dc505 Game Start! - Githraine   (Aug 12, 2014, 2:07 pm)
Hey now,
It is all public information, I am just saying, you know?  WinkAnd talking about how poorly Warren and I have done in the past is (I hope) not painting targets.You on the other hand, did what we thought was nigh impossible.  You proved that you can solo this map!That should be celebrated!
And that has to be the oddest pre-game trash talk I have ever uttered!!!

Just like that we have a lineup change!  One newbie that was on the fence opted out, so the Hobbits will be played by the tall, dark and sinister Clark Landry.

Hey everyone,

My name is Phil and I'll be playing the Wizards this game. I've joined a number of games on this site, but it's my first time playing Haven. Not that I expect you to go easy on me! I'll be sending individual e-mails to everyone over the next day or so. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the game!

Here we go, the 8th edition of the Haven Diplomacy is about to begin!  Wow can you believe 8 games.  I've played in 2 of them and ran the other 6.  To put that in perspective, when I made this map I had one son and a new baby... and now, we have 4 kids, the youngest of which is turning 3 later this month.  My how time flies.  But I reminisce!  For this game is new... Our lineup has some seasoned veterans who have played in many of the past iterations (I think Warren leads the pack there having played in 6)... several veterans of the hobby who are new to this board, quite a few of my nemeses that I dread running into across the table, and a good mix of eager new players too.  Should be exciting! 
 
Here's your civilizations.  For the first turn, I require a set of prelims.  For simplicity's sake, just send them *now*.  Why not?  You can always change them later.  But I do like the first turn to be 100% in ahead of time. 
 
So by...
 
Wednesday August 14
 
Send me a set of orders.  Then we'll set the Spring 01 deadline officially at:
 
Wednesday August 20, 12 noon Central.
 
Once we are out of the first year, I will not hound people for orders.  Tho you should always use prelims, it is not required.  Please be aware of this!  I am notorious for just running a turn.  If you miss the deadline, your units will all stand around and do absolutely nothing, you'll rack up NMRs, and that is never a good thing.  You won't get invited to exciting new games, you won't be allowed to wear sunglasses that imply you're particularly cool, your friends will shun you, and someone else will beat you to every good parking spot for the rest of your life.  Don't let this happen - it's not worth it.
 
What else.  I think that's about it.  My usual house rules can be found here:  www.sims-family.net/dip/houserules.htm.  Read them thru when you get a minute.
 
If you have questions about the map, be sure to ask.  Whether it's about the wrap, the islands, the rivers, the underworld, the eternal build centers, whatever.  Knowing the map is pretty key to winning this game!  Or even more importantly, it's key to not getting wiped out by a move you didn't expect because you didn't know it was even possible.

Here's your civilizations.  For the first turn, I require a set of prelims.  For simplicity's sake, just send them *now*.  Why not?  You can always change them later.  But I do like the first turn to be 100% in ahead of time. 
 
So by...
 
Wednesday August 14
 
Send me a set of orders.  Then we'll set the Spring 01 deadline officially at:
 
Wednesday August 20, 12 noon Central.
 
Once we are out of the first year, I will not hound people for orders.  Tho you should always use prelims, it is not required.  Please be aware of this!  I am notorious for just running a turn.  If you miss the deadline, your units will all stand around and do absolutely nothing, you'll rack up NMRs, and that is never a good thing.  You won't get invited to exciting new games, you won't be allowed to wear sunglasses that imply you're particularly cool, your friends will shun you, and someone else will beat you to every good parking spot for the rest of your life.  Don't let this happen - it's not worth it.
 
What else.  I think that's about it.  My usual house rules can be found here:  www.sims-family.net/dip/houserules.htm.  Read them thru when you get a minute.
 
If you have questions about the map, be sure to ask.  Whether it's about the wrap, the islands, the rivers, the underworld, the eternal build centers, whatever.  Knowing the map is pretty key to winning this game!  Or even more importantly, it's key to not getting wiped out by a move you didn't expect because you didn't know it was even possible.

Greetings,



I thereby dub the young knight, Sir Jason "Snowden" K - seeing how
he is leaking all kind of information all over the Heaven.  I would
offer him residence in my cozy establishment, but it seems like he
has a country of his own ... at the moment, anyway... and I guess
it's just as well, considering the number of odd looking creatures
with very sharp objects roaming the surface and guts of our Mother
Heaven.



I wish you all well and hope you will stay away from the traps...



Ilya the brave Gnome

Special abilities are not in play!  That was only for the first run.  The Samurai were later renamed to the Shades for thematic reasons...

Sorry if this is already listed somewhere, but what is the Shades special ability? The only copies of the rules I can find are older ones with Samurai instead of Shades.

Hi all,
Good to be in! I've had some internet problems here and just seen the game start, but I'm very happy to be involved! I'll be in touch with people ASAP but, given I'm working 7.30-10.00ish in a children's residential holiday centre (and will be for the next two weeks), I'll probably only be able to talk to neighbours initially.
Let the chaos begin! =)

Special abilities are not in play!  That was only for the first run.  The Samurai were later renamed to the Shades for thematic reasons...

Sorry if this is already listed somewhere, but what is the Shades special ability? The only copies of the rules I can find are older ones with Samurai instead of Shades.

Hi all,
Good to be in! I've had some internet problems here and just seen the game start, but I'm very happy to be involved! I'll be in touch with people ASAP but, given I'm working 7.30-10.00ish in a children's residential holiday centre (and will be for the next two weeks), I'll probably only be able to talk to neighbours initially.
Let the chaos begin! =)

It's easy.

When you use RP, enable "Edit Map" (you find that, as said, under "Map"Wink.

You can remove units, place ones, alter control and such.

That way you adjust for that railroad rule.

Try it out. If you have any further questions, let me know.

One of the optional rules for the Colonial map is the Trans-Siberian Railroad, which allows a Russian army to move anywhere between Moscow and Vladivostok in one turn.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to edit maps, and would have no way to adjust the variant to do that.

I'm not familiar with the Railroad rule.

But I imagine you could use the Colonial module included in the Realpolitik package and edit the map whenever necessary to account for that railroad rule. The "Edit Map" functionality is to be found under the "Map" tab.

Does that help?

Hi folks,

Forgive me if this has been asked somewhere in here, because I'm sure it has, but is there a Realpolitik Colonial variant that allows use of the Trans-Siberian RR? Or do I need to use another Judge for this?

As a GM, how does one volunteer for new games to run? Is it done on the site somewhere, or does it need to specifically requested from the Mods?

Looking for 6 players to test out a revised Europe 1615 Diplomacy variant. Information about the variant can be found at http://www.dipwiki.com/index.php?title=Europe_1615:_Version_3. Thanks for your attention.

This has me wondering: How would Standard play if say the victory criterion were set at say 12 SCs...?



Hm, one of the geographic aspects I enjoy about Diplomacy is that it utilizes the geographic choke-points. Sure, they increase the chances of a stalemate, but they are an intricate part of geopolitics.
I'm not sure how I like lower victory conditions as 12 in Standard doesn't even control the map by defacto. 18 is largely the stalemateline +1 or so and defacto control of the map.

And with powers threatening a solo much earlier, this also creates greater diplomatic instability.



Personally, I don't like Milan because it takes away from the Austrian-Italian relations. It takes much more negotiation, and the very thing that creates trust rapidly is also a key to treachery or the stab. I think Milan trades geopolitical instability for geopolitical stability.
It also emphasizes the threat a conquerer from either side can utilize that adds to the instability.

Personally, I don't see it as a masochist exercise; I see it as an objective with a high challenging standard.
I will say that dangling the carrot in variants certainly would help players to be weary of momentum-tempo, balance of power, and etc.

Indeed. If our enjoyment were tied to winning, Diplomacy would be a masochistic exercise (since the whole setup makes winning rather rare).

But the direction of our game ought to be none other than victory. The tough challenge. Rather than the path of least resistance.

It's how the game is meant to be played. And it can only truly shine if everyone subscribes to this.

Incendentally, I've designed my variants (1648, 1936) with an eye towards promoting soloism. The victory conditions are much lower than Standard's 50%+1. Indeed in the 9-player 1648, it (currently) clocks in at 25.8%.

So I'm dangling the solo carrot very much in front of players. Whittling down the board in favour of a draw becomes a dangerous prospect, as such efforts will nudge players ever closer to the magic solo number.

And with powers threatening a solo much earlier, this also creates greater diplomatic instability.
