So who here thinks they can handle the truth?
Then sign up here to play a full press non-anon 24 hour game of Ankara Crescent. Once I have six other suckers, I will create the game. Buy in of 164 OK?

Youngstown WWII
After some time of work, my new Youngstown variant is ready to be released. I would like to take this time to thank everyone who helped me make this a reality, especially Oli.

You can post comments about the game here.

In my humble opinion "Imperial Diplomacy II" would make a better template.

What makes it Youngstown? I'm not familiar wih that variant and the page doesn't describe it. It just says that it is ore WWII

Pfft. Rookie.
(that was simultaneously a joke and a reference to your thread)

I looked at that one before posting the question, and it calls itself "Youngstown with a twist" implying that there is some set of rules which defines standard youngstown, that I should already be aware of, before reading about the redux variant.

And yes, despite my thread claiming I'm no longer a "rookie" as far as the reliability rating, I'm still very much a rookie with the different variants.

Youngstown is mentioned very briefly in the Diplomacy Wikipedia article. This is the only map I could find quickly (Not particularly good, but it shows what the variant is at least):

Kk, post here immediately if there are any coloring problems.

@captainmeme, oh so its just a reference to the map, rather than a rules change?

Thanks!

ok 1st game playing as Japan.

Russia strikes me as a tad bit overpowered, having very easy expansion in the Middle East, Europe and China. Also, I find it odd Japan has 2 armies and 1 fleet rather than 2 fleets and 1 army in the Japan homeland. It also seems odd that Russia is allowed immediate access to the Sea of japan, while Japan is not.

This might be a tad biased of course, but I think Japan's unit placement cripples its early game initiative (was that intended?)
I think that I will change that

Woo Hoo! No longer a rookie!
Apparently 20 phases is the magic number to become a non rookie. That was really bothering me!

webdiplomacy.net: what is it?
I found a mysterious website called webdiplomacy.net. It looks like vdiplomacy and has a similar format, but it's not exactly the same. It has a very raucous forum, way more users, and has very few variants available. Anyone know what this is all about?

Ankara Crescent
Time to start a new game in celebration of the diplomacy variant. To keep it simple, we'll ignore all the conventions that have occurred since 1991 with exception to the London 2009 convention, so I do especially like that one.
I'll start the game off with an army in Prague

Word Chain
This was something orginally made popular on WebDip. Let's try it out here. The rules are simple; each person posts a new word and the words posted before s/he, in order. For example, if I posted "Salutations", the next person to post would post "Salutations <insert word>" and so on.

Alright You liverwort loving cockatrices, I'm looking for a challenge. A WTA classic game for those brave enough to face this rugged seasoned professional.

So how about it, are ya lily livers up to it?
Only the best and brightest need apply. So if you think you have the balls for it, sit down and we'll wrangle out the timeframe and conditions.

Diplomacy Etiquette
If someone makes a game and states in the title that it's "for noobs" why are people with 400 and 500 D, who have played that variant multiple times joining? Not going to name any names, but it happened recently and I don't understand it. Do these people just say "Well, this look like an easy way for me to get more points." Is there anything that can be done to stop it from happening? Maybe if there was a script that can tell if you've played that variant more than once in the past?

Feature clarification request: Special NMR-CD-phase-extend
“This special rule sends a country into civil disorder (CD) if it does not enter an order (NMR) and extend the phase so a replacement can be found. This works on all phases of a turn (diplomacy, retreat, build). Be careful, this might lead to locked games, if players leave and no replacement is found.”
