Diplomacy

No. By design.

Though depending on how this press issue shakes out, we may have to restart. I'm looking into it.

Hrm, I have never played a game of Dip where everyone has a hidden identity...

I'm game for it.

[marrowick]

So I take it that movement phase is doubling as diplomacy phase?

[Dad_Scaper]

Yes, that's how it works.

It's called "gunboat." It's standard, on the judges.

So the name of the game is "agentcarr," and you can watch it here:

You might have to register as an observer. The only press you should be able to read as an observer is "broadcasts," for everybody.

The press issue is resolved. We roll forward.

I do not see how to view the game as a spectator.

~Dysole, quite confident this is VERY LOW on the priority list

Just go here: http://www.floc.net/dpjudge/?game=agentcarr

and you can view the map, read results, and read broadcasts.

If there's interest, we could arrange for a private thread for discussion of the game. Then we could have running commentary on what we're seeing. It would be set to "private" so that eliminated players could join us, and chat about their experience playing.

I've participated in similar exercises before where all the private press from the powers to each other was also piped into a private room. I think that might be a bit much, but if we wanted to do something like that, I could curate some private press into a private thread. Then, like I said, eliminated players could join us for chitchat there, as we threw tomatoes from the peanut gallery.

Thoughts?

The private thread sounds like a great idea. However if the private press is shown through that thread it would be possible for someone to act as a spy for a player that is still in the game. Not that I would accuse anyone of such an act. I am merely pointing out the possibility.

[Dad_Scaper]

I won't do it, then. I don't think anyone would tamper, but I certainly wouldn't want the existence of such a thread to interfere with a player's experience of the game.

Carry on.

Is there a link on the site that gives you the rules for how to play or should I just google it?

[Dad_Scaper]

The rules can be found here.
