The game Hello my Brothers 3

It was clear from the first year that 3- 5 players were working together. That ruins the live games. Russia, England, and France made moves no one would make in a game with unknowns.

Pre-Pause for US Storm?

So pretty much the whole northern US is getting whacked by a storm, and I know I'm not the only person who might be without power for a good long time. Perhaps those of us in the path should vote pause, with the understanding that the other players should also pause if we vanish for a couple of days.

Leisurely Playing the Game of Diplomacy

Perhaps it's just me, but do some people take this game way too seriously? Here I am, playing Diplomacy for fun, countlessly running into people, other players, that I can't help but to assume have a dictionary nearby whenever they play the game. Intimidation via vernacular, if you will. And to be honest, I find this concept incredibly humorous. Anybody else?

Pick up Italy in a locked 24 hr low-stakes WTA game?

gameID=46247

Italy is at 7 SCs but about to hit 5. The players in the game have been very dependable -- no other NMRs up to 1905. A good bet for a decent player who enjoys negotiation. The password is playfair.

This Time On Philosophy Weekly: "Will you be kind enough to justify your existence?"

The above quote is from my SECOND-favorite playwright of all-time (we ALL know who my favorite is) Mr. George Bernard Shaw, who was staunchly of the opinion that life SHOULD have a purpose, and that if it didn't...well, he didn't look kindly on that, but let's focus on the positive--IS there such a thing as "purpose/justifying your existence?" Is it granted naturally, or obtained? Can it be lost? WHAT IS IT? And if there IS no justification for existence...what THEN?

Anonymous games are evil - discuss

I consider FTF Diplomacy to be the purest. When playing FTF, you often know who are the players you are playing against, you know their history and how they play. This allows a more intricate diplomacy. By playing anonymous games on WebDiplomacy, we ignore the most fundamental side of FTF Diplomacy - history.

PPSC v WTA: A top 100 GR player fails to understand the controversy around 17 17 games

As so eloquently stated in a post yesterday, "PPSC is NOT a gentleman's game. PPSC isn't anything good."

Please elaborate. I promise a good faith attempt to try to understand why PPSC games are inherently evil.

In memory of charlesf

charlesf appeared on the webdip scene on December 10th of 2010. He had one bad game experience so came to the forum to both talk about how this site could be better and to get a better quality game going.

He was last seen on January 10th of 2011 when he had the audacity to leave his country in Civil Disorder in that game.

Diplomacy: Best approach?

I'd just like to discuss about how to approach in compromise and resolve through diplomacy. I'd like to know your guys opinions about what you think is the best form of diplomacy.

I'd also like to ask your guys opinions about what basis you guys form when creating an alliance. As in, do you guys form rules to be kept when you guys make an alliance?

One last game.

A dynamic game would be nice.

Serioussham (446 )
27 Jan 11 UTC

I was supposed to take a break a while back but kept saying one more game. So why not have one more game?
I am looking for players who have never played with me before and then preferably 6 other players who have never played with each other either, so there will be no baggage/expectations etc.
I am looking for:
People who don't really care about GR and people who play for the win.
Also 20 played games min (preferably not all live games) with no CDs, no exceptions.
Game Specs:
Pot negotiable, preferably 48hr phase, preferably anon. Hope to have the game start next week.

Please post your interest here, thanks!

I've never played you (I don't think) and would be up for it as long as the buyin was 25

or less so I have enough for the leagues.

I would be up for it. I've never played either of you before. I agree with Draug on the amount

sorry, I would have been interested, but I do not meet your criteria (I have finished 340 games but have 5 CDs).

gramilaj (100 )

I would like to play, buuuut I guess 1 CD is too much. :-P

Serioussham (446 )
29 Jan 11 UTC

Hmmm Gobba and Jamie I have played with both of you before but you are down on the potentials list because it looks like there is limited interest in this game :(.

@ Gobba and Gramilaj:
Were your CDs all in live games?

MKECharlie (2074 )
29 Jan 11 UTC

I'm in. I joined the site to play with people I know IRL, and so haven't played with very many of you. I'm not quite up to the 20 game mark, but have never gone CD (and wouldn't). Anon is fine with me, 48 hr turns is good too (nothing quicker, please), but I wouldn't play if it was PPSC, and I'd prefer the bet be not much more than 101

. (Much smaller is fine too.)

oops ive played 186 games but 6% resign of live games is way to much.

The Czech (40499 )
29 Jan 11 UTC

I'd like to play, but my CDs are 7. They were in live games or Internet went out. If you look at my stats you can determine if I'm worthy for your game. It is after al your game and you get to make the call.

Gobba (2209 )

I believe mine were due to network problems in the first month or so of my webdip career. But give any open spots to other who might appreciate it more.

If you're in need of a seventh person, i'm willing to do it. As long as the game doesn't start til about Wednesday so the last of my current exams are out of the way.

Oh, and my one CD was a live game where two blatant multis (who have since been banned) were playing.

@Serioussham You're going to have to PM me if this gets off the ground...I don't always check the forum often enough and this may slide off my radar otherwise.

I dont believe we have ever played together at least i dont recall any such instance.

I do have one CD but in case you need an extra- and if i were to be put on the game roster I will go with whatever people want for the setup.
