It was clear from the first year that 3- 5 players were working together. That ruins the live games. Russia, England, and France made moves no one would make in a game with unknowns.
So pretty much the whole northern US is getting whacked by a storm, and I know I'm not the only person who might be without power for a good long time. Perhaps those of us in the path should vote pause, with the understanding that the other players should also pause if we vanish for a couple of days.
Perhaps it's just me, but do some people take this game way too seriously? Here I am, playing Diplomacy for fun, countlessly running into people, other players, that I can't help but to assume have a dictionary nearby whenever they play the game. Intimidation via vernacular, if you will. And to be honest, I find this concept incredibly humorous. Anybody else?
Italy is at 7 SCs but about to hit 5. The players in the game have been very dependable -- no other NMRs up to 1905. A good bet for a decent player who enjoys negotiation. The password is playfair.
I just turned 2 and have not learned a damn thing yet. Maybe when I'm 3 I will know how to play this game:) Happy birthday to anyone else who has the same web dip birthday.
This Time On Philosophy Weekly: "Will you be kind enough to justify your existence?"
The above quote is from my SECOND-favorite playwright of all-time (we ALL know who my favorite is) Mr. George Bernard Shaw, who was staunchly of the opinion that life SHOULD have a purpose, and that if it didn't...well, he didn't look kindly on that, but let's focus on the positive--IS there such a thing as "purpose/justifying your existence?" Is it granted naturally, or obtained? Can it be lost? WHAT IS IT? And if there IS no justification for existence...what THEN?
I consider FTF Diplomacy to be the purest. When playing FTF, you often know who are the players you are playing against, you know their history and how they play. This allows a more intricate diplomacy. By playing anonymous games on WebDiplomacy, we ignore the most fundamental side of FTF Diplomacy - history.
charlesf appeared on the webdip scene on December 10th of 2010. He had one bad game experience so came to the forum to both talk about how this site could be better and to get a better quality game going.
He was last seen on January 10th of 2011 when he had the audacity to leave his country in Civil Disorder in that game.
i know i should post this in the live games thread, but oh well. i would like to play a quality live game today at about 10am eastern (4pm spanish time, in about 3 hours) -- classic, small pot, anonymous or not, full press. any takers?
I'd just like to discuss about how to approach in compromise and resolve through diplomacy. I'd like to know your guys opinions about what you think is the best form of diplomacy.
I'd also like to ask your guys opinions about what basis you guys form when creating an alliance. As in, do you guys form rules to be kept when you guys make an alliance?
Post your interest and conditions It will be Anonymous and WTA. Buy-in > 200 (to discuss). 36h (to discuss) with COMMITMENT TO FINALIZE (this is important!).
@Dharmaton - I swept the game and it's clean. Please do not spread rumors about cheating as it could return to bite you later on. If you think something's fishy, please email the mods at [email protected].
It was a true draw. Assuming Russia and Turkey were smart enough not to attack me, so that I could be a thorn in Italy's side. No one could make any progress.
I messed up in Scandinavia at the start. I wasn't going to bounce myself in Norway but then decided to last moment and Czech had already guessed it. Sloppy game from me all around although I think I was almost turning it around by the end.
askn - why did you keep Denmark held for a bunch of turn at the start? Coulda helped me hold and get Sweden.
