The End Of The World Diplomacy IX (LIVE)

So, in honor of the Mayan Apocalypse, I want to start a World Diplomacy IX live game on here. Is anyone interested, and what's a good time for you? I want to have it on the 21st, or the night before, spilling over into the early morning hours.

Taking over some Imperial Diplomacy II games?

After joining a few Imperial Diplomacy II games, I found out I didn't like the variant and I didn't have enough time for the games. I don't want to make the game unenjoyable for others, and I don't want to NMR, but I'm afraid I might have to if my life stays busy. If anyone wants to take over one or two Imperial Diplomacy games with all-right positions, please PM me and I'll tell you the details.

It seems to me that the 17 nation pairs should be predetermined to make sure that they are equitably distibuted. The pairing are far more important than the number of partners for anyone that wants to look at the game analytically.

The proximity of your partner makes a huge difference and gives tremendous advantages. In the present team game some pairs (e.g. United Kingdom+Song Empire) are simply a joke. This pair was not specifically selected, but was formed because these were the only two nations left to choose from. At least if the pairing were made beforehand the late joining players would only have last choice of a playable team. Also, it should be noted that in forming the current three man team, I selected Egypt (the so called sick man of WW4) *and* chose two non-adjacent partners. While Germany and Russia shared the benefites of a mutually safe border, Egypt had to sweat it out and bust ass to stay alive for most of the opening seasons. Furthermore as Egypt I did not attack the nations in between me and my partners even though they did. I gave Catholica and Turkey many years of alliance even though my teammates stabbed them. It was only Catholica's NMRs and CDs that united me with my team, and even then I tried (unsuccessfully) to include Turkey. The point is that while Germany and Russia are my preselected teammates, this relationship is really no different to the allaince between Manchuria+Japan and India+Thailand. If anything it's actually weaker, because wehen one of the nations (GERMANY) is a moron, you cannot stab him out of the game... The larger point is that we've had one game sample using a three man alliance, and there is absolutely no evidence to support that this imbalanced the game. Any perceived advantages enjoyed were clearly offset by initial auto-attacks. I think that you need to see that model used a few times before dismissing it out of hand.

Imperial Dip II(new map) suggestion

Wasnt sure where else to post this, but on the WWIV map, when submitting orders, it's been invaluable that when lands are noted at only initials even on the blown up map, that the initials are also in parantheses when you're submitting orders, it's very confusing right now in some select regions

suggestion in order to reduce misorders

I don't want to annoy you with a discussion about the issues from misorders.
Simply they usually happen. Expecially when you have to handle a large number of units and you're not familiar with the regions' names. It's not unusual to make mistakes with all those large map variants.

1066 V2.0 Test Games

As you may or may not know, some time ago, myself, butterhead, fasces, and gobbledook ran some test games on the 1066 map to help determine strategies for the map. These were rather helpful (to me at least) and I'm looking for some brave souls to help out on some more, since we have a new version of the map.
