Newspaper Game
A while ago, some players in threadID=80668 discussed playing another Newspaper game. Meanwhile, more than 7 players have shown their interest to participate in it, but no consensus on the specific settings of the game has been reached yet. I have created this thread to set up the next Newspaper game and discuss its settings.

limited number of games
I can only be in 2 games at once since I'm a new player on vdiplomacy, however I've played a lot of diplomacy and know how to play the game. It should include the number phases you have taken on normal diplomacy while determining how many games you can be in.

Game number 28
I've been analyzing the ratings of some players recently (Yoshimon, ksindelar, and I), and I've noticed a really odd pattern. In each of our 28th games, we've suffered a major drop in rating, but our ratings quickly bounded up in the 29th game. Is this a coincidence?

Returning
I last played, like... 10 years ago. Was watching D&D video where the guy talked about this game, and I remembered, "hey, yea, that was a lot of fun. I remember kicking ass with California!" Not sure how many people still play this? Started up a new game to go fetch some of that nostalgia.

Additions to New Game Rules?
I've been noticing that Oli has been more active recently so I wanted to bring this idea up again. People were wondering if variants such as Grey Press or Fog of War could become rules that are applicable to to all game modes rather than just the classic map. This could be done by adding them as options when creating a New Game. It would make for some very very interesting games in my opinion

Age of Pericles
In the "Age of Pericles" variant, the map clearly shows that Euboeius Sinus and Thermas Sinus border each other (top right). However, the movement between them is apparently not possible; this is confirmed by looking at the map info. However, given that the map shows them as clearly in contact, isn't this a mistake?

WWII Tournament
I would like to start a tournament. I've seen the Known World and 1v1 tournaments, and those are great fun. So why not apply it to World War II? I'm still working out the details, but I'll post some details.

Yeah, I can only play gunboats.
Maybe the group stage will be gunboat and the knockout rounds will be full press.

Also, it will be one game at a time. I'm hoping to set a specific day to start every game, (spectators) for example start the first game in every group on the same Monday.

Suggestion on rules. Don’t divide by vPoints Make it random. Looking at vPoints of respondents here I’m not sure it’s reflective of ability enough to use here. (AE how do you win 44% and have a lower rating than me?)

Usually, super-high win percentages come from playing 1v1.

I was up in the 1150-1250 range, but lost some massive rating points in the late winter and spring, as I didn't have much time for vDiplomacy. School gets annoying that way. Now, I have time. I came back with a 948, and didn't like that much. I'm up to 982, and still don't like it much.

@Finkey I do play quite a bit of 1v1, and I think my win percentage would be around 30% without including 1v1.
RULES UPDATE: Group stage games will be gunboat, while knockout stage games will be full press.

For scoring: five points for having the most SCs, four for the second-most, and so on. Zero points are given for a defeated/resigned/conceded player. In addition, three more points will be given for a solo and one more for a draw.

The tournament will begin with ten people! I have to amend the rules slightly, and I'll make a new thread for it. Main points: IRL friends aren't an issue, as it's Christmas break. The ten members will need to vote on groups being sorted by rating or randomized.
ALL RULE CHANGES LISTED HERE:

No knockout stage: just two groups and a final. The top two from each group and the third-place finisher with the highest point total advance to the final. IRL rules are null and void. View above comment. No new thread.

SCORING:
Most SCs—5 points
Second-most SCs—4
Third, fourth, and fifth most—3, 2, and 1 respectively.
Solo—five points
Two-way draw: 3
Three-way: 2
Four-way: 1

Odds of survival: 3720 to 1

Everyone, please post in this thread whether the two groups should be sorted by rating or randomized. Once a majority is reached, (6/10) I will announce the groups and the tournament will begin.
Second voting topic: Rated or unrated?

My votes: Randomized and rated.
I don't see myself in your shortlist, but you said to vote...
Just in case I'm blind or it's a mistake, I'll say rated and random
Ah crap. Nuclear Surok, you will be the first alternate. I'm really sorry about that. TWCBSD was before you. If someone drops out, Surok is in.

Randomised.
Mildly prefer rates but not if that’s an issue for anyone
It's 3-0 for randomized and rated at this point.
