Asking about the creators of Cold War
Hello, I am a long-time diplomacy player but a new member of this community and I wanted to know who created the now-infamous Cold War variant. Is it Firehawk and Safari, and if so, I would like permission to use their map on my own soon-to-be free-to-play Diplomacy app.

Speed Europa Retreat Option Fix
So I am in the middle of a Speed Europa game. I was forced to retreat from Barent's Sea and the options I was given were Iceland, North Atlantic Ocean, and Serbia. Siberia borders Barent's Sea but Serbia does not (as you can probably imagine). I retreated to Serbia thinking that maybe it was a typo and I would retreat to Siberia. But I did in fact retreat to Serbia, with a fleet! So if somebody knows how to fix this, that'd be great. The game name is: Speed Europa Gunboat

Variants to Include in a Printed Collection
Several variant creators in the community are looking to create a curated collection of variants. The idea is that groups in the hobby will be able to have this collection printed and shipped to them. That way, the hobby can have easy access to alternatives to playing modifications of the Classic board if they can't get exactly 7 players to meet.

More scoring confusion
We had a game end in a draw and the points split equally, but then no one's score (win or lose) changed. ie. I won 12 D points and my score went from 1571(v) -> 1571 (v). Since the help pages are "for our sister site and don't apply here", can someone explain what's going on here? ID: 59410

Our PPSC game scored as if WTA
Pot = 40 points. Three-way draw at 11, 14, and 15 SC.
Game is listed as PPSC, but awarded 13 points (40/3) to each person.

I'm not worried about the points, but if it's a bug I wanted to let y'all know.

So how ranking changes are calculated?
https://www.vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=58525
I soloed two times in Classic, and each gave me about 200 points, and this variant has 17 players, so I thought it'll be about 450 points or so. Now I get 861 points and reach #21. So how ranking changes are calculated?

Applying to be a mod for private games
Hi, I have introduced my colleagues to Diplomacy and we all love it. However, for the next time we play, it would be great to be able to play with faster turns, but pause it over weekends and evenings.
Is there any way to get mod privileges without taking part in dozens of private games?

ER Team Game Revival
Hey Folks! I was recently thinking about the Europa Renevatio Team game we did a couple years ago and I think we can do it again, better this time. Among the improvements, it may be ideal to determine the teams ahead of time and make them public so we can try to come up with a "balanced" set of 9 teams of 4. Would anyone else (err... 35 others?) want to give it a shot?

Any SEA Players? Newbie here looking to find some community!
Hey! I'm Alien, a player based in the Philippines (GMT+8). I got introduced to Diplomacy around this time last year, and I'm finally getting back into the hobby since summer is just around the corner. It's been a struggle finding people to talk to or play with since this hobby isn't the *most* accessible, and most of the players seem to be from the US and EU. Is there anyone from in and around the SEA region looking to link up and organize some games?

IA Map Bugs with New Variant
I've got a variant I'm adding called Incensed. In the playtesting, there are issues with the interactive map. Certain regions work just fine. But there are some regions that don't get highlighted or can't really be clicked on. I'm not sure what the issue is. Seems like it also depends on what browser is being used, too. Any variant creators run into similar issues or know what might be the cause/solution?

Vdip Local Meta
Hey guys! I'm curious what you guys think of the local meta here on Vdip, especially compared to other places (i.e. live-person tournaments, webdip, personal friend groups, other & etc.). I've never played anywhere outside of Vdip, having learned the game here and never expanding elsewhere, and I'm curious!

The Sandquest
So I've seen some players here go on some grand "quests" I'll say to play every variant on the site. I've decided I want to join the club and do so aswell, but I want to do so with some sort of cool "twist". Trying to solo every variant is a little impractical, and I'm not certain about something super simple like making them all gunboats. So anyone got some ideas?

Inherent Balance
I was thinking about my past games today, and I noticed a pattern: when I played or fought against a (mostly) sea power that started in the corner, that power tended to have the advantage because of their spawn place and unit composition on the map. Does anyone else feel like this is the case, or do you think that these types of powers are balanced?
For reference, I was thinking of Italy--Balkans 1860, Srivijaya--Known World 901, Madagascar--Africa, and Japan--Youngstown WWII.

It's certainly an interesting idea, and one I'd be open to playtest. I have one concern, that the corner powers might be a bit too strong. For example, you'd need to surround literally every single tile around Turkey to break into the country if the Turkey player orders their supports right. I'm not sure what could solve this--perhaps divide the neutrals into smaller SC tiles (e.g. TEH into TEH and SYR) or make the sea zones more numerous?
Hmmm, alright, thanks! I am genuinely interested in either making this one myself or maybe someone else would do it, but I need to it be rather fair (at least to some degree
Hmmm, yes, the African power also seems to be very easily stalemateable. I think a few problems could be solved with more Sea Tiles
I think I’ve found a solution:

I will make a Syria Supply Center, which will be directly connected to the Algeria Province. I will also make an Eastern Med Sea Tile, which will be directly connected to the SOG sea tile

Having this many SC's, you have to remember, that's the number of units that will be on the board. You're gonna end up with major stalemates.

This is a stylistic issue, but you should double-check the geography before you publish. The Spanish supply centers are totally off, for example.
@JECE yea I did it from memory, not too accurate lmao. That’s something I’d change if I decided to publish this game

Definitely a better map. I'd be interested to see which powers end up being the best one, and how the general gameplay feels. If you make a few test games, I'd like to play in them.
