In face to face diplomacy not only can you step outside with a single person, but you can hold multiple conferences between 3,4 even 5 players.

RE: Obama's Response to ISIS and the Refugees

There are 40,000 - 50,000 minority refugees, a majority of them Christian, fleeing for their lives from ISIS. And what is ISIS doing to these men, women and children. They are beheading the children and women and hanging the men. They are closing in these people.

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.

No offense to anyone but im curious why mods are allowed to have multi accounts to test games. In this case, cant the average player have multiple accounts to experience the game played from different POVs as well?

My only objection is to the finals. I don't think it is wise to play a map designer for 7 people, with only 6 people, especially for the "championship" game. Much of the subtle east/west interplay is lost when Italy is not playable. In addition, since I don't believe that this site has it coded to put Italy in CD, wouldn't the Italian peninsula just be empty? Imagine what could happen if Austria and Turkey end up on the same team. With a pretty much guaranteed safe corner (without Italy, Russia would stand no chance in the region), they'd run roughshod over Serbia/Greece/Rumania/Bulgaria, and probably would also sweep into the Mediterranean to take much of the Italian peninsula fairly easily. I would much rather play a map designed for 6 people. Perhaps Mars?
