Dropping out due to life getting too busy/complicated
Hi all, I am not sure how but I have seen it before. How do I drop out of all my games if I just do not have the time for it anymore? I would hate to ruin the ongoing games my fellow players are in and would like to have a way to drop out without a penalty. Would be greatly appreciated!! :)

Question on retreats
Hello all, I haven't found a satisfying answer on it on this page. So to clarify it ones and for all: If two units bounce into one territory, does this prevent a third unit to retreat into it in the upcoming retreat phase?

Thanks for the answer! I hope this thread helps others too.

Is the ModForum still being used? I'm in no hurry, but I posted this over two weeks ago:
Subject: Can't create new game with custom phase length

I'm trying to create a game with 42-hour phases, but keep getting this error: "The phase value is too large or small; it must be between 5 minutes and 10 days."
I was able to do this a few years ago without any problem: gameID=32997

Have you ever teach people to play Diplomacy?
My 8-year-old son knows that I play Diplomacy and sometimes even watches the situation progress in my games, but only today I registered him and explaine the rules of the game. He plays chess well, so I think there will be no problems with that.

Chess doesn't take that time with way more combinations. I think a tournament should be setup to move faster personally. People can play private matches at whatever speed they want. That being said, I'm happy for any Cold War tournament and am very happy AE has organized.
one man's psyche does play a role in the speed of submitting orders. I personally take it slow if im losing, but force myself to walk to my death in a completely lost position. A bit similar to my current game against bsiper, where i take it slow since im at a disadvantageous position, and would need a second opinion to future-me

offtopic, but chess can take a lot of time, especially correspondence chess. depending on time controls, games can last just as long as diplomacy games. even in face to face tournaments, matches are played out over days

i wish there were more CW players in general. often, people unfamiliar with the map play suboptimal moves, so i win relatively easily
^ That's me right there, a person unfamiliar with the map who will very likely play suboptimal moves. That's why I did not join the tourney although the map kinda looks fun.

Hope you guys won't mind me chiming in -
In press games I almost never ready my orders, unless I am 100% sure that there is nothing left to discuss;
In gunboat I seldom ready my orders because I like to write down preliminary orders and then reconsider my predictions on others' moves and revisit my own moves after a break. It feels like I will discover my potential mistakes just like how you can proof-read your own writing more effectively only after leaving it aside for a while.

@umble I think you missed my point. I was talking about what I think is the fun part of playing. Figuring out the best moves is the fun part. Rushing it just means you get less of the fun. Also, I'm not sure what you put into the words 'figure out,' but most players wouldn't figure out a good - let alone excellent - set of orders even if you gave them a week.

@mittag. True, but I'd think tournament players are a cut above or least should be. Again though, it's the retreats and builds that are head scratchers.

Insert meme of a person wasting away to a skeleton. I have a feeling it'll be well into September before this finals happens. My sneaking suspicion is the other side is hoping I'll die, and they'll win by default. I'm in excellent health though so hurry up and finish these games lol.

I just conceded my games to Mittag.

In this period I've devoted much time to the 'Nexus' Tournament. To cut it short, CW has taken a back seat. I kept forgetting about the games and I missed the two deadlines.

I fear it is one of those moment when one needs to take a break.

Best of luck for the finals @Mittag @Umble


PS: A special thanks to Mittag for his patience and his sportmanship.
After my first NMR, he agreed to restart despite his totally dominant position.

And so ends the Cold War tournament. Thanks to Mittag for a good game. Also thank you to Argentinean Empire for organizing wherever you might be.

Considering bsiper brought the Nexus crown to vDip before, I'm happy to take this crown back to Nexus and unite the two together :).
