DAIDE AI

Does anyone know how to get new AIs for DAIDE? I've only played against Albert and I'd like to get new ones but each time I get one it tells me its the wrong version. If anyone can help enable a fellow Diplo addict I'd appreciate it!

This Time On Philosophy Weekly: Free As a (Causally-Determined) Bird

Right, so "causality" is apparently a four-letter word with my Philosophy of Religion professor, as for him there is absolutely no hearing an argument agaisnt free will, the whole, weeks-long discussion was led by him and emhpasized not IF we can have free will but rather HOW we DO have free will, ie, is it God, science, a balance, and on...so I present it to you, the WebDip Philosophical Community--CAN we have free will, if so to what degree, and if not, why, and is there any point to life?

Anonymous messages in-game

An idea went to my mind: what would you think of the option to write anonymous messages in your games? Parallel and independent to your regular comments of course.
Discuss here if it pleases you.

Rhyming game

This variant of the game seems like it can be a lot of fun. I had the pleasure of seeing one unfold about a year ago. Since I havent been on this site in so long, I have no idea if this has become a common trait among different games on this site now.
The rules are exactly the same as a normal dip game, but with one exception.
if you want to say something, you have to make it rhyme.

Will you still be in DST then?
At this time of year countries switch, so this isn't very helpful.
Basically what I'm asking is when is that in GMT?

Ruisdael (1529 )

DST ends on the 7th so no. I don't know when that is for you, but some time in the early morning.

50% CD. Why is this still being played?

KingRishard (1153 )

I think everyone left should draw this game. Or something. It's really lost its importance now.

Arya8 (100 )

ashen_shugar (236 )
10 Nov 10 UTC

Well, I stuck up draw after the first 6 went into CD...!

KingRishard (1153 )
10 Nov 10 UTC

Well the others in the game might not know about this thread, and a few hitting draw doesn't convince all the remaining.

ashen_shugar (236 )
10 Nov 10 UTC

You're right, of course, but seriously... they shouldn't need to be told.

KingRishard (1153 )
10 Nov 10 UTC

Noobs? I'm not sure how to excuse this.

Ruisdael (1529 )
10 Nov 10 UTC

Need to be told what ashen? To auto draw because some people don't want to play? Just because some people aren't moving doesn't mean we should draw, after all this is basically just fast-forwarding the game to 2006 and the battles just got bigger, faster. I still want to play.

The_Ned (100 )
10 Nov 10 UTC

Did this game have importance before? I don't understand the meaning of KingRishard's comment.

Lando Calrissian (100 )
10 Nov 10 UTC

Its currently in progress so don't talk about it too much. With that being said, games with high CD percentage should probably be cancelled.

KingRishard (1153 )
10 Nov 10 UTC

Well, if there was a winner of this game, it just takes away from some of the value of that win. You didn't beat 16 other players, only the 9 or so that actually played. It's not like this game is a high stakes or anything. Just the value of a potential victory is depreciated.

KingRishard (1153 )
10 Nov 10 UTC

We're not discussing tactics or who's who, Lando. Just if the game should be completed due to the CDs.

ashen_shugar (236 )
10 Nov 10 UTC

With respect Ruisdael, it's hardly a game when a third of the players don't start. By all means, feel free to play on. Most would agree it's a pointless, meaningless, exercise.

With you there King R. If it weren't a gunboat, this would have been in public chat.

Ruisdael (1529 )
10 Nov 10 UTC

As long as no one metagames I'm fine to have the discussion, I trust we're all mature enough to handle that.

But who cares about how meaningful or "important" (??) the game is? Gunboat is a tactical game and everyone still in the game has a chance to make an impact on the scene, so why draw? Sure we didn't fully earn the number of centers we have now, but so what it's just a game: let's play.

The_Ned (100 )
10 Nov 10 UTC

With all due respect, still seems like a game to me. One could argue that every game is a pointless, meaningless exercise. The rules for the original board game allowed for play with 2-7 players. I enjoyed playing it no matter the number.

ashen_shugar (236 )
10 Nov 10 UTC

Well, the ned, we now only have 7 active players, so maybe we should have just played on the original map... :-)

The_Ned (100 )
10 Nov 10 UTC

Maybe. I like the orginal map better.

Ruisdael (1529 )
10 Nov 10 UTC

The original map is pretty amazing. To go off topic: Anyone played abstraction? It's not on webdip or even oli sadly but it's a pretty cool tweaking of the original. It's on DAIDE.

I might have to go draw soon if it gets too late. I have work in the morning.

KingRishard (1153 )
10 Nov 10 UTC

Perhaps we should end this game and setup a European version with the remaining 7?

KingRishard (1153 )
10 Nov 10 UTC

Not live right now of course, but maybe a longer phase game?

ashen_shugar (236 )
10 Nov 10 UTC

Really? Might have to cancel my draw then ;-)

Abstraction looks interesting, but would probably require a lot of work to get it going on here - I mean the behind the scenes code.

ashen_shugar (236 )
10 Nov 10 UTC

I'd be up for that King Rishard. At least we know that none of us CD, lol.

KingRishard (1153 )
10 Nov 10 UTC

I agree with Ruisdael and the lateness issue.

KingRishard (1153 )
10 Nov 10 UTC

Hahaha okay ashen. We'll setup a game and send the remaining people a password or something. Just PM me after the Gunboat.

The_Ned (100 )
10 Nov 10 UTC

Its getting too late for me to start another live game.

Ruisdael (1529 )
10 Nov 10 UTC

Grrr have to draw. I'd have to take a raincheck on that game King, I've got enough on my dip-plate.

@Ashen- is it difficult to add maps? I would have thought based on olidip's million maps it's not actually that hard to do, and they were just selective about which maps they allow on here.

Good game all, too bad it didn't end more excitingly.

KingRishard (1153 )
10 Nov 10 UTC

Agreed, good game for what was there. Goodnight everyone!

The_Ned (100 )
10 Nov 10 UTC

Night all.

ashen_shugar (236 )
10 Nov 10 UTC

I think it's fairly easy to add a map - Oli has done a partial tutorial for it. The problem is things like having multiple armies in one location (or the A/F from my brief read of Abstraction II). I expect that requires fiddling with the code behind the web interface.

Anyway, have a good night. GG to those that stayed.

Ruisdael (1529 )
10 Nov 10 UTC

I forgot about the F/A moves because DAIDE ignores them. But I think it would be important to include them considering how much "larger" the distances are. That would surely involve some tweaking but I think it's definitely a discussion worth having, maybe to see if a mod would volunteer to do the coding. (For which we would be forever grateful!!)
