Bug check?

Well, I'm not sure what happened (although I'm guessing some save error so it wont' show up in any logs) but I somehow ended up with an army in Naples rather than the fleet that I thought I'd ordered.

This professor doesn't sound like the smartest tool in the box.... and he thinks Obama is a socialist, sounds like a by-product of a failing capitalist education system

The Golden Age of Diplomacy

Does anyone else find reading Sharp's "The Game of Diplomacy" really depressing? The level of dedication and analysis that he presents in the book would never be found today. Does anyone even talk about diplomacy theory anymore, or are we just left to reading relics of the past?

Homework this week

Your homework this week is to speak to an octogenarian. We won't have them for very much longer and so I think it's important for young people to meet these guys.

Hippies aren't quite the same. They're uptight in a way that the people older than them weren't.

Feature Idea

So, I play a lot of live games, and I make a lot of them. I would love an option that would let players make games where any NMR in the first year is an instant cancel. So, that way there's no situation where a Germany NMR's and England/France/Russia take advantage and go on to become monster powers.

WebDip F2F 2 June 21 in Chicago

Ok guys here's the new planning thread now that we have a date and place. Do you guys want to be in Chicago itself or in the suburbs?

@Abge Since you helped with the last F2F did you guys all meet up on the Friday then play on the Saturday or how'd you work that stuff out?

Yeah, not the typical "feminine" type of lady. But then most geek gamers, male or female, aren't the typical *anything*.

Celticfox (100 )

Well that's not true I also knit, crochet and sew and those are pretty feminine there. I just don't get the whole jewelry thing. I don't need a watch, don't really wear earrings unless it's a special thing and already have the only ring I want.

Also, expecting a whole year for the anniversary means you don't get a big celebration for your birthday or your partners birthday.

Celticfox (100 )

Now now MM, everyone knows you don't knmit dolls you crochet them and no. Draug has enough ego with out dolls (which I'm sure he'll call action figures) of him being made.

Also airline tend to open up booking 11 months out. I know from previous vacation planning.

Maybe he meant a Draugnar doily.

MajorMitchell (1874 )

well I did not know that Dolls are crochet'd not knitted.
so I've learnt something new.

You could macramé a noose for the crotched doll and make the Major really happy that he can hang it in effigy. :-)

Draugnar (0 )

crocheted doll, not crotched doll...

Macrame is something I just don't wanna learn though.

For those of you in the Chicago area -- as well as those of you willing to travel -- I'd like to invite you to bone up on your ftf play in advance of the big webDip tournament by joining us at our eighth annual Diplomacy tournament at the CODCon gaming convention in the western suburb of Glen Ellyn.

The three-round tournament will be April 5-6, 2014, at the College of DuPage. It's not necessary to play in all three rounds--although we hope you will--and it only takes one round to qualify for awards, of which there will be plenty: plaques for first through third place and best play of each country, prizes for fourth through seventh, and maybe some special awards.

CODCon is the Chicago area's longest-running Diplomacy tournament. It's a fun event, and the con offers some great people watching.

You can find more information about our tournament, including the schedule, here: http://windycityweasels.org/codcon8. Learn more about the CODCon convention here: http://www.codcon.com/.

Let me know if you have questions. Hope to see you there!

Jim

How to deal with people taking advantage of CD

Well, yet again, we have a situation where a country solos because its neighbors go CD from the outset, everyone else is completely sporting about declaring a draw.

Perhaps some kind of ban on new games for a couple weeks or something for this kind of cheating?

The Foundation Series

I (at the suggestion of a forum member, who's name I forget but will hopefully identify themselves), just read the first three books in the foundation series by Isaac Asimov. After calibrating my block list by reading through a recent gun control debate thread, I'd like to ask forum dwellers for their take on this series, or at least the premise.
