Oli won.
On Imperial Civilization's off-topic thread (link inside), there was a brief stint of Second to Last Person to Post Wins. Now that the thread is closed, Oli won.

But how can I share it on this website? Or are there any other discussion communities for the game Diplomatic?

In an effort to compromise the pro-ads versus anti-ads for games: Post here for your non-live games to cut down on the number of ads but still advertise games. Post game link, WTA or PPSC, and the bet. Note: this doesn't count for special rules games.

FYI, as soon as I posted my last reply in threadID=3555 (about "Winning"), the thread disappeared for me. I can now only view it logged off.

This is a conspiracy of marmot proportions! But seriously, it is odd and doesn't bode well for the future of the Forum.

Is anyone else having issues with rating? I just finished a game on Empires and Coalitions and dropped 150 points despite being part of a 4-way draw. Would love to hear if this is just a me problem, or if other people are experiencing this.

Hi! i started school so i won't be able to play, can someone be nice and replace me in this game? send me your userID!

Call me crazy, but I have an idea. Ive seen team games done on this map before and they are pretty fun. So I thought up a unique twist to it, all the teams are color coded! (Mostly)

So i went and spent an hour putting together a rough idea to what it could be. 6 teams, relatively evenly spread out, and coded to colors with a few exceptions. Afterall where do you put Morocco the only orange country?

Hi,
I recently got a new job that makes communicating on vDip a lot harder and more inconsistent. I'm trying to get out of my daily games since I'm no longer adequately to talk to other people in that timeframe. I've sent a message to the mods, and they've OK'ed it, but need a replacement player for each game. One of them is gameID=67173, where I am the QQ. The other game is an anonymous game. If you are willing to take over, please send me a message.
Thanks,
JG

我该如何尝试举报？我怀疑有小号或者游戏外的通讯。我玩的一场比赛中，英国和法国展现了极高的协调与合作。我看不出他们事先在游戏里讨论过。如果没有，我觉得非常可疑，因为法国拒绝与除英国以外的所有人沟通，而英国表示他可以说服并决定法国的态度。我明确询问了奥匈帝国、土耳其和德国，大家都说法国从未回复过我们任何一个。

Hello! I'm new to vDiplomacy, but have played on webDiplomacy for a little while. Joining because I'm interested in making a custom map based on the Theros setting! Hopefully it works out. :)

I remember talk once of a game where there was one player who was the King, several loyal Knights, and several traitorous Knaves. Instead of normal Diplomacy, the goal of the uninformed Knights was to protect the publicly known King, and the goal of the Knaves (who all knew each other) was to eliminate the King. I was curious if anyone knew how this game was organized, the ratio of Knights to Knaves, etc. because I have a group who is very into social deduction games who might like this concept.

Is anyone interested in taking over a game for me? I have a decent position and no official enemies. It’s a known world game and I am Spain. The game name is Once More With Feeling.

Is there a forum search feature for older posts?

DBN has just released the August 2026 of its monthly news show, Deadline. This episode includes breaking news about the merger of two leading press tournament Discord servers, an interview with New York hobbyist Peter Cook about the recent Brooklyn tournament and about his fascination with Shakespeare, and headlines from around the world of Dipomacy.

Hi everyone, Still getting familiar with everything here.

I'm okay with variants as long as the gameplay doesn't deviate too much from the original.

This thread is made for the express purpose of cutting down of multiple threads that deal with new variants, ideas, concepts etc...

Sorry, I’m sure this is in the forum somewhere but couldn’t find a way to search for it. Why don’t we have SoS scoring here? Someone in my game talked about it like it used to be an option here.

If you're interested in navigating regional African disputes along with complex negotiations with Western powers, or perhaps vying for control of the continent through both negotiation and force, check it out! If you don't have a ton of time to commit, the map has tons of small (2 sc) positions that get to experience the intrigue without tons of units. https://discord.gg/8JtuVQAGBj

I can't post the map here but trust me it's big and beautiful!

New to this platform, is there a way to have the game advance before the deadline if all powers have put in their orders?

June 2026 Deadline was just released on DBN, featuring a panel of younger players promoting the upcoming Youth Diplomacy Championship, an interview with Eber Condrell about all things Nexus, and headlines from around the world of Diplomacy.

Article I wrote a little while ago covering 14 advanced Diplomacy maneuvers, that I wanted to repost as a useful reference.

Reposting this two-part article I previously wrote for The Briefing on alliance busting. The original version is no longer accessible, and it felt worth preserving.

I have been a diplomacy enjoyer of many years despite being fairly new to the site. I work in cybersecurity but have a solid foundation in development, and would like to make a mobile app to supplement this wonderful website. This post is simply to find out if having a mobile app is something the community is open to - no matter who builds it.

Latest edition of Deadline has been released on YouTube, featuring an interview with Justin Loar about the 2026 edition of his Diplomacy Trading Cards, a retrospective on 40 years of Dixiecon, and headlines from around the world of Diplomacy. https://youtu.be/Nmk3iK6ZBhA?si=S0Xa6I_-woMznqag

spectators take a look at this game, how, and with how speechs avoiding solo. leeding with 25, solo win at 28, puts a ot of excuses to not even try a solo win. to want to draw with a 9, 4 and 3 centers power, just to exterminate an 8 center power, smells and looks like really friends game. the global chat is real the funniest!!

So today I just discovered that "A Modern Europe" is actually just the Hearts of Iron 4 state map slightly edited. It's nearly identical, which explains why that map is so well made that it also works as a WW2 variant. It obviously would, if it was made using a map created for a WW2 game.

Has anyone else realized this as well, or is this just common knowledge?

If you click the little smiley face in another users profile, does that block them completely? Are they unable to join games that you’ve joined, or unable to join games you’ve created? How does that work? There were a couple of players in my last game who, for all appearances seem to be meta-gaming. It’s been reported but I don’t know what, if any, action will be taken, and I’d like to avoid playing with them in the future.

Why does Rome on Classic have a few red pixels on the corner of its supply center? No other center on the map has this.

Also, am I analyzing the map way too much?
