Best map variants ever made
Which maps variants are best designed in your opinion. Not necessarily your favorites. I’m thinking those that give fun and interesting gameplay for all players, but you can use your own criteria.

Phase Swap?
In the "Create a New Game" tab, when you select the "custom phase length" option, a new drop-down menu appears: "Time Until Phase Swap." It has options ranging from "No phase switch" to 6 hours. I can't find any documentation on what this does. Does anyone know? Does it make retreats and builds shorter than movement turns? Any help would be appreciated!

Provocative Question
If Xi Jinping had been recruited as a long term, deep cover agent by the CIA (perhaps during his visit to Iowa) a la Günter Guillaume, Anthony Blunt or Eleanor Iselin, what would the CIA have him doing differently to sabotage China as a potential competitor of the USA?

Bourse is a game that runs 'inside' a game. Essentially you are buying and selling stock of a power in the game that is running. Speculation and misinformation is encouraged between players, buying into good solid stock can see your net-worth increase, but beware! If a country is eliminated from the game than that country's stock is reduced to nothing. Play large and win big on the stock market!

The rules are:

1) A Diplomacy Bourse is associated with a Diplomacy game, and runs parallel with it.

2) Any number of players may participate. Each begins with 1000 units of currency of each country in the game: Austrian Crowns, English Pounds, French Francs, German Marks, Italian Lire, Russian Roubles and Turkish Piastres. All currencies are equal at the start, each being worth $1 US. Throughout the game the value of currencies is expressed in Dollars.

*However due to the nature of vDip the players themselves will compete in the variant, so if there are 10 players who want to give this a shot then Modern will be the variant played

3) Orders are in two parts, buying and selling. Players may never sell more than 500 units of any one currency at one time, but may buy as many as he may afford. Any surplus after purchases may be retained as a Dollar balance against future purchases. There is no limit to the number of dollars that may be withdrawn from this balance at one time, but it may never go into deficit.

4) Each time 100 units of a currency are sold its value in relation to the dollar drops 1¢. Thus if in the first season the total of all orders results in 500 more Marks being sold than bought the price of the Mark for the following season would be $0.95. Each time an aggregate of 100 units is bought the price rises similarly by 1¢. Only complete multiples of 100 units affect the price - thus if 299 more Marks were bought than sold its value would rise by only 2¢.

5) Each season the GM will list who bought and sold what, old and new prices, players' holdings and Dollar surpluses, and their net worth.

6) When a country is eliminated from the Diplomacy game (i.e. when its Winter supply centre holding is 0), the value of its currency drops to zero and all trading in that currency ceases. Other than this, the value of a currency may never fall below 1¢. There is no upper limit to the value of a currency.

7) When the associated Diplomacy game ends, each Bourse player's "Victory Points" will be calculated as follows: for each currency in which he has a holding, the number of blocks of 100 units of currency multiplied by the number of supply centres owned by that country in the Diplomacy game. Thus if Turkey wins with 18 centres, with France on 14 and England on 2, and a player has 6000 Pounds, 10,000 Piastres and 4000 Francs, then his VPs would be 120+1800+560 = 2480. The GM will maintain running totals of Victory Points during the game.

8) Orders may not be made conditional. If orders are incorrect or illegal, the GM will adjust them in accordance with what he discerns to be the player's wishes. Players are asked to check adjudications for errors.


Some nitty-gritty details:

1. Phase length - 2 days minimum
2. Bourse adjudication - will take place once a season finishes. Simple market moves will be posted in global, and full bourse orders will be posted in the forum
3. Bourse buy/sell orders will be accepted via PM to me up until the end of a season
4. Early game - I will pause the game when there are no builds/retreats to allow time to post the bourse results. However when builds/retreats phases kick in it will be a gentleman's agreement to ready your orders once the bourse has been posted
5. Variant = Modern
6. Special Rules Game - as this is an SRG the game itself will be unranked
7. Anonymous draw/concede voting
8. Random country assignments

The winner of the bourse will be the player who has the highest Victory Points when the game has finished.

Sorry if I'm being dumb here, but is there anything preventing someone from simply mass-buying a currency, then selling it the next turn to constantly generate more USD? Unless the purchasing/selling price is updated as each unit of currency is sold, but I don't believe that's the case.

@Fizzes - in theory there is nothing to stop you from buying and much currency as you can afford, there is a 500 share cap of how much you can sell.

Now as a perpetual strategy to pump and dump, you need to remember that the value of the stock is in reality the VPs you get for holding them. A high value stock may just as easily put a target on your back on the board, as it could provide a measure of security - it would all depend on the type of negotiations going on that are both about the real politic of the land space between players on the board and the tensions in those negotiations regarding the winning conditions of the economic element of the bourse.

Tragedy of the Commons Rules Variant
I was thinking about what we see with the politics of climate change, how countries play the game of talking about reducing emissions but are hesitant to do so because they're afraid of being put at an economic disadvantage compared to their competitors. Not to get into a discussion of politics, more I thought about how this tragedy of the commons dynamic could be incorporated into a Diplomacy rules variant.
