Why are they always 5 minute phases, never 10? 10 minutes is so much better, actually gives you time to think, or get up for a bathroom break, if and when necessary. Not to mention, agree to finalise, and it's just as fast as a 5 minute game.
what do you all think of an alliance between italy, france and austria?? austria and italy probably has to face a juggernaut and france has to face germany...
In classic Diplomacy, I am incapable of getting anything going with Russia. England always comes in from the north, Turkey from the south, and Austria and Germany usually aren't too friendly. Any ideas as to how to survive as Russia?
I thought so, Draugnar, but i went into their profiles and there's no indication of that. I don't get it, so many wrong moves all over the map, and then suddenly they all disappear... However, winning with 5 centers speaks by itself about the game.
It's possible they got server-raped and no one else did. Or some other shenanigans.
That is fucking hilarious, though. It is stupid, but you should be happy to be able to go back and say "Well, this one time, I scared all of Europe so shitless they ALL entered CD at the same time!"
they all didnt put in orders for a certain amount of turns which causes the GameMaster to kick them from the game and leave the country without an owner. In this case 3/4 of the remaining players went CD which means you win.
On the first point powers do support each other in Gunboat and it is not evidence of cheating; on the second point, however, if it weighs the same as a duck...
It once happened to me that I joined a live game (5 minute phase), but it was programmed to start many hours later (like a day later or something like that). As a result, I had to borrow a car, and drove home very fast, entered my house leaving the front door and the car open and reached just in time to play the game. I was the only player who attended the game, and obtained a win for that. http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=35803
I'm considering joining some games where players have left. That way I might practice moves in cornered situations and also shake up the game a bit, making it more interesting – I think. Is this appreciated by the others players that have been abandoned by someone CDing, or will I get accused of massaging my rating by aiming at a cheap survive?
We are meeting at 10:00 this Sunday at Dice Dojo. That is at 5550 Broadway on the North side of Chicago. A couple of players had to drop out. Anyone interested, please post here.

I think it would be useful to have an additional chat tab where your own country is listed, in which you can talk to yourself. Not only would it introduce a new dimension to the game for schizophrenics, you would also be able to take notes about the game and remind yourself to do things.
