1,408 balanced reduced latin squares.
Once a half a year or so ago on here, I mentioned this paper http://condor.depaul.edu/mash/Diplomacy.pdf and how I'd really like to get my hand on some of those squares. Well, Tim McMurry sent me 1,408 reduced latin squares to be used in balanced diplomacy tournaments.

The Art of Correspondence in the Game of Diplomacy
Hi folks, I just wanted to alert the webdip community to my new book. I've finally completed a two-year study of what makes for effective negotiations (and what doesn't work so well). http://www.amazon.com/Art-Correspondence-Game-Diplomacy-ebook/dp/B015XAJFM0/ Thanks, Conor

Top 100 GR game. Full press. Anon. WTA.
Hi all, I want to try and play one more game before I take a break again. Some games I played the past months have been great, others a bit disappointing. Overall I still think GR is the best indicator for a noNMR high level of press game, as it was three years ago before I returned to the site. So for my last game before my break I'd like to try and set up a top 100 GR game. Is there anyone out there willing to spar?

Off to work to play Diplomacy
Today I'm in the fantastic position that I'm off to work to play Diplomacy. Or at least, GM it. A local bank is setting up a game for 300 (!) employees, in a trajectory to kickstart discussions about trust and audacity in company culture. I'm really interested: have others ever used Diplomacy in a professional setting? Maybe we're on to something.

Yeah, teams need to select a leader, but they can pick.
It's going to be fucking chaos, that's for sure. Sounds like fun!
I'm skipping the game test phase, but am now open to applications by people who are able to handle big groups and want to help to adjudicate. See details here:

Whee. That's gonna be madness. :-) Have fun.
Still looking for GMs!

We'll play on the classic map, but with 11 powers (crowded variant), and no differentiation in fleets and armies (any unit can move anywhere - cataclysm variant). To make things easier (ahem) we're letting the 11 powers be played by teams of four people. This means we'll have roughly eight board, which each have about 44 players. Ambitious? Yes. But also a lot of fun.

We're looking for EIGHT Gamemasters to help out on 7 October, the whole day.

I will be coordinating the overall day, but we're looking for eight gamemasters to handle each of the tables. The day would start in the morning, prepping the rooms, going over the rules and double checking materials. The game itself would last roughly from 13:30 to 17:00 (half hour break). There is a compensation of € 125 euros for people willing to spend their day playing diplomacy. The requirements are simple:
- Able to coordinate a large group of people
- Able to adjudicate complex games
- Able to stick to the clock (automated)
- Able to make judgement calls and communicate them clearly.

Please let me know via PM if you're interested in being part of Diplomacy history - paid.

I'll be collecting games throughout the weekend too, at a three-table Face-To-Face event in Utrecht (actually, I should post that here too), and then I'll inform everybody on the final list on Monday.
I just finished designing the core maps for the Bank Dip. See here:
http://imgur.com/a/Y0CO1

They're made to ensure minimal ambiguity for new players. The variant is Crowded Cataclysm, except that I think Low Countries is too vulnerable, so I added a small buffer against Germany.

Any and all comments welcomed.

Ooo, looks nice. I think there's meant to be a naming convention about cities for home SCs vs territory names, but I expect that fixing it would create more confusion than it's worth. Good luck!
We seem to have at least three WebDippers GMing: Victorious, Diplomat61 and myself - should be fun!
We might still need backups (not all GMs are confirmed), so any last minute takers can still contact me.

I like crowded, but your map is missing the coast names? Did you decide to simplify and remove coast from the game??
Victorious (768 D)

He said before that there will be no difference between land units and sea units. So you wont need a coast.

So I have permission to use a 3D printer for my boardgame prototype..
Now I need 3 D models to print and use as units. I need tanks, infantry, helicopters, planes, artillery, battleships, factories, territory markers (flags or more creative) and possibly the resources oil, iron, gold and aluminium depicted somehow..
Could I find files for those somewhere? Thoughts?

How does PPSC work?
I thought that in PPSC you always, no matter what, hey points according to the number of SCs you control. But someone in game told me that if you draw, all the points are split among survivors.

Can someone clarify for me?
