I am currently in a top 300 GR game and it's pathetic, so.... I have decided to make a top 100 GR game for 100 . It will be non-anon, WTA. gameID=99375 If you have interest in the game, don't hesitate to send me a PM, I don't usually check threads after I make em.
When the games first began, I promised some special recognition for tue best countries. I have posted some various things below and tried to note players that stood out from the rest.
So I was reading the Dutch news and it said that yesterday, the American Dept. of Defense placed a call to the reverend who was organizing these Quran book burnings last year to ask him to stop doing that. So I googled it.
Out of the five games I've played (or am playing) on this website, four were dominated by timely civil disorders / NMRs. Does this always happen? Do I have to give up on Diplomacy forever?
one day phase is atually probably the least likely for CD's. Anything more tends to have people having to go somewhere and not being able to get a sitter/pauses
Get involved in passworded games by hanging out here on the forums and the non-live games tend to be more solid and free of idiots who quit when they are losing.
No, it's not really that huge of a problem. Try forming some games by posting on the forum and asking for interest. The people who reply here are much more likely to stick through an entire game then not. You can put passwords on games so you can only let people in with low or nonexistent left/resign ratings which you can check on someones profile. Like FD said, it's live games and games with very low point buy ins that have problems with CD's.
Im in an anon world game and by the time we reached 2005 a full third of countries have CD-d... its just a fact of life. It "unbalances" the game, but its Dip - its meant to be a set of moving goalposts.
Hydro everything others say applies, but as a general rule you'll find that games with a bid size exceeding 100 won't have CDs (those who do it don't have enough points to get in). What worked well for me was to play PPSC early on, and take advantage of the CD's as much as possible.
Even though you'll get burned sometimes, remember that the more people CD the more the odds stack in your favor - take advantage!
Foreseeably, not for the next few weeks, Draugnar, sorry.
On another note, I just had an idea. If CDs are so pervalent anyway, is NMRing Spring '01 with Italy, then taking Trieste when Austria is gone for the Balkans a smart move, a bastardly, underhanded one (so even smarter), or cheating? Or maybe it wouldn't fool anybody? Any opinions?
Oh, also, I don't prefer non-anon games, because I'm afraid I'll get "got onto" fast.
it is a valid startegy, but the opinion of it changes. I myself would think it wouldn't be smart in that case, since you wouldn't be able to get Tunis, but there is much merit to the waiting until the last second to enter orders (so they play based off your cd)
Tunis can wait, it's not like anyone else can nab it. I'd rather have Trieste - and if Austria sees my units move after all, he'll definitely turn back in A01.
Just a thought though, you better not even log into the game during those first turns or else it will say you were there (2 hours ago) or whatever at which point people are going to be highly suspecting that you will put in an order, eventually.
Drawing a game with a CD is unlikelier the lower caliber your opponents. Nothing wrong with snagging a few free points from idiots so you can get into the better games you deserve.
Finally, the game ended. Now, I can link it: gameID=97939 Behold the brilliant planning of Germany, how it paralyzed even the best strategists first in England, but soon after, France and Italy too. Marvel at the tactical genius which allowed him to cut through the two lines deep French defense. I weep, for my time to learn from the Master has ended.
I'm a relative newcomer to football (only really been watching the last 3-4 seasons). I live in the Chicagoland area so I know that the Bears/Packers rivalry is among one of the greatest. What are the other (in)famous rivalries along the same lines?
I would really enjoy some lively discussion for this game. If I get some good comments from all 7 countries, I will include the EoGs in the final product. Thanks to everyone that played!
Hi, I have been playing for 3 months here and I see lots of multiaccounting and metagaming. I look for a trusted and tough players that play fairly and are interested in mastering their abilities not for so called "fame" in ranking. Contact me on priv if you are interested to create a small community for fun gaming.
Egypt, Libya, Now Yemen--Is This an "Arab Autumn?"
Not quite as catchy as "Arab Spring," but still...these ARE all countries that were at the forefront of protests in the AS... And now they're focusing their hatred against the US, and we'll track progress on this thread should anything else come up... What does this say about the Movement, and where do you see this ending up?
I know I joke around a lot, but this is a serious topic that deserves serious remembrance. If anyone was there, tell your story. If anyone remembers where they were, what they were doing, etc., tell your story.
And no, this is not a place for hate against anyone. Hate is what brings me to post this; hate won't fix it.
What if there were some sort of "ding" when time ran out on turns?
Given that a fair number of people probably CD because they're off surfing the net on other tabs or something, would an audible "ding" at the beginning/end of turns help the problem of CD's?
Same as last year, very simple, pick the winners in each game for Week 1 before kickoff of the 1pm EST games tomorrow...and there are some FUN matchups! Bills/Jets in a battle between AFC Wild Card hopefuls! The 49ers/Packers revive their glory days rivalry! RGIII debuts vs. the Saints! The Broncos and Steelers rematch with Peyton at QB! A double-header for MNF! PICK 'EM!
No specifics yet, til it's over. But, AH CD from the beginning, Russia soon there after. My (Italy) draw/cancel vote up from 1901, as was England's. No votes from Germany, France, and no surprise, Turkey.
