username change
I started this account so I could join in games set up by my school, but I didn't realize that I needed to model my username after specific formatting, so now I'm stuck with a username that doesn't fit the guidelines of the setup. does anyone know how one could go about changing their username on here?

[Speed Europa variant] moving from Burgundy to Ruhr should not be possible
Hello,

As noticed by Tyran (user ID 2518) in the game "Wolf Pack v3" (game ID 58137) armies may move from Burgundy to Ruhr and vice versa (see the Map info tab of the variant's page) while the map doesn't say that. Maps on the external variant homepage also, so I suppose it is an error in the code, not the map.

Is there a way to set up notifications so I don't NMR? Either an email or text message so I don't forget that turns are about to be processed.

[Speed Europa variant] Check Barrents Sea adjacency
In my current game (ID=58131), it says the Barents Sea can move to Serbia (rather than Siberia)

It also lists Norway as an option, though the spaces are not adjacent on the map.

A new Cold War tournament (Nexus CW6)
Hey everybody. It was about time someone organised another cross platform Cold War tournament.

The tournament will be played wherever the players agree to play. Which means vDip will be hosting games. I have made a rule set on discord: https://discord.gg/kKnAuHN6kM - if you do not like discord I will communicate via e-mail. I will post updates here.

Great new variant - Bronze Age Diplomacy
IMHO a really great new variant with many options, constantly fluctuating balances of power, both fleets and armies with power, sensible offboard movement that makes stalemates hard.

This is a good one I think

I'm in stitches at work right now listening to you guys argue over left handed panhandle's of Florida. Clearly it's our northern hemisphere backwardness.

I feel like the better explanation is "the small part is the handle, the big part is the pan".
I pissed myself laughing listening to this again when I edited it :-D

Bots have taken over webDip and Diplomacy is never going to be the same again! Guys this is a massive step change to the game - hear about it direct from jmo and peterwiggin in episode 52 of the podcast: DiplomacyGames.com, iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, Google Play etc.
Confessions of a lapsed Diplomacy player: Kaner & Amby interview Matt a guy selling his board. The big question is why? Plus a bumper Around the Grounds for the guys' games circa 11 September when this was recorded. Podcast episode 53 is slowly making its way out on the interwebs folks! Grab it at iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, GooglePlay and DiplomacyGames.com
Another fortnight rolls around, so its time for episode 54 of the Diplomacy Games podcast! As the temperature picks up into the 90's (for our American friends) we go back to the 70's. Kaner talks about a 1979 guide to Diplomacy he got his hands on and Amby channels his Stevie Wonder talking abut his Dip superstitions. Plus much more. Listen at DiplomacyGames.com or download and subscribe at iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, Google Play etc.

Looking at your patreon site, I hereby promise to give you guys the 2$ a month. But, listen, I really really like the background noice from the bar. Glasses, some people talking, some laughter. It just gives the whole podcast such a relaxed feeling. Don't filter it all away.

If you wanna improve audio, then focus on the interviews that are done via phone/skype or whatever you use. Not that I have any clue of how you would invest to improve the audio quality for them, but those are the ones that would really benefit from it.
Thanks Mittag for the feedback and glad you enjoy the show.

I think the audio quality has improved a lot from the early days of the podcast. I've since worked out in Audacity what settings to use to optimise the quality. Plus we also worked out one of the other issues we had when moving venues and the quality becoming much worse (we paused when we should've stopped as the audio levels were very different.)

That said I think actually having two mikes when we record would make it better. But then it feels a little less like two blokes catching up in a bar. When bars open again!

The background noise is the main reason I rarely listen to this podcast. Without it, it would be much, much more enjoyable for me.

+1 to bar noise!, the main, personal difficulty is catching up the ozzy accent, considering my mother tongue is not from from saxonic, nor germanic branch, thus please keep the text, that is my guide to what the hell the guys are talkin about!

Amby, the sound is much improved from the early days, and the podcasts are always getting better. I am a fan of the bar noise, at least a little noise. Keep up the great work. And congrats on the Divided States win
Thanks Mercy, CCR and jason.

I think the secret is having some bar noise but so its not distracting.
Hi folks, episode 65 is now making its way across the internet. We interview Garry and Andy about MaccCon and how face-to-face players are turning to technology to play tournaments when Coronavirus restricts your movement options. Plus we talk current games we're in and some variants in development here at vDip!

https://diplomacygames.com or iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify etc, and just search for Diplomacy Games
The guys discuss Amby's win (New York) in the biggest solo game ever with kevdog8 (Kentucky), rannjohnson (Florida) & Dr Recommended (Montana) in the latest episode. Listen at http://DiplomacyGames.com or search for Diplomacy Games on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher & Spotify.
Forgot to mention, the latest podcast episode was released yesterday. Still stuck at home we talk about the Minnesota Diplomacy Club's Discord enabled F2F game done online plus Kaner's Renovatio Europa draw here at vDip in Silent Europe: DiplomacyGames.com or search in your podcast app for Diplomacy Games
Did you play EU IV? Listen to Kaner (Hungary) and his take on the game at the Diplomacy Games podcast (https://diplomacygames.com/chris-martin-diplomacy-academy/ or go to your podcast player and search for Diplomacy Games).
