choosing sides
do you have any say in what country you start as? i just started playing, and i've signed up for 2 games... and i'm italy in both games. i know enough about the game to know that this sucks. did i neglect to choose sides somehow, or do i just have horrible luck?

I'll actually answer you. It's all random so you do have horrible luck. I once had two Austrias.
No worries Sammy there's plenty of us old dogs to help 'em out.
Junior03, your luck is bad.

Italy is my favorite country to be. Don't despair.

Italy has a lot of potentials. If you learn to make some good diplomacy as Italy, some other country will be easier to lead in latter games :)

If you truly had bad luck, you would have gotten Austria instead of Italy.

The countries aren't unbalanced. The only thing that sucks is you don't get to play a variety.

the first part is not entirely true. Statistically speaking russia has the highest chance of winning the game, where italy has the lowest.
And i once had 3 games in a row where i was austria
Centurian (3257 D)

In my opinion the only reason that is true is because bad players can't prosper as a central power but they might stumble into power as a corner power. Played by experts, all countries are equal.

no its widely accepted that italy is a bit unbalanced

I consistently do pretty well as Italy actually. I won my first game as them.
Chrispminis (916 D)

Yeah, but since it's widely accepted that Italy is a bit unbalanced then people are more likely to attack say, Russia, than Italy because they know Russia poses more of a natural threat.

Expert diplomacy balances out the imbalances through recognition of imbalances. It's why Diplomacy variants still work alright despite the people who make them don't usually give too much thought to balance.

A Question about Survival
I survived in a game with zero ceners left because I still had a retreat to make after the person who attacked me reached 18 by taking my last SC. This kind of seems like a cheap way to survive... Would that be counted as survival in any of the major face-to-face tournaments today?

How do draws work?
The "Help" section isn't clear: do all players have to declare a draw, or is this something that happens automatically? If the latter, what triggers it?

This site's future
So close to 4000 games are completed now. i think this site needs a better interface? i suggest www.conquerclub.com as a model. something where all the data is arranged more in a table format than in the sort of list that is incredibly hard to read.

If you have anything to say to diplomat1824, but your wish to not publicly associate yourself with him outweighs your need to start your own thread, here's your chance. Post away.

winning percentage - a suggestion
I think that only your completed games should be used to calculate the percentages. It would make all of the percentages actually accurate. Games in progress shouldn't be included. Anyone else agree?
