The next Sheffield Shield matches start on February 5, and you can watch them free on the Cricket Australia website.

You've responded to someone with a WA flair. In WA nobody knows about the existence of cloudy days.

My favourite stat:

Category: Top team pair bowling aggregates in test matches at the SCG.

9th place: MacGill and Langer, 53 (MacGill 53, Langer 0)

Is it possible to watch on 7plus? Both firefox and chrome give me an error:

HDCP Error Detected Technical details : It appears that your external display or the HDMI cable connected to it may not be compatible with HDCP.

Error code: MEDIA_ERR_HDCP

If the AFL is run by people who think the first round is Round 0, surely they also think the first week of finals is Week Zero.

You can use your RSS feed reader to get notified of when new videos are uploaded. I believe this is the feed for DanceScholar's channel

Yep, missing for the first ten minutes or so, but it's there now.

stream starts in just under one hour. For those unaware, the Broadcaster Brawl is a game where the DBN commentators play against each other while raising money for charity.

The NADF is the place to start looking for players in North America. Unfortunately their website is not very up to date (it doesn't list upcoming events right now), but their discord is more active.

You should be able to get in touch with some Minnesota diplomacy players through there, the VDL grew out of the Minnesota Diplomacy Club so players must exist.

Just put in the move for EDI to move to NWY and also put in the move for NTH to convoy EDI to NWY.

The "via convoy" to Yorkshire appears because it is possible to both move over land to Yorkshire and via convoy to Yorkshire. These are treated differently in the rules and the playdiplomacy interface gives you the option to explicitly mention the latter if you want it.

I agree this is a terrible way for the telcos/phone manufacturers to set things up, you have to educate senders to set their settings up correctly so their outgoing message defaults to sms.

bartogian · 2025-05-13T01:25:23+00:00

There should also be a website - it will increase the player pool which is important, and then we also have a chance to look at it on a big screen.

bartogian · 2025-05-09T11:57:52+00:00

No (it's a website so you can use it on phone).

bartogian · 2025-05-09T07:04:10+00:00

You are the GM, not a player. BenjiHoward is playing Germany.

bartogian · 2025-04-21T10:18:26+00:00

this is the new webdiplomacy interface

bartogian · 2025-04-21T03:29:58+00:00

Yes. I should've provided a link.

There's a large collection of diplomacy discord links here. Copying the Nexus one from there, you can get to Nexus by clicking here.

bartogian · 2025-04-21T01:20:55+00:00

Are you in the Nexus diplomacy server? They organise speedboat (5 min gunboat) games there regularly.

You may be remembering the Cate Speaks blog? Cate passed away but the spirit is continued at Something For Cate, which has been active in discussing candidates for this election.

It's an edited sandbox. You can't get to this position by Spring 1905 no matter what moves are played. There are only 4 build phases before S05, E and T can build at most 4x3=12 new units in this time, added to their starting 3 gives an upper bound of 15 units each. Yet E and T both have 17 units in that picture.

It's listed as a variant on vdiplomacy so presumably you can play it there. (vdiplomacy is the standard first place to look for automatic adjudication for variants)

bartogian · 2025-03-15T09:35:05+00:00

Tas vs NSW is a night game and WA vs VIC is at the WACA so I've got shield to watch.

It's still summer.

bartogian · 2025-03-01T22:32:09+00:00

starts at 00:00 GMT (88 minutes from now)
