when you join a game how is your country selected? Do you make moves by email or by making moves on the screen?

I introduced several friends to Webdiplomacy, through a full-press game. Several players (five!) indicated they want to play another gunboat game on the side to get the hang of the site. They're reasonably experienced, so we're looking for two reasonable other players to give some staunch opposition.
Who feels like a game?!

Who, like me, can't wait for next Thanksgiving?

A lot of times live games get ruined by people not showing up.

Feature suggestion in next post

So, Americans, what do you think of our opinions of you? What do you think we think about you? I'm curious, because I hear rather often how we are all blaming America blablabla while I know no one who actually does that.

I saw some interest in getting a new season going. For those that are interested in participating, see the first post to this thread.

Abgemacht has been around for almost as long as the site, and he has been such a positive force for the site as a player and a mod/admin. His request to retire has been finally accepted :).
Please join me in thanking abge for his years of service.

Are the third-round games in the Masters supposed to be gunboat?

Hello WebDip community.
I am about to graduate high school (2 weeks after tomorrow) and I was wondering if anybody here has any general tips or experiences they can share with me and/or anybody who is graduating. I believe many of you on this site have gone through college or high school already, and was just wondering if anybody could ease my nerves about my future.
I am going to be attending University of River Falls - Wisconsin in the USA; I plan on becoming a teacher.

BRAVO to Bret Easton Ellis for saying all the truth a straight white man could never utter. Fuck gay political correctness. I tired of having to pay homage to every bung-plunger that feels the need to reveal his bedroom habits to me!

I just got my first real job last week and now I'm in a bit of a tight spot. My wardrobe needs to be updated to be semi-professional and done (mostly) on the kind-of cheap. My work environment is not overly formal (no tie or suit) but I still want to look good and purchase good quality and good fitting clothing and would like some recommendations.

Is he dead, Jim, or zipping along at Warp 9...thoughts?
What's everyone think about this latest adventure? (Come on out, you fellow Trekkies and casual viewers alike...though those of you that hated the Abrams reset--I thought it was good overall, rough in patches--well...if you didn't like Star Trek 2009, oh, are you going to hate this one...it really IS Star Trek 12/2, down to the very lines...but does it work?)

Can someone please clarify what the new rules are about using the vote buttons in gunboat? Back in the day communication using these buttons was accepted (eg. "Cancel" = let's stop fighting, "Draw" = let's take out the big guy, "Pause" = Somebody help me, etc.). I know there was some tl;dr about it in the Gunboat Tournament thread but if any mods/admins can clear it up here i'd appreciate it.

I coach middle school track and led my teams to a pretty darn good finish at our conference meet tonight. If you've done something cool recently and you'd like to indulge in a little shameless self-promotion, this is the thread for you.

Just got a great offer at a major high-tech company. To celebrate, I'll be going for Gold Donor status.

If you have something to celebrate, share here!

Replacement Italy needed for end-game stalemate line: gameID=115863
Buy-in is 44 , a position in the draw will net you at least 250 in return. All you have to do is play nice with Russia and France against Germany and Turkey.

I've introduced some real life friends to webdip in a slow game. Being the addicts we are, we're also starting a sidegame with some of the players. But just to repeat: Note that some of the players know each other.

Looking for two more!

I love this game!!! What about you?

Im trying to find a game with people who are not so much better than me that I have no chance of winning, yet at the same time one filled with competent players who wont throw away games with stupid moves.

The thread for your questions about the game, luckily someone here will answer you.

I'm on my third driving lesson now after having done 4 1/2 hours with my instructor.

“Despite the blockade, KFC made it to my home.” - half-starved Gazan who had to turn to black-market criminal smugglers for fried chicken after Hamas, Israel, and the UN all refused to satisfy the demand.

recently i have seen people using a new starter for Egypt where they rush for Carthage i was just curious is this a effective method??

Short EOG and notification to julien: Tie game bitch. ;)

Ok... just popped on to facebook and my eyes wondered over the sponsored adverts list that seems to dominate the place these days...
