Opinioniated favorite variants

Hello all! I'm not familiar with all these variants compared to what are on Webdiplomacy. I'm looking to play some games but I'm not sure which ones are really good and which ones are not so much fun. So what's popular variant wise?

GOD (1791 )

According to the stats (http://vdiplomacy.com/variants.php (you can list them from most- to fewest games played) Modern II is the most favorite variant...i personally really like known world 901

Modern Diplomacy II
Classic - Crowded
Known World 901
Greek Diplomacy

I would say depends on what your after, as you can stick to the classic form and World Map here too :)

you can also see from variants list what is hot how many played and currently playing & make up you own mind http://www.vdiplomacy.com/variants.php?

But some of my favourites
- classic fog takes gunboat and puts it on steroids. (Similar 1066 only 3 player)
- Dark Age, First Crusade, Celtic Britain & Vikings are nice size and have historical twist Known World same idea but bigger map.
- WWII only 5 player but fairly fast paced (and maybe unbalanced)
- many other WWII variants too with more players; 1939, Youngstown, Aberration
- Haven, can be lost of Fun
- Rinascimento, despite some obvious imbalances, lots of fun

I like Habelya too, especially with all the background story someone made up :D

pjman (661 )
08 Aug 14 UTC

I'll check that variant out right now! Sounds fun.

pjman (661 )

Many of them look fun but some look not so much . I personally like the American variants. Not many of them are up right now though.

Strider (1604 )

@GOD think King Atom did all that back story for Habelya. Place names are good too I.O.P my favourite

If you like huge games, you can't get much bigger than WWIV and it's running often.

Known World 901 and Viking Diplomacy are probably my favorites. Then again, they're the only ones I've played on this site.

Hellenic Riot (1267 )

Abstraction III and Germany 1648 are my two personal favourites, but there's a few I haven't tried yet that I mean to get around to.

Multiple Cancelings?

So... I was in a game of Rinacemento that had not yet started. Not enough people joined. So it canceled. And canceled. And canceled. And canceled. I have NINE messages saying it canceled, BUT, I was NOT refunded 9 times! Not to mention, it still shows up in my games... which is annoying.... I WANT MY REFUND!

Perpetual Diplomacy

Is there a variant of Diplomacy that is designed to be a perpetual game? In other words, players are free to come and go as they please, but the motivation is to be the biggest player on the board, not to "win".

Diplomacy on the Radio

I'm listening to an episode of the radio program "This American Life" about Diplomacy. Featuring the same guy who recently wrote the Diplomacy article on Grantland. Not sure if it's the current episode or a repeat, but I figured I'd mention it here for those interested. Should be available on podcast now or soon.

Oli, thank you for the color-blindness interface.

I have protonapia and this is awesome. That plus labeling the countries speaking global and the interactive map males it so much better and less confusing... Even on the phone (interactive doesn't let me interact but still shows what I ordered using the drop down).

New default Pot-Type WTA....

As the subject suggests.
To gather a bit more feedback about this issue I changed the default from PPSC to WTA and made a big announcement about this on the gamecreation-page.
This will last for the next few month and we will see if the games get better, worse, or if nobody cares.

Is this metagaming?

Recently, I was playing an anon gunboat game. I submitted my orders in advance. Next time I connected, the deadline was 5 minutes away, and the player I was fighting with had not submitted orders yet: he was going NMR. Is taking advantage of the (likely) NMR ok, or is it considered metagaming?
