Question of General Principle- Noobie Games
Ok, I know I am not a "Noob" with over 150 games on the site, so I don't join "Noobie" games. But when they later lose a player and the country does into CD, how do people feel about anyone taking the replacement slot? Should it be held open for Noobies on general principle.

Greed in Diplomacy
What's the right amount of greed in a Diplomacy game? Is cooperation or competition the path to victory? Does a rising tide raise all ships, or is anyone else's gain your loss?
Alderian (2425 D(S))
11 Apr 10 UTC
Cooperation and competition go hand in hand. Haven't you read Earth by David Brin?

Besides, if you are doing the best, then you are likely about to be doing the worst due to being ganged up on. Sometimes its better to be second so you can help take down the big guy, thus becoming the big guy at just the right time.
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)

100% Selfishness. You play the game to win.

However, it is totally selfish to enter into an alliance of mutual benefit.
My main goal in a game is to make a new friend, but when it's time to win...it's time to win.
Connor Hack (344 D)
12 Apr 10 UTC
My goal is to win the game in the most honorable way. I feel winning without backstabbing an alliance, pause: I know its the nature of the game, but, makes you feel a little better about yourself knowing you did not make any enemies. Losing this way is also a way to say you got beat by a better strategist, and not a lying jerk.
~~"Honesty is the best policy."~~Ben Franklin
I don't know who the quote was by, but I really liked it. "I lie because I'm not good enough to win without." It was something like that. My next game I win I'll make it a goal to never lie.

I always play for draws. Points= gold imo

I never stab an ally, period.
Stukus (2126 D)
12 Apr 10 UTC
I do try to limit my lies. I feel like telling the truth is just more useful.
The right amount of greed is that which can be justified, explained away, or rendered inconsequential by the fall an opposing nation.

The wrong amount of greed draws attention to you, gives your enemies ammunition against you, or makes your own downfall inevitable.
Kingdroid (219 D)
12 Apr 10 UTC
I try not to backstab. Of course, if it is a temporary thing, then of course I'll turn on them when we've completed our objective, but if I make an alliance with somebody, i try to keep as closely to it as possible.

@TheGhostmaker - lol, your objectivism shines through.

What's the point in playing if you aren't going to try to win? I wouldn't try to win by outside influences, but by all means, try to win.

Te best players have a bag of tricks. using other greed is much more important than using it too much on yourself. It's an equal opportunity-destroyer
Octavious (2701 D)

I am not motivated by greed, but a selfless desire to liberate the lands of Europe from their tyrannical governments.
"What's the point in playing if you aren't going to try to win? I wouldn't try to win by outside influences, but by all means, try to win"

TheGhostMaker speaks from the heart of an idealist. We should find a few other players who think this way and play a 'winner-takes-all, no drawing until absolutely have to' game.
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)
12 Apr 10 UTC
Well, if you go for the win, you should get into a position where you are going to get a draw, normally. Particularly with France, Turkey, England, once your big, you're safe for the draw, and so are free to "go for it".

I started off being completely honest, but then after being repeatedly backstabbed and never winning any games, I've changed how I play... Sometimes I'm honest, but other times I'm not. I've been doing better since I stopped trusting people, and don't care about being 100% honest any more. It all about backstabbing before they backstab you first! This site needs some kind of honesty rep or something, heh.
orathaic (1009 D(B))

at leasdt it has a dishonesty rep, they are called D points, the more dishonest and decietful your are the more points you get... of course that only works if you are convincing... :P

@Octavious, props for your thought, it was quite profound
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)

MarekP is a very honest player in my experience, and yet he has a lot of points indeed.

In one game with him, he sent me a message saying words to the effect of, "I am going to attack you next turn". He won that game.
"started off being completely honest, but then after being repeatedly backstabbed and never winning any games, I've changed how I play... Sometimes I'm honest, but other times I'm not. I've been doing better since I stopped trusting people, and don't care about being 100% honest any more. It all about backstabbing before they backstab you first!

We're polar opposites.

A non Ghostrating challenge, non Cheating, non CDing fun game
Is anyone keen on a PPSC game with me? I'm thinking 24 to 36 hours but ideally 24. My Ghostranking is 33 and if we can get another couple of people ranked in the top 50 I'd like names to be visible as it's more sociable but if we don't have many high ranked players it will be anon to prevent anyone being tall poppied.

Anyone who's played me before and wants another game is welcome otherwise I'm always keen to meet new people too.
