Is England* vs Turkey truly balanced?
The stats spread on England* vs Turkey is innocuous enough. England* wins 55% of games which do not end in a draw, Turkey wins 45%. England is favored, but not to the extent that Turkey can't win; the game is not balanced, but it also isn't drastically skewed either way.

However, I have recently encountered an opening from England that I'm struggling to counter as Turkey.

I've been Boursed!!! 2016
Hi all, when Amby and I were recording our recent podcast (diplomacygames.com) the topic of Bourse came up, and I got really excited and thought that I would try to get another game of this variant running...

Bourse is a game that runs 'inside' a game. Essentially you are buying and selling stock of a power in the game that is running. Speculation and misinformation is encouraged between players, buying into good solid stock can see your net-worth increase, but beware! If a country is eliminated from the game than that country's stock is reduced to nothing. Play large and win big on the stock market!

The rules are:

1) A Diplomacy Bourse is associated with a Diplomacy game, and runs parallel with it.

2) Any number of players may participate. Each begins with 1000 units of currency of each country in the game: Austrian Crowns, English Pounds, French Francs, German Marks, Italian Lire, Russian Roubles and Turkish Piastres. All currencies are equal at the start, each being worth $1 US. Throughout the game the value of currencies is expressed in Dollars.

*However due to the nature of vDip the players themselves will compete in the variant, so if there are 10 players who want to give this a shot then Modern will be the variant played

3) Orders are in two parts, buying and selling. Players may never sell more than 500 units of any one currency at one time, but may buy as many as he may afford. Any surplus after purchases may be retained as a Dollar balance against future purchases. There is no limit to the number of dollars that may be withdrawn from this balance at one time, but it may never go into deficit.

4) Each time 100 units of a currency are sold its value in relation to the dollar drops 1¢. Thus if in the first season the total of all orders results in 500 more Marks being sold than bought the price of the Mark for the following season would be $0.95. Each time an aggregate of 100 units is bought the price rises similarly by 1¢. Only complete multiples of 100 units affect the price - thus if 299 more Marks were bought than sold its value would rise by only 2¢.

5) Each season the GM will list who bought and sold what, old and new prices, players' holdings and Dollar surpluses, and their net worth.

6) When a country is eliminated from the Diplomacy game (i.e. when its Winter supply centre holding is 0), the value of its currency drops to zero and all trading in that currency ceases. Other than this, the value of a currency may never fall below 1¢. There is no upper limit to the value of a currency.

7) When the associated Diplomacy game ends, each Bourse player's "Victory Points" will be calculated as follows: for each currency in which he has a holding, the number of blocks of 100 units of currency multiplied by the number of supply centres owned by that country in the Diplomacy game. Thus if Turkey wins with 18 centres, with France on 14 and England on 2, and a player has 6000 Pounds, 10,000 Piastres and 4000 Francs, then his VPs would be 120+1800+560 = 2480. The GM will endeavour to maintain running totals of Victory Points during the middle and end game.

8) Orders may not be made conditional. If orders are incorrect or illegal, the GM will adjust them in accordance with what he discerns to be the player's wishes. Players are asked to check adjudications for errors, since the Diplomacy game will not normally be delayed on account of Bourse errors. Players are also requested to include details of their calculations with their orders.

_______

Additional rules for making this work:

i) I will be the GM on the board for the purposes of publishing the results
ii) The GM will not pause or extend the game, this is up to the players themselves and the vote buttons are there for this purpose
iii) I will make a spreadsheet available to each player (or they can make their own one for the purpose of the game)
iv) Retreats and builds are encouraged to be saved until the results of the Bourse is published, then they can be finalised
v) Players will PM me their Bourse orders, given that I won't be an active player on the board, only GMing the Bourse.

Welcome Lukas and YCHTT.

I think running more than one Bourse game at a time would do my head in at the moment, that's not to say we can't get another one up and running at a later date. I'm happy to GM the bourse on whatever map you guys decide upon. KW901 was a success the last time around and provided for heaps of opportunities to manipulate the market. Let's see how many people aign up and make a decision on what variant to play from there:

Phase length?
kaner406 (2181 D Mod (B))
25 Sep 16 UTC
I suggest a minimum of two day phases
With the market, I think 2 days is a minimum. Might want to go longer.
kaner406 (2181 D Mod (B))
25 Sep 16 UTC
Three days would be better, as it would allow me a little bit of time to compile and publish the results of the bourse, factoring in the fact that the game will likely take place in a timezone different from mine. But as I said 2 days would be the absolute minimum for this to work.

Force drawn games
Games with fixed end year are (for ranking purposes) treated like solo victories for the power with the largest SC tally (even when PPSC scoring is used). Is that intentional? Not that I think it matters much to me, but I do find it rather odd, it would seem like the more logical approach would be that they are treated as force drawn, or possibly use affect ranking differently depending on scoring system used.

To Everyone in Furnace of Affliction
I'm really sorry, as I was trying to fix the Indonesia Build bug the game sent everyone into CD and cancelled itself. This was because I forgot about another bug - if you enter all holds, it counts as an NMR even if saved, so when I tried to advance the game 2 phases it assumed everyone had NMR'd twice (even though I'd set hold orders for everyone).
