Bad luck on the world map...
Which countries is it unluckiest to be landed with playing gunboat on the World Diplomacy XI map? Surely some are especially awkward to deal with. I'm looking at you, Australia...

Is there anything that forum members know nothing about?
It seems that we have many experts on here, but I'd like to find out what we don't know. Post your topics to see if we can find something we all know nothing about. I'll start.

I know you should expect to be backstabbed in this game but I feel like im being backstabbed every time I make an "alliance". Is this normal and does anyone else feel like they are being backstabbed this often?

Yes! Will we be playing anonymously?

I would prefer anon, yes.

I would be up for it starting wednesday next week, but I guess that's too late. Just wanted to say it.
LordDavion (265 D)
07 Jan 14 UTC
Anon makes sense, should be a fun game
Triumvir (1193 D)
07 Jan 14 UTC
Glad there is some interest. This is what we've got for players so far.

Triumvir
LordDavion
Skittles
ccga4
virtuslex
basvanopheusden

frenchie29 has also expressed interest in playing (via PM) and I expect he'll post here soon.

((Sorry, steephie. I'd really like to start sooner than next week.))

The game seems to have a good mix of seasoned players and newer folks just looking for a good game. I'm good with that if everyone else is.

My preferences are for 2-day anon WTA. Would everyone be okay with that? I'm also thinking a low buy-in (15-20 D) for the newer folks. Thoughts?
frenchie29 (185 D)
07 Jan 14 UTC
Yup, I'm interested. Glad to join you guys!
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
07 Jan 14 UTC
I'll play any phase. I just need a pause in a few weeks.
frenchie29 (185 D)
07 Jan 14 UTC
In terms of phase length and buy in, I don't mind length what length it is, just obviously with my low rank, a low buy in would be very appreciated. 15-20 works for me.
Triumvir (1193 D)
07 Jan 14 UTC
Glad you're interested, bo, but Frenchie made our seven. Hopefully we'll be able to play together again soon. I very much enjoyed our last game.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
07 Jan 14 UTC
Oh, okay, missed that. I'll stick as an alternate.
LordDavion (265 D)
07 Jan 14 UTC
Something along the lines you suggested Triumvir would be perfect. 2 Days/Anon/15/WTA has my vote
Triumvir (1193 D)
07 Jan 14 UTC
Is anyone opposed to 2day/anon/15 point WTA? If not, I'll get it set up and will PM everyone with the password.
frenchie29 (185 D)
07 Jan 14 UTC
2day/anon/15pt/WTA works for me!
virtuslex (483 D(S))
07 Jan 14 UTC
And me. Look forward to it and thank you.
Triumvir (1193 D)
07 Jan 14 UTC
Still waiting to hear back from Skittles, ccga4, and basvanopheusden. 2day/anon/15 D/WTA. Does that sound good to you all? I'd like to create the game this evening or tomorrow morning if I can.
ccga4 (1831 D(B))
07 Jan 14 UTC
Sounds good Triumvir!
Skittles (1014 D)
08 Jan 14 UTC
Those terms sound good to me
Triumvir (1193 D)
08 Jan 14 UTC
The game has been created with the discussed parameters. I will send the game ID and password to each of you.
Triumvir (1193 D)
08 Jan 14 UTC
I do apologize. I was confused and made the game 20 D. I hope that is not a problem.
LordDavion (265 D)
08 Jan 14 UTC
Pretty sure I have the least points going into this and its not a problem for me lol So I am pretty sure everyone else will be fine

Frenchie29 was banned so I'll be sending an invite to bo_sox48, who had also expressed interest.
2ndWhiteLine (2611 D(B))
08 Jan 14 UTC
Frenchie was banned for failing to reply to a mod email sent two weeks ago. Pending appeal, he may return, but probably best to start without him.
Triumvir (1193 D)
08 Jan 14 UTC
Thanks for the info, 2WL.
if the game hasn't started / bosox doesn't want to play I'll fill in happily

Frenchie is back apparently.

What is lamer than people who join but don't move?
I am new to this web based forum, but holy cow is there anything than people who don't move? I mean for crying out loud, you have 12 hours! to figure out what to do and, nope, can't be bothered! Yeah, it kind of wrecks the game for everyone else when the neighbor of the lamehead grows too strong too fast, but whatevs.

And joining a live game minutes before then simply doing limp? WTF?

The People's Choice--Facebook's Top 5 Great Authors...by Likes--Thoughts?
At least from my searching for them on the pages with the most likes to their name...leaving aside the J.K. Rowlings, Stephenie Meyers, And Stephen Kings--Shakespeare (surprise!) ranks 1st with 6.8 million, Maya Angelou (surprise...?) is 2nd with over 4 million, Gabriel Garcia Marquez is 3rd with over 3 million, Fyodor Dostoyevsky ranks 4th with 1 million, and Jane "Life Begins at Man and Gossipy Bickering" has 900K. ...Thoughts on what that says about our popular choice in classic authors?

Player needed
gameID=132903

Anon, 50 point buy-in, 2 day phases. This group has played several games with each other, but we need someone to fill in one spot. Post here if you're interested. This is a pretty good group, so the games have been pretty challenging (we haven't seen a solo yet). As long as you don't have any CDs, I'll PM the password to the first interested player.

This game is going to need a new Germany
The game was paused for the xmas break, but one of the players never came back to unpause. We're probably going to get a mod to unpause so we can continue - does anyone want the German position? It's not great, but also not over yet.
