Interested in organising a game for folks interested in playing other big hitters. Not sure what the cut off should be, but would be good to get a mass of quality players interested and then we'll land on a general consensus if some aren't as big hitters as others.
I started this account so I could join in games set up by my school, but I didn't realize that I needed to model my username after specific formatting, so now I'm stuck with a username that doesn't fit the guidelines of the setup. does anyone know how one could go about changing their username on here?
Here is the map. They’re trying to fill a fourth match: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1201263855062487120/1208887389854892122/Imperial_Diplomacy_-_Version_1.png?ex=65ee259d&is=65dbb09d&hm=41f342eeff473278464101b30bc129465f5da9450ac5087d085421f7adaa354c&
[Speed Europa variant] moving from Burgundy to Ruhr should not be possible
Hello,
As noticed by Tyran (user ID 2518) in the game "Wolf Pack v3" (game ID 58137) armies may move from Burgundy to Ruhr and vice versa (see the Map info tab of the variant's page) while the map doesn't say that. Maps on the external variant homepage also, so I suppose it is an error in the code, not the map.
Newest Deadline show just released on DBN. This month we have an interview with North American Diplomacy Federation President Zachary Moore, a panel on what is Hot or Not in the hobby, and headlines from around the World of Diplomacy. https://youtu.be/UMbW_NWWmfo?si=cMiv9HGwzfN4mWFT
Hey everybody. It was about time someone organised another cross platform Cold War tournament.
The tournament will be played wherever the players agree to play. Which means vDip will be hosting games. I have made a rule set on discord: https://discord.gg/kKnAuHN6kM - if you do not like discord I will communicate via e-mail. I will post updates here.
IMHO a really great new variant with many options, constantly fluctuating balances of power, both fleets and armies with power, sensible offboard movement that makes stalemates hard.
Episode 70! Have we really made that many podcasts?!? This show we interview prolific Diplomacy blogger Brother Bored who publishes everything you ever need to know about playing gunboat.
We also discuss the growth in people playing online (spoiler did you know 4 years ago there was only 500 active players here at vDip and now its over 1300?) Plus Kaner discusses the Scottish Clan Wars variant.

Appreciate the variant shoutout! Especially loved when you guys were trying to guess what that powers were :)
Here's the answer key: Orange - Israel Hot pink - Aram-Damascus Crimson - Phoenicia Blue - Egypt Light pink - Nubia Gold - Phrygia (that of King Midas with the golden touch) Turquoise - Urartu (Urar-who?) Light red - Assyria Purple - Babylonia Yellow - Elam
It was a lot of fun researching the countries you don't learn about in school even though they were in some cases just as important and interesting as the ones you do.
Loved the mention, but I'm not a dude... I thought I'd made that clear with my opening message of "Yours sincerely, Her Exellency, Tsaritsa Macca of Russia." But I guess not.
I mean, "guys" has very solidly reached the point where it's a gender neutral plural, so I could see something similar happening with 'dude'.
On the other hands, 'guys' is very neutral as a descriptor, while 'dude' is charged with connotations, so unless you're confident both you and the audience agree those connotations are positive (or it is your intent to give offence), it may not be the most appropriate descriptor.
...on the other hand, if you're the type to use it unironically at all then it's probably a fitting self-descriptor, at least.
I'm not of fan of using either "guy" or "dude" as a gender neutral term. "Guy" started out as a man's first name, and then evolved into a generic word for a man. "Dude" was a generic word for a man all along. So, they are both masculine terms, and not any better than the generic "he" that started the whole gender neutral argument about the English language somewhere around 50 years ago. I think "they"/"them" remains the best option.
Dude, in my experience, refers to those in a certain group of people. There's not really a fixed/consistent definition, but it's essentially those who aren't overly concerned with authority, most commonly school or such - not necessary actively opposing it, but rather ignoring it.
Guy is masculine, guys is referring to a group of people that does not have a large female majority.
Latest episode of the podcast has just dropped at https://diplomacygames.com/media-wars-wrap-up/. We talk with CaptainMeme, Brother Bored & Legendary Tactics about the Media Wars game.

I've got some very good positions in a Europa Renovatio and a Colonial 1885 that I'd like to unload. Excellent opportunity for some shiny V points with no risk. PM me for details....
Going through an unexpectedly busy period at the moment and can't really pay full attention to all of my games. I don't want to keep spamming extend or pause requests so I was hoping someone could take a couple of gunboat games off my hands. Only solid positions, including one board top. DM if interested!
A country has taken the accounts of two other powers in our game and is now controlling three countries. How can we report this player “Akim” for Multiaccounting?
