Live Games. What do people think of them?
I have played one live game. And by that I mean 15 minutes turns with the phase set at an hour. I had fun, but it didn't quite work out the way we would have like as three of the players went CD as soon as things didn't go perfectly their way, which I suspect is common problem.
So I think live games are a brilliant idea in principle, but hard to make work. Has anyone had a better experience? Or are there always problems like the kind I experienced?

Live game today?
For all of us at-work Diplomaters, what about a live game today?

The crowd from yesterday's failed attempt plus a couple more might do the trick.

Fastest Game Ever, I Think
If anyone is interested in 8 hours there will be a game with one hour order phases with a buy in of 10 pts. The Name will be "Fastest Game Ever, I Think" I will post the game link in about 8 hours, but only if I get interest from at least 6 people. Please respond! I've never actually done a game like this, but I want to see if a game of Diplomacy can be finished in a day. This takes commitment and skill. Do you have what it takes?

The power of making deals
I'm in a class (Dave Ramsey's "FPU"), and last night our class revolved around getting big deals and the keys to successful negotiation. I knew most of them and the rest made sense. I could make up a situation for all and demonstrate it. The wife asked me "Where'd you learn all that?" From watching the masters of Diplomacy, of course! :D

Rules Question
I thought you were able to convoy an army to attack a costal province with support from an adjacent fleet/army? Ie: Move London to Brest via Convoy. English Chanel convoy London to Brest. Mid Atlantic support London to Brest.
If you can, how do you input this move?

I usually just do the standard war-gal, sev-bla, mos-ukr, St.P-GoB.

I like the idea of wa - lvn, but....
jman777 (407 D)
24 Jun 09 UTC
yeah.....I don't quite see what a bounce there proves....though I guess it would make the arguement of "sorry it was a misorder" more valid when you stabbed someone.
djbent (2572 D(S))
24 Jun 09 UTC
well then you can get really ambitious and order mos-lvn. that will knock your enemies flat.
jman777 (407 D)
24 Jun 09 UTC
hahahaha, that sounds like a Dipfool move. lol
bh (898 D)
24 Jun 09 UTC
@jman777: Anyone using the opening that djbent has facetiously suggested wouldn't need to worry about getting stabbed. You'd promptly be put down by the rest of the board owing to your outlandish stupidity.
jman777 (407 D)
24 Jun 09 UTC
hahaha, yes I did realize that, I'm not quite that dumb.

I created an Eastern Triple and went all in on a Northern Strategy once. It was really awesome until Austria decided to stab. And he complemented me on how cool my opening was the whole time too. :-)

i like to move:
StP-GoB
Mos-StP
War-Ukr
Sev-Bla

It's heavily dependent on the Spring 01 press (which all openings are dependent on...)

Oh yeah...and I have a 100% record with Russia :P

My favourite opening with Russia is: Don't get Russia! It is by far my worst country, and one I'm never happy playing with.

What about WAR-SIL, just to freak out the Germans?

I have no standard opening for Russia but I do think you have to choose between north or south and then fully focus.
jman777 (407 D)
25 Jun 09 UTC
I just tried the war-sil, and germany totally didn't expect it. and it works as great leverage to try and get sweden aswell. plus, if you get m=germany worked up enough, he may only get once build that year. lol
