Anybody have any knowledge about this? I was thinking of joining but don't know many of the requirements. The marines page doesn't provide much. Just curious if anyone here took that path.

Suggested Feature
Larger maps make it possible that players face stalemate lines while other areas of the map remain dynamic. If these players have a large number of units (as is likely if stalemate lines have formed), it requires the repetitive entry of exactly the same orders. May I recommend that a button is created which allows you to 'Enter the same moves as last time'? There's no reason that one or two moves shouldn't then be modified afterwards.

ID#19708 looking for replacement. "The last war before we invade aliens"
Map is WWIV. I'm the Sichuan empire, with 24 supply centers, 19 units, no powerful enemies of consequence, and current leader. Progressing to around 27 centers soon, most probably. However, I have school soon so I need a replacement. See http://vdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=19708

hey oli and the mods I have a quick question.
My friends and I are thinking about doing a livestream in December when we all are finally together.
I was wondering if they could make their own accounts so we could all play a 4 player only map.
They won't play any other games but the ones we make for the stream and they won't play or join any of my personal games.
So basically its a free for all between 4 good friends. What could go possibly wrong?:)

I have 3 ideas for live games
1 :sound effects.
2: Team battles.
3:music.
(I will try to give examples for each if you let me have the first three replies.)

Ok sound effects,
So at the start of the game you would here a famous speech from a leader from your nation.example: england winston Churchill.

So if you move your forces and they never bounced or attack another faction you would hear tanks moving and airplanes flying high.

If you do attack somebody you would hear explosions and soldiers yelling their battle cries.

In the case of retreats you could hear the soldiers saying "fall back!"some are yelling in fear and there is still explosions.

If its build phase you would hear like a steel factory building machinery.

Finally if you conquered another faction or the map you would hear your soldiers yelling in celebration.

#2. Team battle
This option would be for any map that has four or more players.

It would let you have the options to; have even teams or not make as many teams as you want for the map,and then it would let the players choose which team they could be on.

Example I make a game for 8 people I activated the even team option so it would be 4v4.

While in game the teams would have what synapse idea of a alliance chat. Basically everybody on your team could talk to each other in one chat.

Now around the endgame part if your team is victorious the game will ask you to continue. This means it wants to know if you want to go back to the old diplomacy game type (free for all)

If the majority says yes its activated. If no or nobody puts an answer it just ends the game

# 3
This would be another option for the creator or the players of the game.

if you would like to add music sound tracks while your playing the game you could.

It would be personal. Your opponent's or your teammates wouldn't hear your music.

You could have a sound track for all four phases ,the final victory and, even your defeat.

So do you like my ideas for live games?

I think the ideas do sound cool, actually. However, I think it might be difficult to implement. Then again, I don't know anything about programming.

I just want the game to be even more interesting and competitive.

Plus with the teams option you could have large scale tournaments.

Think of it like the Olympics of diplomacy

EFTBSTHGK1337, I would talk to Oli about it. It seems interesting, but hard to implicate into the Vdiplomacy system. Usually if you have new ideas the best place to inform the Mods/Admins is the Mod forum. I do like the idea, but as Windir said too "Just listen to your own music while playing," is perhaps a good idea as well. When I play diplomacy I usually am watching a movie.

I have a couple of rules questions regarding variants.
With variants that say they do not allow for a draw, is that the case? Do those formats not have stalemate lines, or how do those games resolve if a stalemate is reached.

Is there a variant of Diplomacy that is designed to be a perpetual game? In other words, players are free to come and go as they please, but the motivation is to be the biggest player on the board, not to "win".

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.
