls in it isn't sexist. Saying the word black isn't racist. Stop over reacting, people. Seriously.

In my experience, most board game geeks are male. Asking if there are women playing isn't sexist, it just shows you've been around board game geeks before.

If this was a site for an activity that was female dominated, and someone asked if there were men on the site, that would not be sexist either.

All of this over reaction is part of the problem - every time you point the finger and yell sexist! racist! over nothing, you minimize the situations in which actual sexism is happening.

As a reminder, girls should not be allowed to play Diplomacy, they have nothing to contribute. An exception should be made for the black gay woman posting above who apparently has a sense of humor.

EXACTLY when does a game end?
In my set of rules, rule XIII indicates that possession of a SC only occurs after fall retreats have been completed. On this site, it seems that for purposes of determining a solo victory, a victory is declared following the fall diplomacy phase prior to retreats. For clarification: on a fall turn that great power A takes its 18th SC but great power B could then retreat into into one of country A's SCs, is country A awarded a win prior to that fall's retreats? Thank you.

... as an old adversary messaged me offline and I decided to succumb to temptation. I was wondering if any of those former combatants, or indeed anyone else, fancied a classic map, slow turn (probably 48 hour), press intensive game to get me back up to speed.

Where do I post suggestions?
Am I the only person that doesn't understand why they page layout is so narrow? there is significant space in the right and left margins for order information, game state information, and everything you need at a single glance, instead of all the scrolling i have to do. the layout is especially important because the page has to be refreshed constantly.

Suggestion
This website should have statistics for each country of each map (wins, draws, losses, etc.) like vdiplomacy.

I know this is a feature request and I'm supposed to check the todo list, but the forum that the "todo list" link directs to doesn't seem to have been used since last year, and I can't seem to find the actual list anywhere.
