I am going to start a speak in character game. If you are interested, put a way to contact you on the thread, and i will email you a password. first come, first serve.

Why is the movement phase called "Diplomacy"?

Can lostactionhero be placed in civil disorder in all his games. He is clearly away and is holding up a number of games.

Please could you reply to this if you are a female user of the site...

When will the update occur which allows us to support convoyed armies. This is a critical aspect of the game and definately affects the way I play (In some cases it limits my success.) Let me know

Where are the orders? Can we read each seasons orders?

What is up with people talking out of character in games? This is Diplomacy. Press is part of the game. No need for comments like "I'm not an idiot, I've won DipCons" and "please only send messages when you know what you are doing."

Press is a vital part of the game, to say that people shouldn't be communicating, in character, is laughable.

Why is Diplomacy called "Diplomacy" when the entire game is based around war. There is a board game, "Settlers of Catan" which focuses entirely on economics and bartering with resoures. That game has the same merit to be called Diplomacy as "Diplomacy" or "Axis and Allies."

I am curious of alternate (logical) names for this game.

The game UT 1900 has been created, and everybody please join, whether or not you're an Unreal Tournament fan or not. However, if you have just joined and are probably going to quit after the first turn, please do not join.

I am Russia in our game, The Politics, and I posted a move that did not occur correctly. I supported my fleet into Constantinople, and Austria moved his armies so there could only have been one support. At a minimum neither of us should have had any units there, or if he did not support the move into Con. then I would have taken it. Please advise?

Sat 02 AM Spring 1904, Diplomacy: Your army at Ankara successfully supported the fleet at Black Sea move to Constantinople.
Sat 02 AM Spring 1904, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Black Sea moving into Constantinople recieved move support from the army at Ankara.
Sat 02 AM Spring 1904, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Black Sea attempted to attack the army at Constantinople, but failed.

Is it possible to support an army that attacks via a convoy? If so, how is this done? In a recent game (The LO), France supported a convoyed army to Holland, but failed with the following message:

Autumn 1902, Diplomacy: Your army at Belgium's move support wasn't accepted by the unit which support was being given to.

Is there something special that needs to be done for this to work??? I would rather not try again until I am sure it is possible to do this...

you forgot the Battle of Coruscant (27 ABY)

Only ONE more needed for the Battle of Endor!

I dont think this is such a big problem yet but in order to prevent further abuse what is being done about people making multiple accounts and making them all join one game. Since a person might control 2 characters in one game he already has a perma. alliance with themselves and can crush countries near him. Is there a 1 account per ip being enforced or anything?

hey guys too much work in school going on now so im just going civil disorder in all my games. sorry guys use it to your advantage i guess :/. maybe ill come back later.

I find that all of you opposing my decision to join so many games are right and I regret to say that not in one of them, i have made good progress, and I would like to apologize to all who called me a statpadder, for I am, for now a Mastermind. I would like to also apologize to my allies in my current games, for I will be leaving them for now.

I think there should be a chat system made for users outside of a game, it really helps communication with friends in reality. Will there ever be one?

I will be finishing my diplomar thesis and enjoying extended holidays this spring/summer, so I won't join any new games anymore.

Thanks for this great game and thanks for all of you having been great opponents.

Maybe I will take over 1 or 2 civil disordered countries, otherwise see you in autumn.

Good luck to all of you

game 'class 7-6 only' is for only class 7-6, the password is the last name of our math/science teacher. PLEASE START JOINING, GAME WILL START SOON!

i made another HB WW game. the password is:

[another word for hello]+[a word in our school's name that starts with "w"]-[another word for hello]

...but i can change everything else.

If you are Sicilian, or of the Dragon persuasion, you should join.

since no one joined the game, it didn't start. we needed more players. the password is his last name. (this is so we don't have anyone who's completely new to Diplomacy joining) if you want to join reply to this and when i have six replies i'll make the game.

From what I understand, the scoring system will work off the games you've finished (and possibly what you're still in). However, since players take over games in CD, it will not say how many times you went CD. This could simply be counted with a figure, but if so, I was just wondering what people thought about running the score in a field, so it can count this. This would catch people who go CD to get out of problems. However, this would need to be carefully done, because I was doing rather well in a few games, like below, where I had 14 SC's or something around that, then fell into CD.

Also, a slight note on the anti-multi front: there should be a section checking for players who take over CDs. Otherwise, people could you "substitute" a second account in for their good one, keeping stats high.

How do you attack with multiple 'armies'. Ive tried the support movement but it doesnt seem to be working. Its the third drop down menu that confuses me. If say i click an army to support move to london and another is set to move to london, should that not work?

Yo mazecraze, join the game hopeless!
Everyone else who wants to have a good game of backstabbing, come on in and join!

The password is his surname. THe reason for this is that i don't want half-hearted shiznos. Ok good.

im playing as england who was just evicted from STP from a russian attack from livonia with Moscow support...... why is it though it doesnt give my fleet the option to retreat to the barents sea? or anywhere for that matter?

"It's the waiting I can't stand!"

There must be other players, like myself, who spend most of their lives within easy reach of a computer, and consequently find themselves checking the site for updates several times a day, bemoaning those little red crosses that hold everyone up.

Please, make yourself known to me in this thread, when I get 7 names I'll set up a fast game just for us. Hopefully I can find other like-minded people determined that a turn should last no longer than 8 hours maximum (given that we all have to sleep!) and assuming we're not in opposing time zones, most turns being dealt with in less than 2 hours. Including thinking time!
