Anywhere to download Classic map files?
I've looked around a bit and I can't find anywhere where I can download the original diplomacy map files and borders for creating a variant based off the classic map. I'm thinking of creating a variant and if I could get these it would save a ton of work.

What is the exact mechanism for choosing what variant to play?
I am versus langaidin, so he chooses the map for 2 games, then me, then him again, then if its drawn then a Duo tiebreaker?
langaidin (1064 D)
18 Aug 11 UTC
I believe the mechanism for our series is for us both to choose the variant that gives me some type of advantage. Not sure about the others:)
Gobbledydook (1083 D)
18 Aug 11 UTC
LOL what if I don't agree?
langaidin (1064 D)
18 Aug 11 UTC
I believe that's against the rules, but I'll have to ask Fasces to arbitrate.
Does it have to be GvI? *sigh*
RoxArt (1732 D)
19 Aug 11 UTC
gobb you play 6 games on the same map!! you can chose freely a 1on1 map, if you can't get an agreement then GvI is played
if a 7th game is needed you have to play on duo or lepanto

@PE yes it has to be, sorry :)
Gobbledydook (1083 D)
19 Aug 11 UTC
6 games on 1 map?!
Can't we agree to play different variants?
fasces349 (1007 D)

@President Eden: Unfortunatly, Roxart and a few other threatened to leave the tournament if the first 6 games of these rounds were IvG. You have them to blame.
fasces349 (1007 D)
19 Aug 11 UTC
^weren't
The hell? No. I am not playing six GvI games. I understand it being the default in the event of not being able to come to an agreement, but RoxArt is blatantly holding out to get his favorite map all six times.
fasces349 (1007 D)
19 Aug 11 UTC
Would you rather me lower it to 4?
I could do four, but six is...
Guaroz (2030 D (B))
19 Aug 11 UTC
mmm?? ...things look put upside-down, here... I try a stright recap:
I understand GvI is the most hated map by PE and he's blatantly holding out to avoid it, but if he's not able to come to an agreement, then GvI is the default map.
Sorry for him, but this has been the rule all tournament long and, as it has been said a thousand times, change the rules while the tournament is going is WRONG.
I'm not "blatantly holding out to avoid it." I just said I would agree to play four GvI games.
Guaroz (2030 D (B))
19 Aug 11 UTC
Oh, sorry then. But you should propose your agreements to your opponent, not to us.
langaidin (1064 D)
20 Aug 11 UTC
What if gobbles and I agree to do 2 games of 3 different variants? Would that be acceptable? If we've allowed throughout to let the players decide, then it would seem strange to change that now.
fasces349 (1007 D)
20 Aug 11 UTC
Your allowed to, however Roxart enforced a rule at the begining that in the result of a disagreement IvG is being played.

Roxart has now decided for his series against President Eden that they are going to play 6 IvG, and there is not Prez can do about it.
Gobbledydook (1083 D)
20 Aug 11 UTC
PE go kick Roxart's ass hard so he won't bother us with more of his draconian measures!
Gobbledydook (1083 D)
20 Aug 11 UTC
I rather think the higher-seeded player should be allowed to choose 2 variants and the lower-seeded choose 1.
Guaroz (2030 D (B))
20 Aug 11 UTC
@ Gobble. If you're talking about next tournaments, I like your proposal. And, in the Final, they could choose 2 maps each, since there are 8 games before the Duo.
A different solution could be predetermined maps. So in Quarters and Semis will be played, say, 2 GvI, 2 FvA and 2 JvF. In Final, 2 CivilWar would be added. A Champion should be able to move on every map!
But... no hurry. There's time, to discuss it, until next tournament.
RoxArt (1732 D)
20 Aug 11 UTC
i did not read all this...
it was not only me doing this rule we agreed at start, i will play according to this and thats it....
on next tournaments, we can do other rules that's fine but this has to be finished as started ;)

Well just saying, those rules are not perfect. Surely rules are important, otherwise the tournament would be in chaos, but isn't the point of the tournament to have fun? Forcing rules on your competitors does not sound like a mutually fun process. You have every right to do so, but it kind of defeats the purpose of the match.
Devonian (1887 D)
20 Aug 11 UTC
I think RoxArt's point is that it would not be fun for him to play a different variant. Maybe he is less confident in other variants. Maybe he wants definitive proof that he is the best at GvI. Maybe he wants to test all possible strategies.

Unfortunately, he has to defer to the rules in order to back up his preference. I my opinion, this should not be a big issue, if he wants GvI, he should be allowed to play it without all the complaints.
fasces349 (1007 D)
20 Aug 11 UTC
I like Gobbles suggestion for the next vdip cup. However unfortunatly we will have to stick with GvI for this one.
RoxArt (1732 D)
20 Aug 11 UTC
Dev im not less confident with other variants, i just want to go for my long planned strategy with GvI (as this is lasting so long I'm almost forgetting what I planned hehe) but I had some ideas I want to check, and that's why I want to go on with GvI :)
Devonian (1887 D)
20 Aug 11 UTC
Rox, I didn't want to presume to know your reasons. That's why I presented 3 possible reasons that I could think of. If I read you right, I think my third reason was close but not entirely correct.

So just so everyone is clear, its now 5 game series and 7 for the finals
Guaroz (2030 D (B))
20 Aug 11 UTC
Fasces, isn't it a bit different from what you said on the other (just bumped) thread?

5 Jun 2011:
"Top 4 in each play in best of 7 quarter finals (in which for game 7 the player with more points during the preliminaries choses the countries and the team with fewer points choses the map) [changed to Duo, later]
winners play in best of 7 semis
winners play in best of 9 finals "
