Modern Diplomacy Invitational Replacement
Would anyone be interested joining an in-progress Modern Diplomacy game? We are currently in 1998, in what was a high-quality game until Egypt suddenly disappeared.

Who would play a live game tonight?
I've come to realize that I don't have the patience for non-live games much. I need a minimum of 2 days/phase to have the free time to conduct diplomacy appropriately well, and that ends up being too long a game for me to maintain interest. However a live game (being no more than a 3-4 hr chunk of time) is pretty manageable. So I wanna play one.

Who's in?

I'm a Godfather!
I just became a Godfather and I'm wicked excited! With Christmas and his baptism coming up, I want to start thinking about things to do now and in the future. Obviously, it will largely depend on what the parents want, but I was hoping some people could share their thoughts on being a Godparent.
Thanks!

My godparents haven't been active in my life. If something were to have happened to my parents while I was a minor, I really don't even know who the people that would have become my guardians are. I know their names, I've met them a couple of times, but they live far away and haven't approached me at any point in my life. I don't think that you can do a bad job as long as you show that you care and try to ensure that he would be comfortable with you if something tragic were to happen and you had to take care of him. The fact that you care enough to ask for advice is probably a solid start.

Abge, something my parents did (are doing) for their Godson is buying him a piece of the Nativity set every year for Christmas. On his first birthday he got the stable, and now he is filling it up!
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

That is a very cool idea. I'd definitely like to do something long-term that builds into something cool. A friend of mine gives his Goddaughter one pearl for her birthday to form into a necklace when she's 18.

As someone with essentially 2 sets of godparents, my advice would be that just being some sort of presence is the most important thing you could do. How involved you can be depends on how geographically close you are, and how active the parents want you to be, but I've got a fabulous relationship with all of my godparents pretty much solely because I saw them somewhat regularly when I was little and they make a point of keeping in touch.
Presents are well and good, but actually being available to the kid will mean a LOT in 15-20 years. Spending a few days together once or twice a year goes a long way if you can actually establish a relationship.

The Greatest People in History Tournament--Nominations
We've done Literature, we've done Music...so, since we're a history-happy lot, why not tackle the (impossible but fun) task of asking "Who was the better general, Alexander or Genghis Khan?" (Though bobgenghiskhan is clearly the answer.) 4 categories: Military/Political Leaders, Artists, Inventors/Scientists, and a "Grab-Bag" category, for all the folks who don't fit in elsewhere. Nominate 1 for each category, and we'll start when we have 64 (or 128, either way.)

Good win percentage
Hey,

So I'm relatively new to this game (played 5 and won 1 of them). What's a good win percentage as a rookie player? Trying to figure out if I suck or if I'm any good.

Not classic Diplomacy
So I'm new, and just finding my way here. But I've been playing Diplomacy for almost 40 years (anyone else here?)! the interesting thing about the greatest game ever invented by a mailman, is that the main object isn't really stabbing someone, but learning to work together. and being trustworthy. Unfortunately, that's not a version this site espouses! Too bad, but i find the site enjoyable anyway.

Game stuck in PAUSE?
A game that involves me ("The classic Is the best") paused over the holiday and all players except one, who was last seen nearly two weeks ago, have long since voted un-pause. The remaining players would like to finish or draw the game.

Are we remaining 6 doomed to look at an unfinished game for eternity, should vanished player never return?
