Diplomacy
« on: 25 Feb 2010, 09:59 »
So hey who wants to play diplomacy again? phpdiplomacy.net appears to have turned into webdiplomacy.net and looks a little snazzier, so who is up for a game? Game is at http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=22520 and the password is 'snugglefist'.

If you are unfamiliar with the game, they have a good explanation of everything on the site. It gets compared to risk a lot because of the war and territories things, but it is different because you never get these ridiculous gargantuan armies rolling over entire continents in one turn, and more importantly, you explicitly assist other players, which is crucial to victory. It is a good time and hopefully we have enough people here who play who are interested.

Yeah whatever UK.

The new website is pretty slick. The home page is a nice, well designed thing which I muchly appreciate.

P.S. there is an anonymous five-minute-turn gunboat (no chat) game here that I would like to see one more player in so it can go ahead, if anyone else has an hour free on a Thursday afternoon. If you do join, don't tell me who you are as that is cheating in gunboat. I've never done a fast game or a gunboat game but I think it'd be fun.

If people are interested in another game, that is totally cool, because we can make as many games as we want!
More information: game turns last 24 hours or so, and you've got a private chat-box with each other player.
You guys can start a new game and hope six more people will join, or you can just wait for seven people to say 'I'm interested in a new game'. It is poor form to be in two games with the same people at the same time, so if you guys need an extra player, one of the people in the first game can join in.

Well, it's taken less and less time each year for people to time out on Diplomacy moves, I guess it only makes sense that they timed out after the first move this time.

No you don't actually, as long as you saved your moves it should take them.

The ready just means that you're ready for the turn to end and that you're not expecting any changes to you your plans. By clicking save it means that you'll wait till the turn is over (1 day) but your moves will still be taken. This is interesting if you're waiting for a message from someone to confirm or change your plans.

Disagree! Risk is fun, but it is also kind of stupid, what when you get escalating risk-card turns where it's a matter of if you can hold off long enough to cash in your set or not. Diplomacy is much more fun and much much more strategic.


P.S. Does anyone want to play a live game? I have played a couple of those where the turns are five minutes for non-talking diplomacy, ten minutes for traditional, talking diplomacy. It is basically like playing the game with people except you are alone at home on a saturday afternoon.

I played a five minute no-messages game last night, it got ridiculous towards the end. Perhaps it was because it stretched into the wee hours of the morning, but by the time I had about 15 units it was absolute chaos trying to plan and move all of them in a 5 minute span.

so i gave up on Diplomacy. Just didnt like the layout and really didn't understand it that well. One positive thing is that in playing this game i discovered Landgrab and i freakin love that game. It plays just like Risk but with a bunch of different maps.

This is what is happening to me. I was totally able to play when we started, but now I keep forgetting by the time I get home from work and then do some work around home.

This was really fun last time it came around on the forums and I would love to get in on a game. But I have finals week coming up and I do not need to be spending my time planning my moves like I did last time. So if we are still doing this in 2 weeks then I am totally in.
