Interested in organising a game for folks interested in playing other big hitters. Not sure what the cut off should be, but would be good to get a mass of quality players interested and then we'll land on a general consensus if some aren't as big hitters as others.
If I may, I would vote for rulebook press. Some of us get a little busy and not having to talk during build/retreat phases is nice. A good compromise between gunboat and full I think
Hmm, I'm a maybe if it's rulebook and a turn phase of at least 2-days, having said that I'd suggest that a gentleman's agreement is made to ready retreats/disbands and builds asap.
Yeah, I'm on board with quick processing. I'd prefer not to have phases longer than 2 days if possible - I'm too impatient and I lose interest easily with longer phases.
Sorry, I'm on my phone and managed to miss half of the thread when I last replied. Wouldn't be keen for gunboat or public press. Map size doesn't bother me too much. Prefer anon.
Sounds good, but I can see issues with ready up, i.e., someone’s just late and would NMR if the move processed, but instead goes to the deadline and oriole get upset. Or someone just takes longer than others would like, or forgets. Too bad we can’t just set 24 hrs for retreats and builds.
I'm at risk of exemplifying the impatience I referenced (I promise it's mainly tongue-in-cheek), but what do we need to do to get this started? Or are we still trying to get more people (in which case this is a bump to top of the forum from... top of the forum)
I was hoping to get a few more players, but as the numbers seem to be tailing off perhaps now is the right time. I'll draw up a list of folks, get confirmations and we can kick things off.
Anyone seeing this wanting to play, jump in now. Your window is closing.
Here's who has said they're interested for 48 hour phases, anon, ready up, rulebook press. All these players are on at least 1800 vDip points as a reference:
I am not in for Rulebook Press (the entire point of asynchronous communication is that you *don't* have to synch up times, so arbitrarily blocking messages for up to 60% of gametime is actively sapping engagement for *literally no benefit*), but I will suck that up if you need exactly +1 for Known World or Haven since I know numbers can be awkward at those counts.
I'd looove to join, but it's not very feasible at the moment, and it might hinder game integrity.... I'll wait for a moment before committing to an answer just yet!
Yeah, I would join. I'm currently on a break from diplomacy, so I have the opposite situation to Coffee. :d It seems like a great game to get me out of my pause
Updated list (1800 vDip+ points - those who've said they're in).
If you think you meet the criteria and are keen, please post here. While I ALWAYS do poorly on Known World, it is the most balanced and we're only 1 player off.
I'll send an invite code when we have the numbers. Can I also suggest that we keep a similar criteria for replacement players if we have a CD eg maybe a Mod can replace a player meeting the criteria & already expressed an interest rather than anyone random stumbling into the game.

Not sure from their comment if they're in or not (1800 vDip points and over): jason4747?
Players interested with a vDip score below 1800 and expressed an interest. Thoughts on in or out?

Seeing I'm organsing and public press is really hard when you're not in the American timezone, public press won't be happening.
Can players who are in the game weigh in on the criteria of approx 1800 vDip points vs lowering it a little, particulalry on mouse's preference and Mercy no longer in.
Damn, was looking forward to another game with you Mercy, they don’t happen often enough!
- Love Known World - Fine if you need to lower the threshold - Like the idea of a Mod replacing any CD with a qualifying or close-to qualifying player that’s already expressed interest
- Keen for Known World - Happy to lower the threshold, especially if it's to admit experienced players. V-dip points are limited in determining player quality, and you probably have a good feel for who is a good player. - Mod replacements are a good idea - if it's still open for discussion I'd vote for full press over rulebook (and share my distaste for public)
There are a lot of super experienced players that just didn't win a game with huge stakes. The ones you've listed are amongst them. So I have no issue with that. I've been playing for just about 3 years, so I'm noob in comparison with some of them
Don't discount yourself Johny. I met Bradley Grace over at WDC. He's only being playing for 2 years and just won virtuals and only *just* missed out on playing the top board at WDC.
I started this account so I could join in games set up by my school, but I didn't realize that I needed to model my username after specific formatting, so now I'm stuck with a username that doesn't fit the guidelines of the setup. does anyone know how one could go about changing their username on here?
Here is the map. They’re trying to fill a fourth match: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1201263855062487120/1208887389854892122/Imperial_Diplomacy_-_Version_1.png?ex=65ee259d&is=65dbb09d&hm=41f342eeff473278464101b30bc129465f5da9450ac5087d085421f7adaa354c&
[Speed Europa variant] moving from Burgundy to Ruhr should not be possible
Hello,
As noticed by Tyran (user ID 2518) in the game "Wolf Pack v3" (game ID 58137) armies may move from Burgundy to Ruhr and vice versa (see the Map info tab of the variant's page) while the map doesn't say that. Maps on the external variant homepage also, so I suppose it is an error in the code, not the map.

Hey everybody. It was about time someone organised another cross platform Cold War tournament.
The tournament will be played wherever the players agree to play. Which means vDip will be hosting games. I have made a rule set on discord: https://discord.gg/kKnAuHN6kM - if you do not like discord I will communicate via e-mail. I will post updates here.
IMHO a really great new variant with many options, constantly fluctuating balances of power, both fleets and armies with power, sensible offboard movement that makes stalemates hard.
I've got some very good positions in a Europa Renovatio and a Colonial 1885 that I'd like to unload. Excellent opportunity for some shiny V points with no risk. PM me for details....
Going through an unexpectedly busy period at the moment and can't really pay full attention to all of my games. I don't want to keep spamming extend or pause requests so I was hoping someone could take a couple of gunboat games off my hands. Only solid positions, including one board top. DM if interested!
A country has taken the accounts of two other powers in our game and is now controlling three countries. How can we report this player “Akim” for Multiaccounting?
