Inconsequential and mundane facts! Here's mine: Nicholas II of Russia liked to read Sherlock Holmes.

USA imposed tax on Chinese product(125%),is that really good for trade?

It is what is says on the tin.

I wonder if there is any chance to find a sandbox of the game, where I can give orders for all countries and the proceed to check the result. Such function can be very useful for analyzing or teaching.

Game in question is here: https://vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=62071
I'm quite surprised to see defeated powers gaining points. I'm sure it's a product of a highly ranked player being in a game with a few very low ranked players, but I was not aware that it was possible to gain points at all for being defeated.

This is...intentional, right?

The game in question is vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=62433. Send me your ID for a chance to get a board leading position as Warsaw.

What is the difference between webdiplomacy and vdiplomacy?

The Mods have received a request to extend games for a player in Brisbane due to possible interruptions of power and internet as a result of a major weather event. If you are in the Brisbane or Gold Coast areas and fear having such issues, we can provide an accommodation, but you will need to message through the Mod Forum and you will need to provide a list of your active games.

Hello, I am in a North Sea Wars game and have to retreat from the economic zone. I want to retreat to Central North sea but get an error message:

Why does my "All games stats:" show less games than my "Variant stats:" shouldn't it be the other way round or something?

The Napoleonic variant has a very nice map and good historic period to play. But I think Firehawk killed his variant with the no-neutrals feature. Maybe we should ask him to release the alternative version of his variant about Napoleonic wars but with neutrals (occupied by units or not) and with for-Of-War map-feature (or without).
I'm sure the Napoleonic 2.0 variant will be more popular that its basic version.

Does anyone want to join a Classic-Chaos game?
Classic map, one person per center. It's anonymous and unrated.

There is a local Diplomacy group in the DC Metro Area called the Potomac Tea and Knife Society (PTKS), but it is slowly dying out, so much so that the group has hosted almost no in-person games at all over the last six years, and even before that rarely met anywhere Metro-accessible. The old organizers are about to lose access to their Meetup group, which will be deleted if somebody doesn't step up and claim the group before the 27th.

Happy Spring Festival!

January 2025 episode of Deadline, the monthly news program from the Diplomacy Broadcast Network, has just been released on YouTube. This show includes an interview with Cameron Higbe about his Kansas City event, the 3rd annual Hot or Not segment about what's currently hip in the hobby, and headlines from around the world of Diplomacy.

Join this Europa game for some fun! gameID=62084

I never understood this option...
Where can a game creator define the time and the day when the game will start?

Is it possible to implement a separate deadline for Retreats? I am currently in a game with one-week-per-turn deadlines, which applies globally to every set of Orders which needs to be entered. This makes it so that, if only one country has Retreats to enter, the entire game is waiting up to a week for that single player.
