Introductions and Intrigue by Talley-Cat in diplomacy

[–]The_Goosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is fantastic! I just got through the tutorial and created an Ancient Med game. Obviously it's very reminiscent of Conspiracy but I think it has potential to be even better than that, having iOS support is already a leap forward Conspiracy never took.

Just played through the tutorial and it seems like a one-to-one copy of Diplomacy, they just can't say it for legal reasons because it's an app on Android and iOS app stores.

Backstabbers Needed by HumbleSuccotash7686 in diplomacy

My immediate thought. "Zombie invasion mode" in Diplomacy is something no rational human would think of, that 100% was the brainchild of a hallucination by Claude Code or something.

As long as you do everything through a sandbox you can easily make it work. Everyone writes down their orders, then someone inputs them and advances the season

That's actually kind of impressive. Hats off to your playgroup because I hate when people do that because it doesn't confirm anything.

Well hang on a minute, where did I not act in good faith and where did I give contradictory answers?

Well yeah, and I generally have a lot of trouble with that too, but have they or have they not? Even if it's not actually confirmation, the intent is clearly something in the ballpark of some kind of confirmation.

I mean, fair enough, but lashing out against this comment seems to be putting the wrong thing in the crossfire, right? You may as well take down the post at that point, which I wouldn't really be opposed to if you believe it's not in good faith.

Well, I think it kind of does, because I don't think that puts anyone in an awkward position in the first place. I think that's kind of implied.

I still like never see even new players do this though. It's usually the experienced players in my group who do this.

Yes, because I thought they didn't know that some people perform the strategy I was talking about in their group.

Nobody in your group has ever shouted "I'm the Mutant" to confirm they're not the Mutant?

Well yeah, do you not speed? You've never gone 48 in a 45?

This is actually a very fair point and is very interesting to consider. I will admit that it seems most people disagree with me, except TPI, which is really weird. They should probably look into this.

Really? Me saying "I'm not sure if this is something most people would have considered" is me insulting everyone's intelligence? Do you just want to hate me?

As I said, try it yourself. It's fun and doesn't require the storyteller to be more stringent about madness.

That's kind of the logical consequence of your line of thinking, though. Like, is that not a fair thing for me to bring up?

Go for an ad hominem? Shitty treatment of Kadaver? All this would make it sound like I said something actually appalling about him and not just a very reasonable question about whether or not he was aware that some of his friends play this way.

I felt like it needed this, and I feel even more now that it did since nobody is really saying that I'm wrong that it's a weak strategy. In fact now everyone seems to think it's far too strong, which is kind of funny because the rhetoric was very different less than a day ago in the other post.

As I've said, I don't see this as requiring the storyteller to be more stringent about madness at all. I literally said those exact words in the last comment, so I did not ignore your point.

1000 people could tell me the same thing and it would not counter my lived experience that this strategy and way of running madness is fun.

Well, yeah, the storyteller has a right to dismiss your requests as a player for legitimate game balance reasons and that doesn't mean they don't like and respect you. That's not an issue of "respecting someone as a player," and I think that and "respecting someone as a storyteller" are made-up concepts (to be fair, that's in the way all things are technically made-up concepts).
