not Wilsonian...or is it?
I know I saw something about it in the forums a long time ago. What is the rules variant where you have to declare war before you can attack a player? I wanna say Wilsonian but I think that's gunboat. Can someone enlighten me?

Move tester
Hi guys, does anyone know an applet/website where I can test moves to see the outcome? I am uncertain about some situations in my current game and want to find out what the best move would be.

Thanks

New Variants in Development
Since some of my variants are played here, I wanted to let you all know I have another "one and a half" variants in development, the "one" being Spice Islands, (Southeast Asia and the adjacent Islands), and the "half" being East Indies (a combination of my existing Maharajah's variant with Spice Islands). Starting maps can be found at http://diplomiscellany.tripod.com/id23.html . I'd love to get comments, so I can make improvements before I finalize the maps.

So I was just thinking about an old forum post that I read (I believe on webdip) about a variant of Diplomacy that I thought would be extremely interesting. More to follow.

When you guys settle on seven players, phases lengths, a map, and what not, let me know and I'll draw the game for you and hold all the necessary details in a titanium safe.
Erudite (1274 D)
22 Oct 13 UTC
I think this will be interesting to observe and see how things develop! I would like to repeat GOD's question: will this be played until every SC is conquered by one party or until a prearranged VC? Could run pretty long if the latter...
I think we should set the victory condition as 34 centres so that the game doesn't suddenly end before each player fulfills his role.
RUFFHAUS 8 (2490 D)
22 Oct 13 UTC
The game does need to be set to 34 centers because that allows the Traitor to be able to accomplish his objectives without the system ending the game. Absent some change to the coding for this specific variant the game needs either a gentleman's agreement to play to the conditions each play is tasked with and/or a game monitor/admin/GM to enforce the special rules. Furthermore because this is a special rules game, no draw votes are allowed because this would pretty much smoke out who the rebels and traitors are. The game actually runs pretty fast once one nation has 18 SCs so that's not that big a concern.

The thing to keep in mind here is that this game has multiple victory condition scenarios, so winning is tied to the stated objectives, which should be the primary focus of the contest. In some ways this means that certain players have a higher potential points/ratings haul from victory, but that's not the point of playing this particular special rules game (or any game for that matter). So while the traitor can theoretically get a 34 SC solo out of this game, eliminating all his opposition for maximum points and rating, he also has the most difficult objective.

For what it's worth drano set up game 1 with 34 SCs as the victory conditions. Please remember no voting for draws either. I will manage the end game with the relevant players as appropriate. If the game situation allows for a draw vote in accordance witht he objectives, the surviving players will be notified. Or if you like upon elimination, a player's role can be announced to all.
Spartan22 (1883 D (B))
22 Oct 13 UTC
If everyone is good with 2 day phases, we should be good to go with seven people. Anyone opposed to classic or have another map suggestion? And RUFFHAUS, thank you for being the keeper of the games secrets. I'd say give it a day or so for people to voice their opinions on the phase length/map then we can set it up?

Yep, revealing the identity upon elimination is how the card game's system works and I think we can comfortably do the same here.
RUFFHAUS 8 (2490 D)
22 Oct 13 UTC
Thanks, Lukas, can you confirm this please, drano?

Spartan, I'll get game 2 drawn here shortly.
drano019 (2710 D Mod)
22 Oct 13 UTC
Lukas is absolutely correct. Only the king is known at the beginning, and as a player is eliminated, their persona is revealed.
RUFFHAUS 8 (2490 D)
22 Oct 13 UTC
Game 2 assignments are drawn. Let me know when you create a game, and I will PM the roles out to each player.

RUFFHAUS 8 (2490 D)

The setting should be full press, with VCs set to 34 SCs..
RUFFHAUS 8 (2490 D)
