Winning
Oli won.
On Imperial Civilization's off-topic thread (link inside), there was a brief stint of Second to Last Person to Post Wins. Now that the thread is closed, Oli won.

Rating issues
Is anyone else having issues with rating? I just finished a game on Empires and Coalitions and dropped 150 points despite being part of a 4-way draw. Would love to hear if this is just a me problem, or if other people are experiencing this.

Article: Advanced Diplomacy Maneuvers
Article I wrote a little while ago covering 14 advanced Diplomacy maneuvers, that I wanted to repost as a useful reference.

Nicely done Ewok. I had never really looked at the backup convoy situation before, though I'm sure it must have come up sometime over the years, at least against me! I do think that's something that should be rectified though, my rationale being that if you can't order a unit directly to take either/or routes to a territory, you shouldn't be able to order an army (irregardless of convoy) to take either/or routes to a territory.

I don't think that I've come across the last tip, “Schizophrenic Support” to avoid an unexpected convoy. Good idea!

Strategy Article: Alliance Busting
Reposting this two-part article I previously wrote for The Briefing on alliance busting. The original version is no longer accessible, and it felt worth preserving.

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.

Site expansion - community opinion.
I have been a diplomacy enjoyer of many years despite being fairly new to the site. I work in cybersecurity but have a solid foundation in development, and would like to make a mobile app to supplement this wonderful website. This post is simply to find out if having a mobile app is something the community is open to - no matter who builds it.

https://vdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=66567&msgCountryID=0&rand=5027#chatboxanchor
spectators take a look at this game, how, and with how speechs avoiding solo. leeding with 25, solo win at 28, puts a ot of excuses to not even try a solo win. to want to draw with a 9, 4 and 3 centers power, just to exterminate an 8 center power, smells and looks like really friends game. the global chat is real the funniest!!

A Modern Europe Variant
So today I just discovered that "A Modern Europe" is actually just the Hearts of Iron 4 state map slightly edited. It's nearly identical, which explains why that map is so well made that it also works as a WW2 variant. It obviously would, if it was made using a map created for a WW2 game.

Has anyone else realized this as well, or is this just common knowledge?

Blocking players
If you click the little smiley face in another users profile, does that block them completely? Are they unable to join games that you’ve joined, or unable to join games you’ve created? How does that work? There were a couple of players in my last game who, for all appearances seem to be meta-gaming. It’s been reported but I don’t know what, if any, action will be taken, and I’d like to avoid playing with them in the future.

Sorry, I’m sure this is in the forum somewhere but couldn’t find a way to search for it. Why don’t we have SoS scoring here? Someone in my game talked about it like it used to be an option here.

Why does Rome on Classic have a few red pixels on the corner of its supply center? No other center on the map has this.

Also, am I analyzing the map way too much?

Supported attack on a space failed, no backfill from opponent, confused
https://www.vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=66161#gamePanel

I’m playing as India, my last move I made a supported attack on Borneo, Borneo had no support and tried to vacate with their move, but also failed. I’m guessing my fail is tied to that somehow? I can’t understand why the move to Borneo failed though.

CuriosityDip - My Rules-Discovery Variant
I designed and commentated a one-shot variant where the players had to figure out the rules as they went along: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MYyc3sicAo

Posting this here because although I figure this can't really be run again (since people now know the rules), vDippers might be interested in the concept.

Alt Accounts
Due to the lack of a sandbox, I want to make alt accounts to test specifically the Imperium variant, but other variants as well. I noticed webDip has a relationship tracker to show alts, but I can't find a similar thing on here. Is it not on here?
Meanwhile, I'll just name the alt accounts Shadow-alt then a number so it's clear

Sandbox-type option?
Hello- I'm teaching a younger gaming club to play Diplomacy. We would love to play some variants, like those offered on this site. To streamline the game, I use the Backstabbr sandbox to adjudicate our turns, and I wonder if there is a way to use this site to do the same on a variant map. Is that an option?

Europa Renavito team game but color coded
Call me crazy, but I have an idea. Ive seen team games done on this map before and they are pretty fun. So I thought up a unique twist to it, all the teams are color coded! (Mostly)

So i went and spent an hour putting together a rough idea to what it could be. 6 teams, relatively evenly spread out, and coded to colors with a few exceptions. Afterall where do you put Morocco the only orange country?

How to use the edit map features
Where is the how to for the map info and view code button? The zip files are empty, the edit mode automatically switches itself off, and I can see map files with => in front of them that aren't showing up on the variant list. Are these maps unfinished? Did I miss something that answers all these questions when I went to the FAQ?

webDiplomacy and vDiplomacy - Thoughts
I just looked at the site rules, and I saw in some of the sections a declaration that this website is called webDiplomacy.
Does anyone know why is it? And if it's the same founder, why these two sites are separated? it just makes them both be with less players, although I'm playing in both of them, in the past I knew only about webDiplomacy.
