The War To End Most Wars

Fixed Alliances where Italy can choose! See below.

Invictus (240 )

Inspired by a thread on here, this is a fixed alliance game. With a catch. The alliances are the same as World War I (England-France-Russia, Germany-Austria-Turkey) with one exception: Italy can choose which side to be on. Should make for an interesting first few years of game play.

Italy must announce which side its taking on the Global Wall. Once it chooses a side it can't switch. Also, no other nation can attack Italy before it declares which alliance it will join.

Only 10 points cause it's more of an experiment than anything.

Question Inviticus, Is there a deadline by which Italy must announce his alliance? Otherwise he is theoretically immune to all assult until he does so, in which case he could just not choose and hang out for a few years doing what he pleases. I understand this is highly unlikely, but I'm curious.

Archonix (246 )

I assume that means he can't attack another player either. He'd also probably be unable to gain any SCs but Tunis putting him at a disadvantage once he does declare his alliance.

Invictus (240 )

I hope it would just happen organically. He'd do it at the best time for him, which would be when he could be in the best position to win. By joining this game hopefully we all would agree to keep this Italy situation reasonable. So I really don't want to set a deadline.

Let's just say before 1950.

And taking Tunis doesn't bring Italy into the war. Neither does Greece, just because it isn't fair to have different rules for different neutrals. Italy bouncing with Austria or Turkey in Greece would not necessarily put him in the Allies, and it won't count as an act of war on the Central Powers.

But whoever's Italy, please don't put the game in that kind of a situation.

Sorry, I was just reading this over and thought about the Possibility. I'm not trying to spread bad ideas around

Centurian (3257 )
20 Nov 08 UTC

I'm definately in. I like the Central powers for this one as in real life the Germans could blame the Ottomans/Austrians for sucking... alot. I tried something similar in FtF and basically it was a race to kill the odd man out.

How will the game end? Draw between the winners?

Centurian (3257 )
20 Nov 08 UTC

No!! I thought we were just signing up... Oh well. I'm like the US, eager but late.

philcore (317 )

Right there with you Centurian - what a great idea for a game. I created a second one, for those of us who missed out on this one. See the thread "The War to end THIS War"

Invictus - I gave you all the credit for this one - I'm no plagiarist, after all ;-)

Most difficult long term alliances?

I'm curious which two-way alliances people think are the hardest to maintain long term. They either don't offer enough room for expansion or require that extra bit of trust that's so hard to establish or whatever.

For me the most difficult to maintain seems to be the Italian-Turkish alliance; followed closely by a German-English alliance.

New game: 'First Try on Online Diplomacy', please join!

The subject is very self explanatory, though I have tried playing diplomacy with friends I have never been successful and now I want to try it without the biases that come with knowing your opponent before hand. So, anyone one up for a nice simple game of 25 point buy in?

If the Seven Star Trek Captains played php, who would win?

Simple premise: if the Seven captains in Trek were to sit down and play a game, who would win? Th first five captains are obvious: Kirk, Picard, Sisko, Janeway, and Archer, the captains from the different series. The other two became captains, and were 1st officers: Spock and Riker.

Ending Games

Is it possible to end games were there is an effective stalemate or all players have grown tired of a particular game? In a scenario with 3 players left with 14, 12 and 8 supply points respectively in a PPSC game, where a draw was called, how would the points be divided?

Alias Usernames To Keep Games Independent

When a player enters a game, there may be players who know him from previous games. Or they may check his previous games for whether he is a reliable ally or a stabber. I believe this is counter-productive to the idea of having each game stand on its own. Metagaming, or negotiating between games, is frowned upon. Using prior history should be viewed as having an equally negative effect on having a free-standing and independent game.
