1066 V3

do the Normans start with a fleet in CI?
Because it says nothing about that in the descriptions...do the Vikings have some fleet in the sea too?

Test group

There's a real issue with testers for the lab.

We are always short of a player, NMR etc. causing problems for testers.

I don't know how you feel but I think vDip's main strength is it's variants and we should promote the creation of them.

I propose making a testing group of players committed to taking part in these test games (maybe Oli can reward them with a badge or something) who would also specialise in discussing balance issues and studying variant theory

Can someone please explain how the "testing a variant" process is supposed to work?

We pretty much play the map to see if there are any errors with connected territories. Also it is a good way to check for balance, usually with gunboats and full press games.

I would love to get info the vdip testing scene. a friend of mine who taught me how to play diplomacy and I have been discussing balance issues regarding myriad maps on the site since we first found it, so I feel like I could be quite helpful!

I'd also like to add that testing etiquette should involve taking over any NMR slots as soon as possible so test games aren't affected.

I'll set up a page on the wiki

I am interested in this. Would it be a good idea to set two days as standard for full press games and one day for gunboat?

Synapse (814 )

I think that new variants definitely need to be tested with both full press and "fake-gunboat" in which players just play free-for-all to test balance

Just checking: drawing and left players

Hi all. In a game where 2 players have left and the remaining 3 players want to draw. Just checking that the left players (still on the board) don't get a share of the pot if the 3 of us draw. Or do we have to wait until we've taken all their SCs?

I have been trying awfully hard to get a anon WWIV game started. For my third try, I shall start a forum to get at least 25-30 people committed. Post here with your commitment, the game will be anonymous random country assignment, so it shouldnt matter if anyone sees your name, but if you want to remain a little more anon, just PM me

removing finished games?

Hi, sorry if this is a dumb question, but at my Home screen, it shows under My Games games that I have been defeated in. How do I remove these? Or officially leave a game if I am close to dying?

Thanks for helping a noob out!

Modern Diplomacy advise needed

I'm playing as Russia and was just betrayed by Ukraine. My forces are split between Scandinavia and Asia Minor/Middle East. Is my best move to move my forces in the Middle East back up to try to defend my center (which has one tank) or keep moving south into the Middle East against a weakened Turkey? I have 6 units in the area vs. 9 Ukraine, 5 Turkey and 4-5 potentially hostile Italian units.
