FAQ Contacting Moderators
Is the FAQ up to date? Im not sure what this is talking about. Did you just copy and paste this from webdip? One answer talks about the forum as if it’s been switched to a category format, which I know happened at webdip years ago clearly not here unless you switched back.

“You can contact the moderators at any time by using the 'Need help?' button located just below the order entry…”

Diplomacy Variant Creation
So I've been in the process of making a Diplomacy Variant. I plan to take the "Europa Renovatio" map and update and expand it. (What I mean to say is, because it's a translation of the EU4 map, it's gone out of date since then.)

Advertise your NON-live games here!
In an effort to compromise the pro-ads versus anti-ads for games: Post here for your non-live games to cut down on the number of ads but still advertise games. Post game link, WTA or PPSC, and the bet. Note: this doesn't count for special rules games.

impossible draw?
How do you achieve a 3-way draw in a game with 85 SC and a solo threshold of 26? This has happened twice in the "Vikings" variant, according to the stats page. https://www.vdiplomacy.net/variants.php?variantID=63

Activating Flowery War
Flowery War seems to be set up as map 150, but not able to be played, while the variant next numbered, Europa Renovatio, is playable. Why is that?

The Treaty of Verdun
I've heard that it is incredibly hard to make a good map for around three players for instance, the 1066 makes the Norwegians so powerful but somehow the 843: Treaty of Verdun seems like it is almost perfectly balanced. How is this possible? Looking at the map it is quite hard to see symmetry but yet it still works. What makes the Treaty of Verdun different?

Support from-to option instead of support to-from
Hi! I used to play tabletop and just recently discovered variants, now playing on vDiplomacy and I have a trouble with Support orders. I misplayed few times because I'm used to write support orders noting From first, and To last. I hope for that option in settings.

Interactive map bug?
Has anyone else experienced a bug where clicks are not registered on the interactive map mode? Cause I've been experiencing this for a few days now in all of my games where it will load fine, and let's me click a few of my units some of the time (but not every time) (and usually only in the upper left corner), but clicking on the rest of my units just doesn't do anything.

Other diplomacy sites or games like it?
Looking to compile a list of other sites like this. I would check previous threads but there is too much to sift through and no way to refine the search. I've also exhausted web searches; found great games and some not so great.

Let the procrastination worsen!

Hey poikoi,

WebDiplomacy is very similar to this site, but there are way more classic games and fewer variants.

I've tried Neptune's Pride, but not sure if that's what you're looking for.
vDip
webDip
Conspiracy (android)
Diplicity
Backstabbr

Just some of the sites I used to play at. Same game, vastly different communities. Diplicity, in particular, also has a wide array of variants

Diplicity and Conspiray have been closed and don't exist anymore. Although some former Diplicity devs are working to build a new website (but it's far from being finished) and someone is trying to make a Conspiracy 2.0. (but it's in the very early stage). Playdiplomacy has been hacked and so there are some issues on this website.

But in the list of working "websites", you can add Discord. Many games are being organised there.
Also there is Diplomania, a website for the French speaking community.

Here is an alphabetical list of websites where you can play Diplomacy on-line (most of these websites allow you to play variants):

Backstabbr: https://www.backstabbr.com/

BOUNCED: http://www.dipbounced.com/

Diplomaticcorp: http://www.diplomaticcorp.com/

DPjudge: http://www.diplomatic-pouch.org/

Politics: http://gamesbyemail.com/Games/Politics

Redscape: http://www.redscape.com/

vDiplomacy (formerly OliDip): https://vdiplomacy.net/ or https://vdiplomacy.com/

webDiplomacy (formerly phpDiplomacy): https://www.webdiplomacy.net/

webDiplomacy.ru: https://webdiplomacy.ru/

Of these, I've only ever played on vDiplomacy and its sister site, webDiplomacy, so I can't verify if all of these websites actually still work.

Variants can also be implemented on adjudication platforms such as jDip or Realpolitik.
Some of these sites are not active, at least as far as Dip is concerned.
Oh word? I didn't realize Conspiracy and Diplicity aren't available anymore
JECE (1534 D)

Yeah, it was fairly recent. Diplicity shut down on 31 August 2024 and Conspiracy shut down a month later.

The farewell messages were archived on reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/diplomacy/comments/1fq4zzr/the_conspiracy_app_is_shutting_down/
Well, ackchyually ;) only the Diplicity Android app was retired from the official PlayStore in August. The Diplicity website was still fully functionnal. But the host (iBrave) ceased to exist around November, and that's when Diplicity was forced to shut down.
Flame (1073 D)

I don't know why there are so many different platforms to play the same boardgame? Why not to do one website but the best one. The only reason that webdiplomacy.ru is hosted: - - - >>> Oli and Kestas don't want to implement the feature to create the games and forum threads with language-marks. So the russian- or chinese- speaking or others players can gather and start their games in the prefered language.

Jean_Henri_BERNARD: Thanks! I remember something about that, but I couldn't find a record of that November farewell. I'm sure it's out there somewhere. :-)
