Does Empire4 (Fall of the American Empire) need to be balanced?

Unless most other Diplomacy maps, Empire4 is not very balanced and a few nations have severe disadvantages that make it very difficult for them to win while others are fairly overpowered. I can explain more if someone wants to ask.

Rival/hatred game variant

I'd like to play a game mode where each player is secretly given a unique rival (so no two players share a rival), and the only players counted at the end of the draw are those who have both survived and eliminated their rival. A solo doesn't need to eliminate their rival and rivals aren't necessarily symmetrical.

Unknown Player in Anonymous Private Game

I'm completely new to Diplomacy and this website. I made a private game and explained to my friends how to join my private match. Though only 2 people say they've joined, I have 3 anonymous players other than myself registered. Is it possible one of them joined twice? I know by the time stamps that it was one of the first two players who joined the game, the times are only a minute apart, and I am wondering if the small time frame is just a player joining twice.

Vale Hugh Hefner

Hugh Hefner dies at age 91. A controversial character, extremely successful businessman, championed some Liberal causes, gay rights, marriage equality, Native American rights, gave many authors a break, eg Alex Haley, but also it has to be said, contributed to the objectification of women and exploited women for financial gain.

[Suggestion] Alternate winning conditions

vDiplomacy has a way to set up "alternate winning conditions", e.g. to customize how many turns are played and/or how many SCs need to be conquered before a winner is declared. For example, we can have a game of Classic running for 14 turns (Fall 1907).

The first turn will end once all players have (PRIVATELY) submitted their Ja/Nein votes to me. I will distribute everyone's roles randomly.

The first presidential candidate is RagingIke297. We will treat board position in sign-up order; the person with a number 1 higher than yours is to your right.

1. RagingIke297
2. CroakandDagger
3. YanksFan47
4. ghug
5. Jeff Kuta
6. Spirit
7. snowy
8. guak

If a player fails to post within 48 hours of this post, I will replace them. Later turns will likely be shorter than 48 hours.

Please don't hesitate to ask me questions.

Some more shit: your first post should include the phrase:

"I solemnly swear
To upload the ideals
Of the German Republic."

If you don't get a PM from me, you're a liberal.

RagingIke297 will propose a chancellor, and then the group as a whole will vote semi-secretly to JA or NEIN this government.

RagingIke297 (142 )

I solemnly swear to uphold the ideals of the German Republic. With this pledge in mind, I nominate guak to become chancellor.

Condescension (10 )
18 Sep 17 UTC

I occurred to me that in the real game, you can see when people have voted. So when you send me a private message indicating how you are voting, please post here saying that you've done so.

RagingIke297 (142 )
18 Sep 17 UTC

I have voted

guak (3381 )
18 Sep 17 UTC

shouldn't we discuss before voting? or is everything at this point just random?

Jeff Kuta (2066 )
18 Sep 17 UTC

I think the slate is perfectly reasonable. I will be voting Ja!

##VOTE END

Maybe this works as a mechanic? After everyone has voted end, then our fearless moderator who has a heckuva lot to coordinate can tally.

Condescension (10 )
18 Sep 17 UTC

There will be a lot of kinks to iron out in these first turns.

If people could keep a running tally of who has put a vote in, that would be nice. Once everyone has put in their vote, the turn is over. (putting in a vote is an implicit vote end). Declare it with:
##VOTED means you sent me a first vote for the turn
##CHANGEVOTE means you sent me a changed vote, but it doesn't change the tally.
##UNVOTE means you've retracted your vote. You don't need to send me a PM. This removes you from the tally.

So the tally right now is:
Voted (2/8):
RagingIke
Jeff Kuta

RagingIke297 (142 )
18 Sep 17 UTC

@guak, everything is 100% random at this point, the only thing we have to go on is what people say and how they vote

FFS WHY?

Why does online Diplomacy give me Germany to start with in every single game I sign up for?
Seriously, does it use region-based IP-checking? Because I'd really like to try out different countries and strategies.
And no, taking over Leavers doesn't count because you always get a losing position way past the point of getting a proper strategy rolled out (that's why the original player threw the game)
