07 Sep 16 UTC Spring, 901: (Dr. Recommended ): The Doctor is in. Looking forward to this :)
07 Sep 16 UTC Spring, 901: (G-Man): Excellent! I didn't realize there is a 15-game Known World tournament launching here (where everyone's playing each country once). If I'd known, I would have held off and gone with a different variant. So, I'm glad to see you signing up even though you're playing there (and I hope others will as well, as some of our regulars are in that match). I did PM the three backups there to give them a chance to practice and gain experience here (and ScubaSteve's a semi-regular in this series anyway).
07 Sep 16 UTC Spring, 901: (Dr. Recommended ): No worries, I love this variant and the tournament is strictly gunboat.
07 Sep 16 UTC Spring, 901: (Strider): and WTA :-P
07 Sep 16 UTC Spring, 901: (Dr. Recommended ): Yes, so I can take more of your points ;)
07 Sep 16 UTC Spring, 901: (tassa): you cannot take from him what is not his. I lay hereby claim on all points.
08 Sep 16 UTC Spring, 901: (Titus): wow that filled up quickly, unlike my dance card.
08 Sep 16 UTC Spring, 901: (Jonnikhan): Greetings and salutations to All!
09 Sep 16 UTC Spring, 901: (Strider): sorry I'm dropping out. Who needs to know?
09 Sep 16 UTC Spring, 901: (Dr. Recommended ): Your conscience.
09 Sep 16 UTC Spring, 901: (G-Man): If you're dropping out, please do so now, before the game starts -- thanks!
09 Sep 16 UTC Spring, 901: (bronzewolf22): First cloak match, happy to have been invited.
09 Sep 16 UTC Spring, 901: (Samj): I'm a cloak virgin as well... Anything special about ?
09 Sep 16 UTC Spring, 901: (Samj): Be gentle...
09 Sep 16 UTC Spring, 901: Greetings!
09 Sep 16 UTC Spring, 901: In the Cloak & Dagger series, we play a different variant every time out, only returning to past variants once in a blue mooon (we've only played Fantasy World, Modern II, and now Known World 901 twice). Players from the most recent games always get 1st crack at the next game, then (active) players from older games in the series, and then (active) players on the vDip Hall of Fame list before I begin inviting currently active players -- although I invited some reserve players from the Known World tournament for this game, since I thought they would be interested.

All invitees must have a Reliability Rating of at least 80, and games are always semi-anonymous (we might know who's in the game, but not who they are) and have a 25-point buy-in (fun before points!). Diplomacy and not settling for a draw when there's a reasonable chance to win are also encouraged. Finally, I started the series by using the vDip Hall of Fame list (which was originally just the vDip Points list for a while) as the invite list, so you've got some of the top talent on the site as semi-regulars in the series. So, it's a great forum to test your skills, as well as new strategies, not to mention exploring (reasonable and interesting) new variants when they are created (hopfefully, vDip, Ollie, and the mods will get back to developing and adding new variants regularly again soon).

You can see the list of Cloak & Dagger games and the outcome on my profile page (there's specifically a Cloak & Dagger list): http://www.vdiplomacy.com/profile.php?userID=1197 (and if you want details on any game, you can of course go deeper into my game history and click on the game itself).

Good to have new blood, er players, aboard -- welcome!
09 Sep 16 UTC Spring, 901: Good luck all... I've sent my initial messages and given you an idea of where I stand. I will now be offline for quite a few hours watching my son's football game. Will check in later, don't think I am ignoring you...
09 Sep 16 UTC Spring, 901: Looks like the game started while I was sending out that message, oh well. I know you diplomats would never hold a grudge and always play each game separately, as encouraged here at vDip. Cheers!
09 Sep 16 UTC Spring, 901: It's now semi-semi-anon :)
09 Sep 16 UTC Spring, 901: Depends on who you are... ;-) Some things just CAN'T be forgiven! (Joking of course, I'm guilty too)
