WorldDipCon and such

Does anyone know where every year's WorldDipCon is held? Is it always at the same place or is there a rotation?

Plus, are there any kind of DipCon held somewhere in Asia? Because from what I know and iirc, ManorCon and MidCon are held (mostly) in the UK ...

Kaner, that variant looks brilliant...adds a whole new dimension to diplomacy (pun totally intended) :)

Oli will add it to the site in a few weeks, but I thought a taste of what's to come might be appreciated by the community.

Did i read that it is 36 hour phases?

kaner406 (2103 )
23 Jul 13 UTC

yes - quick ready's will be expected, but from experience 24 hour phases are too short for people to remember to check into the lab, and 48 hours are too long, and the game drags on for precisely the same reason.

Kaner, have you considered a Mirrored Diplomacy.

O_o
Looks pretty cool - at the moment I am quickly running out of time until later this year. Perhaps you might be interested in developing this?

Anyone ever played Root Z?
http://www.playdiplomacy.com/forum/download/file.php?id=17272
Personally, I think it's a bit more interesting than a simple mirrored map.

cypeg (2619 )

very interesting map there King

Wow, both of those maps are really cool, the extent of Diplomacy on the internet continues to astound me.

Can someone tell Spock it's his move?!

I really like the Root Z map, that would be a great one to get here. Like Classic and Modern, it's one of the few maps that has both great land and sea play.

kaner406 (2103 )
23 Jul 13 UTC

is that a 14 player map?

LakersFan (1373 )
24 Jul 13 UTC

It looks like it is, given the different colors of each position. That looks like it would be really fun.

Dr. Recommended (1660 )
24 Jul 13 UTC

That looks awesome. Who can make that happen? Because I sure can't, but I would love to play it.

cypeg, in the mirrored variant are there any special rules or is it just a case of England starting with 3 units in the northwest and 3 in the northeast, while Russia has 8 in the center?

King Atom (1186 )
24 Jul 13 UTC

Kaner, it is supposed to be 14 players, although the idea is that Russia1 and Russia2 would be on a team (so it might as well just be a 7 player map).Though, obviously, you could set it up however you want; I think it would be more interesting to have 14 individual players who could manage their allies however they wanted.

And I wasn't asking for it to be added to the site, but if someone wants to take on that project, I'm not going to argue.

cypeg (2619 )
24 Jul 13 UTC

@DrRecommended
I have no idea. The "mirrorred diplomacy" was an idea it just came to me when I saw kaner;s plan.
Perhaps I shall try and test my variant-making ablities.
Do you think Russia a and be may work together and create an advantage?

G-Man (2466 )
24 Jul 13 UTC

+1 on the 14 individual players for Root Z.

@cypeg, I can see lots of interesting possibilities, both for 7 player and 14 player variations, and certainly united Russia is one of them. Turkey as well has the same united force dynamic. I know nothing about developing variants, but this one doesn't seem like it would be too difficult. It would be very interesting to play-test it to see how it works.

Cross-gaming on this site

It is against the rules but it's hard to prove. It's also rampant, ruins what could be good games, and is pretty much the baseline here. Perhaps more games should be anon. Regardless, I've had my fill of going up against it.

I need to step away...

Over the last couple of months, I have slowly been drifting away from Diplomacy. What used to be the excitement of coming online to see what has happened, has began do fade out. I realized that I have stopped thinking about the game with my head. That is why I must (temporarily) leave the game behind.

Anyone happy to play against my 11 year old son?

Thinking about a EvT game, just so he can get use to the movement first. It will be on my account, probably a 2 day turnaround. If someone else has son or daughter who would also like to learn, then we could pitch them against each other. Let me know and I'll set something up.

Forum FAQ ;) or FAP

Over the year we exchanged ideas and raised problems in some interesting topics i.e. the default setting of Viking and WW4, improving the site, etc. I think it will be good to gather these links and have them either in the Help or some kind of a permanent forum post called FAProblems.

that way all this knowledge will not be lost in the wilderness. Plus, these are problems and puzzles that will frequently arise as more and more people encounter them.

Anyone up for a Known World 901 15x15 battle?

I've been wanting to play each power in this variant since I converted it to php, but mostly I have only played several different powers. The idea is simple: 15 games, 15 players, in each game you take control of a different power. Each game will be semi-anon (sign up below), 1 1/2 day phases, WTA, gunboat (this will dramatically cut down on the time commitment to messaging). So who's up for it?

Brainstorming about the extend-vote

What's your thoughts about the current state of this feature?

The idea of the extend is meant to prevent NRMs and spoil the game. Using this as a diplomatic tool is not an option. That's why the mods usually extend games on request. The 3/4-majority is just introduced, so a few minor powers couldn't abuse the system to take a game on hostage indefinitely (and cause more work for the mods again).
