have fun!
Newbs only!

iminininimi (85) and Quitex (36) are the same person! Check out "Kill Bill", "cqdh", and "Confessions on the war zone". What recurse do the players of these game have?

What is the recourse if a game has one person playing multi countries? The game "Kill Bill" has something terribly wrong and Overture (80) and I suspected it a few moves ago. Look at sign-in times and history of moves of RUS and TRY especially that both signed on within minutes and neither signed on for critical last movement cycle.

I just created a new game called Hoka! Hoka! Hoka! with an entry set at 40 points. The game is Points-per-supply-center, and has no password. Join if you're not going to go CD!

Thanks.

I took over Austria for free as he had no SCs, though I thought he may still have had an army that I could possibly use. I was wrong, and now I'm stuck in a game that has no red on the board. However the game said that Austria was still alive but there were no orders to enter. I dont really know how to explain it properly so here is the link:

I like my guns, but I don't like it that crazy people have guns. What's a guy to do?

Before discussing what we have as a culture here, what are the questions that should be asked?

I just finished my first game of Diplomacy. I have to say, what an awesome game! I'm addicted. I found the Facebook version first, so that's where my first game started, but I have on-going game here too. I think this is a better forum than the Facebook version so I hope you don't mind if I discuss my games here.

All this and more for a mere ~300 points!!!
What are you waiting for?!

Still a defensible position if you act fast.

Password is trim101 (IIRC). Please note that there is NO PRESS allowed in this game.

Why does Germany have to retreat from Kiel?
Is there a rule concerning foreign support that I'm not aware of?

http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=5578

Germany's fleet shouldn't have retreat orders.

Reading on "my first game" thread initiated by spyman, I found lot of users talking about the bad feeling in stubbing somebody. I convene with that and I wonder... It is common for Dip players to win games without stubbing for the entire duration of the game? Meaning negotiating your way with allied powers and attacking only countries you are not allied with?

As ever, beside players opinions in this thread, I would greatly appreciate URL's to articles and essays...

Hello... I played diplomacy a LOOOONG time ago (I'm speaking of decades here!) for only one game, but never forgot the game ever since, so here I am, proposing a new game, for rookies like me or people who would like to coach rookies so - while beating me - still advising/commenting/explaining the tricks of the trade.

Cheers!

I wonder how many of those are active? How many multis ?

Has Diplomacy affected other areas of your life. About a dozen years ago, I got a cat. For the first 2 months or so, the cat had no names. I kept trying out names, but nothing seemed to fit. Then one day, I was listening to Pink Floyd's The Final Cut, when this line came on...
"If it wasn't for the nips
Being so good at building ships
The yards would still be open on the clyde."

Without Diplomacy, I never would have known what the Clyde was. And my cat got his name.

Dingleberry, could you please explain what you meant by hack attempt? How could it work on this site, what would it mean to me, and how do I avoid it? Thanks!

hello,
I'm new and trying to learn the game as quick as I can. I've read a few basic articles on the net and would like to try my ideas out. If anybody is interested to play a quicker game (because I'd like to come up to speed skill-wise as quickly as possible) then please join my game. It's only 5 dollars and I'm hoping people will join.

I am Germany and i agree to the draw.

I know it's an obvious question - A crappy position that you can't be bothered to try to turn around.

But it is very easy to turn two (or more) warring nations against eachother and convince one (or both/all) to help you out! In FtF games if I ever started to lose I would just convince one of my brothers to help me out in return for the (often false) promise that I would ally with him against his enemies!

There is also the feeling that you get when you give up when you are still in the game (well, technically). Do people enjoy this feeling?

So think next time you're losing. A) Can I turn this round with another players support and B) Can I face the shame of losing?

I'm Italy and agree to the draw. Germany and Turkey to confirm shortly. Thanks.

Hello everybody, in an other post some of you pointed me towards excellent articles that I found very useful... so here another request, hoping new inspiring reading will be suggested!

I am looking for articles about using fleets. I would be very interested about understanding more on the general maritime strategy, but I would not disregard articles about particular locations either (for example: the Black sea or the English channel seem to me to have a "special" role in the game...).

Any suggestion welcome. Thank you!

Kestas,
When I joined this game, I didn't really think anything of it, but after looking at it again, the name of this game looks like a hack attempt.

I was the 2nd player to join, so I do know who created the table, but I assume you have that in your logs?
