"Papers,Please" variant idea
I just thought,wouldnt the papers,please variant be a nice addition to vdip?The map should be something like this- http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=190964694&insideModal=1
Every country borders at least two others,but there are no neutrals.The SC names are already in(tho nirsk should just be a province).I have no idea how to program or balance stuff,so,can this even be done without copyright problems?And can this be an actual variant someday?

New podcast segment: Dip Dilemmas
In a semi recent podcast episode Kaner and I floated the idea of a Diplomacy Dilemmas segment where players either post via a forum thread or PM us a tricky problem/issue they're having in a game for our "sage" guidance. We'll be recording next week, so send your dilemmas through!

Dip Directions?
In episode 11 of the Diplomacy Games podcast Kaner and I discussed longevity aspects and risk management of sites like vDip and webDip to ensure they grow and reduce the chances of going down (either technically speaking or perceptions of IP infringement). We said we'd create a thread for this for others to contribute. What do you reckon?

Anyone notice (at the time of posting this) we have over 450 people currently playing a game(s). That's a big tick along of almost 100 people in a few months. Anyone know what caused it?

BTW not complaining :-D

I think it's because of people learning more about this site, through word of mouth and even as search engines become more refined. I know, as a matter of fact, this and webDip are the only diplomacy websites not blocked on my high school wi-fi. Although, I am not certain about what the age ranges of people who play Diplomacy are...

19 Nov 16 UTC
Haha Kaner, I like the enthusiasm. Also, can anyone give me tips on the variants? Is there a guide available for different maps? I'd just like to know what options are available since I'm much more used to the classic variant. I don't really know how to play on these different maps and I expect a lot of defeats until I get the hang of it. I just won't share the game ID because it could be considered possible cheating but the maps are: Atlantic Colonies (4 players) and the map with hexagons. Let me check the name.

Oh it's Migraine.
kaner406 (2181 D Mod (B))

No guides that I know of for either of those maps. Actually no guides for most variants come to think of it.
IcyPhoenix (951 D)

So it just comes from experience then? It's plenty hard, I have to say. Much more strategy than Warlight.

You can always have a look at diplom.org for general Diplomacy related strategy.

Alright. That sounds good. I also have a quick question which you should know the answer to. If I'm in two Multi-day games right now but only have 1 total phase completed, would I still be able to play in a live game? Because the rule book said only two games for beginners until a certain amount x of phases completed. I'm looking forward to being able to play a live game tomorrow morning if possible, on the site.

No?? I promised the mods there i would not Multiaccount for another year so then I could appeal my ban. I've also begun helping out with the coding. I just looked up tales of draugnar on the Internet and looked through the old archive forums on web dip. You don't need an account for that.

Return to Vdip
Hi All!

After a nearly 2.5 year hiatus from playing here, I thought it might be a good time to stop back over and take a peek at what's going on. I've missed some of the variants here, and am hoping to be able to gather up a solid group of players to play a few games (not all at once necessarily) and give me that variant "fix" I've been missing. Anyone interested in some top notch play?
