Would it be frowned on to find a replacement you know is pliable? In effect, is it okay to take the game into consideration in terms of your hunt for a replacement (or lack thereof)? I feel this is under-discussed, compared to, say, pauses.

Lol... I guess you could. It would be a pain in the ass, but I guess you could. You could do that with the current stats we have now too, so why do we have those?
It would be a neat idea (and keeping track as you go is a pain in the ass), but I'm guessing it wouldn't get implemented anytime soon unless explicitly coded.
I keep a xl file of all my stats. All I have to do is change a few numbers and it alters the rest of the info throughout the sheet. It's pretty handy and I simply update it after each game I complete.
That's cool, eventually, after I've compiled a large quantity of statistics taken from this site, I'll create my own site dedicated to those stats available for others to see. There's still a lot I want to do with the stats still.
I've thought about posting my stats on my profile but I haven't simply because I feel like it might impact the way people play against me. I have a really strong record with some countries and don't want that to change :O
get a copy of the database and put it on your own server, with stats for each player and a simple lookup function. (though i think copies of the database which are lying around don't have any personal information in them, they may just exclude all messages... i'm not 100%)
@Tru Ninja, I am going to destroy that file for sure. Right after I put it on googledoc so I can access it anywhere. And believe you me, you have to be a nerd to play this game well. To be fair, psychopaths might be good at this game too. In fact, a nerdy psychopath might be very very good at this game. Any taker?
I might be a nerdy psychopath...I can tell you one thing, at any point in the day, you could ask me to list the map layout and I could tell you the location of every unit controlled by every country (given that I'm playing in 3 games or less, after that it gets a little confusing and I only know the location of my units as well as those countries that can directly affect me). As long as I know that information, I can think about the game while I'm at work, while I'm going to bed, in the shower or any other time I don't have anything else occupying my time. I also think about the press I'm going to send to the other countries when the new phase starts. My wife says I'm obsessed but I think that I'm just dedicated.
jesus christ. Don't know about your wife but I am impressed. I dedicate an hour per day for this game and I thought I was obsessed but clearly you should see a doctor...
Gosh, if he's dedicated, then I'm clearly obsessed. I'm playing 7 games here and 5 games on facebook (it was eight on fb but I've just drawn two and won one recently). I think about press and such, but I don't memorize where the units are as I have access to the internet all day long and can remember alliances/plans as soon as I look at a game. I'm going to try to decrease the amount of games I play to just 10 total because 15 was a bit much.
I also found 15 a bit much for me, and I think I'm down to about six now, and most of them high pots so I don't need to worry about the temptation to join more.
Except...I might very well win one high pot game, and then I'll have even more points to be tempted with.
Do boycotts work? Should we boycott a pape and their sister papers and put in jeperdy the careers of innocent workers? Should we support advertisers pulling their adverts and protest against companies who don't pull their ads?
How long is a 'process cycle' concerning a live 5 min/phase game? I just ask because I joined such a game and ended up CDing against my will after waiting for 2 hours for it to start.
I'm pretty familiar with openings... and general concepts for the mid and late game... and have read the articles available on these topics in the Diplomatic pouch (diplom.org) and the Diplomacy Archive (diplomacy-archive.com)... Where can I learn more about more specific strategies beyond the openings in 1901? Or, at least, where can I find more good articles beyond these two sources? Thanks!
so...i wont be able to play in any games until i can afford to fix it. I cant submit orders but as you can see, i can post messages. Ill still be TAing and profing in the SoWs. See you all soon.
I never understand why serious people consider throwing their games, but now I do.
The thought that Germany or Russia would share the draw in gameID=63906 is just appalling. Better to hand a victory to the one player who has put up a decent game...
Joined a live game and after a few minutes seven joined. Then game says awaiting next process cycle. It has been like this for over a half hour. How long do process cycles take?
If it was August 1939, and you were a German, Aryan male aged 22 and were offered to join the SS (and you had no knowledge about what was to come) do you think you would have been smart enough to say no? Or would you have been sucked in by the lucrative notion of getting to wear that stylish uniform?
This one's bugged me for a while, really, and I've just got to ask it:
If you believe God sent Jesus to die for our sins or that Jesus wanted to die for our sins and save us and all that...why? If he/they/both are God, ie, almighty, why not just "waive the debt," rather than self-mutilate? And why would either care at all? (and "because he loves us" is NOT a valid answer...somehow Hell + Pain On a Cross =/= LOVE to me...)
