I'd like to get a new classic/full press/WTA game going. Game turns would be 36 hours and I'd want the bet size to be somewhere around 30-110, but am flexible. Anyone interested?
Whose Line Is It Anyway? Public press Diplomacy game
So I recently just had inspiration for a public press Diplomacy game based on the amazing show Whose Line Is It Anyway? and thought it would be worth trying.
everyone knows it's all about the live winner-take-all gunboat games on the standard map. how do ghost ratings work? is there some way of pulling stats out of the database for this analysis? i want LWTAGBCV ratings!
At most, how many subsets can you find of the set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13} such that any two intersect in exactly one element? What about |A| = 10? Show a proof along with the answer.
Gunboat is more true to board Diplomacy than press
In the Diplomacy rulebook, it is explicitly stated that no diplomacy or discussion may take place during what we call "retreats" and "builds" phases. Let's see what it means for legitimacy of press games.
WebDip Trials! This Time: "God Is Not Great"/"Religion Poisons Everything"--Y/N?
Forget IF God exists or not...supposing he did, would it be a good thing? Would it be, as Dante describes, an unparalleled Paradisio that makes a journey through Life, Hell, and everything else worth it? Or would it be the "Celestial North Korea" Hitchens spoke out against? Benevolent Father or Horrible Slave Master--God, you're on Web Dip Trial!
frustrating that people will not cancel and just start a new game when it is so unbalanced, especially without any communication abilities :/ guess some people like stats more than playing
Is there a way to mark people that you don't want to play with in the future? For me this would include anyone who won't cancel a screwed up game just because they have easy access to their supply centers, people who are abusive in chat, etc.
Just a personal blacklist, that's all. Glad I could be of service to you all. I was kinda sweating because I'm not a gunboater at all, but I figured that I had to pressure Italy for the draw, so it looks like I made the right moves ^-^
ghug: I think you are wrong. The game ended autumn 1903, which means the game will count. Quote from GR page: The Ghost-Rating list filters out games where the game ends before Autumn 1903. This is because these games cannot be won without CD, and before the cancel feature was introduced, people used to 7-way draw games that they wanted to cancel for whatever reason.
