Game of Champions update:
The original thread about this 500-point game has dropped off the end, I thought people might like to see how things are progressing. Surprise surprise, Rait is winning..!

Russia dropped out, which was useful for me but not really for the game as a contest. It's a shame we could only start with 6 players too, which was useful for Rait!

diplomacy therapy
this is a little space where diplomacy players can share their feelings and thoughts about their traumatic experiences in the game.

are you feeling vulnerable? insecure? paranoid? too many scars on your back? or are you waking up in an anxiety attack of how a fellow player who you trusted dearly to the extreme that you even thought about the possibility to leave your children with him a night...could had betrayed you so hard and even 3 or 4 times in a row?

share your feelings; cry if you want to; lets share a cibernetic hug of comadery.

you REALLY can trust us.

Not enough drivel
There's a severe shortage of activity on this here forum. Where are all the public shaming of other users, arguments about what constitutes meta-gaming, questions that have been asked again and again and are in the faq and the vitriolic responses to them?

More than one user on a network...
I've got a colleague who would like to play on the same work network as me, do we need to inform any admin in order for us not to be flagged as multis? Or does this work on more of a trust basis?

Poor winners
There's always the asshole who, when the game has been decided long ago, will position himself to maximize his supply centers, just so he can gain the most possible points...for WHAT?!

I declare SlkySmoothOtter to be a point whore, poor winner and hope to never play him again because of this.

I understand it's perfectly within his right, but it doesn't make it any less shitty. How many more times will I have to enter orders for a game that's been over three turns ago.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Player in 'acting in own interests' shock! Trying to climb leaderboard in selfish manner!

Seriously though, can you blame people for this? That's the curse of points, that people are going to want to maximize them. Sure, it sucks, but naming and shaming is the wrong tactic. Besides, I fail to see the logic, if you know a player's strategy, in broadcasting that knowledge to all and sundry. Keep it to yourself and use it to your benefit.
alamothe (3367 D(B))

he'll get points only for 18 SCs even if he finnishes with more, i think that Kestas implemented this (to stop people being an assholes :-)

05 Nov 07 UTC
if his actions increase his points then i dont see a problem here.

a question darwyn; did you express your thoughts to this player before you wrtite this tantrum in here?
alamothe (3367 D(B))
05 Nov 07 UTC
and i think Darwyn is right. prolonging the game when you have a clear victory in order to get more than 18 SCs (while masturbating to this in front of your monitor) is disturbing

Darwyn (1601 D)
05 Nov 07 UTC
TOgilvie, I agree, that's the curse of points...but if what alamothe says is true, this isn't "acting in his own interests"...it's being an ass.

Also, what's the strategy here? There isn't any strategy, unless you want people to view you as an ass...then mission accomplished.

Yes, pitirre, I did express my thoughts. And I felt he was a great player before this.

Darwyn (1601 D)
05 Nov 07 UTC
And I see nothing wrong with calling him out on this. He's the one who chose to be a poor winner...I think people should know this about him.

TeutonicPlague (250 D)
05 Nov 07 UTC
I hope his arguments are silky smooth, or I will call him out for having a misleading name. I refuse to play with people who can't live up to their user names. The Mahatma obviously isn't really "The Mahatma" and I don't think Darwyn penned the "Descent of Man," even if he would like us to think so. I can live with multiaccounts, metagaming, civil disorders, sore losers, and sore winners - but don't lie in your user name.

One funny comment - You are mostly not able to avoid playing with someone unless: a) You play only in private games or b) You always join the game as a last player or c) You set the bet so high, that only very chosen people can join the game.

I understand that, that's why I used the word "hope".

If I end up being paired with him again, I'll decide what to do about it then. Perhaps I'll be "over" it. Perhaps not.

Allow me to post a retraction...

His explanation was that he had agreed to allow France to remain with three territories and was simply adhering to this.

While noble, without having communicated this, it looked an awful lot like what I suggested.

About the original post: Get over it, man! I myself get into it too hard too soon, too often. More often than not, it turns out players did have a pretty good reason to do as they saw fit, markedly different from what you saw they should do. And all those people going CD very fast - just avoid them in the future.

game : counter:strikers
hi everybody...i just joined this game http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gid=2053

i'm playing france; in the first turn england asked me english channel as dmz, and i agreed, and an alliance, i also agreed to that one...in the meanwhile italy asked me not to enter into piedmont, and a mediterrean peace, i confirmed...three of the players didn't move , england and italy backstabbed me , england saying that the other two players (germany and italy) are allied against me and he can't ally with me( ain't that stupid?)
it's an unplayable game :(

can't we do something against no-playing-players? losing the double of the points for example? they make the game unfair

Green players spoiling the game....
I was in a game when 5 of the other 6 were of a group of boys, and that they were all very green to this game. Among them, only one know how to play this game (sort of, and the other 5 are simply wasting time doing silly stuff, like allowing others to get the SCs around them, then after they left if dead empty, never thought of taking it....and moving around stupidly..........I feel a real waste of time, so mind you all that these ppl can indeed spoil games......
