Do any of you play political rp minecraft or some other game?
I joined a political roleplay minecraft server recently where we build nations both physically in the game and on a custom map that looks similar to a diplomacy board. I've had a bit of fun making redstone farms and such to increase our economy, claim more land, and even make alliances with other nations. Does anyone else here have experience with minecraft political rp specifically or perhaps some other online multiplayer game?

How does game limit work?
Currently I can't join public games. It said, "Due to game limits you cannot join games."
However, when I click into "game limits" to check the details, it told me "=> No game limits apply".
Yet I still can't join games. I wonder how does this limit actually work, or is it a bug?

Variant Cataloging
I've been trying to keep track of variants made. Recently Stephen Agar came back on the scene and I am helping him amass variants over the past 20 years or so of his inactivity. I've made a google spreadsheet that contains the ones he's cataloged on his various websites and added a bunch that I knew of. I've also made a form to submit variants to be cataloged.

Phase Swap?
In the "Create a New Game" tab, when you select the "custom phase length" option, a new drop-down menu appears: "Time Until Phase Swap." It has options ranging from "No phase switch" to 6 hours. I can't find any documentation on what this does. Does anyone know? Does it make retreats and builds shorter than movement turns? Any help would be appreciated!

Bastard. Just screwed up my orders. Have to come up with a new plan.
Are you guys...playing a game through the forum?
JECE (1534 D)

Yes, but it's not a forum game. It's a tabletop game like standard Diplomacy.
But the tabletop is the internet? Is that correct?
drano019 (2710 D Mod)

Nowadays it's had to be adapted yes. Much like regular Dip. But I'm sure JECE, Amby, gopher, and Finkel have all played the original board back in the day as I have.

That is an odd opening gambit, mouse. I'm guessing from the moves you've taken the vacant Russian slot?

Eisenhower - we're playing through the forum, but I'm sure I'm not the only one following along with a physical board at home (it gets far too complicated far too quickly otherwise).
I've run out of airforce counters. Can someone lend me a few?
Sounds good mates, it seems like fun, but I'll leave you free to playing in this forum.
Battalion (2386 D)
19 Aug 22 UTC
How have you run out? It's a bit early to have that many air units at all, unless you've gambled on the old Peruvian Twist? I thought Hamilton proved that approach was fundamentally floored against anything but a French Gramophone Reduction!
JECE (1534 D)
19 Aug 22 UTC
Well you did attempt a French Gramophone Reduction with your Burgundian Gambit . . .

Why else would the uncouth Englishman have called me a bastard?
Wait a sec, who's calling you a bastard? Anyone hear Budapest Convention being broken????
One month and five days since the Budapest Convention was broken. Less than 48 hours until its stipulation under s. IX article XLIV comes into play, handing me the game by default. I like letting folks know how I'm going in Ankara Crescent.

I guess Egyptian Geneih it is.

Apologies Gopher but sub section 45b implies Bourse orders are not an appropriate means to counter my current Ankara Crescent winning position. But maybe kaner who has more experience moderating the Bourse conditions can weigh in and adjudicate on any alternate ruling.

Utter silence. Thought so! It's back to the drawing board for The Ambassador.

I guess that it's time to write a letter to the Swiss guy.

Dear Swiss guy,

Have you seen my kraken? I miss it dearly,

Sincerely,
Germany

Yours truly,
Italy
Dear confused Italy/Germany,

It is under the sofa where you left it. After four days it is starting to get whiffy. I'm sure we'd all appreciate it if you collected it and throw into the rubbish on the way out.

Sincerely yours,
England.

Amby is just trying to distract people from the Winning Thread while he is in the pole position.

Should one be looking for a missing Kraken, I might suggest a little bit off shore from Joppo in Phoenicia. I hear it may have fallen to pieces.

Skaven intelligence suggests that our kraken turned into a pegasus? The Prussian Secret Police find this theory to be a highly improbable. Perhaps we should be mistrustful of the Under-Empire. But the Regia Marina will investigate.

F Switzerland moves to Syria
JECE, sorry mate but my convoy of penguins from Antarctica using the World Diplomacy IX map (permissible under the Mawson Rule of 1912) into Syria bounces Switzerland. Maybe we should be communicating better to avoid future misunderstandings?

Skaven intelligence? I thought "military intelligence" was a contradiction in terms. Skaven assassins? Sure. But espionage requires a level of psychological balance and reliability that I do not associate with the meth(warpstone)-addled rodents of unusual size.
JECE (1534 D)
14 Oct 22 UTC
Hmm, good point. We can't trust you at all. It was sill to think that a kraken could collapse into the sea and then pop out again as a pegasus. That just doesn't make any sense at all.

If you have no luck in Joppo, my next suggestion would be Seattle.
Seattle is too soggy. Unless you have at least another fleet supporting the attack from Naples.
