RE: Obama's Response to ISIS and the Refugees

There are 40,000 - 50,000 minority refugees, a majority of them Christian, fleeing for their lives from ISIS. And what is ISIS doing to these men, women and children. They are beheading the children and women and hanging the men. They are closing in these people.

Opinioniated favorite variants

Hello all! I'm not familiar with all these variants compared to what are on Webdiplomacy. I'm looking to play some games but I'm not sure which ones are really good and which ones are not so much fun. So what's popular variant wise?

Multiple Cancelings?

So... I was in a game of Rinacemento that had not yet started. Not enough people joined. So it canceled. And canceled. And canceled. And canceled. I have NINE messages saying it canceled, BUT, I was NOT refunded 9 times! Not to mention, it still shows up in my games... which is annoying.... I WANT MY REFUND!

Perpetual Diplomacy

Is there a variant of Diplomacy that is designed to be a perpetual game? In other words, players are free to come and go as they please, but the motivation is to be the biggest player on the board, not to "win".

Diplomacy on the Radio

I'm listening to an episode of the radio program "This American Life" about Diplomacy. Featuring the same guy who recently wrote the Diplomacy article on Grantland. Not sure if it's the current episode or a repeat, but I figured I'd mention it here for those interested. Should be available on podcast now or soon.

Oli, thank you for the color-blindness interface.

I have protonapia and this is awesome. That plus labeling the countries speaking global and the interactive map males it so much better and less confusing... Even on the phone (interactive doesn't let me interact but still shows what I ordered using the drop down).

New default Pot-Type WTA....

As the subject suggests.
To gather a bit more feedback about this issue I changed the default from PPSC to WTA and made a big announcement about this on the gamecreation-page.
This will last for the next few month and we will see if the games get better, worse, or if nobody cares.

The King is Dead - Spring 14

I'll be making another King is Dead game in the upcoming weeks, and I would like some input on what variant we should play, and who is interested in playing. Returning players may get preference on my discretion, but I want at least a few newbies.

Chaqa (1586 )
15 Apr 14 UTC

A refresher for those who have forgotten, or never knew:

The King is Dead is a special-rules game (SRG) which involves four different roles. There is a king (one player) who attempts to defeat the rebels against his rule, and the traitors in his midst. There are knights (who are loyal to the king), rebels (who are against the king), and traitor(s) (who are out for themselves, to become the new king).

The number of rebels is always equal to the number of knights + the king. So, if there are 3 knights, and the the king, there will be four rebels. There will be at least one traitor.

Victory Conditions
--------------------------------------------
King & his Knights: defeat all rebels and traitors
Rebels: defeat the king and the traitors (knights do not necessarily have to be dead)
Traitors: defeat everyone (including other traitors)

Additionally, in my version of King is Dead, all traitors will be informed of the true roles of all other players, including other traitors. Outside of the traitors, only the king's identity will be known to everyone. Rebels and knights (and traitors) must try to convince other players of their roles (or play them false, to make victory easier).

Chaqa (1586 )

If anyone has variant input, let me know. I'll warn you, we won't play:
- Europe 1939
- Classic
- Mate Against Mate
- Any variant with less than 7 players
- WW4

Miklagard (1011 )
16 Apr 14 UTC

This sounds interesting. I imagine the Dark Ages or Viking would be a good one for this.

Miklagard (1011 )
16 Apr 14 UTC

Viking Diplomacy seems like the better choice, since there are an even eight players, which would make the game quite balanced. For example, there could be the king and two knights, three rebels, and two traitors.

Sendric (2060 )

I'm very interested if there is still room. Celtic Britain might be an option as well if you are looking for an 8-player board.

Miklagard (1011 )
16 Apr 14 UTC

Celtic Britain wouldn't be a bad choice, but Viking Diplomacy would be very interesting with The King is Dead.

Sendric (2060 )
16 Apr 14 UTC

I like both. Just throwing out some options.

Chaqa (1586 )
16 Apr 14 UTC

Lots of people interested. I may make two different games. Right now I'm thinking Viking or First Crusade, Africa maybe, or possibly Colonial.

Chaqa (1586 )
16 Apr 14 UTC

Sengoku and Fantasy World are also on the radar.

Miklagard (1011 )
16 Apr 14 UTC

First Crusade would be an excellent choice as well.

That's 13 people. We'll have to split it into two games.

Chaqa (1586 )
18 Apr 14 UTC

Alright, so we're going to do two games. I'll play in both, I think, so I need everyone to let me know if they have a preference for one of the variants. Top two will get picked. Here are your options:

First Crusade (variantID=98)
Colonial Diplomacy (variantID=12)
Sengoku (variantID=27)
Africa (variantID=83)
Viking Diplomacy IV (variantID=63)

Please post or PM me your votes.

Chaqa (1586 )
18 Apr 14 UTC

My vote:
1. Colonial Diplomacy
2. First Crusade
3. Africa
4. Sengoku
5. Viking Diplomacy

Note: eventually, I would like to play all of these, but two games at any one time is enough.

Everyone has voted. Final votes are in.

Now, it's so close, but we will play Viking Diplomacy for sure. Colonial and Crusade are tied. I know I said top two, but with First Crusade being a very similar map to Viking, we're going to put that one off until the next round.

So the two maps will be Viking Diplomacy IV and Colonial Diplomacy.

Player list:

1. Chaqa
2. Halt
3. ccga4
4. ERAUfan97
5. tiger
6. Miklagard
7. Thegatso
8. Xildur
9. vinie15
10. Sendric
11. Joseph the Most Excellent
12. Grand Admiral Thrawn
13. JacktheGiantSlayer
14. DoubleCapitals

Viking is 8 player and Colonial is 7 player. That's 15. So I will be joining both games, since I'm putting the work in. I'll try to assign who is in which game based on how you voted.

Once everyone is in the game, vote pause until I get someone to assign roles.

Viking will have: 1 king, 2 knights, 3 rebels, 2 traitors
Colonial will have: 1 king, 2 knights, 3 rebels, 1 traitor

Chaqa (1586 )

Viking:
1. Chaqa
2. Halt
3. tiger
4. Thegatso

Colonial:
1. Chaqa
2. Sendric
3. vinie15

6. JackTheGiantSlayer
7. DoubleCapitals

Recently, I was playing an anon gunboat game. I submitted my orders in advance. Next time I connected, the deadline was 5 minutes away, and the player I was fighting with had not submitted orders yet: he was going NMR. Is taking advantage of the (likely) NMR ok, or is it considered metagaming?
