GoT Variant?
I recently started watching Game of Thrones, and as you can imagine it reminded me of this wretched game quite a bit. Has anyone thought of making a variant based on Westeros? Does one already exist?

The King is Dead! in Modern Europe!

Bernie Sanders kicked out of hippie commune for laziness
http://freebeacon.com/politics/bernie-sanders-asked-leave-hippie-commune/

Raises the question in my mind of what will be done (if anything) with people who refuse to work in the socialist society Bernie and his supporters wish to impose. Forced labor camps? Expulsion from the country? Revocation of their EBT card and Section 8 subsidies? Or nothing?

Participants wanted for slightly longer game
I won't have time to play shorter games for several weeks, but I want to go ahead and get a slightly longer game started with some reliable folks who don't mind 3 day phases.

HTML help wanted for SoW

The School of War has long been one of the best features of the site, but unfortunately a number of the threads were lost when Kestas purged the forum database to improve site performance.

Next week I'm going to dive into one of the backups and pull out all the SoW posts - but I'm looking for someone to help put them together into HTML pages that we can host on the site (ideally it would be posts alongside maps from the game - which would make a *great* resource that we don't currently have).

Do *you* have time on your hands and a working knowledge of HTML? I'd provide you with thread dumps from the forum - all you'd have to do is paste them together in whatever way you like/think would be useful.
A_Tin_Can (2234 D)
27 Apr 16 UTC
Making the old SoW threads more accessible is going to be a great resource, and something that doesn't exist elsewhere. I imagine publishing the posts with the maps would make a splash in the Diplomacy hobby globally - this is your chance to be famous in Diplomacy land.

Will this be hosted on a different site? Will you be doing work yourself and do you just want a helping hand or do you want to hand all the work over to someone else?

How would you feel about a big "Powered By Broad Expert" ad on that site? :-P :-)

I might help, but I probably should start learning for my exams first :-)

"Will this be hosted on a different site?"

No, here at webdip.

"Will you be doing work yourself and do you just want a helping hand or do you want to hand all the work over to someone else?"

I'm looking for someone to take the forum text and put it in to a nice HTML page including the map images. Or to write a program to do that.

"How would you feel about a big "Powered By Broad Expert" ad on that site?"

Whoever does this can have their username/real name credited, of course. We're not looking for corporate sponsorship.
steephie22 (182 D(S))

The ad was a joke, just for the record.
If you've found no one by the end of May, I'll consider if you remind me.

Presumably you have found someone roughly 30 days before then.

orathaic (1009 D(B))

Ok, so you want a simple php script (or equivalent) to grab game images from the site and then nicely format the SoW thread with game images?

I'm tempted to help. It seems within my abilities, but i can't commit to anything right now.
A_Tin_Can (2234 D)

That would be amazing. The hard part (that requires some human intervention) is matching commentary with phases, since we don't have phase change timestamps (by a coincidence of implementation).

To whomever decides to take on this project, I have a simple script that will download all maps of a given game. If you'd find that helpful, just shoot me a PM and I'll give it to you.

The Trump Effect
Recently I've been hearing several left leaning souls start talking about the likelihood of them voting Trump now that the Bern has been all but extinguished. What I am curious about is why. What is it about Trump that makes him the lesser of two evils?

Just a basic question!
What does voting to 'Cancel' mean? what do you cancel when you vote for it?
And, how does Pause work? when you pause, how do you resume the game? is it paused for a specific amount of time or do you vote to un-pause later?

First Time Prom.
Help me WebDip, you're my only hope.

Seriously, though, I am a male junior, and found out today that the person on my mind has me on hers. Prom is in 2 weeks. I have not asked her, and fear that the window has shut on this opportunity. Even if I did go (all my buddies want me to go) I would have no idea what to do, what to say, or where to go.

I think this article raises interesting questions about tue performance of masculinity: survival skills, reverence for 'back to nature' thinking, inner city violence... Never mind sexuality.

Modern Diplomacy Game with 5 teams
Hello guys, I´m intending to do a Modern Diplomacy Game with 5 teams. 10 players, but without any communications inside de game. The only way to communication is talking to this real person by email, whatsapp, etc.
But to have equation, balance, one should have just another guy in his team. Not a 3 person team. This will work? ANyone want to participate?
