Coding Boot Camps
I listened to an interesting episode of On Point (probably the best radio show there is, btw) a few days ago about Coding Boot Camps. Here's a link to the episode and an older article if you don't have time to listen.

Looking for a Modern Diplomacy Analysis.
I have never played the variant before but I have been looking at some archived games of it on webdiplomacy recently. I was hoping that people would be willing to share any thoughts on it they have. I would love a country by country analysis.

Hi all. So with half of the Leagues completed, I thought now was as good a time as ever to update everyone with the standings and some new rules that will be in place next season.

Beginner's first game
Hello,
I'm new here, never played Diplomacy, doesn't have anyone to play it with IRL so I was wondering if anyone could help me understand the game better or maybe if there's other newcomers, we can create a new game so we all discover how it works together..

I am happy to answer questions as well...both rules related and specific strategic related questions. I wont tell you what to do but I am happy to give some incite into the positives and negatives of different strategies

I will open with the fact
dyager_nh (619 D)
03 Aug 15 UTC
I will open with the fact that 3 day phases is very long. It may not seek long but each year consists of 2 movements, 2 retreats and a build. This means you may only get 1 phase of things actually happening per week.

My advice would be to shorten that up as much as possible. I find two things about new diplomacy players - They send alot fewer messages and they get bored easily if the game doesnt kove along.
A_Tin_Can (2234 D)
03 Aug 15 UTC
It would be great to get the game rolling ASAP - It's looking like only two players are likely to request specific countries - I'll give the others 11 or so more hours, and then I'll shuffle the players.
LittleItaly (355 D)
03 Aug 15 UTC
Cool we are all rolling, thanks to @A_Tin_Can

The three day phase is setup so that if anyone has a busy weekend or something then they can take some time instead of looking to pause.

Btw, if everyone selects 'Ready' after choosing moves, does the game update immediately?
Brankl (231 D)
03 Aug 15 UTC
Yeah that's how the ready system works
dyager_nh (619 D)
03 Aug 15 UTC
Yes...BUT using the ready button is not something you will regularly see used often as it implies to others that you have made up your mind and no further discussion can be had.

That said, I sometimes use it to try and show someone I have discussed moves with, my resolve to commit to those moves. "I will load my support in now and ready up my orders". Course its all just for show as I can always change them
dyager_nh (619 D)
03 Aug 15 UTC
For instance :
I see Turkey has readied his orders already and the game has barely started. What does that mean? Have you talked to Turkey about his plans? Has any of his neighbors spoken to him?
If he has spoken to me about an alliance I assume this means he is really onboard. If he hasnt spoken to me extensively then I assume he is an enemy and I will spend the next two days rallying the board against him.

Germany....same questions come up from his ready mark. If I was England and Germany and I havent talked much I would assume he does not wish to be my ally....or worse...he only talked to France about ME and now they are teaming up against me.

People say I am too paranoid....two years ago when I started this game I was a nice trusting lovable guy.
Tru Ninja (1016 D(S))

Yeah, dyager_nh is right, avoid readying orders in almost all circumstances. Some people are ok with it, and a few more are fine with it if it's not 1901 and it's not right away, but most (many) see it negatively.

Here are some times you can use it without people viewing it negatively:
--During build and retreat phases
--when you're down to 0 centers and your orders are the only ones holding up the game
--when others are readying orders

How do you randomly select nations in a Face-2-Face game?
I just got an actual Diplomacy board game and am about to play my first Face-2-Face. What are the most common methods for randomly selecting nations? Draw out of a hat? Youngest picks first? Best Franz Ferdinand impression gets Austria?
