I'm currently involved in a game with a handful of new players, VERY fast paced. As a result, I'm getting messages flying at me, especially over the global chat, between strategizing and asking how certain features work. As a result, some of my transcripts are getting lost in the chatlog. Is there any way to expand the viewable window of press?

Where do the old threads go to? I wanted to check something I recall having read.

Just wanted to see what you guys think of this.
Iran wants peaceful nuclear energy which is allowed under the NPT
US and much of the west wont allow this and break the treaty by refusing to let Iran have it. So whose wrong the US for breaking the treaty or Iran for pursuing it (or are they lying)?

Which is your favorite country to play and why?

In your opinion, which country is best for first-time players? (thinking of my girlfriend here...)

What differences have you noticed in styles of play among countries/nationalities/age groups/gender, etc?

What exactly are these leagues?

215 points to join... PPSC. 24 hours play.

On this site, do all draws include all survivors?
For example England has 16 and Turkey has 16 and Germany has two. Can the Germans elect to agree to a two way draw between England and Turkey.
Or is it that the draw must include all survivors and then England and Turkey would have to wipe out the Germans in order to get to a two way draw?

As background, numerous Face to Face tournaments have different rules on how votes are take (some are open like here or secret)
some votes require that 30 or 29 centers be in the majority others require a unanimous vote to pass anything,
some say you can vote yourself out of a draw
some say that there is a minimum number of centers or time past before a game can be voted to an end.
some have no concept of a draw at all but only have the vote to end the game.

What are the exact details here?

Or a nuclear anywhere?

Newbie here.

I've played Diplomacy a few times before, but this is my first time on the site.

It's a neat game I've been playing for the last half hour, and I've been most pleased with my results. =D

I've won a world cup, and have scored 2078. I've yet to break through to the master's board and represent Canada however...

See if you can beat my score!

Germany, Turkey and Russia want a draw in game -6.

I'm Germany and I say sure.

This is what Maniac has to say on meta-gaming

"what i was trying to acheive is letting my opponents and allies know that building partnerships spans games and if you stab me in one, watch out for me in another. Once that's clear, i think i would be stabbed less - it's the meta-game - not cheating!"

I am russia, and turkey and germany will be posting their agreement shortly.

It's called Dolchstoß, which means "dagger stab" in German. It was used to describe the idea that communists and other domestic subversives were the real reason Germany lost the First World War. Lots a fun, people.

I was surprised to see this, but in the small games section at my local B&N in NJ (a mega bookstore for those outside the US), right next to chess and Scattegories was Diplomacy. I never would have thought to find it there.

I'm curious what would happen if two powers tried to convoy the same unit and both orders would work.

I was looking at some games in progress or ended (forgot which) and I noticed that some games were started at dates other than 1901. What is that all about?

The surviving powers in Fun time at the beach - Fra, Eng, Rus, Ita, Tur -would like to request a draw for the following game. Confirmations below.

Is there a way to un-create one's accout?

I've started a fast paced game more intended for new players. so if you're really experienced, please give us a chance to learn!

New players, feel free to join!

Hi, I have a new game at:
http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=5732
25 points to enter. 24 hour phases

http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=5728

PPSC, 95 point buy-in. I'm the second player to join; we still need 5 more.

Do you all do End of Game Statements?

Each player puts an equal number of points into the pot to join a game. Thus each supply centre has a point value.

When, during the game, a player abandons play and a country goes into civil disorder, the abandoned country is offered to another player at a 'cost'.

How is this cost to take over a country in civil disorder determined?
--
If the cost to take over a country in civil disorder is the average value per supply centre times the number of supply centres 'controled' by the country in civil disorder, since the SC counts are only adjusted after the fall retreat, the number of supply centres reflected as belonging to the country in civil disorder is often extremely inaccurate.

If the acquisition cost for a country in civil disorder is based upon the value of supply centres in its possession, does that take into account the actual SC count, as opposed to what the SC count might have been prior to the most recent spring season?
