So, HOW ABOUT THOSE METS?! :D Oh, and NFL WEEK 1 PICK 'EM!
Hi. What's new? :3 Um, something something Shakespeare...
And it's NFL Pick 'em Time...yes, time to pick a new commissioner! ;) Or, you know, divisions, wild cards, conference title games, and the Super Bowl winner. And of course the week by week picks--Steelers/Patriots go tomorrow, Sunday notables include Broncos/Ravens, Chargers/Lions, Giants/Cowboys, and my OH GOD WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE BLACK JERSEYS?! 49ers play Monday night! The Week 1 match-ups...pick 'em!

webDip-vDip crossover
Hello webDip!
I hail from your sister site, vDip, where I run under the handle TheatreVarus.
We are severely starved for players at the moment, and were hoping some of you could join up.
We have many available variants, including my current favorite, Viking Diplomacy.

Tips for World Diplomacy
I have played 50+ games on the World Diplomacy variant, but I have not soloed. Honestly, it seems like you can see a powerhouse coming so far back, it is impossible to not get faced with a stalemate line!

Please post any hints here, I wanna conquer the world :'(

Thanks ya'll for the good wishes. Wedding and kids are both in the future, but I honestly haven't planned much beyond this weekend, tbh. : )

@steephie

How much do you charge for wedding services? I didn't see it listed on your website. Do I get a discount if I order in bulk?

The problem with proposing to one girlfriend is that the others tend to get jealous.

Congrats muchly, sir! Now comes the tricky bit where you're forced to stand back and watch other people get very stressed as they make a hash of organising a wedding.

Indeed. More invitees could mean more generosity, but people might feel less inclined to gift stuff if there are many invitees.

It's important to pick the right invitees, otherwise your wedding revenue might go down.

Lol steephie, abge is a good enough diplomacy player that he won't have too many people he doesn't want at his wedding with a decent amount of gifts.

Now if he was like MadMarx or Babak I would expect him to have a wedding with under 50 people, and yet have his closest 500 friends and distant family send amazing gifts whilst apologizing profusely for not being worthy enough to get an invitation to his wedding and promising future favors to make up for it.

Congrats! My wife did wrily ask "how did he manage that if he's playing on that accursed site?" Well, not precisely that....

Have fun! Marriage is great. Take the time to maintain it, though
steephie22 (182 D(S))
09 Sep 15 UTC
Ah, but, you see, they're not married yet. Abge should seriously consider postponing the marriage to infinity because that way he can have all the benefits without the disadvantages, chief amongst which is enough time to play Diplomacy.

The trick is to make her believe it's in her best interests to do this.. reap the benefits, stab her and reap more benefits.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
09 Sep 15 UTC
Have you considered marrying, divorcing and marrying again to increase the gift revenue?
steephie22 (182 D(S))
09 Sep 15 UTC
Alternatively, hold receptions on days when it's bound to rain and blow off the wedding because of the rain but keep the gifts. Rinse and repeat.

If you do the marriage thing right, you can retire :-)

EXACTLY when does a game end?
In my set of rules, rule XIII indicates that possession of a SC only occurs after fall retreats have been completed. On this site, it seems that for purposes of determining a solo victory, a victory is declared following the fall diplomacy phase prior to retreats. For clarification: on a fall turn that great power A takes its 18th SC but great power B could then retreat into into one of country A's SCs, is country A awarded a win prior to that fall's retreats? Thank you.

Returning after a four year break...

Where do I post suggestions?
Am I the only person that doesn't understand why they page layout is so narrow? there is significant space in the right and left margins for order information, game state information, and everything you need at a single glance, instead of all the scrolling i have to do. the layout is especially important because the page has to be refreshed constantly.

Suggestion
This website should have statistics for each country of each map (wins, draws, losses, etc.) like vdiplomacy.

I know this is a feature request and I'm supposed to check the todo list, but the forum that the "todo list" link directs to doesn't seem to have been used since last year, and I can't seem to find the actual list anywhere.
