Openness: As a sculptor views an uncarved slab of marble with an open-mind, so does a new player view a game of Diplomacy. The history of the game unwritten, the paths it will take and the shape of the results lie in the future, to be known only after the contest is completed.

Hi Everyone,

I am new to the site, but not new to hobby and had a question. I have played one game on the site thus far (dc142) which contained not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 abandonments. Is that par for the course? I certainly hope not, but I was wondering what the average number of abandonments is per game here?

I just started a world dip game (195) and I really like the variant, but I am concerned that the game will be adversely affected by civil disorders - nothing can ruin a game or give someone an edge like an untimely abandonment.

Also, i was wondering if there is a punishment for abandoning a game or a limit to the number of games a player can play at once (leading to a potential abondonment due to time constraints).

Thank you,
Steve
