"he's not too bad"

Meaning his quality of trolling. He is extremely irritating and annoying. Just of all the trolls over there, he is not the bottom of the barrel. Also, hellalt has mostly stopped trolling. Its probably because the Greeks are too busy rioting every day in RL.

@GF: Welcome to vdip. Like everyone else I very rarely go on webdip anymore and actually only go on when I feel like entering a political debate (or to troll Obi). I don't think we have actually ever played a game before, but know you from the political debates on webdip. I look forward to meeting you in the future.

The other thing I would like to say is the point of the RR. The idea of the RR is to limit the number of games unreliable players could join. Those who CD alot can't join a lot of games, thus giving them an incentive to enter orders.

Since your new, the intent is to limit the number of games you could join, since a lot of people get bored of diplomacy just a few days after joining. If you want to unlock the infinite games level quickly my advice would be to join faster paced games now (if you can manage them).

"the Greeks are too busy rioting every day in RL."
+1 for the lols.

However on the topic of Bolshie I actually don't mind him...


lastly lets talk about the thing on every webdippers mind when they join: variants.

I see you join a lot of World games on webdiplo so my advice to you is to join a WW4 game, which is like the World game on web dip but with twice the number of players and three times the number of scs. (its HUGE)

My personal fav map (which is hardly ever played and quite unbalanced) is 1066. I generally prefer maps with less supply centers (hooray for scarcity) but I do make an exception for the world maps, since they're incredible epic

My final word of advice is to join a game of alcavre, since its always interesting to see how well pros on the classic map can play on it.

Hey, I can never grasp as to what people consider trolling, sometimes people think I'm trolling (Likely something pretty minor) and other times they say someone else is trolling, I look at what they talk about and can't exactly see what the trolling part is.

If you thought that "Self Prompting" KA did was trolling...... I thought it was funny, gave me a laugh.

That's mainly why I came here....the variants seem quite interesting. I just had a good game in a 1v1 variant, though I don't think it counts towards my moves.

Do you have any games of the variants you mentioned starting up? Some of the ones I'm waiting on don't look like they'll fill up in time, so I could play 1066.

And finally, the world games look truly epic. So hard to wrap my head around. Also, 1939 looks interesting as well, though it seems to suck to be France or Russia in that one.

Hey, also, I never played on Web Diplomacy..... I first played Diplomacy on Facebook.

It stopped working on Face Book (Entire forum not working correctly, Couldn't even input orders)

So, after that, I came here, and I'm glad I did :)

Tettleton's Chew is my definition of a troll. Mapleleaf is my definition of a troll. Idk if you're on webdip as well, but if you are you know who I'm talking about.

And KA doesn't always troll, but he's a part-time troller for sure.

ahh, now I see your post.

And if you want to get live games going consistently, and play with a larger (and perhaps somewhat higher quality but I can't be sure about that) pool of players, then you should create a Webdip account as well. There are some great tournaments over there.

1066 was popular for a while and I like it
and as for trolling it depends on opinion, but I consider it trolling if it is hateful, racist, otherwise discriminatory, or designed to do nothing but anger someone

Ok, thanks on clearing that up of what you can consider trolling.

........Because Butterhead said to not self prompt, I was thinking of trying to be funny and say like "O, no self prompting? Well, there's a only one great map on here! *copy and paste KA's own map*

LOL

lol, see thats playful in nature not all hateful

trolling is when then intent/result of the post is to piss people off rather then developing the conversation.

@gold: live games and 1v1s don't count towards reliability.
As for a 1066 game:
gameID=6648
(given the game name I will be really disappointed if Shep and Gold don't join, lol)

Nice game name lol. And nice way to rephrase the 3 names into a short funny sentance.

I wonder where the sheep will be staging a coup :P

well you do have to watch out for those golden sheep lol

hmm, shouldn't be too hard to spot... Right? :P..........Right? O_o

When I know whose joining the game in advance I try to make puns on the names just for lols.

mission accomplished (goldfinger joined) :)

I would say good luck at making a pun on mine... Sure you could figure one out though, given enough time.

@adammaa- I was joking around with KA because he is always self promoting his variant so I was giving him crap, not a serious comment. also, I started on fb too, but ran into some... trouble... there, and decided to duck out before it got worse, went to webdip, wasn't a fan, came here, love it.

well I generally make it up on the spot based on the first thing that pops into my head...

@buttherhead- I'm not trying to get after you, the way I was saying it is that when I saw what you said, I thought of being funny and prompting KA's variant for him :P

@Fasces- I bet mine would take a little bit, I think I would actually like to join a game with you just so I could see if you can make a pun with my name XD

- a damn armadillo.

the a damn one I think is just one of those obvious ones, not hard to figure out. Just about anyone thinks of that if they try to mess with my name lol.

Watch out for that armadillo! He is really feisty!

The best trolls are the ones that you aren't quite sure if they're trolling or not. Krellin's sometimes there, but in general, obvious trolls are obvious.

adam marsupial.

- or Skippy the first kangaroo.

Like that marsupial one...... Skippy stumps me though lol. Unless it's that skippy goes along with the marupial.

@Sacred- Hey, sounds like your saying I'm the best troll because I'm not sure.... But I literatly barely understood trolling concepts.

"The best trolls are the ones that you aren't quite sure if they're trolling or not. Krellin's sometimes there, but in general, obvious trolls are obvious."
agreed, thats why I think TC is the best troll, since he makes so many good points mixed in with his troll points that sometimes it looks like he actually believes what he is saying

@adammaa - you're not a troll. Literally go through the webdip forums for 5 seconds, read some of Tettleton's Chew's posts, and then you'll know what it is.

But can he still really be a troll since so many people have muted him?
