I think they have one of these for WebDip, so I figured I might as well make one for VDip too. Post on this thread or send me a PM with your location (no need to be precise with this - you can just give a nearby city if you want to) and I'll add you to the map.

Hello. Just signed up because I wanted to ask some questions.
What are the differences between vDip and webDip? Why do they look so similar? Was there a schism somewhere along the way? Are they two separate sites; can I have an account at each? Opinions of webDip?
gameID=13235 This was one of the most irritating games I have ever played. I was Spain. I posted a thread a few weeks back about being aware of SCs needed to win. This was the reason.
Are you like me and had people describe the NBA Finals to you as the "old" Spurs against the "young" heat? There are exactly three players on the Heat's 15 player roster who are younger than the mean age of the Spurs 15 man roster. The median aged Spur is Tiago Splitter. For the Heat it is Udonis Halam. Five year age difference for those of you scoring at home.
Hello everyone, I've been developing another (very different) variant on the lab. This one is Europe during the First Crusade. I'm starting my first test game so I need 6 others to join. The link is here http://lab.vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=94 Tell me what you think and join up!
here's the game url. Germany is crippled, but your entry could turn the tide... not gonna tell you which side to pick, but I think it'll be clear what choice must be made. good luck.
Stemming from the recent thread re: cooking recipes, I came up with an idea for a game. This is directed particularly at Guaroz, mainly because he expressed interest in the culinary arts, and hails from Italy; however, the offer is there for anyone else who might be interested. Please read below.
stuffed peppers is an easy and delicious homestyle dish.
My recipe: stuffing: 2 lbs ground beef (add some chorizo for zest) 1 cup jasmine rice 1 egg 1-2 Tblspn Worcestire sauce 1 diced onion 1/2 can tomato paste splash V-8 juice feta cheeze optional but good salt, pepper, fresh herbs (sage/parsely) (mix in bowl)
1. stuff green bell peppers (or hot Hungarian wax peppers), place in oven roaster 2. pour large can V-8 juice over top, throw dollops of tomato paste/ (stewed tomatoes optional) (peppers nearly covered with sauce, add water if necessary) 3. add 2-3 full sprigs of parsely (+1-2 speared jalapeno or chiles optional) 4. cook covered about 1.5 hrs @ 400-425 (turn halfway) 5. uncover, cook 1/2 hour until meat/peppers/rice cooked and plump 6. let sit at least 1 hour (the toughest part) 7. Serve w/ mashed potatoes and chewy bread, top with sauce 8. Enjoy!
So it was freaking awesome!!! We had some friends over and they were like...wowww these are so good, I made a few modifications though. Added cheese to the mashed potatoes and did use the jalapenos..just diced em insead.
also...peppered em at the end. so...freaking...good.
@ Guaroz: If chorizo is not available where you live (a crime in my eyes), look for tasso ham, or even hot soppressata. If those aren't around, smoked paprika can be used to spice it up too.
I make a dish similar to what Raro has above, but sub ground lamb and lentils for the beef and rice. Also, just to note, cook the beef mixture in the peppers until it has an internal temp of 165 degrees.
above is an excellent recipe that I use. the paste will last a good two months in the fridge, so you can get multiple meals out of it.
slice up some chicken breast and saute it in a large pan. add coconut milk, bring to a boil then simmer for a few minutes to let it reduce (thicken up) add the paste to taste.
on the side, blanch some string beans then add to the mix. serve over rice.
I am leaving for my honeymoon on Monday and have recently learned I will have no internet connectivity while I'm gone. I currently have 5 open games: Alcavre, Mystery Diplomacy, Celtic Britain, Indians of the Great Lakes and Colonial 1885 (though I expect Mystery Countries and possibly Celtic Britain to be resolved by monday).
If anyone will do me the favor I would appreciate it. I don't want to CD in my games and I have never missed a turn.
About the Italian Rinascimento variant, it's one of my favorite variants and definitely one of the more meticulously made ones, but "Tyrrhenian Sea" is misspelled :/
gameID=14376 Autumn 1903. Notice that three units (Sevastopol, Black Sea, and Wales) were simultaneously ordered to Armenia, none of them under support. The move from Wales succeeded; the others did not.
This should be considered an error and bug-checked in the Ankara Crescent variant.
On a suggestion from PE, I am interested in finding those people on this site who like to play competitive Diplomacy - the way it was first created. No pre-arranged draws, no unbreakable alliances...play to win, just like the objective says.
hi! i will be away during the next weekend, including friday, and i am afraid i wont be able to charge my smartphone or get internet access otherwise...as i have quite some games, it would be nice if two or three of you could take over for the time :)
Please, new request : units sorted by alphabetical order on the orders sheet.
I am playing my first Modern Diplomacy II game and I have had the HUGE pleasure to notice that my units are sorted by alphabetical order on the orders sheet !
It is so much easier and clearer to find my units that way ! Would it please be possible that units are sorted by alphabetical order on the orders sheet in every variant ?
