Strategy Question...
Is there ever a strategic reason to postpone a build? Instinctively, I say nay, but this game is so well conceived and elegantly thought out, there must be a reason that it's an option. Any of you seasoned generals have any notions?

It is proper etiquette to accept a draw if you are going to win?
For the sake of argument, lets say in a no-messaging game that all the other players have moved to draw and moved to traditional stalemate positions, but you still have a strong position to win with 10 scs and two weak neighbors.

The Complete Guide to 1v1 Battles: Part II. Germany v Italy.
The Germany v Italy Map has not been scientifically assessed, thus I am looking for play-testers. In particular, RoxArt and President Eden.
I shall present my hypothesis.

Apologies
My noble diplomacy players, I would just like to apologize for my failure my recent 4 games, my Internet decided to die, and so i was forced to CD from all of my games. I will most likely be leaving for the summer, so better sooner then later. I wish i could have finished off my games, but seeing how I only managed to get on at the library, I will not be able to finish them. Espcially the WWI and II games that may be totally messed up now. Anywho, I will see you all in the fall

I am currently in a game FOW with no ingame messaging at all. One country was defeated very early on, Austria. I can't understand how Italy is doing so well without any messaging of any type! Are there any mods who can take a look please?

How do I get in touch with the mods
I followed the link on the help page but just got an email saying "we're mods for Web Diplomacy, not VDiplomacy, sorry". So how do I report a suspected multiaccounter?

Team Choas Gunboat addition
As everyone knows, team games are rather popular, however something I have yet to see is a team gunboat, were your not allowed to stab people, but your not allowed to talk to them either. Lets make it more epic with a team chaos gunboat. Thoughts?

Wats a treaty game? I came up with an idea on webdiplomacy of declaring war alliance, etc and of course a predetermined teams is this the same?
Shep315 (1435 D)
30 May 11 UTC
Basically you can ally with whoever you want, but you must declare war 6 months before you attack, Ex: declare in spring 1901, attack in fall 1901
BenGuin (1529 D)
31 May 11 UTC
Ok

Example of not-really-acceptable treaty?


.......(Terms)

Disapproval Clause: If any signatory feels that the alliance is no longer beneficial to them, they may issue a declaration of Disapproval on the Global chat. The Declaration of Disapproval must be made at least 12 hours before the deadline of the turn, and on that turn the Declarer is allowed to make any moves required to prepare for war, including supported attacks, convoys and capturing supply centres of the signatory that the Disapproval is directed at. The reason for Disapproval must be given in the Declaration of Disapproval.

you can do anything a real country can in a treaty
ezpickins (1717 D)
01 Jun 11 UTC
and you have to get the other country to publicly agree
Gobbledydook (1083 D)
01 Jun 11 UTC
But why can't I agree to such a treaty...
Shep315 (1435 D)
02 Jun 11 UTC
because the Disapproval clause is pretty much the same thing as a war declaration, you might as well just declare war
Gobbledydook (1083 D)
03 Jun 11 UTC
But why can't we mutually agree to reduce the warning time for war?
A real country can violate a treaty whenever it wants. Just saying...
SacredDigits (978 D)
03 Jun 11 UTC
Typically, there's some warning before a real country violates a treaty to a degree that would be representable on a Diplomacy map.
Gobbledydook (1083 D)
03 Jun 11 UTC
But why can't we mutually agree to reduce the warning time for war?
SacredDigits (978 D)
03 Jun 11 UTC
Because it simulates things like obvious infrastructure plans and troop movements. Total surprise attack were rare even in 1901. Usually, there was some inkling. And why would you voluntarily handicap yourself that much?

Glitch?
I'm trying to start a game with a 20 point buy in, and I'm sure I'm entering it properly, but when I go to the game page, it says the buy in is 1. I've nuked and recreated 3 times now and it's the same every time. I guess I don't really mind playing for one point, but I think I might have trouble attracting an opponent for one point...

Africa variant? Pacific war?
I've never heard or seen an African variant. But there seems to be one for every other land area (Americas north, central, south, Asia, Australia, and of course the original Europe). Is this because the geography isn't so interesting (having a simple coastline, tho you could have impassable areas like the Sahara Desert), or just no one cares? :\
