Cross-site advertisement: The Tournament Through Time
Just thought I'd put in a plug for the 2018 tournament that I'm running online over at the PlayDiplomacy forums. I know there are lots of variant players over here on vDip, so you might find one or more of these interesting. (Link will be in the response.)

Common Courtesy?
Over the past few weeks i've noticed that there is an awfully lot of NMR's and CDs happening. Many of these take place in a later stage of the game with no extended phase in place.

In-game messaging with multiple players without Global Chat
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if there is a way to send messages to multiple players without using the Global Chat. It would very practical for players that are in a 2+ people alliances as they don't need to rewrite everything again for each ally. Is there such a thing yet? If not, I hope a developper passes by and makes a note of this. Thanks!

I'll set it up in any case in 90 minutes (this time I'll remember), maybe we'll also get some spontaneous players.

Will all phases be 5 minutes tomorrow? I've never played a 7-person live game and can imagine it's going to be quite tough to fit in negotiations (especially in the beginning) with several players in 5 minutes..

Have read a bit through earlier comments in this thread and i assume the answer to be 'yes' ;-) thus, nvm.

I'm sorry to hear it didn't go through. How many players did you have in the end? Due to unforeseen circumstances i wasn't able to make it myself, unfortunately.

I'd be interested in a live Gunboat game, perhaps with one of the smaller variants, like 4-player Atlanic Colonies or 5-player Chromatic. 12:00 GMT on a Sunday is a smidgin late for me, but could be done.
abadu (1227 D)
24 Jul 17 UTC
Okay, I'll keep that in mind :) I don't mind playing gunboat either, at least there wouldn't be any panic with the negotiations.
Part of it could be the short phase length for full press. The board game gives a lot more than 5 minutes for negotiations, and you need it here as well.
Mercy (2131 D)
25 Jul 17 UTC
You need less time than in the board game because you can fill in orders more easily, you do not need to move to other rooms to be able to communicate with other players in private, and during communication you always have the map in front of you.
It is true, though, that 5 min/phase can feel a bit rushed. However this not the case for 10 min/phase.
Agreed. 10 minute phases would be a good compromise.

Since this is a site with lots of variants, I reckon the best bet would be to get the numbers first (perhaps in this forum 30 minutes before starting), then pick a variant to fit. For example, 3 players = Treaty of Verdun, 4 players = Atlantic Colonies, 5 players = Ancient Med etc...

I also agree that 10 minutes would be best for full press, 5 minutes for Gunboat.
abadu (1227 D)
26 Jul 17 UTC
Yeah, I was also thinking about the game length. Say you have Classic and 10 minutes phases. Gives you a maximum of 50 min / year and with 10+ years you can have a game that lasts over 8 hours. I realize it's not likely that there'll always be a retreat phase but even if every year gets done in an average of 30 mins, that'll be 5 hours for 10 years.

That being said, I have played f2f games that have lasted for 12 hours and longer so I don't have a problem
abadu (1227 D)
26 Jul 17 UTC
(that got cut off) ... I don't have a problem with long games as long as I can find a time that fits, but it's probably harder to gather people for longer games.

But yeah, maybe we should try smaller variants first since they also tend to end in fewer turns.
tantrumizer (1557 D)
26 Jul 17 UTC
That is true about the lengths. That would be too long for most people, but you're right about the smaller variants generally being quicker.
You can also have a "gentlemens' agreement" to ready up retreats and builds with no discussion, just like the board game and to pause at a certain time to be resumed at a later date and time.
abadu (1227 D)

Hmm, also just figured out that if there's some level of interest for variant live games, a good idea would be to use an external polling service (like Doodle for instance) to pick the best date (and maybe also vote for a variant etc.) since this forum isn't really suitable for that.

Builds and retreats are often for drink refills and potty breaks. :-)
That's why I play on a tablet and have a mini fridge in my den.

Public messages hidden from non-players
I noticed public messages in games are hidden from non-players, even for finished games. Does anyone know if this was a deliberate decision on vDip? On webDip these are visible to non-players, which is interesting for looking at the player dynamic or end of game commentary.

Hello! I saw a thread like this scrawled on the wall of a Guatemalan insane asylum deep in the jungle primeval. We start with a quote, and you then post the one quote that pops into your mind after you read that quote. The first word is FIRST.

“The key to Springfield has always been Elm Street. The Greeks knew it. The Carthaginians knew it. Now you know it.”
