Top 10 Cities and Locales in the Anglosphere?
Just thought I'd throw this one out there...
Taking the four most obvious nations (the US, UK, Canada and Australia) and anywhere else you see fitting in the primarily-English speaking world (not "primarily," as of course there are many Spanish speakers in the US and many French Canadians, but the nations' overall aggregate majority is titled towards an English language/culture, I think)...best cities and locations?

World Diplomacy IX Supply centers needed to win
How many supply centers are needed to win World dip IX? I mean, in a normal game it's 18 SC's, but in a world dip game I'm playing, this country has around 35 centers. So I was wondering, how many do you need?

Can the mods see if there are any games that are hopeless for him and don't need to be replaced? Maybe there are only 10-12 that need someone.

dubmdell, could you ask the mods to boot taos from the games so we can see all of the positions?
If he's 3 centres or less, I think the idea was to just keep going - no? And it'll give people a better idea if they want to take them over.
Tolstoy (1962 D)
30 Nov 12 UTC
You can tell which are his in a majority of the games where he's the only one who hasn't entered orders. Not in a bad position for most of them.

Ritmo (736 D(B))
01 Dec 12 UTC
I'll take a bunch, but I don't have time right now to sift through to see which ones are worth it. I can do so within about 10-11 hours. In the meantime, if anyone wants to narrow it down to the most reasonable and PM me the password(s), that would be helpful. I'd say I can afford to take as many as 8. I need to leave a few points in the bank for an upcoming planned game.
Mapu (362 D)
01 Dec 12 UTC
I don't think anyone but the mods know exactly what country needs to be replaced in each one. The odds are that it's the non-finalized country in each, but that only takes care of about 5 and it's certainly not guaranteed to be the case.
Yonni (136 D(S))
01 Dec 12 UTC
The mods are going to have to boot taos from the games to make the switch so it'll be prettye obvious which ones are good then. I'd suggest that people pm dumbdell which games they'd be willing to take over so not everybody knows who will be each power.

@ck, Emperor
There were no requirements to join so I imagine there are no requirements now. I'm awful at GB and these are my first world games ever so the precedent for shitiness has been set.
dubmdell (556 D)
01 Dec 12 UTC
Let me ask jmo if the replacements need to pay the full amount or if try will simply be placed. That might make a difference to Brian Hickey at least.

To all three of you, a profuse thank you
jmo1121109 (3812 D)
01 Dec 12 UTC
Anyone who takes over any of the games will be given points equal to the buy in's, if you want to take over multiple games and don't have enough points then you will be given enough points to join them.

There are about 5 games where his position is bad, the rest are decent/good.
EmperorJC (436 D)

Ok by me. They're all low pot slow games, so I'm ok taking up to four.

dubmdell (556 D)
01 Dec 12 UTC
Brian Hickey seemed like he might be willing to take all the games if points were not an issue (and jmo is graciously saying they are not). I'd like to have him say how many games he will take before we distribute the others so that there is as much unity in the tournament as possible.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))

I could take 4-5 as long as I can get a pause at some point.
ckroberts (3548 D)

I can take a few, three or so, whatever you need. Just let me know.
Ritmo (736 D(B))

Yes, if points are not an issue, I will take them all.
dubmdell (556 D)
02 Dec 12 UTC
Jmo, if you see this thread before the email I'm sending, Brian Hickey will take all of Taos games.

Gentlemen, please thank Brian. He certainly receives my most profuse thanks.

Happy to do it! My wife, on the other hand, hates you all :)

The natural outcome of a dip game is a draw
It's either a 3-way draw, or possibly 4-way, depending on the alliances. If a solo occurs, than it's because one of the players made a mistake.
