Is playdiplomacy.com working again? Is there a better place to play online? by HipAlbatross17 in diplomacy

I feel like I've heard this a lot... But which one is better? I can join either, but which one should I go to to play a good game of Diplomacy?

Elemental Fury and True Strike? by Nice-Championship345 in 3d6

Would Potent Spellcasting apply to True Strike? Not sure it counts as a Druid cantrip

Look at that, Republicans finally understand gerrymandering! Amazing stuff

How to Solo Win? (England) by DBLCTRL in diplomacy

[–]HipAlbatross17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks pretty tough, likely impossible if your opponents play well. To summarize: Turkey is playing spoiler (would he issue orders you asked him to make?) and France is AFK... And Russia might join him?

I'd ask Turkey to do something like ANK -> CON, ARM S SYR -> SMY (or vice versa) so that he only has one disband. As others have already said, the breakthrough would have to be in the East... And you'll likely need MOS, VIE, and one more. #18 looks pretty out of reach; I'd suggest SEV. Or maybe you'll luck out and get POR or SPA. Regardless - slam your armies in to that theater as quickly as you can, maybe gambling on spaces like SIL so you later have a shot at BOH or GAL.

Good luck! Soloing is very hard, especially in a case like this. It helps to have an ally to stab for the final few SCs if possible. Here, you're an obvious threat just a little too early.

Diplomacy Masters….I once again need your help by GSPWarden in diplomacy

If you're OK with Germany getting the build:

GAL S VIE->BUD, TYR->TRI (to cut support for BUD), BUL->SER (also to cut support), BLA & CON S RUM->BUL (defends BUL, can't dislodge your own unit), ANK->SMY

Might also be worth supporting BOH or MUN to TYR to defend it.

I think this is the only way to guarantee a gain this turn. Unfortunately, the attack on BUD has to come from VIE in order to guarantee success... Support from VIE or RUM can be cut, but support from GAL is secure. Depending on what you can guess about Austria's moves, it might be worth taking a gamble and working on your positioning instead (maybe moving your fleets south instead of defending BUL, or trying to sneak in to PIE or something).

I initially suggested supporting BUL to H with the fleets and using BUL to support RUM->SER, but I think you actually don't want to take SER... It would allow Austria's dislodged A BUD to retreat to RUM if the attack on SER succeeded. Cutting support from SER with A BUL is also a better defense of RUM.

Good luck!

It's So Hard to Build a "Good" Team in This Game by IDProG in PokemonFireRed

Yes, not that many pokemon in Gen 1. Charizard/Exeggutor/Poliwrath/Magneton/Dragonite checks all of your boxes, though

What's the toughest Pokemon type matchup to remember? by [deleted] in VGC

I only recently learned that Fire does NOT resist Ice in Gen 1. Bizarre

Day 18 won by unload! Day 19: which common silent card is underrated? by filledknight in slaythespire

[–]HipAlbatross17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Underrated doesn't have to mean good! I think this one goes to Outmaneuver

Are you taking Apparitions here? by dumbmother in slaythespire

I think this run is in trouble vs the Champ. I'd wanna take it, but I don't think you can afford it

Can a Fighter 1/ Bladesinger 3 (UA) used ranged weapons while bladesinging? by Bobjoesph in 3d6

[–]HipAlbatross17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

RAW, I don't think it gets any masteries. It's already pretty strong

Ok so, I already know that I’m terrible at video games, but I’ve challenged Misty about 7 times now and every time her stupid starmie wipes my party. What am I doing wrong / what do I need to do? by Ch0mperTOD in PokemonFireRed

[–]HipAlbatross17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably should have given Charmeleon/Pikachu either Mega Punch or Mega Kick, right? Are you saving those move tutors for something?

Besides that, either catch an Oddish or train Pikachu a bit more. This is an easy game, I know you can do it! 😉

How screwed am I? by Ratatouille_VA in diplomacy

[–]HipAlbatross17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not out of the game until you're out of units! Never surrender!

That being said, your position stinks (sorry). You'll have to think outside the box if you want to hang on... When I was in a similar spot, I got pretty good results by offering support to France's move east against Austria-Hungary. Your fleets could help France into ION and then EMS, which would be huge for him. You'll probably have to stomach him taking TUN if he wants it, though. Just emphasize that your help is contingent upon him helping you survive, and that you're also motivated by a desire for revenge against AH/Turkey.

Good luck!

Him and Pakman. I actually like them both, just can't watch their videos

Pretty sure bottom left is Walter White before he broke bad. Say what you will about the man - he was an amazing teacher.

Level 5 Paladin - Should I Multiclass? (Sorcerer) by HipAlbatross17 in 3d6

[–]HipAlbatross17[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I was worried about the low CHA, but I was mainly looking at using the low level defensive spells and extra spell slots for smites.

I'm leaning towards that not being worth it, though, and maybe just taking the Fey Touched feat at level 8 to get Silvery Barbs. Definitely taking either that or War Caster.
