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.
Problem is, theres always CDs and people who don't finalize. So a 10 minute game you will occasionally have to wait 20 minutes for a retreat/build for someone to go into CD. Not so fun.
well, in full press, 5 isn't enough, is my point. or maybe I just suck at time management? in ftf tournaments, they have 15 minute turns (with the equivalent of finalising). maybe 10 is too long for an online live game, though. would it be possible for something in-between to be implimented?
@onar, @djbent, and @spyman i agree completely, i always make bad decisions in 5min phase games because it goes to fast for me to think through my moves or even make all my moves for that matter. 10min phases is the best for live games provided people finalize when possible. i would love to play a game like that
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'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.
Looking for a 16 friends to play a world map variant.
Thucy, hellalt, Xapi, fortknox, President Eden, abgemacht, figlesquidge, peterwiggin, djbent, jbalcorn, others who have played me and would like to join in? Small pot, non-anon, WTA?
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.
