Any One at FSU or who lives in Tallahassee?
I'm moving up there in less than two weeks to start college, and I'd love to start a diplomacy club, or just play ftf games with anyone from the site who lives in town.

Historical Dates Game
We played a game similar to this a while back and it was lots of fun. You name a date, and whoever guesses what historical event happened then gets to name the next date. So on and so forth. No internet searches please.

"Russia NOOO!!!"
This is the post game discussion thread for gameID=65556 . I was England, despite a good start (minus some early wonky mess up orders with my army that really didnt matter too much) I feel like I lost focus through half the battle and once france dropped out I was in an odd position. A strong juggernaught through most of the game. I was hoping and praying it would have crumbled earlier than it did and was just cringing as russia kept going west. Once his belly was popped it was over though.

OK, the mod email is filled with requests to unpause games. Here are some pointers to help us out in getting those games unpaused.

If you are playing for points... make sure its 101 or greater.
Too many Multis again... I'm not going to name names or point fingers since we can't but it's getting to the point where I am playing half the time with multis and losing an assload of points. They are getting even more clever and using a new "slave" account every few games. Watch out fellow fair players.

CONSERVATIVE MAN
Funny....the littel boy calls himself a "man",and yet so very often his posts are whiny, bitchy, little-boy posts asking for basic relationship advice. Since he knows mostly nothing about anything....should he have to change his name?


He is a dumbfuck, both poltiically and socially. How pathetic.....but I'm sure his Mommy is proud of him....<sigh...> (I hear she has a *firm grip* Isn't that right, eh? ConservativeMan???

The Compliment Thread
Given all the rage against various users, and bile that some members of the site like to throw around I thought it might be nice to have a thread were we can celebrate the good side of our community.

Which is to say pay the person above you a compliment.

Civil Discourse
I have always enjpyed civil discourse, where I can have a battle of philosophy, theology and history with someone while maintaining civil. With that in mind, I am thinking of going to a local mosque and asking if there is someone that would participate in an interfaith discussion. Are there others who enjoy this type of thing, or am I weird in this.

Can anyone critique my essay?
This is an essay for my English summer assignment. Note that I'm a sophomore in high school, so don't expect it to sound like an English major wrote it. Also, it's about a mentor of mine, dead or alive. I chose Jesus, and I hope that the atheists on here are unbiased enough to give a good review.

Thank you for your patience
I currently don't have mod status, and most of the mods are on vacations, so fortknox has been handling all the unpause requests himself.

Thank you for your patience while we sort this out. Remember, you can upause games yourself by all voting to Unpause ingame.

Can we program a semi-anon variant to decrease likelihood of multi and meta cheaters?
The variant will show who's playing but not what country he or she is playing. Then the players are able to spot metagamers and possibly multi cheaters right away.
Please give feedback on idea and feasibility.

Thank You, Geofram!
I just wanted to publicly recognize Geofram for sitting for me for an extended period of time in which I had no time to properly pursue my Diplomacy games. He stepped up when I didn't have anyone to ask and ensured my opponents had an opponent instead of a CD.

Why post this in the forum? He deserves the kudos, and anyone who thinks more highly of him for this is icing on the cake.

Hey, thanks Tiresias!

I just hope the outcomes of your games were acceptable. The draws weren't very small, and some of the press got heated, but I think I mopped the mess up!

Happy to have helped, would do again!

Krellin +1 (Did I just do that?)

But Geofram is a great guy and a good player. He had to draw Coston Cont early cause he was about to get real busy at work, but he had a new and interesting strategy that I would have loved to see if it turned out how he hoped.

Mscott's last message to me was basically: "I think we should draw, but if you want to go this route it will be painful and difficult."

I HATE stalemates, and that was my one chance to prove they could be broken, but as you said, I'm already on borrowed time and need to borrow more. Once I realised that my desire to see you eliminated was silly and likely to give mscott the win, I lost the heart to get him to stab you. (I would have made a play for the win, I just needed to convince him to take Tunis) =P

I'm happy to petition for a rewind in a month or two if you are Draug. =)

Sure. If mscott is as well, we can get a mod to set it up and give it a go or we could just run it on JDip.
Geofram (130 D(B))
12 Aug 11 UTC
Once he'd taken Moscow and gotten the units over there to hold it against a stab, the only matter left would be how and where you tried to convince me you'd throw the game. Knowing you'd already tricked me into getting you into the draw by pulling a Crazyter (sorry Ter, but its official) once, I'd never have fallen for it again.

So you chances to throw the game would have to be towards England, forcing me to support hold Marse or Tunis to keep him from winning. That's where my decision came in. Moscow would have been easy enough to take back if I did it in no more than two years time, but would I be able to get mscott to take out everything but Marse before I did so? I guess no one will know!

That was my plan though. Get mscott comfortable enough that you couldn't throw the game to me so he'd stab you for everything but Marse. Take Moscow, give him Marse.

Fake compliment thread.

sometimes I come on this site and I'm so disgusted by this site that I just want to stop coming to this site but then i keep coming to this site so the net result is this horrible snowball of coming to this all the while wanting less and less to come to this site and i cant stop coming to the site and motherfucking shit i love this site.

Noober question
So ... what's the point of Gunboat?

I thought the draw of Diplomacy was supposed to be the wheeling, dealing and cajoling. I don't understand the appeal of taking away messaging.

Downtime info
The database was down for ~1 hour 30 minutes. I've added 3 hours to games to compensate.
The downtime was due to an automatic mysql update script but no script to restart the mysql service, which I've now added in. Apologies for the inconvenience

Registration
It is impossible to register to this game since the switch to the dedicated server, the validation page just refreshes. 6 of our group is already registered, but we cannot (and will not) start a game without the seventh member. If it is a browser issue, IExplorer, Firefox and Chrome are displaying this error.

Hope this will get resolved soon, I'm eager to play with my friends.
