Missing a turn without NMRing/CDing
In one of the games I'm in, France has not moved at all since the beginning (it's Spring 1902 now), but he hasn't NMRed or CDed, and so we can't cancel. Any idea what's going on?

House game 3/08 near Boston
I'm hosting a house game this coming Sunday (3/08) in Waltham MA, and would love a few more players. I actually already have one full board confirmed plus a couple extras, so I'm looking for 5-6 more people to make it a two-board event.

This is part of my effort to create a strong Boston community of Dippers, so all ages, skill-levels, and amounts FtF experience are welcome. Contact me if you're interested, either here or (preferably) at [email protected].

So "Wargame" is 75% off on Steam and it looks pretty good to me so I think I'll get at least one..
Red Dragon for €10? Franchise Pack for €12,50?
Is it worth playing the earlier games first/after Red Dragon stops being fun?
Is it a good game, anyway?

Diplomacy with WMD's
every country begins with 1 WMD(can only be used after 1902 build phase) every other year would be an automatic WMD for countries larger than 7 centers. (this way no nuclear war in 1901, or 1902). A WMD would annihilate all forces enemy or friendly in a given location and if it is a center render it neutral and impassable for 1 year. what would this add to the game?

I thought it would be interesting to see MAD employed in diplomacy.

Games are now created. gameID=156303 and just add numbers from there (sorry guys, I tried to time it to get an even 156300).

Passwords are March themed. I'll hand them out this weekend, but feel free to guess in the meantime.

Here's our line up:

Julien
TheWizard
The_Hanged_Man
Sh@dow
BFG
Skidmarks
VillageIdiot

The_Hanged_Man is currently holds the #4 spot in Ghost Ranking, Sh@dow is our #10, and myself at a modest #12. Not a bad representation.

Making this a special cross-over event we're joined from PlayDiplomacy by two of their Top 10 players BFG and Skidmarks. Skidmarks is also a PlayDip mod and BFG is a PlayDip tournament organizer.

Lastly we have two returning all-stars coming out of retirement after a years absence, Julien and TheWizard. Julien has been a top 20 player at many different occasions and is currently ranked #4 on Facebook Diplomacy and TheWizard is currently #4 of all time in the WebDip GR PeakRatings and before falling off the charts due to inactivity was ranked #1 for Full Press games on WebDip.

If that's not a game worth watching, i don't know what is!

What (is) Facebook Diplomacy? I'm unaware of a facebook-based playing site. But to be ranked one would think it's not a support group but rather analogous to Playdip/webDip/backstabbr.

Am I just crazy for not knowing/finding this?!

Wonder what crazy anomalies to the Ghost Ratings we'd see if one of the unrated guys managed to solo against five of the top players on the site.
peterwiggin (15158 D)
05 Mar 15 UTC
The new guy would debut with a rating in the high 100s or low 200s! (Rating, not rank). The other new guy would debut with a rating around 93, I believe, and the rest of you would lost some proportion of your points.
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))

My face-blindness is in full effect and I don't know if VI's infamous lack of math is here and he's asking non-ironically, if peterwiggin doesn't think it's a joke and stating the obvious, or if he's in on it too and being ironic. God save my soul.

Hi People, just want to say thanks for the warm welcome onto your site. So far I've been really impressed with the community - checking out your forums etc. I have no idea about this betting system, but am just looking forward to being beaten to crap by the players in this game. I hope we can put a good show on.
Yonni (136 D(S))
05 Mar 15 UTC
Really impressed by the forum? I'm skeptical of this guy already ; )

Don't pay attention to the betting system. There's currently a ranking system that's in flux called Ghost Rating. That's the one that people care about.

You're losing them BFG. Just ask to be +1'd and maybe say something insulting about one of the mods, you'll be a WebDipper in no time.

If that doesn't work try starting a "Free Draug!" chant.
