how are we going to enforce board game diplomacy rules? are we only allowing 1 army per space?

Count me in, I've got a copy of Diplomacy in my closet but have never found ppl to play it with me since it takes all day and my friends have jobs.

Should we use this map?

would like to join if any slots avail

Room for me? Looks nice, and those of you I've played with are excellent sportsmen.

@wifiknight: Sportsmanship doesn't win this game, I'm afraid.

@Adolf Hitler: Are you still alive?

I'm terribly sorry I just got caught up with so many things and forgot to check this

Please do not get booted in your game

Thank you for joining and have a good time

I will start the games as soon as I have time

*IMPORTANT! READ THIS! THE LEAGUE HAS CHANGED!*
Remember, there doesn't have to be one single winner.
Apart from the first game, all games will have 4 players.
Each game will have points distributed as follows:
All non-booted players get 20 points
One player wins - 300 points
Two players are left, and VTE - 150 points each
Three players VTE - 100 points each

Two boots in a row loses 100 points
Three boots in a row and you're outta here

There are 5 pools of 5. The top player in each pool advances to the final.

Sorry, I can't make the games because I can't do local deployments.

Some feedback from the game that I am in – https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=11769470

I think that the base income should be set to 0 rather than 5, for two reasons:
1. 5 base income is very strong when it is local deployment with only one income for each bonus.
2. It makes it more realistic, as the armies have to come from the command centres and cannot spawn 'randomly' out of nowhere.

I say these things knowing that I have never played the board game before, online or in person. However, based on my WL experience, I think these changes could/should be made.

Yes, that was a mistake, Gan. Future games will have income set to 0.
Thank you for the feedback.

Ok I have changed up the point system for the league which is as follows

Winner - 10 points
2nd Place - 6 points
3rd Place - 5 points
4th Place - 4 points
5th Place - 2 points

2 Players VTE - 7 points each
3 Players VTE - ( Player with most income gets 4 points ) ( other Players get 3 points )
4 Players VTE - ( top two Players with most income gets 3 points ) ( bottom two Players get 2 points )
5 Players VTE - 2 points each

Booted Players - 0 point
Players who decline the game - 0 points

BOOTED
1st time - gains 0 points
2nd time - loses 5 points ( gets a warning )
3rd time - removed from the league until after the championship that season

DECLINE GAME
1st time - given a warning to accept or leave the league
2nd time - removed from the league until after the championship that season

Anyone can join the league at any point of the season unless you were removed

So game one is over, games 2 - 4 have started and I am not sure what's happening with game 5?
I'll confess at first I wasn't sure what I was doing in that game, but it hit me like a brick and I went on to win. I personally think that the points should reduce by 1, apart from for the winner....bit I am certain that others won't all agree.

Adolf, the problem with your points system is that you get more points for coming second than making an alliance.

Better ^.^

It's an improvement, but I think we should go with your original plan but without any points for coming second/third/etc
