I'd like to get a new classic/full press/WTA game going. Game turns would be 36 hours and I'd want the bet size to be somewhere around 30-110, but am flexible. Anyone interested?
Whose Line Is It Anyway? Public press Diplomacy game
So I recently just had inspiration for a public press Diplomacy game based on the amazing show Whose Line Is It Anyway? and thought it would be worth trying.
everyone knows it's all about the live winner-take-all gunboat games on the standard map. how do ghost ratings work? is there some way of pulling stats out of the database for this analysis? i want LWTAGBCV ratings!
The "Fuck You" button would also be handy, like when someone's reason for attacking you is, you aren't a primary color. (actually happened to me. -_- )
how does attacking everyone make someone an asshole? so you think it's better if people make permanent alliances so the unlucky players without alliances just get eliminated? that makes it a game of luck rather than skill. you should be happy he was attacking everyone - it makes him a target. i'm sick of people on this website doing retarded things because they are angry. like letting another player take the win in wta because they just have to eliminate me.
I would have to disagree with that statement mainly on the grounds of the "Southern Hedgehog", probably the most common Austrian gunboat opening. Sending the fleet to Venice and an army to Galicia kinda looks aggressive if you don't see the defensive value of the move.
You want to Key Lepanto in a gunboat? Yeah, let me know when you are Austria the next time you play gunboat, and I am more than happy to Key Lepanto with you.
You're certainly taking the ball and running with it, way beyond what I was saying. I'd prefer to play Diplomacy with competent people. Attacking all of your neighbors willy-nilly without any sort of overall strategy is not something I'd associate with competence. Assholedom doesn't enter into the equation.
Or for the idiot who's attacking you STILL while the other guy has 16 and is about ready to solo, you just want to knock his head against the desk...! LOL
ok that's fine, but then i would use the button when a pair of asses maybe italy/austria refuse to attack each other, and have a permanent bond refusing to vote draw until they both go down together and then both switch to vote draw at the last minute.
austria is usually too occupied to invade italy, unless has turkey. but i think if neither france nor turkey have decent navies, it's possible to invade austria from italy. i did it the last time i was italy. you just have to be confident that you can beat turkey.
At most, how many subsets can you find of the set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13} such that any two intersect in exactly one element? What about |A| = 10? Show a proof along with the answer.
Gunboat is more true to board Diplomacy than press
In the Diplomacy rulebook, it is explicitly stated that no diplomacy or discussion may take place during what we call "retreats" and "builds" phases. Let's see what it means for legitimacy of press games.
WebDip Trials! This Time: "God Is Not Great"/"Religion Poisons Everything"--Y/N?
Forget IF God exists or not...supposing he did, would it be a good thing? Would it be, as Dante describes, an unparalleled Paradisio that makes a journey through Life, Hell, and everything else worth it? Or would it be the "Celestial North Korea" Hitchens spoke out against? Benevolent Father or Horrible Slave Master--God, you're on Web Dip Trial!
