I'm just here to play games.

Who are you?

It's all fun and games until it becomes serious business.

You never had batswag Ogml. Nice try.

DIPLOMACY CHAOS

Hey all! I'm here to gauge interest in a Diplomacy variant I could run. (Which coincidentally happens to be my all time favorite game) It's classic chaos which means it's 34 players and everyone starts with one center. It's a game of political intrigue! Negotiation, Strategy, and Tactics are all important!
The rules are really simple, and the only difference from other diplomacy games run here (other than number of players) is that all press will be

public press only

.
(It makes it a lot more fun, and makes it a fairly low time-consuming game.)

For those who never played diplomacy before, the rules summarized are:
- You get as many armies/fleets as supply centers you own. (supply centers being the dots)
- Armies and fleets can move or hold where they are.
- They can also support the movements or holdings of neighboring countries.
- In order to overpower a place, you need more support than the opponent.
- (And Fleets can convoy armies across the sea)
- Trust no one; they could be lying to you.
Full rules here: http://www.backstabbr.com/rules
Game ends when one player has 18 centers, or when all remaining players want to draw the game together.

The main roadblock to this is getting 34 players, so I want to see how many would be interested (Are there even 34 mish-mash players here). With it being public press, it doesn't take long to organize with whichever alliance group you're in each turn. (If you can get part of a group ) The elimination rate is very high until the midgame so there's a good chance you'll be out in a week anyway.
The best way I could describe this is it's a shorter survivor game without the small-talk, replaced with tactical talk.
Here's an example of a previous game.

Awesome! 17 players might work too. We'll see. Anyone interested can PM me, and I'll see if we get enough.

[Fluminator]

Lol! Med evac island.
Looks interesting.

[Fluminator]

Blood vs. Water could be cool. I've always wanted a hydra survivor, but blood vs. Water would work better probably.

[Fluminator]

Dibs being with Snakes.

[Fluminator]

To be fair, we basically just did Blood vs. Water in Survivor Eon

Shoot. I missed it.

[Fluminator]

im a beacon of positivity in survivor games wtf r u on about

Batwoman was a beacon of under the radar.

[Fluminator]

You guys should invent a survivor game that is still survivor but less of a time commitment. I'm itching to play one again, but haven't had time lately.
Make it so you can only play for half an hour a day or something.

[Fluminator]

Sign me up for it then.

[Fluminator]

Or maybe do a reverse survivor where you want to get voted out as fast as possible, and it ends with two losers. That could be less time consuming.

[Fluminator]

Anons vs. Unanons

[Fluminator]

Mole or Genius please god yes.

You already know from the mole thread were working on one :p

If there were 3 MS mole games being run at once, I would play in all 3 without a hint of shame or hesitation.

I have a couple ideas for a mole game. I might still run one in Summer. I think Radja said he would help.

I also still need to run my chaos Diplomacy game.

[Fluminator]

I can already sense an anti winner alliance.

[Fluminator]

Haha. Flame would be on the winners tribe. Sucker

[Fluminator]

It's a good thing this isn't just the Survivor Game thread then!
I don't actually see why? There hasn't been with the times Mario has been reused, and has it been REUSED. Whether as part of themes under a Survivor, or the entire theme of one, or the theme of an Endurance, or

Mole.

Having different mods is enough to differentiate one would think. The first K-Scope Pokemon also used Pokemon as player characters. But you know what has only been done once in a Pokemon theme? The Trainers themselves. If you really feel the entire burning need to make it drastically different, there's the thing that has only been done once with TBO's Arena.

lol jk this will never happen.

Lol, I planned on doing one with the idea of there being two groups of ten, with each group having a mole, and at the end, the two winners would compete in a final challenge where the money would help them. (Forcing contestants to actually care about how much money they made)
I had some planning done, but then life kind of got distracting.

[Fluminator]

Sounds awesome LLD. I'd be interested in that program.
Do you have links to the mole games you mentioned there? Or were they irl?
