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).

"You joining, fasces? And of course you can join, y2k."
I'll join if we're playing a variant with less then 40 supply centers.

My biggest problem with the big maps is that I misorders a lot. Its very hard to be motivated to finalize in a game when you have 10+ units and 0 chance of winning, whenever I play a map with too many supply centers I find myself missing a lot of orders and my RR suffers as a result.

One asshole at your service
How many are on Modern (the 10 player). It's my preferred map for this.

I'll bite on any variant that's 10 or less and isn't gigantic like Fasces said. If you can't get 10 people then Abstraction III is a particularly fun variant, if I remember rightly.
I don't want more than 10 players either so no worries there.
Krell and I have one core rule. The global press is for being a-holes but nothing is taken outside the game and the game itself is very serious, so keep the trash to fun in global, not anger in the private press.

Hey GF, been a while, where've you been?
I don't know, GF. Do you repent the ways of web dip and agree to be an a-hole in fun here at VDip? Will you tell the folks at web dip I don't want to ever come back and help me in the quest for financial justice, that is, getting my donations back? Will you admot that YouCan'tHamdleTheTruth about the mod abuse occurring over there?
Hey faaces, I saw you got banned too and, unfortunately, stripped of your mod powers over here. Sorry to hear it dude.
I've mostly been taking a break from games. I'm in one mod game over here that's been paused indefinitely, and one game on WebDip that will never end. Can't say I've started a new game since the fall.

And I am afraid I have to say no on both accounts, Draug. Being a mod is like taking the black (GoT reference), and one does not abandon the vows he makes infront of the old gods and the new

I just got banned, that was interesting. I'm actually confused over what exactly I was banned for.

"and, unfortunately, stripped of your mod powers over here. Sorry to hear it dude."
I resigned from my post as moderator over here in January, so I wasn't stripped but retired.

"I'm actually confused over what exactly I was banned for."
Actually nevermind, JMO has made it clear in a post on webdip (explanation here: http://webdiplomacy.net/forum.php?viewthread=1164529#1164529).

Meh, I'm not in total agreement with Smeck on the issue, and I think JMO has completely taken what I said to Draugnar in a PM out of context.

I don't play games on webdiplomacy anymore, so the only thing I'm going to miss is the occasional nice political thread, but without Krellin or Draug or Synapse the enjoyment of reading said discussions: Krellin sometimes says something insighful and his libtard comments almost always make me laugh, I love Synapse's views and discussions on free speech, and Draug was one of the few rational conservatives on the sight (you we're one of them as well goldfinger, buy I haven't see you post there in at least a year).

Without them the quality of the webdip forum will surely go down.

Anyway, whats done is done, end of rant

anyway, back on topic, since I'm not officially part of the banned community of webdip, I'm officially signing up for this game, even if its modern diplomacy.

Other mods, former and current, would be on a case by case basis with abge and fortknox always welcome (and CelticFox too).

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.

Is this metagaming?
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?

Can't Play?
Hey y'all, I started playing diplomacy online a few months back and bit off more than I could chew at the time, resulting in a negative NoCD and a NoNMR of 71.88%. As far as I can tell this means I can't play or even start any games. I think my record since then shows I'm actually more reliable. Is there anyway I can play here again?
