This was one of the least interesting games I’ve played online. My first real game on Diplicity and what a disappointment. Diplicity is, first and foremost, an app. However, I accessed most of this game through their website. I’ve looked at it before and not been impressed. However, while I was waiting for a gameContinue reading “Diplicity Game: “Give it a Try” – AAR”

Diplicity Game: “Give it a Try” – 1903
Winter 1902 ended as shown above. I’m England; I’ve no opposition in the west and north. I’m on 8 SCs and it’s only the end of 1902. It’s a dream… or a nightmare. Well, OK, not a nightmare but I’m beginning to wonder just how enjoyable this game is for me. I mean, yeh, fine,Continue reading “Diplicity Game: “Give it a Try” – 1903″
Diplicity Game 1: “Give it a Try” – 1902
The image above is the situation after Winter 1901. As a reminder, I’m England. France, having gained 3 SCs in 1901 didn’t order any builds; Russia NMRed in F01 and didn’t enter a build, either; Germany NMRed in S01. I didn’t believe any of them were still in the game. So, where did this leaveContinue reading “Diplicity Game 1: “Give it a Try” – 1902″
Diplicity Game: “Give it a Try” – 1901
I started a game on Diplicity in late January 2024. This was a trial game for me. I’d played one game on Diplicity before but didn’t stay in the game long because others didn’t stay in the game long. I got fed up with it. When I’ve finished the game, I’ll write a review ofContinue reading “Diplicity Game: “Give it a Try” – 1901″
Evolve to Survive
In the first two issues of 34 I’ve examined articles from Richard Egan and Stephen Agar on the state of the Hobby. Here, I give my assessment of the Hobby today and the future. Does the Hobby still exist? Is there a future for the Diplomacy Hobby? Questioning the viability of the Hobby is something that manyContinue reading “Evolve to Survive”
Game on Diplicity – Intro
I was hoping I’d be writing about a game on Playdiplomacy, frankly, but that’s proving hard to get going. Playdip seems to have problems, at the moment. It isn’t too long ago that Playdip was taken down by… let’s call them hackers although it wasn’t really hacked as such. It wasn’t down too long, andContinue reading “Game on Diplicity – Intro”
Have you read ’34’ yet?
No, you haven’t. I know you haven’t because it’s not out… yet. While I was recovering from my second stroke I was thinking about this brilliant hobby around Diplomacy. Yeh, I know, I do that a lot, probably too much, if I’m honest. But what else was I going to think about..? Well, OK, IContinue reading “Have you read ’34’ yet?”
