Understated Ur-Drakon Callie Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 It looks as though we couldn't get seven players. Anyone up for a game of the five-player Anicent Mediterranean variant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotghroth Rhapsody BJ Back From the Beyond Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 *bump* Would there be any interest in trying the Haven variant over at vDip? The game requires 19 players, so we'd have to make it a public game to get enough people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 Here you will find a new game, slated to start Sunday night. You can consider it a board transfer celebration, or just another game. The password is ubb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 Okay, that's a bust.

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 can't you set it so that the game will still start even with less than a full complement of players. i mean there are rules in the book for how to do that even Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Honestly, the 30 minute start time didn't help. It was only sheer happenstance I stumbled upon it with only ten minutes left on the clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Lillith: You can't with that site, but there is one that does. I can also chose a variant with fewer players. Nioca: I anticipated getting more Refugi on board, and put it up here as more of an afterthought. I won't make that mistake again.

Rotghroth Rhapsody BJ Back From the Beyond Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Well, since there's still some interest in this, how about a variant? http://vdiplomacy.ne...hp?gameID=12144 Password is "turtles". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The game Earles posted isn't a live game; it's got an 36-hour phase. EDIT: ...Apparently, I think a day lasts 6 hours. *facepalm* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotghroth Rhapsody BJ Back From the Beyond Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The map is a pretty recent one, yeah. I think it was released a few months ago. There are now five people in the game, and it's a six player game. Just one seat left to fill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I joined even though I've lost every game I've played on this map. Well I've lost two and I'm losing one right now with no hope of survival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Mosquito---Slayer Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I have two remarkably stupid questions:- 1. What does the 36 hour phase actually mean? 2.Once I've given the commands I can see two buttons, save and ready, I'm guessing the save is the way to finalise and order whatever I commanded, but what does the ready button do? EDIT: also, out of the bottom five buttons, what does extend do?, extend the game? EDIT again: found out the second question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody BJ Back From the Beyond Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The 36 hour phase length just means that everyone has 36 hours to enter their orders before the game proceeds to the next turn. However, if everyone hits the Ready button, that means that everyone has entered the orders they want and the game will proceed to the next turn early. The Draw, Pause, Cancel, Extend, and Concede buttons let players vote to do certain things. If enough players vote, something will happen. If all the players vote Extend, then 12 hours (I think?) are added to the current phase. This is useful if one of the players knows they won't be able to get their orders in on time, they can request an Extend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Extend is 4 days. It's great when players are away due to exams or holidays. It works better than pause and waiting to get everyone to unpause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall BainIhrno Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Looks like I'm too late for this game, but could I get in if you (or someone else) does another? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody BJ Back From the Beyond Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Looks like I'm too late for this game, but could I get in if you (or someone else) does another? Do you mean a general game of Diplomacy, or that map in particular? I could set up another game. There's nothing that says we can't have two running at the same time.

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 You can't move two of your units into the same space ? *covers his head in shame * nope! deliberately causing a standoff with your own units is actually a good strategy sometimes, when you need to defend three territories with two units Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 In this case, though, I suspect it was unintentional.

Rotghroth Rhapsody BJ Back From the Beyond Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I probably should have brought this up earlier.

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 It might be worth taking over Nioca if you're new... it's a strong position. Alternatively, perhaps we could make a new, classic game to teach? Everyone would agree to go easy on the new guys? Edit: I've gone ahead and made one with the most basic settings possible. I encourage anyone trying to get their legs under them to join, and chose a country like Turkey, England, or France. Experienced players are also welcome, but should go with a more difficult country (I chose Italy) and go easy on the new guys for the first two years. Please, don't join if you don't intend to see it through. I dropped out of the last one, and I intend to make it up to the community. http://vdiplomacy.ne...hp?gameID=12402 Password: skribbane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 There are a fair number of correlations to Risk, but there are some pretty fundamental differences that can trip you up. I encourage you to check out http://webdiplomacy.net/intro.php. Wikibooks takes it a bit farther, and if you want to get really analytical about it, you can read the original official rules here. If, after all that, you're not thoroughly overwhelmed, you can brush up on strategy at The Diplomatic Pouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
