Two questions:

Would it be possible to show the number of players needed next to each game on the New Games page?

Hello,

I´m on a vacation next week, so I´ll need a sitter then.

Time to start a new game in celebration of the diplomacy variant. To keep it simple, we'll ignore all the conventions that have occurred since 1991 with exception to the London 2009 convention, so I do especially like that one.
I'll start the game off with an army in Prague

This was something orginally made popular on WebDip. Let's try it out here. The rules are simple; each person posts a new word and the words posted before s/he, in order. For example, if I posted "Salutations", the next person to post would post "Salutations <insert word>" and so on.

As per blankflag's request, I'm asking people to step up their political debates here. Blankflag said that he will consider the move if this forum is more lively. Please, please, be more thoughtful and considerate. Please post more political debate.
In exchange, we can take back MeepMeep.

Somebody, give me ideas to live out my manhood before I get married...that is all.

Alright You liverwort loving cockatrices, I'm looking for a challenge. A WTA classic game for those brave enough to face this rugged seasoned professional.

So how about it, are ya lily livers up to it?
Only the best and brightest need apply. So if you think you have the balls for it, sit down and we'll wrangle out the timeframe and conditions.

If someone makes a game and states in the title that it's "for noobs" why are people with 400 and 500 , who have played that variant multiple times joining? Not going to name any names, but it happened recently and I don't understand it. Do these people just say "Well, this look like an easy way for me to get more points." Is there anything that can be done to stop it from happening? Maybe if there was a script that can tell if you've played that variant more than once in the past?

Last call for improvements. See post below.

“This special rule sends a country into civil disorder (CD) if it does not enter an order (NMR) and extend the phase so a replacement can be found. This works on all phases of a turn (diplomacy, retreat, build). Be careful, this might lead to locked games, if players leave and no replacement is found.”

I like the new system but is anyone else seeing problems? I've got a game listed that I never played..

Are some games excluded? I finished a 1v1 game and there were 23 phase changes, but right now the only phases I'm getting "credit" for are in my standard game.

Also, how many phases before I'm no longer a rookie?

Hi all. I want to introduce a new games-setting but I'm unsure about the implementation.
We have the most CDs over the weekend, because people do not log in that regularly on the weekend.

So Butterhead decided to launch an anniversary game to mark 3 years as a Diplo-dican. I realized that my second anniversary was on March 17, so I've decided to do the same. It's classic WTA, but with a 66% win condition (23SCs), 36 hr turns but early finalizing is encouraged, especially for retreats and build/destroy phases, and 90%+RR and at least 100 phases under your belt to play.

I would like to play a rather fast WWIV game, preferably with a 12-hour Phase but it could be more, like 16 hours for example, if players prefer.
Who would please be interested in playing such a game ?

Which variant is the new cover picture for vdip?

Just an idea!

BOSTON, Massachusetts USA Patriots Day bombings at the annual multi-nation Marathon finish line killed 2, 50 + some critical, some amputations
MULTIPLE Large US Cities on high alert

Seems like there's a tournament craze starting, or is it just me?

Tournament - discuss.

Who will grace me with their presence in my first ever vdip game?
Anon, full press, build anywhere 10 pts. Message me for password

Early this evening I played a game of Dutch Revolt with a few others and we drew before anyone was eliminated. My HoF rating went up 2, but if you click the gameID on my HoF page, it says no ones rating changed. Is there something wrong with the page, or should my rating have not changed? (I'm now #16 for reference)

gameID=12115

Do you have what it takes to play against the greats over at web diplomacy at their own variants? Feel ready for the strong diplomacy and sweet words followed by a Stab in the back? Well, now is your chance to practice! Join the sandgoose classic!

I know how there are plenty of apps out there, what are the odds a diplomacy app could be made? Thoughts?
