War in 2020
I would like to point out that there is a variant called War in 2020 that has existed since at least 2011. That is all

Looking for a 1600 game
Hello, I’m new here and have been out of pbem Diplomacy for awhile but I would love to get in on the next game of the 1600 variant here. Is there a way I can sign up for a game starting in the future? How does it work around here?

Thanks for any help.

How do points work?
I am confused on points. I know that there is 2 types. The points that allow you to play x amount of games. And the points that show how good of a player you are. How does the whole bet thing work?

Rating question
Hi! New to forums and fairly new to this game, I was wondering how the rating system works. I understand generally that we gain points for draws and solos, and lose them for defeats and survivals, but how is it determined how much we gain or lose?

Lose less points when you replace a player?
Should we really lose as many points when let's say. You replace a player who is in a decent position. Only to upon entering the game automatically start in a terrible position. And then lose 20 points in a game you had 0 chance of surviving in. Should you really lose those 20 points? What If you lost less points when replacing a player to make it less damaging when you start in terrible positions. What you guys think?

The IST province in modern Europe
It appears that there are two IST provinces (Istria and Istanbul). For Istria, that doesn't look like Italy's modern borders, especially as it removes Slovenia's existing coast in today's world.

Improving Fog Of War
Fog of war applies to a few maps, classic, 1998, and such; but it seems like a simple add in. How hard would it be to get FoW as a setting rather than variant property? I would think there are many maps and games I would like to try with it, but it's only on a few things. There are also some variants like Rat Wars, that can only be done in FoW. Just wondering if this was a possibility?

Was the Munich Agreement a British diplomatic coup in 1938?
Neville Chamberlain died on 11/9/1940. Chamberlain's brother had won the Nobel Prize for Locarno, which has explicitly stated that the UK viewed Germany's Eastern border open for revision and was only committed to defending Germany's Western border. Other than getting Hitler's signature on an agreement that he then violate in less than 6 months, I see no other way that Chamberlain could have gotten a treaty with Poland ratified or instituted peace time conscription in a democratic society.

FvA championship
Hello,

I propose to launch a FvA championship with 5 players.
Page 1 of 5
FirstPreviousNextLast
 
CptMike (1575 D)
20 Aug 19 UTC
The championship is organised in 5 short seasons during which each player plays 2 games (once with F and once with A).

A victory gives 3 points.
A draw gives 1 point to each player.
A defeat gives no point.

A google spreadsheet will gather all results.

At the end of the 5 seasons, everyone will have played 2 times against everyone else.

If 10+ players want to join, we can make several pools.

Pool A
1. CptMike
2.
3.
4.
5.

May I suggest a seeding method be used to split the players into groups if the interest grows? Perhaps Vpoints?
CptMike (1575 D)
20 Aug 19 UTC
Yeap. If we have several pools, I will sort the players with their Vpoints

#1 Vpoints -> A.1
#2 Vpoints -> 2B.1
#3 -> C.1
#4 -> A.2
#5 -> B.2
etc
ubercacher16 (2196 D)

CptMike (1575 D)

I'm happy to join in if you need the extra body to make nice numbers, but if you have enough without me then I'd probably prefer not subjecting myself to more FvA than absolutely necessary :p
CptMike (1575 D)
21 Aug 19 UTC
FvA is not the funniest but it is the most equilibrated and one of the fastest... My personnal preference is North vs South but it is too long if many players are involved.

My idea is to set 1 day / phase but it depends on all players of course.
Mittag (1396 D)
21 Aug 19 UTC
1. CptMike
2. ubercacher16
3. Mittag
4. badivan1
5. mouse
6.

1 day / phase is necessary unless people want to play parallel games.

FvA is standard.. but maybe if there is a crowd for 1v1 tournaments here, then we could do one or two each year with a different map each time.

Here is the kind of spreadsheet that will be created to follow the games. ( In fact with 5 players, there are 4 rounds. Each player plays 8 games )

We can make 2 groups of 3 and the first 2 of each group will be selected for the final pool of 4.

What is your mind ?

That would work, let's wait and see if we get more though.

Hello all,

mouse prefers postponing given we are already 5.

So we would have :
1. ubercacher16 (1830)
2. Frozen frog (1661)
3. Mittag (1498)
4. badivan (1278)
5. CptMike (1188)

I create the sheet and post the link here.

Hello guys,

Spreadsheet is here :
* https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vQ9LMesHOogBDjwUsTqCBCHxAhS7jwtw9mUXTbqnVms/edit#gid=0

The rules are reminded there ( nb : 2 pts per victory and not 3 ).

For the First round, the games are the following :

FvA 2019 - 1.1 - uber vs Frozen
FvA 2019 - 1.2 - Frozen Dog vs Mittag
FvA 2019 - 1.3 - Mittag vs badivan
FvA 2019 - 1.4 - badivan vs CptMike
FvA 2019 - 1.5 - CptMike vs Frozen

Could :each French player create the game and inform the Austrian player by PM with a pwd ? ( 24 h / not anonymous / unranked )

Could each French player copy/paste the link to the game in this thread ?

Good luck !
