Rules/etiquette question

Anon full press game. I think I know who another player is. Is it cheating to attack a third player with the trust I have in this person based on their moves in the current game and past reputation?

Existential question from GOD?...

So as a bit of joke, GOD asked in an unrelated thread "What is love?" It was meant to illicit a response allusive of a music lyric. I throw out the actual question with my added subtext of how do we label our personal experiences with collective titles. Am I the only person who questions whether the "emotions" or "feelings" I attaches basic collectively defined nouns to even resemble what the words "mean" to the collective humanity? So "What is love?" but also "What is human?"

This thread is for people to confess sins safely and anonymously.

My confession is that I usually pee in the pool. Saves time, and who wants to get out to pee? The pool deck is cold.

Classic Chaos?

I'm trying to start a game of Classic Chaos and have posted already on a new games thread, but I felt that to ever hope of reaching enough players, it needs more publicity. I had some people sign up but they've now left so if there aren't any takers this time, I'll take the hint and give up but please if anyone's interested, I really love to give this variant a try, it looks like such fun.

Games like vDiplomacy, but also TripleA?

I'm looking for a game that has vDiplomacy's simultaneous turns, asynchronous multiplayer, and ideally a light or in-browser UI, BUT also has a much more complex game system (not to say that Diplomacy is bad because it is simple, but rather that I'd like an alternative).

BENCHMARK GB TOURNAMENT

Hi all, I’d like to check if there's some interest for this 20-players Tournament idea.
In case we got a few people less or many people more, I could change within a few days the structure to adapt it to the new number, but the ideal number would be 20. More to follow.

Only if you're willing to play unranked, sorry buddy.

For the record I never plan on doing unranked again for these. But I hope everyone will play them as seriously as if they were; failure to do so will earn you many the opposite of good graces...

eliwhitney (937 )
20 Mar 15 UTC

Okay. If it changes to ranked, let me know.

eliwhitney (937 )
20 Mar 15 UTC

Okay, I am willing to play unranked. The glory of winning the tourney is better than a few points anyway.

Sorry GOD, but as someone who has only a few gunboats under their belt, I'm not quite willing to trash my rank by committing to 20 of them

If you don't like GOD ask for ranked
if you don't like Gold ask for unranked.

GOD (1791 )
22 Mar 15 UTC

@goldfinger, in my opinion GBs are quite much normal games, except you can't coordinate moves with allies as good as in a normal game. But as in full press, one always has to see the alliances unfolding on the rest of the board and adapt your wars to them.

goldfinger0303 (2136 )

GOD - I'm not saying they're not normal. I'm just saying I'm not good at them :)

Certainly not good enough to keep up my 67% W/D ratio haha

i'd really rather play ranked

Alright Gold, you're out. Don't worry I'm sure your W/D ratio can keep you company. Rest of us are gonna play some Dip.

Actually, why not just play all 20 at the same time? Makes it all finish at the same time, which is nicer...

that's a lot, i like the 10 active games setup

Valis2501 (985 )

I'm with CS but, again, I was willing to make concessions for my friends.
GOD says his RR won't let him play 20.

y2kjbk (1512 )
23 Mar 15 UTC

What RR would allow you to play 10 but not 20?

CSteinhardt (1036 )
23 Mar 15 UTC

I don't know exactly how RR works, but apparently it credited me with a missed phase because I ordered an all-hold phase? Strange...

Valis2501 (985 )
23 Mar 15 UTC

I figured it's the word of GOD who am I to judge?
But I don't know how that's possible either
Maybe he was speaking figuratively in that with that many he'd worry about NMR'ing

Mapu (2086 )

When GOD is busy, he NMRs. And he's busy at least a couple of times a game.

Country assignment

I do not know how many of you played on the "diplomacy judges" of old...

But I was wondering if someone might be interested in introducing the semi-random country assignment that they used, and whether it's doable from the point of view of the code.

"Draw" games?

How to end a game in a multi-player draw? Is it possible on this site? If so, where is it documented. Is there a way to grant "proxy" to another player for any period of time? Where would that be documented? Is that enough questions for one post?
