Whoops, got offline to get a drink and talk to the girlfriend. Sorry, fellas.

Eeeeeh. Reaaaally don't like Hundred. I'll take you up on the 1v1 rematch if you want to do so now, but if you're looking for Hundred specifically then I'll have to pass. Thanks for the offer in any case.

whats wrong with hundred?
The fact that it's impossible to get a 2-way draw makes it kind of useless to play for us. Three competent players like ourselves wouldn't let one of us win, so it just ends up as a 3-way draw... in which case we might as well not even play at all.

Throw me in a Hundred game with two morons, and that's another story. ;P But you two are too crafty to let a solo happen.

I know what you're saying, i haven't played the map so i don't have much tactics for it though
Neither do I.

Eh, what the hell, I'll do it. Somebody better give me a 1v1 afterward though. ;)

"The fact that it's impossible to get a 2-way draw makes it kind of useless to play for us."
That was why I was originally hesitant to play. But its still really good.

"Throw me in a Hundred game with two morons, and that's another story. ;P But you two are too crafty to let a solo happen."
I have played the match, and the only time a draw took place was when 2 players had to leave before the game was over.

Given how low the target sc is, its more out smarting people diplomatically and tactically and sneaking your way to first then forcing the draw.

There are no stalemate lines it is (I think) so we don't have to worry about a 3-way draw.

this may be a challange player in 2 live games at once.
Maybe so. One of them is a de facto gunboat, you can handle it, most likely. Might help to see the situation...
Oh yeah. You've got that one you're in right now. No problem.
Man. Hundred is back-raising.
Shep315 (1435 D)

that map just follows the same cycle everytime, two guys gang up on the other, then the victim teams up with the weaker ally to attack the stronger, the keep up the cycle until someone eventually has a good enough position to stab them both for the win, and burgundy is usually, although not always the best to do that

Back Raising?

Up for a 1 v 1 Eden?
fasces349 (1007 D)
10 Mar 11 UTC
@Shep: Your conclusion is 100% correct. Burgundy has won 65% of the time for a reason.
+1 Shep

I don't think back-raising was the right word. Meant hair-raising, as in getting such a sense of anticipation out of it that the hair on your back raises up. Y'know what I mean.

And yeah, 1v1 me up! Looking forward to the grudge match. ;)

Irony: The character President Eden is the fictitious ruler of a post-apocalyptic form of the American government in Fallout 3. That government, called the Enclave, is a satire of the government in a fascist form.
fasces349 (1007 D)
10 Mar 11 UTC
Lol. I never played Fallout. I just thought Edenism (from the Eden in your name) vs Fascism (from then Fasc is my name) would be a fitting title for our 1 v 1s
I agree, definitely like the title. And I like the idea of our matches being regular enough to warrant a specific name. ;)

Imbalanced map?
It seems as if several maps need some balancing work. For example, England* v Turkey is skewed toward England, and in Rinascimento, the French are virtually at the hands of other players’ wills.

Hello, I have a problem
Hello, I have a problem. I am going away for a few days (tomorrow), and I don't know how to quit the game I am in. There are 36 players, so I cannot reasonably ask for all of them to pause --- besides, there isn't enough time --- so I am stuck.

Playing with fewer players
Hi all!

I know this is probably a noob question, but I need to resolve this issue: is it possible to start a game with fewer players than those normally expected? I tried it once with the Rinascimento variant, but the game didn't launch just because there weren't 12 players.
Thank you in advance!

Thanks to tobi1 we have a new and improved convoy-code.

Very cool you could solve this problem. I did take a look at your code, but I'm absolutely clueless... :-)

Gunboat specs
If the "Gunboat", "Public Press", or "Per Rulebook" rules are employed, shouldn't the game be automatically "Anon" as well? If it weren't, then players could just PM each other, defeating the purpose.

Question about social norms for players
In a large game, a reliable player asked the mods to extend the game for Easter. The request was general and largely in the name of other player: "Hey guys, it's Easter, and in a big game, some people will probably be traveling to see family." The extension was granted, and requests like that are likely to be accepted.

Bot wars
I've been wondering how well you could write a script to play gunboat diplomacy. Probably not very well (at least to begin with!), but it would be fun to try. I don't really have the time to do this properly right now, but I'm interested to know if it has been done before, or whether anyone would be keen to try at some point in the future.
