Google a strategy guide. Don't play it like risk. Don't trust anyone, at all, ever.

Strategy is : betray your allies before they betray you. Turkey and russia are better.

>>9699646
Aw crap. I just texted someone a while ago that if she wanted to talk a possible alliance, I'd be all ears.

I FUCKING HATE THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>9699677
Alliances are necessary. Betrayal is mandatory.

>>9699677
what makes me nervous is that I haven't gotten a reply yet.

may have played a hand too early.

>>9699654
turkey and russia are better, because they are more defensible?

>>9699703
that sounds like an amazing tagline for the game, honestly.

>>9699707
NO

russia is better because it's fucking russia dude...

This is a game that ends friendships and causes knife fights.

I don't know how to finish my turns ;_;

this thread is now about stories of how diplomacy ruined our friendships.

I heard henry kissinger was really into this game.

>>9699830
who?

>>9699748

Are you playing ONE game of diplomacy, or several? Because, frankly, if you're playing ONE game, all bets are off, it's crazy, you're going to get fucked, and fucking people first is mandatory. If you play several games with the same group, you'll get to know how the other people operate, and the meta-game means that it's in your interest to never fuck an ally in the first few games, or always tell an ally when you break alliances.

Why? Because you will develop a reputation as the Trustworthy One, and while everyone else is backstabbing the fuck out of each other, you highly increase the chance of profitable alliances. Until they last game, where you absolutely RAPE your poor, stupid, trusting allies.

>>9699836
My mistake, Dr. Henry Killinger.

I wonder : is france really as good a position as it seems to be ?

>>9699857
That's better.

>>9699818

You don't get a turn. There is only one turn, Everyone's Turn.

>>9699874
THAT'S WHY I LOSE

IT IS A FRIENDSHIP DESTROYER!

This is not a joke, you will come out of this game hating people and possibly as an actual murderer.

>>9699861
Maybe that's why france is historically a very tempting target.

>>9699903
YES!!

and /tg/ shall help you plot victory! thus you have the greatest upper hand available!

>>9699903
Heh, who would have thought two people on /tg/ are taking the same course.

Make sure you bring your magical murder bag with you during each session.

Diplomacy is odd in that there is no randomization. Everything is strategy.

To those who have not played (why are you reading this thread) here is the basic jist of how the game works.

You have land units and sea units and each one can move one space per turn.

You can have a unit support another unit in any action as long as the territory it is in is touching where said unit is going (or is stationed if it is to remain and the other unit is to support defensivly).

You write down all your orders for your units and everyone reads out their orders and goes at once, there is no dice rolling at all.

Units take territories based on how many units they have supporting them, ties always result in nothing, also failing to give orders to a unit means it sits there and does nothing for a turn.

You make more units through depots that produce them every turn or so (as long as they are unoccupied, it's been a while so I don't remember exactly how it goes). If all your home depots are captured you are out of the game.

In the end of course there can be only one winner (unless an alliance decides to forfeit after beating their allies which is basically quitting the game before it is done) so no matter what you don't want your allies to get too powerful because they will become enemies later on.

>>9700022
Not unless I am throwing monkey wrenches into your plans. All it will take is one thread and a move or two and you will be undone.

>>9700022
Flattery will get you everywhere.

>>9700054
That sounds brutal.

>>9700097
so does a baby fuck. but its awwwwwright

>>9700059
>>9699994
I don't think you are who you claim to be.

>>9700097
The really brutal part is being brow-beaten for 40 minutes by aggressive "friends" who try and convince you how your current alliance is fucking you up the bum and it would be best to betray them. Knowing full well that the longer they can keep you outside the room the more doubt they can generate from the rest of your alliance and so even if you don't betray them the whole thing has served their purpose anyway.

So, fa/tg/uys, if I pledge my fealty to you, will you lend me your power and lead me to victory?

>>9700132

This is why you talk to people who you're actually allied with via notes, or, now I suppose, SMS, and you only get seen with the people who either can help your cause, or whose cause you need to hurt.

A lot depends on turn duration, as well. Short turns make things mega-brutal because coordination is hard and avoiding being seen collaborating is next to impossible. Long turns make plotting much easier.

>>9700185
Just a question. Relevant to my interests, is all.

>>9700149
We will, but if some other player come and read the threads, you'll be fucked.

>>9700195
I think that's an excellent question that I'll pose to the professor, the duration of the turns that is.

>>9700180
Fucking, saved.

>>9700213
does it matter? It's not like its cheating and /tg/ keeps to itself mostly so the odds of another player who doesn't know of us won't know of us for a good (possibly forever) time.

Squa..Friendship Broken!

Dip is a fun little game, but Republic of Rome was made by people that found Dip too simplistic.

>>9700239
The odds are low, but the problem is not cheating, it is that (y)our plans will be known.

>>9700209
I've yet to determine how to answer this question, as the only person I know in meatspace that could POSSIBLY browse /tg/ is mad at me, and for fairly good cause since I've been an immature fuck for several years (just in case you are who I think you are, this is me apologizing and prostrating myself).

>>9700213
Honestly, the only others in the class who I feel would pose a challenge to me have probably never heard of 4chan.

>>9699942

Pay attention OP. Your lessons just got started. You know that brief spike of paranoia you had, just before you rationalized that this person couldn't POSSIBLY be telling the truth? That feeling is now your new best friend. Experience it at every movement, at every message you get from an ally/sucker, at every shift of the board.

Play every turn with this level of paranoia. Because if you don't, your ass is getting shanked.

>>9700232

The two big questions are duration of turn, and whether the class will be playing multiple games or one long game. They both change the dynamic a lot.

>>9700312
You could have just said 'Yeah, I'm from Chicago' and damn the consequences.

You will definitely enjoy this game.

>have probably never heard of 4chan

you would be surprised. 4chan isn't a secret clubhouse any more.

Oh god, the intrigue is already killing me.

Hey, /tg/, what's you first moves for each starting position ?

>>9700365
Granted, but I take the quality of an individual board is directly related to it's obscurity.

I can already feel the difference in powerlevels between here and daytime /a/ and /b/.

And...yes, I'm from Chicago. This thread has become a lot more...real, all of a sudden.

>>9700419
That guy that said paranoia is your new best friend? Listen to him.

>>9700438
Duly noted.

You, Piedmont, 1901, make it happen.

You, A beer, Spring 1906, that's when the game starts.

>>9700443

So, you go to Wilbur Wright College, right?

>>9700419

For the record, and so you'll learn - the fact that you were reticent to say whether you were from Chicago already gave you away. If you hadn't been, you would have denied it immediately, because there was no reason not to - knowing you come from Some Other City is not information you'd bother to protect.

Therefore, you paranoia there was ineffective. You need better paranoia.

>>9700373
I second this, as it's actually relevant to my interests.

>>9700503
Actually, I believe my first actual mistake was using a familiar trip/online persona.

my second, was mentioning my professor's name.

my third was the reticence. at that point, I recognized that I had been had, so there was not much to do at that point.

Right... so someone knows you are from Chicago.

I think someone here has a friend who is also involved in this game.

So any secrets in this thread (and likely future threads) are compromised.

Consider playing this to your advantage.

You are now aware that every piece of advice might be someone else in your class, skewed ever-so-subtly to lead to your doom. Manually.

>>9700373
Turkey / Russia - You will always move into the Black Sea, one needs to make an agreement with the other to ALWAYS go into the Black Sea and bounce each other out. Once one side looses the Black Sea, they are out of the game.

France / England - Create a "no fly zone" in the English channel, if your opponent moves a fleet into this god forsaken crater destroy them, it is a declaration of war.

Italy - Venice to Piedmont, Rome to Tuscany, Naples to TYN

Russia - SVP to Black Sea (see above), Warsaw to Silesia, StP to Bot take Norway at all costs.

Turkey - Ankara to Black Sea (see above), Smyrna to Aegian, Con to Bulg make the Balkans your bitch.

And having learned from the Chicago question, he realized that neither answering nor choosing not to answer would save him. The only winning move is not to play.

England - do not fuck with France; every game where the two try to fight eachother ends badly for both. Demilitarize the English channel, but do it very carefully and always be ready to defend if France enters the channel, because that French fucker is going to backstab you. England has an easy time lasting long into the game but a very had time winning. Most Englands fuck around in the Nordic and low countries without ever getting anywhere: do that but be ready to convoy drop shit into Germany or Russia when they're weak. Don't forget that Norway and St Petersburg are neighbors by land.

inb4 OP becomes aware that Diplomacy players on /tg/ are backstabbingly cruel enough to stalk him online, find out the class, and offer to sell his plans and advice received to The Enemy.

despite my elevated heart rate here, I just have to tell you guys that I'm loving every moment of this.

I remember playing a version of this game in a history class in high school, except we made it cover the whole world. Everyone started in Africa and migrated across the world to the land they wanted to settle with random dice rolls. I picked what would later be known as Assyria and had to on a team all by my lonesome because fuck everyone else.

It is also important to note that the orders were dropped in a locked box and it was a turn a week. As it came to the climax of the semester the Greeks had gone nuts and taken over Palestine and Egypt and threating Rome and other Balkan states and I only had the time to amalgamate Persia. Short story I was horrendously fucked because they made deals with them and not with me. However, right after class when I was putting my orders in the box to fight the very best fight I could I spotted a slip jammed in the slot. With my own slip I fished it out, which was tricky because it was folded in half and hanging on to the lip of the slip inside the box just barely. In the slip was detailed all of Greece's orders for that turn. They had been manoeuvring to attack me, so I had the ultimate advantage. I made a deal with Greece's neutral neighbours showing how they were defending their western front that turn.

In one turn Greece got Raped and soon after destroyed utterly. I quickly took control of Egypt and Palestine and controlled the entire middle east by the end of the year when it came to its conclusion. I then told the people playing Greece why they lost (they just couldn't believe what happened) and there was much rage. Myself, I wish someone took a picture because it was the holy grail of troll faces I was wearing.

>>9700724

It is entirely possible you may like playing Diplomacy, then.

>>9700724

Me too.... DAVID.

>>9700712
Come to think of it, I'm taking a trip to Chigago soon...

France - do not fuck with England; every game where England and France fight ends badly for both. Demilitarize the English Channel slowly, but be ready for that English fucker to backstab you at any time. Invading Italy is easy, but takes forever. Invading Germany is faster, but England, Austria, and Russia will all want a piece of it. France is one of the strongest countries; if you can take the entire Iberian peninsula (don't let England or Italy tell you they need it) and secure at least one good alliance with a neighbor, you can do very well.

>>9700741
Stop guessing peoples names and attracting attention from people just passing by when they see their own name.

>>9700736
That, good sir, was enthralling.

>>9700638


Austria - Get ready for a hard game, you are going to be butt pounded most of it. Budapest to Rumania, Trieste to Adriatic do some sabre rattling with the Italians form alliance with them and Turks or Russians, Vienna to Tyrolia to take Munich or Venice in the Fall. Russia will roll up into your hood be cool you have to be the Austrian Fonzie and be cool.

Germany - Munich will rise and fall about fifty times this game, get used to it. Munich to Burgundy, Berlin to Prussia, Kiel to Holland. Denmark will also be a smoking crater by the end of this, give it away every chance you get because two years later someone will take it; shits like the Harrenhal of Europe.

France - Brest to the Midatlantic to take Portugal. See previous post about pissing in England's tea. Paris to Picardy for Belgium, Marseille to Spain. Turn two go back into Marseille with luck the Italians in Piedmont will think they are smart and roll in, bouncing you back into Spain and defending Marseille. This works great on new players.

England - Edi to the North Sea, make Norway your bitch, people forget it's connected to StP, LVP to Edi get ready for the convoy, London anywhere but the channel.

I love the mentality of "play diplomacy if you don't want to have any friends" because it makes me wonder what kind of weird ass people you guys hang out with that stop being your friend over a game of Diplomacy. Me and my buddies play it plenty, and the betrayals are always hilarious.

>>9700638
What about Germany and Austria? Just bend over and kiss your ass goodbye? Or make a pact with the other because that's literally the only way to survive the impending dickings from every direction?

>>9700773

I got my buddy, I will trust him with my car, my computer, and a months worth of rent; I will not trust that cocksucker with Belgium though.

>>9700787

Talk people into helping you gang up against the other. As an intercontinental country you are going to get ass raped so hard; you will literally have whole battalions up in there. Either get them to commit against the other guy, or lube up.

>>9700763
My pleasure, it has made my night maybe week just remembering that happened at all.

>>9700736

I would totally have picked the lockbox or stolen the key. And I would have defended that action as being in the spirit of the game.

In your case, I would have altered Greece's orders, and defended that as being in the spirit of the game.

Germany - being one of the middle countries sucks, but you're the least shitty one of them. Try to get Italy or England (or both!) to fight France; it's harder for you to invade than Austria and Russia. Don't trust England too much, because you're the only country they can invade remotely effectively. Try to get Turkey to attack the same country as you. If you get England/France to fight, Italy/Austria to fight, and Turkey/Russia to fight, which is an incredibly common way for things to play out, you're in an amazing position.

>>9700819
Nah the teacher was watching me do it. To prevent that from happened he would always take the box away after class with him to his house. Another awesome part his only sage words were, "Excellent."

>>9700858

Well, if the teacher watched you do it, I would TOTALLY have altered the orders. I would have turned to the teacher and said "These are the orders his troops are receiving, see?"

And we would have laughed together at that poor Greek bastard.

For the record, I'm bookmarking the easymodo thread.

you guys are the best.

and Nick (or Justin/Jessica?; Justinica?), I've been an immature and depressed prick for years. not much more I can say than that. but then again, I probably always say that.

I'm playing this with friends whentheyget back from college because of you, /tg/

how drunk will I need to get them to forgive me?

>>9700889

... what easymodo thread?

Austria - Fuck being Austria. You need Turkey's help to fight Italy or Russia. You will not get a decent chunk of Germany unless by a major backstab. Turkey is too far away for you to attack without getting raped, even if it's your "neighbor". The fact that Germany/Russia and Italy/Russia never happen is really the only reason you'll survive. You can probably last forever by dicking around in the Balkans, but if you get to that point it's unlikely you'll make a comeback. On the other hand, if you can last fairly long into the game without becoming a non-power, there's a ton of supply centers around you, so you can explode in size as soon as someone lets you.

>>9700890

Get them as drunk as possible, and secretly stay sober. That way you gain the advantage.

>>9700791

This.

>>9700887
I could have, but then that would have given away the opportunity to make them shit themselves by giving the impression that I was a massively superior strategist by countering and annihilating their overwhelming army completely. They would have got their last turns orders back to make sure they were followed through correctly and seen it was altered and not in their hand writing.

well this is how we game at our risk parties

cell phones out, mouths closed, poker faces on

2 hours later someone get run out of the house and thrown into the pool

2 more hours and the table get flipped and we all go home pissed

the next day is usually something like fumbly rumbly where we take out that agression on one another

i can only imagine diplomacy ending much worse

Avalon Hill had the license to publish the game for a long time, they collected a lot of stuff in a guide and sold it as a supplement.

Jesus H Christ, Edi Birsan is writing for WOTC now. That shit takes me back.

Any other Dip oldfags around?

>>9701021
My good sir, you are my hero. Should have gone for more though.

>>9701036

OH GOD THE PUNS, THEY COME ON THEIR OWN.

Italy - Statistically, Italy is the worst country. I'm sorry. If you last into the mid-game your chances of winning sky-rocket, but I suspect that's because only pros last that long with Italy. Don't convoy to Tunisia, just put a ship there: everyone comes up with that brilliant plan: it's shitty. If you use navies and concentrate on one side at a time, it's pretty easy to get a bunch of early supply centers, but actually properly invading someone will require armies. It's probably best to wall off your northern front with armies then swarm either the Iberian Peninsula or the Balkans with navies, and build an occupational force with the extra armies. The easiest way to defend your northern front is to get Piedmont and Vienna armied, then repeatedly do Piedmont->Vienna and Vienna->Tyrolia by convincing Germany to bounce an army from Munich off yours in Tyrolia. This stops Austria and France from attacking without naval support; Austria can support his own attack into Tyrolia to stop you, but it'll freak the fuck out of Germany and net you an ally.

>>9701045
>come

>>9701045

HOLY FUCK I CAN'T STOP.

>>9701021
If she was that desperate, should have held out for more.

Or just renegotiated the terms at the table, before you actually carried out the backstab.

>>9701078

"We have 15 minutes of anal, I give you support on Russian front."

>>9701107
"You're fucked either way."

Good god, where are you Chicago Diplomacy players? The north suburbs sucks something fierce for gaming!

>>9701078
Honestly if she was willing to do that, she probably wanted to give the blowjob anyway.

Turkey - Don't fuck around in the black sea; it's even worse than the English Channel. If you want to invade Russia, you need to flank the sea first. The shit you can pull in the Balkans is hilarious and profitable, but it'll piss off everyone. Fighting Italy sucks, but trying to fight someone else while Italy tries to fight you sucks even more. If Italy tries to attack you, get an alliance with someone and hopefully everyone will be glad not to have to deal with you. Pay very close attention to Russia's gains elsewhere, because he tends to grow in sudden bursts and can mount a fairly effective invasion with just two new units. An actual, stable Turkey/Russia alliance will wipe the board clean, but it'll never happen unless Russia's your fangirl or something.

>>9701107
Nah. Five in the front door, five in the back, five user's choice. That's the best deal to ask for here.

Now, if she wants enough foreplay to get her ready for it, that would cost her at least one supply depot.

>>9701044
>>9701078

That really was the renegotiation. I forget how we got there, exactly, but I said something like "you realize, the only way going to stick with this plan that long is if you fucking blow me." As in, not gonna happen. That led to "after game", which got her one round, at which point I pointed out that we both knew she was going to hang me out to dry, then not follow through. That got me the quickie BJ.

That got her another turn, after that I tried to push for more, got the feeling I wasn't making any more headway (haha), and threw her under the bus.

all this advice is golden. it's good enough for me to have missed fullmetal alchemist just now. (remember, f/a/ggot here).

>>9700272
Norway, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, Spain, Portugal. Why you can't simply fleet spam.

Russia - You have extra starting armies, and that's amazing. You're also huge and hard to defend, which is less amazing. Any way you can get an opponent off your back is a good one. Unfortunately, the countries you least want to tangle with, England and Turkey, are the most capable of a surprise attack. Do not let your opponents surprise attack you from Armenia or Norway. Germany and Austria will be eager to get an alliance, but will backstab you as soon as the other looks weak. Be willing to let them have Warsaw, it's impossible to be effective while keeping it properly defended; instead, just make sure you're always ready to counter-attack. Turkey is the best possible alliance, but you'll never pull it off.

>>9701243

You're welcome.

But seriously, all the time you have to think is a blessing and a curse. This game will EAT your brainspace. Be careful not to over think situations in the midst of RAMPANT PARANOIA.

>>9701179

You sir are wrong, the Mending Wall is specifically about Tukey / Russia and the Black Sea. Just tell the person you are going in there every turn. The moment he thinks you are not, or gets complacent you take it. No need to be enemies, just know that is what is going to happen. Russia is okay loosing the unit, and the Balkans are so rich with supply centers, Turkey is okay too.

That's it for country advice. Other (hilarious) stuff that's come up in the thread:

sexual favors - if someone offers you a blowjob or something, accept (assuming any moderate level of desirability). Keep your word on this - nobody is devious enough to offer you sex to help them and then backstab you anyway, and if they are, they deserve to win. Provide them with enough help to improve their situation but not enough that they can continue without you or provide a threat to you, then extort them for more. The more sex you get out of someone, the less likely they are to throw out that investment they've put into it.

alcohol - the "get everyone drunk and stay sober" method does not work. Get at least one ally to be sober with you. Play drunk by being agreeable and loud. Make loud fake plans with your fake teammate. Without a sober ally you turn the game into a crapshoot; if you have any skill it should be better than a crapshoot without the alcohol.

forgery - if you forge England's orders and turn them in at the end of round, that's bad sportsmanship and you should be kicked out. If, on the other hand, you forge England's orders, tell France that England let you turn his orders in for him as a sign of trust, and show France the forged papers, that's entirely legitimate. This same ploy works even better if England is in on it.

>>9701437
That is sage and hilarious advice. All of it, duly noted.

You guys rock. I'll be back in a few weeks and tell you guys more.

>Switzerland
>Not Conquerable
COME ON. SWISS NEUTRALITY SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE DISREGARDED

>Iceland
>Has movement path to it
>unconquerable

This is the shit I always hated about this game.

>>9701648
In a game without America to stage convoys with, who gives a shit about Iceland?

Just a pet peeve.

>>9701705
It's cool, bro.

I actually have a pretty good story with that. My very first game of Diplomacy ever I was playing with Italy, while at least three other players were fairly seasoned. Needless to say, I screwed up badly. However, I screwed up so magnificently that I still remember it to this day. I marched my army north and conquered a bloody swathe through central Europe as my foes were eating up my territory behind me. My army just kept moving, marching, and conquering all the way through Europe until my last province was Syria. Here's my path, best as I can recall.

that's pretty magnificent.

If I recall, Germany won by promising not to focus on the Russian front before invading Russia anyways.

Oh, I wasn't dismissing sex as a diplomacy tactic. I was noting that you suggest using it to build a long term relationship of trust, before betrayal.

>>9701895
Isn't that how sex works anyway?

>>9701895
Long-term relationship of trust? I'm really more suggesting using it to build a long-term relationship of abuse and extortion.

Your way makes me sound like such a good person. We can't have that; there's diplomacy to be done.

>>9701901
just don't bring that up during alimony.

>I'm really more suggesting using it to build a long-term relationship of abuse and extortion.
>relationship of abuse and extortion

Is there another kind?

>>9701915
To make abuse and degradation look like trust and love is the perfection of diplomacy.

Oh, /tg/, I had no idea you were so familiar with bedroom politics while remaining so utterly unfamiliar with sex of any kind.

So, I'll probably be back on some other saturday night.

goodnight, fa/tg/uys!

Lesson of the night:

Diplomacy is the art of getting a chick to suck your cock till a better deal comes along.
