Stalemate lines in Modern Dip
When they say (ie. Diplomacy strategy articles, etc) there is a Rostov-Caucasus-Iran stalemate line, they must also assume you also have control of the (Eastern) Black Sea? Would a Georgia-Azerbaijan-Iran line not be the same then? What would you need to control on the west side to make sure this line is effective? Also what is the Alexandria/Eastern Sahara/Ionian/Adriatic (articles only use 2 names but they're not consistent) line I keep reading about? Can someone actually describe this line?

WWI Duo?
It is in the offical diplomacy rulebook (mine at least) and seems to be a favourite setup for teamgames, is there any plans to make a WWI 1v1?

ClassicVS Debut/Oli, You Are My God thread
First: http://www.vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=2391
England/Turkey VS. I figured this might be balanced, England's proximity making up for Turkey's build superiority. We'll see.

Second: Oli, this is fucking brilliant and I love you 'til the end of time.

Strategy Question...
Is there ever a strategic reason to postpone a build? Instinctively, I say nay, but this game is so well conceived and elegantly thought out, there must be a reason that it's an option. Any of you seasoned generals have any notions?

It is proper etiquette to accept a draw if you are going to win?
For the sake of argument, lets say in a no-messaging game that all the other players have moved to draw and moved to traditional stalemate positions, but you still have a strong position to win with 10 scs and two weak neighbors.

Apologies
My noble diplomacy players, I would just like to apologize for my failure my recent 4 games, my Internet decided to die, and so i was forced to CD from all of my games. I will most likely be leaving for the summer, so better sooner then later. I wish i could have finished off my games, but seeing how I only managed to get on at the library, I will not be able to finish them. Espcially the WWI and II games that may be totally messed up now. Anywho, I will see you all in the fall

The if there is a fleet blocking the way then that fleet just doesn't arrive, which is a reasonable counter (I hope) to the invasion.

well, now that I used a coin to pretty much decide the nations I'm going to say that the game has started (kinda) (oops) (should of thought through that one) and make an added time deadline of the 17th.

Gamestart is Fall 1257 Builds

...if it is alright with everyone to have an extended deadline and start now, if not voice concerns please.

You can (and maybe should) or you can just PM each other and PM me orders, I reckon that can work as well. Just thought of it.
RoxArt (1732 D)
09 Jun 11 UTC
sorry 2 things:
1st I never said anything about wales but only norway! and maybe england but as my question is still not answered I do not play as is:
- is it build anywhere?
- the fleets coming in are blocked by units in that waters? that's idiotic because then if someone enters that waterspot those fleets can never arive? if I put him out, i'm there if not hes there so no real way to keep that spot free...

please clarify first...
and I do not want to play wales ;)

may after clarification drano is up to switch?
RoxArt (1732 D)
09 Jun 11 UTC
ah and where will the map be updated?
drano019 (2710 D Mod)
09 Jun 11 UTC
Rox -

I put down my preferences as Scotland/Norway. How do you figure that I'd be down for switching to Wales?
RoxArt (1732 D)
09 Jun 11 UTC
was just a question, however I will not play wales, my clear preference was norway and there It was not even picked by random...
england was my second thing but only depending on the building question however I would like to try norway, also after clarification of this fleet issue...

airborne (970 D)
09 Jun 11 UTC
Not build anywhere, you can choose what units you want to build on your SCs not just anywhere
Now that you point that out I'll revise the rules. Norway will just get 3 extra builds in 1263.
I have a friend that can play for France but, I rather have another experienced player
I'll redo the nation, sorry about that no deadline quite yet
Again you should pass out your emails or just PM each other on vdip

airborne (970 D)

No, the game hasn't started yet, just to clear things up
I'm going to add a bit of time for the first season
Ok...I'm pretty sure I address everything (for now)

I revised the rules again, it is build on any open SC, and the new Norwegian Invasion of 1263 rule is up
airborne (970 D)
09 Jun 11 UTC
"I have a friend that can play for France but, I rather have another experienced player"
Let me revise that, I had a friend that was going to play for France but, he's no longer going too, so France is open again.
RoxArt (1732 D)
09 Jun 11 UTC
ok once more: why dont you implement that map for vdip? it should not be a big thing as the map is ready or am I wrong? maybe someone will help? (I have no experience)
however we have to ask oli if there is a possibility to add the 3 extra builds...

for my preferences: I made up my mind... :)
1st preference: France
2nd preference: England

As everyone knows, team games are rather popular, however something I have yet to see is a team gunboat, were your not allowed to stab people, but your not allowed to talk to them either. Lets make it more epic with a team chaos gunboat. Thoughts?
