On the Proper Usage of Fleets

A question came up in another thread about how fleets should best be deployed. Should they always stay in the ocean? Are they useful in coastal territories? How many fleets should one have? Etc.. Share your thoughts within.

sitter needed

I'll be off the grid Friday - Tuesday, can anyone help me out? I'm in two games, both as Turkey. I'm not stomping in either of them but I still have a role to play in the game arc.

Click Help, then Rulebook, then Contacting a mod/admin

"Falsely accusing someone of being a multi-accounter/meta-gaming to rally others against them in a game, or claiming that your orders didn't come out the way you entered them to cover up your motives, means mods/admins spend time looking for cheaters/bugs which were made up.

All accusations against other players must be made directly to the mod/admin team directly as specified below, in private"

"Email the moderators at [email protected], not their personal addresses."

@ sirKristof:

1. Anything like this should be emailed to the mods.

2. DO NOT POST CHEATING ACCUSATIONS ON THE FORUM!!!! HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES!?!?!? DO. NOT. POST. CHEATING. ACCUSATIONS. ON. THE. FORUM!!!

its not so much an accusation, i just want a check!! it might be fine but i have no idea. i will email it then but this is the first time i have done this, in in answer to "how many fucking times" its 1. email addresses would have been more helpful that getting annoyed, seems like your in need of a serious chill pill dude

fortknox (2059 )

I agree with Kristof, Jamie. Chill pill... chillax.

99% of the time, these accusations are from new players. Getting up in there face about them not reading the past 3 years of forum posts isn't going to help the community grow.

If you don't have a chill pill, take one of those chill strips. Put it on your tongue, let it dissolve. . . chilllll

And to the newbie's defense, it's not like a prominently displayed thing. I couldn't figure out how to contact a mod the only time I needed it, and asking on the forum helped me out.

Yellowjacket (835 )

lol actually I just looked for it again and even knowing roughly where it was it was hard to find. I've mentioned before, a "Contact moderator info" link is needed from the help tab root imo, as this is the most frequently recurring forum question.

Damn Yellowjacket, how long does someone have to be here to not be a newbie to you? I would think 3+ years would suffice. ;)

The most aesthetically pleasing sight on a diplomacy board.

Dear Occupy Wall Street Protestors:

Get a job or, failing that, get a LIFE.
Promotion of Power and Self-Interest are the motivating factors in human decision-making, and have been since we made the first fires and sharpened the first spears. Yo're not going to override human nature, you're just making asses of yourselves...set REALISTIC goals or set yourself to the task of misery (if its the latter, enjoy...I know I will.)

Make Your Bid for webDip F2F 2012!

The Boston F2F was so amazing, I really want it to happen again.
I think the best way is for interested people to make bids (like the Olympics, but less corruption) for Event Coordinator (EC) and Tournament Director (TD). Please take your bids seriously. As Crazyter and I can tell you, this is an immense undertaking. See inside for more details.

Interested in a game?

So I just found out an old friend also plays Diplomacy and I've introduced him to the site. We've decided a live game on Thursday probably around 11am est would work best for his first game here, so I'm trying to find quality players who won't nmr. I haven't decided on specifics so far except for day and time so input is welcomed. If interested send me a pm or post below.

When they say, "Throughout the pants there are multiple hit marks, stains, and tears," do they mean tears like parts that were ripped or tears like crying? I prefer the latter explanation.

War on Terror

I had a professor today make the claim that the US let Osama Bin Laden and other Al Qaeda leaders flee into Pakistan from Afghanistan in order to enable the "War on Terror". Thoughts on that?

hilarity of the day

My little sister, 16, who I've always found to be a sharp young woman, mentioned today that she does not really know which months go in which order, something that to me seems should be a given part of any education. When I asked her, "Well, what the heck were they teaching you in 2nd grade?" she giggled and replied, "Jesus."

Good thing those private schools have their priorities straight, eh?

For all you religious types out there...

Question: is it more sinful to get a gay divorce than it is to get gay married? I mean, say you get gay married, BAM! You're going to hell for sure, right? But then you realize the error of your ways, and decide you want a gay divorce to get back into God's graces... but divorce is a sin too!

So is it better at that point to just stay gay married? Or is the the flames no matter what? I'm so confused...

Russia-US Rail Link

The BBC have released this article/video ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-15387714 ) detailing outlines for a Russian plan to link Russia with the US by an underground train tunnel link across the Bering Strait. Despite the cost, it sounds amazing! What do the rest of you think?

Steven Pinker on A History Of Violence

Since this forum seems to lack in optimism, trust in institutions like government control over violence, courts and modern society in general, this rather long video by professor Pinker seems like a good thing to post here. Anarchists, watch out!

An interesting little "bug" that could affect GR...

So, this game (gameID=64994) was drawn in the last half hour (around 9:45am), yet the time stamp says it ended at 5:30pm Eastern last night.

If this had been the first, instead of the 24th, this game could have been included in the previous month's GR. Something seems amiss there.

Okay guys it will be maybe one or two more times that I get on till the beginning of December. Stratagos has volunteered to sit my two games, so thank you. I will not be a mod during this time, obviously. Good luck to everyone and have fun in the interim.
