On metagaming and Diplomacy - a few quotes
It seems that quite a few people here have a negative opinion on so-called "metagaming". Metagaming is a term for using information that is not usually available inside the game.
I think that metagaming IS the real Diplomacy. I've collected a few quotes by famous Diplomacy players that might be interesting for you:

WalnutCreek Game...
It's been in the "Open" tab because it is paused, and I finally opened up the game and saw they haven't been online for 500-700 days!!!! Someone should delete that game/tell them by email to draw/cancel. I'm sick of looking at that game.

Request for a Tournament Director - Grand Festive Diplomacy Tournament
This was a really great tournament which last began 2 years ago now. Since then thewonderllama has been unable to run this tournament. Much as I like to be reigning champion in a diplomacy tournament, I want to see this tournament revived. If there is anyone interested in reviving and running this tournament, I would love to hear from them, and will help them to realise it.

Is this time for that? Really?
It's almost over and I hope Austria learnt a very important lesson. Don't stab the gut who is holding down the stalemate line. He may just give it up.

CDing should reduce your ability to regenerate
Maybe this is just annoyance at having a game ruined, but I think CDing regularly should reduce how many points you get back when you go under 100.

Retreat after dislodgement
Suppose an army tries to move from A to B, however, it is being bounced and doesn't make it to B. In addition, another army (with support) enters A, so the army that was in A is forced to retreat.
Can it retreat to B?

God Created The Heaven And The Earth...And Deleted Humanity As A Facebook Friend
Just a fun idea I had at 4:30 in the morning--what if God had a Facebook account? (I already feel sillier just typing that lol...) :p
Is God the type who has like 1,000 friends and adds every person he meets, or the kind who has maybe 50 at the most and rarely talks too much...has he deleted us? Who's he friends with? What apps does he use? Or is God that guy who goes "Facebook is DUMB!"...and is a closeted Facebook fiend? ;) (Just have fun with it, no fighting....)

Looking For Local Volunteer Organizations
Hey all,
I was wondering if any of you knew of volunteer organizations that help and work to build up local communities. I am interested in getting involved in one but am having a bit of a hard time finding them.
Any recommendations are much appreciated.

Notification Problem with a Game
On my home page, a message came up for a game, "This user was banned, see game for details." However, it's a "No in-game messaging, Anonymous players" game, so can't see the chatbox.
Not a problem as it would just mean we wouldn't details of who was banned - but the notification at the top of each page for that game won't disappear as the 'Global Notification' is still being marked as unread.
The url for admin's to look at: http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=35913

Donations
I didn't realise until today, but there is a donation link on the faq page... Trying to raise a little bit of capital (for whatever kestas chooses to spend it on)

I feel the enjoyment i have gotten from several years of playing diplomacy here is worth the investment.

F16 Versus M16
The eternal debate.
Which one would you choose?
I would go with F16, although I don't have enough parking space on my street, so maybe after all I will go with M16. What would YOU choose?

allemande is french for German person?
What's the etymology for that? It doesn't sound like it comes from the Latin "Germania"... It's not borrowed from German either.
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)

"Allemand" for "Germany" is from the name of a confederation called the "Allemanni" that lived in Alsace. This comes from "Alamanniz" which may have meant either "all-man" or "foreign man"
flashman (2274 D(G))

I thought macho was the word for all-man?
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)

"Alamanniz" is proto-Germanic.

Incidentally, 34 degrees C here right now and we have decorators in with oil paints being applied all over the place so we can't use air-con or fans (dust) and are breathing a highly suspicious mixture of polluted air + paint thinner. Can anyone explain to me the brighter side of this particular cloud?

Nice to hear that "our" teams did so well. I am gob-smacked that anyone would try to cheat in a comp like this, let alone some Canadians.

I am still sitting here waiting for the painters to leave (for today) and, yes, I have actually been reduced to watching paint dry. It is no longer just an apochryphal way to while away the hours... It has now become reality and I can confirm that it is excruciatingly dull.
