variation supply centers are shared?

I read if 6 or 5 players are available a country (or more) should be eliminated, but is there a variation where instead eliminating countries supply centers are shared first by weaker or difficult countries?

For example, if only 6 players are available maybe turkey and Italy can share the supply centers of Austria. Something like that.

How to play with Austria

So on the classic map I've gotten Austria a couple of times. Austria is by far the hardest country to play or win with. How exactly would someone do well with Austria?

Bigger/better chatbox via custom CSS, v0.1 alpha

Fellow WebDippers,

If you use Stylish (or userstyles in general) you can install this style that I just created to make the chatbox bigger and easier to read. It's alpha (read: feature incomplete) but if you install the Stylish browser extension you can get started with it.

Proactive and Reactive Countries

I've recently had something close to a breakthrough about how to approach play with different countries in Diplomacy. The short of it: The same play style *doesn't* work for every country, because some countries are designed for more proactive play, and others are designed for more reactive play.

If it looks like your ally will NMR

What is the general consensus on how to approach an ally NMRing, or at least there being less than five minutes to go, and no moves reported yet? Should you stab or alter moves from the original plan assuming he or she is gone and you should take what you can before other nations? Or do you feel it is more appropriate to stick with the original plan? Follow up question: does your position change if it is an anon game?

DuffMcWhalen (0 )

Does the original plan have your ally enter hold orders for everything? Because that is the only way you can stick by the original plan.

Draugnar (0 )
11 Jul 14 UTC

Anon or non is irrelevant to me, but it depends on if I think it is just a single NMR or he'll CD. If I think he'll CD, I grab what I can. If I think it is a one time deal, then position is everything and I'll SH what I can or grab what I think may get lost to my enemy.

In other words, don't NMR if you are my ally.

Your first course of action should be to see if a moderator or admin is online and PM them to pause the game to prevent the NMR. If not, and they left you an opening, there's no unwritten rules that say you can't take it if it helps you, but look long-term as well as short-term if you do that.

If an admin or mod force pauses a game wih me in it because someone is about to NMR, I'd pitch such a bitch... NMRs are part of the game and mods should *not* interfere with the game.

Your allies are only useful while furthering your goals. If a NMR doesn't further your goals, then take from them all you can.

indeed, if they are NMRing, then it is probably time to switch sides, since the guy who is NMRing is going to lose, so better to be on the winning side. Don't like that treatment? Don't NMR. I try always to avoid allying myself with the weaker player if I can avoid it.

Not to "stab" an "ally" who isn't even there is a remarkable thing - being a stooge to a player who isn't even in the game.

Here is how to do it if it starts looking like your neighbor (ally or not) will NMR and you want to take advantage of it:
1) Open a 2nd window of the game board
2) In the 2nd window, make your modified moves *BUT DO NOT SAVE*. Just have them ready
3) In the 1st window, keep refreshing to see if he's still going to NMR
4) If he comes back, close the 2nd window -- no harm done and your original moves are still in place
5) Once it gets to about 30 seconds left in the phase, go to the 2nd window and save the modified moves
6) Profit.

Top 50 GR Game

I've just had a 2 month absence from playing on the site (which for me was a long time - even if I know people leave for much longer), and I would love to return to playing some high quality games.

This might be a bit ambitious, but I am hoping for a top 50 GR game (WTA July ratings). My rating is 31. Besides the GR rating, and a classic WTA, I really don't mind phase lengths, if it is non anon or semi anon, or the point buy in.

How bad is a beer and approximately a bottle of wine on one evening?

Judging by what others at the party talked about I thought it was reasonable (although a bit more than I was going for, I really liked the wine...), but yet others seem to think it's quite too much. There were people more drunk than me, but I won't base my drinking habits on what others do..
It was the first time I 'really' drank, probably worth mentioning.

First Game!

Hello all, I plan on joining my first game. I've mainly used the site to read the forums so now I need advice. Is it better to join a random pre-made game or should I request players from the forum so as to ensure it is a good game. If the latter, then if you are interested please post here. Ideally I would like to start the game next week. Anon, WTA, and a medium buy-in. Look forward to it!
