| When I grow up I want to be... a Troll? - ndeily (Dec 20, 2010, 5:20 pm) |
Consider me officially on the intro bandwagon.
Nathan Deily - first introduced to Diplomacy about 15 years ago in high school. Quite a lot of ftf and even light variant play at that time, and then got into pbem in college on CAT-23 and other places.
I was very excited to join Diplomaticcorp a few years ago and have played there fairly actively (in addition to some other new groups I have had the pleasure of being exposed to), very often because it affords the opportunity to try new variants and stretch my brain in new ways I can bring back to Classic.
I agreed to take over an ailing Hobbit position in the "Slaughter at Story Time" run of Haven and was rewarded with a long, slow, painful death in that game. Suffice it to say I'm looking to try my hand in a different corner of the board this time (or at least make my own bed before I have to lie in it).
Winter Blitz is the only tournament I've ever had the pleasure of playing in (2nd time in a row this past year, and very excited for my third run at it). Managed to get a 2-way draw in the first round but then got shellacked in the 2nd round... hope to see you all there as well.
One question for Mike - I gather this is not the "Fog of War" version of Haven, but just in case it is... can you confirm? That does have several important implicaitons. I seem to remember that "Slaughter" wasn't.
Nathan

Somehow that doesn't seem too common a request - but in this game you never know! Here is our final 19. Since we have a little time to kill, we can sit here and twiddle our thumbs, or we can bake some Haven Holiday treats, or we can turn in some preferences!
So I'm going to go w option 3. I don't in most games, but in this one so many have already voiced an opinion on what they'd like to play that I'll open it up to prefs. Each player should (ok, must - but I just hate laying down the law like that!) turn in a set of prefs, even if your preference is "I'd rather leave my future civilization which I will henceforth lead from infancy to world domination in the hands of the fates"... you should still turn something in.
If you would like your preferences to be more particular than that, you should turn in a list of at least 5. You can use the first letter of the civ name, each one starts with something different... like A E I O U... if your pref is to play the Archers, Elves, Ogres, Undead... or if you just have a liking for vowels. Note that would only be 4, not 5, since I is invalid, and I'd have to write you back a nasty letter requesting you pick a 5th one, thereby expanding your horizons beyond those of just vowels.
There's a lot of eager energy here, do you want me to assign powers and send out the player list pre-Christmas? I can do that if y'all want. First deadline still wouldn't be till Jan. I would only do this if everyone confirms they're ok w this and wouldn't be put out or left behind.
Note - some of you I know well, others are completely new. So intros are welcome too! Feel free to copy the group. Heck it'll pass the time. Like you know what I do in my spare time? I build w LEGOs. No - really. Some pretty big scale stuff.
Enjoy!

I may have but a single unit but am probly the only person to not have NMR'd or even used up my grace. What is the plan to end this game? With so many having to be ranted at just to turn in moves, I know interest in this game is close to nil. It's been a long sludge. If you all are not enjoying it, actively engaged, or getting some other satisfaction or enjoyment here, then what do you say we wrap it up? We have the Winter Blitz coming up, which requires lots of attention from us all, as well as several new games (like my Haven) starting soon.
How about a vote for a game-ending draw. Close the game, be done w it for the holidays then come back in 11 for the WB. Which all you capable diplomats should all be playing in - the prize fund is 50% higher this year w our official sponsor!

Hello all. I first started playing Diplomacy some thirty odd years ago against my cousin and his friends, including one fellow that was actually named Attila. (Yes, he was Hungarian) Usually these were face to face games with the board taking many hours.
I was driven to look on the internet due to a lack of interested players where I presently live. The hours are better, but I still like to push the little blocks of wood around from time to time.

I looked at the RP/RW files for DC193 & DC130 and Holland was doing quite well in DC130 because, I think, he saw his strength as a Pacific power and basically played as Japan.
In DC193 Spain, France, England, and China all combined against Holland - especially in the Pacific - he was pretty much doomed.
The current Holland has gotten a somewhat similar treatment - but looking at it now, it's not the variant, it's the player interaction; the diplomacy. Which is the intention, right?
Holland just requires some effort to play, but then I don't see any power as particularly easy in this one. There's some that may appear to the others as "too strong" which may attract more attention than they might want.
Maybe we can start up another one when DC342 is done to get more plays and better stats. Wanna GM that one? (I wouldn't mind playing in one.)[Reply] |

I kinda like Holland in it. In dc193, they went into CD, so it wasn't a fair playtest of Holland. In dc130, Holland shared in the final draw. So what's the motivation behind removing them? It's a fairly requisite balancing power that G.Br and France in check, no? That whole 3-way rock-paper-scissors dynamic seems important to that game.

Subject: Re: When I grow up I want to be... a Troll?
I voted to get the fun started sooner rather than later. Just by way of introduction, I've been playing diplomacy off and on since college (which I'm sad to say was 15 years ago). Played several PBEM games both on the judges and off. I've mostly stayed away from Variants until I found the joy of the DP point variants. Looking forward to hours of frustration and instants of anger
Good luck to all of you! |

Somehow that doesn't seem too common a request - but in this game you never know! Here is our final 19. Since we have a little time to kill, we can sit here and twiddle our thumbs, or we can bake some Haven Holiday treats, or we can turn in some preferences!
So I'm going to go w option 3. I don't in most games, but in this one so many have already voiced an opinion on what they'd like to play that I'll open it up to prefs. Each player should (ok, must - but I just hate laying down the law like that!) turn in a set of prefs, even if your preference is "I'd rather leave my future civilization which I will henceforth lead from infancy to world domination in the hands of the fates"... you should still turn something in.
If you would like your preferences to be more particular than that, you should turn in a list of at least 5. You can use the first letter of the civ name, each one starts with something different... like A E I O U... if your pref is to play the Archers, Elves, Ogres, Undead... or if you just have a liking for vowels. Note that would only be 4, not 5, since I is invalid, and I'd have to write you back a nasty letter requesting you pick a 5th one, thereby expanding your horizons beyond those of just vowels.
There's a lot of eager energy here, do you want me to assign powers and send out the player list pre-Christmas? I can do that if y'all want. First deadline still wouldn't be till Jan. I would only do this if everyone confirms they're ok w this and wouldn't be put out or left behind.
Note - some of you I know well, others are completely new. So intros are welcome too! Feel free to copy the group. Heck it'll pass the time. Like you know what I do in my spare time? I build w LEGOs. No - really. Some pretty big scale stuff.
Enjoy!

Hello all. I first started playing Diplomacy some thirty odd years ago against my cousin and his friends, including one fellow that was actually named Attila. (Yes, he was Hungarian) Usually these were face to face games with the board taking many hours.
I was driven to look on the internet due to a lack of interested players where I presently live. The hours are better, but I still like to push the little blocks of wood around from time to time.

Consider me officially on the intro bandwagon.
Nathan Deily - first introduced to Diplomacy about 15 years ago in high school. Quite a lot of ftf and even light variant play at that time, and then got into pbem in college on CAT-23 and other places.
I was very excited to join Diplomaticcorp a few years ago and have played there fairly actively (in addition to some other new groups I have had the pleasure of being exposed to), very often because it affords the opportunity to try new variants and stretch my brain in new ways I can bring back to Classic.
I agreed to take over an ailing Hobbit position in the "Slaughter at Story Time" run of Haven and was rewarded with a long, slow, painful death in that game. Suffice it to say I'm looking to try my hand in a different corner of the board this time (or at least make my own bed before I have to lie in it).
Winter Blitz is the only tournament I've ever had the pleasure of playing in (2nd time in a row this past year, and very excited for my third run at it). Managed to get a 2-way draw in the first round but then got shellacked in the 2nd round... hope to see you all there as well.
One question for Mike - I gather this is not the "Fog of War" version of Haven, but just in case it is... can you confirm? That does have several important implicaitons. I seem to remember that "Slaughter" wasn't.
Nathan

A good guess, but no. The Elves, along w the Leprechauns, are by far the worst performers in Haven history. Rounding out a performance score of 0 (zero!) they have never even survived to the end, getting eliminated in all three games to date:
