Tips for Newbies

On the heads of the 'Stone Age' players thread, I figured maybe this would help. The rules of diplomacy are easy, its the strategy that makes this game difficult AND fun. But newbies frequently fail to think things through.

50 pot game

Wanted to make a game for semi-noobs, so I figured a 50 pot game would be something a newer player with experience wouldn't mind joining:

Uh, a bit of confusion.

In the game bunnies in the wind I am playing as Austria and I moved my unit into on the first turn. On the 2nd turn can I move that army and still keep Serbia or not?

Rules clarification

If I order a unit to support move, and the supporting unit is attacked, will the support move revert to hold?

If so, will ordering another unit to support hold the original unit provide a second defender?

Thank you.

Rules Question - RETREATS ("Run away! Run Away!")

Okay, say I have a unit on Spain, I'm surrounded on all sides and an attack from Gascony succeeds and I'm forced to retreat. My only retreat option is Gascony, the place the attack came from. Can I retreat there, or am I forced to destroy my unit ? Thanks!

Bounce question

Say there is an unestablished French army in Spain (i.e. Spain hasn't been taken yet), that moves to Marseilles while an Italian army is moving to Marseilles as well. The two will bounce off each other, but will Spain be completely captured by France? or will the army in Spain still have that blue box around it that shows that Spain hasn't been captured?

How long does should a game stay in "Your games"?

I got knocked out of "The Spanish vol5" (game 4433) in Autumn 1909 yet it is still listed on my "Your games" page in Autumn 1910. Is this normal, or a bug?

Could you support an attack against your own country?

Just a thought. Is it possible to support an attack against your own country?

Say, you were Italy. Could you support an Austrian attack into Italian occupied Venice?

Feature request

Usually, if a player has no choice in their orders i.e. it's a Build phase and they have no builds/destroys or it's a Retreat phase and they have no retreats, then they get automatically finalized so nobody has to wait for that player to log in and finalize their blank orders.

There is one case that is missing - if a player has a retreat to make, but there are no valid areas to retreat to (they are surrounded, or it's an army and the only free areas are sea etc.) - in this case, they have to submit an order, but the drop-down list says - no valid destinations if you choose retreat, so you must choose submit.

Would it be possible in this case to auto-select that order and finalize the orders if there are no others for which a choice must be made?

UK member needed for non-Diplomacy related help

I live in the US and am trying to have a certain item shipped to me from the UK. Unfortunately, the distillery in question does not export the item in question. As I don't know anyone in the UK *not* from this site, I figured I'd make my plea here.

Is there any UK resident who'd be willing to let me use his or her address for delivery and then ship it along to me, postage and some sort of token of appreciation paid by me?

Global Press Game, Round Two?

I just finished up a Global Press variant, and I found it to be a very interesting change to the game, and I'd like to start up a new one. I'd like to have some of the players back from the first game, although all are welcome to join, just express your interest here!

Shisuren (587 )
17 Jul 08 UTC

I've never had the pleasure; would love to take part in a game.

Stevelers (3084 )
17 Jul 08 UTC

It really does make for an interesting game. In our game, Austria won because no one wanted to make the first aggressive move, and be labeled as a "bad guy" for the whole game, so Austria just rolled over the board. :)

a_fuzzyduck (100 )

A-H wins are so much sweeter than the rest imo

Fidobot (100 )

I feel wary of Global Press games since Germany and France decided to invade my island. (England)

Stevelers (3084 )

Especially when Austria wins without taking any Italian centres! (Sweden and Norway for 17 and 18! No kidding!

a_fuzzyduck (100 )
17 Jul 08 UTC

haha ah winning while ignoring italy. nwic arrogant :D

Stevelers (3084 )
17 Jul 08 UTC

It's not arrogance! Austria and Italy were allied!

But anyways, who wants to actually play a new Global Press Only game?
1) Stevelers
2)Shisuren
3-7)Anyone else! Join up!

Stevelers (3084 )
17 Jul 08 UTC

It'll be a fairly low stakes pot, about 30-50 points, winner takes all.

jakethesnake (1112 )
18 Jul 08 UTC

i'd be interested if i knew what was meant by 'press'. can someone enlighten me?

Stagger (2661 )
18 Jul 08 UTC

I enjoyed the first game - sign me up for the second!

Stagger (2661 )
18 Jul 08 UTC

@jakethesnake(roberts) - it means you can only use the "Global" forum to communicate - so everyone knows exactly what people have said and all strategy, agreements, etc are out in the open.

Stagger (2661 )
18 Jul 08 UTC

Note: the conversation during the first few years of the first game sounded a lot like an SCA meeting. I'm glad that subsided over time.

RogueMcGyver (455 )
18 Jul 08 UTC

I would join.

Stevelers (3084 )
18 Jul 08 UTC

So...
1 Stevelers
2 Shisuren
3 Stagger
4 RogueMcGyver
5 jakethesnake(?)
6,7 still up for grabs!

RogueMcGyver (455 )
18 Jul 08 UTC

To clarify, I won't be able to join for a few days.

TheGhostmaker (1545 )

50 pot??? Surely you must be mad... I set any variant up at a pot of 35...

TheGhostmaker (1545 )

I play 5 bet.

CountArach (587 )
18 Jul 08 UTC

I am in!

Stevelers (3084 )
18 Jul 08 UTC

What's wrong with a 50 point bet? Is that okay with everyone else? Anyways, are you in, Ghost?

Shisuren (587 )
18 Jul 08 UTC

Aye, 50's fine with me.

Stevelers (3084 )
18 Jul 08 UTC

So...
1 Stevelers
2 Shisuren
3 Stagger
4 RogueMcGyver (in a few days)
5 CountArach
6 jakethesnake(?)
7 TheGhostmaker(?)

MajorTom (4417 )
18 Jul 08 UTC

I'll play if there's room,
i'm flexible on the bet.

MajorTom (4417 )
18 Jul 08 UTC

what was the first one like for you ol timers?

Stevelers (3084 )
19 Jul 08 UTC

In the first game, Germany tried a suicidal barbarossa invasion of Russia, which allowed France to grow at an astounding rate. Everyone focussed on him, until Austria was allowed to get to 13 SC's, almost unnoticed!

Okay so now it's
1 Stevelers
2 Shisuren
3 Stagger
4 RogueMcGyver
5 CountArach
6 MajorTom
7 Either jakethesnake, TheGhostmaker, or anyone else, considering the first two aren't responding.

MajorTom (4417 )
19 Jul 08 UTC

cool, when ever your ready :)
if you start it I'm sure we'll pick up one of them or another who will play by the rules, especially if the game title makes it clear that its Global Press.
I suggest setting a password and posting the join link here. It should help most of us to get in.

It'd be nice to play for a bet of at least 50 each to make it worth a little somthin, and it seems like we can all afford it :)

CountArach (587 )
19 Jul 08 UTC

50 bet works well with the No Press games

Stevelers (3084 )
19 Jul 08 UTC

It seems like it's going to be a fifty point bet, winner takes all, but I'm going to wait until the seventh person commits to the game before starting it. I don't see a point of starting the game with six, and hoping a seventh wants to play... So, once again, anyone is welcome to join, just post here saying you want to play in this game.

Cheleon (1153 )
19 Jul 08 UTC

I'll play if there's still room.

Stevelers (3084 )
19 Jul 08 UTC

Yes, okay, so with Cheleon, that makes seven, and I'll start the game shortly and post the link to the game.
The list is:
Stevelers
Shisuren
Stagger
RogueMcgyver
CountArach
MajorTom
Cheleon

Sorry to jakethesnake and the ghostmaker, but you never really commited, and you didn't respond...

Stevelers (3084 )
19 Jul 08 UTC

The following link will automatically sign you up for the game, so don't follow it unless you are taking part in the Global Press Game, please.

Stevelers (3084 )

Okay, if it runs down to just a half hour or so left, and there are still people missing, I'll make a cry for help to everybody to fill the spots in the game. :)

orathaic (1009 )
19 Jul 08 UTC

i'd like to play.
sounds more fun than no press (aka gun boat)
also note to developers, these seem like eas varients to code as they actually only require the removal of certain functions.

I think i'm able to code that much, I may have to get involved...

Stevelers (3084 )
20 Jul 08 UTC

It's nice to see so much interest in the game -after- I found seven people! :) Still 13 hours left, and only two of the people from the above lists have yet to join, so chances are there won't be a player coming into the game off the bench... But if we need a sixth or seventh, I'll post later when there is only an hour or so left.

CountArach (587 )
20 Jul 08 UTC

10 hours left with 1 space left for RogueMcgyver.

civil disorders

when i first joined this site, it used to be that in order for a country to go into civil disorder (CD), that player had to miss 3 consecutive turns. however, i just took over a country in a game that's only in the winter 1901 phase, where it is not possible for the player to miss 3 consecutive turns (none of his SC's were taken over, so he didn't have to retreat at all)... is it that if a country enters no orders for the entire first year they are replaced, or have the entire CD rules changed?
