OFFICIAL METAGAME

In which I propose a new sort of Diplomacy, an official metagame.

Paulsalomon27 (731 )
02 Jan 11 UTC

A metagame consists of 7 players all playing in several simultaneous games of standard diplomacy with each other. Discussions can bear relevance to all of the games involved in the metagame. "I'll support you to Rumania in Game 1 if you'll support me to Rumania in game 2." Bad blood may be carried over. "You stabbed me in game 3, so you're completely dead in game 2 (or maybe I need your support after all, but can I really trust you)" Alliances could be wild "Let's run a Key lepanto in game 1, Anglo-Turkish in Game 2, and Sea Lion in Game 3."

Each game is PPSC and the winer of the metagame is the person who scores the most points overall. Obviously the metagame requires at least two simultaneous games, but 3 could be good too. What do you guys think?

It will be a weekish before I am ready to play, but I wanted to get some convo going early.

Hellenic Riot (1626 )
02 Jan 11 UTC

Sounds vaguely amusing, but as it is encouraging metagaming (which is against the rules), would this actually be allowed?

Paulsalomon27 (731 )
02 Jan 11 UTC

Of course it would be allowed. All 7 players entering the games are agreeing to a metagame!

figlesquidge (2131 )
02 Jan 11 UTC

Yep, it would be allowed. Just as in the past we've played a number of team games: as long as players all understand the rules before they join then its fair.

I would like to join,

Paulsalomon27 (731 )
02 Jan 11 UTC

Excellent. Glad to hear it, Fasces. Like I said, it may be a bit before I set up the games, but what are you thinking. 2 games? 3 games?

Hellenic Riot (1626 )
02 Jan 11 UTC

3 games sounds good. I'm in

TBroadley (178 )
02 Jan 11 UTC

I'm interested. Three games is better than two!

Hellenic Riot (1626 )
02 Jan 11 UTC

As long its low buy in, i'm not spending loads on metagaming :P

LanGaidin (1509 )
02 Jan 11 UTC

That sounds a bit interesting. I've been limiting my games, but that does have a certain appeal to it. I'll throw my hat in.

Fasces349 (0 )
02 Jan 11 UTC

3 games 10

each would be preferable.

Paulsalomon27 (731 )
02 Jan 11 UTC

3 games 10 each sounds good. 10 alright with you Hellenic?

Hellenic Riot (1626 )

10 is low enough yeah

SacredDigits (102 )
02 Jan 11 UTC

I'd be willing to do it, but I'm kind of new, so I'll gladly be "guy that gets smacked around in three games simultaneously."

Wait, I already am.

Paulsalomon27 (731 )
02 Jan 11 UTC

hahaha. no worries sacreddigits. Although 166 is not bad for "kind of new" You're in.

Paulsalomon27 (731 )
02 Jan 11 UTC

that leaves 1 spot.

luke_poa (401 )
02 Jan 11 UTC

I am willing to join. Paul will have a chance to get revenge on a misunderstanding on my part that ruined a draw.

Paulsalomon27 (731 )
02 Jan 11 UTC

hahaha. that would be a different sort of metagaming, I suppose. The thing about that was it only cost me about 3 coin, so it's not such a big deal. 3 games worth of diplomacy with you should be enough to clear the slate. Plus you showed you can be a worthy ally. I'll see you in the games.

Paulsalomon27 (731 )
02 Jan 11 UTC

Here's the 7:

paulsalomon27
Hellenic Riot
Fasces 349
TBroadley
Lin Gaidin
Sacred Digits
luke_poa

3 games, 10 coin each, PPSC. I'll set up the games and send the invites. I said we should start in a week, but I'm drawing a game and going out of another, so let's do this. (how do you like that rationalizing?)

Hellenic Riot (1626 )
02 Jan 11 UTC

2 of my games are paused, one is stalemated and the last is drawing, so yeah great.

SacredDigits (102 )
02 Jan 11 UTC

I've gone kind of nuts joining games, but I also have a lot of sporadic freetime, so it's good.

LJ TYLER DURDEN (334 )

If someone drops from the list you've got up there let me know and I'll play.

Same here, I am also willing to play.

steephie22 (182 )

if we get another 7 players (maybe some of the other game??) we can start another??
i don't know how it works but i would love to play too...

What webDiplomacy really needs...

I very much miss multilateral negotiations here. Next to global broadcasts and bilateral correspondence, there ought to be the option to adress several (but not all) players at once. It's a very basic and very necessary feature that all Diplomacy judges have. webDiplomacy really needs to up its game on that one.

This Time On Philosophy Weekly: Picard And Sisko Argue Ethics--Ends vs. Means!

We started to have a debate about this in the last topical post, so I thought I'd give it the full attention it deserves, since it IS one of greatest dilemmas in all of ethical thought and conduct. And, luckily enough we have two GREAT advocates for the opposing positions: Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Captain Benjamin Sisko! ;) So, as a fun end of the year discussion, if ends DO justify the means, to what extent, and if they DON'T...then what IS justifiable?
