16 Apr 22 UTC | Spring, 2021: GameMaster: Please remember that negotiations before the game begins are not allowed. |
16 Apr 22 UTC | Spring, 2021: Hopefully, the NMR and unrated settings will make people more likely to join this game |
16 Apr 22 UTC | Spring, 2021: I hope so too |
17 Apr 22 UTC | Spring, 2021: ...oh wait this is public message Well seeing 50 people speaking in one chatroom will be interesting |
17 Apr 22 UTC | Spring, 2021: (Game creator here:) Ideally, people treat it as a gunboat game, with the public chatroom only for last-minute alliances and bluffs. That's my line of thought. |
17 Apr 22 UTC | Spring, 2021: Alright cool, I have barely any experience with gunboat games but I'll do my best! |
17 Apr 22 UTC | Spring, 2021: One idea--getting enough players for a public press Divided States game is going to be pretty hard. If you're specifically looking for a many-player public press game, maybe we could consider it with the "A Modern Europe" map? |
17 Apr 22 UTC | Spring, 2021: Those are also great variants, but I'm in a few "Europa Renovatio" and "A Modern Europe" games already. Any idea why these fill up faster than "Divided States" games? |
17 Apr 22 UTC | Spring, 2021: It’s just hard bc there are so many ppl needed and only so many ppl in this community. There are 2 active right now so maybe once one of those ends, we might get more luck with ppl joining |
18 Apr 22 UTC | Spring, 2021: @Game Creator - I doubt that people will actually only use this chatroom for last-minute alliances. I suspect there will be messages along the lines of "4 corners?" or "North-South Carolliance?" with everyone else scrambling to make alliances in response. |
18 Apr 22 UTC | Spring, 2021: I'm in one EU4 game and we're trying to draw early since a major player asked for it. If it happens I'll direct them here |
18 Apr 22 UTC | Spring, 2021: Also @GM have you considered the new alliance of all the new states? |
18 Apr 22 UTC | Spring, 2021: Well, I appreciate the feedback. The chaos of scrambling to make alliances is what I am going for, but I'm also willing to remake the game without press altogether, if you think that'll bring more people in. Also many thanks to whomever can direct people here. |
18 Apr 22 UTC | Spring, 2021: Nah I wouldn't join a pure gunboat, i honestly never understood them since the game is literally called "diplomacy" |
18 Apr 22 UTC | Spring, 2021: Same here. I always prefer the enhanced chaos of public press only. |
18 Apr 22 UTC | Spring, 2021: Secret alliances really aren't much fun to be honestly. Like it's not like we don't know which member are apart of NATO |
23 Apr 22 UTC | Spring, 2021: The game is steadily gaining players. I would request an extension from the mods, it would be really great if this game actually got going. |
23 Apr 22 UTC | Spring, 2021: We got a week but yeah big games normally need a few of those extends. Can take up to a month to get 50 players |
23 Apr 22 UTC | Spring, 2021: Roger that |
23 Apr 22 UTC | Spring, 2021: Wild |
