As a general rule, are you not allowed to play in any public game if there are other players in that game that you have played with in a private game in the...
In games which I master, the rule I take is as follows: If you realise (however you realise it) that one of the other powers is someone you know offline or...
Just to let you all know that I am in the process of moving the diplom.org server onto new hardward, so that the web-site and email services are currently...
... I have a few games on USTR and I timed out on one submission of orders. When I saw that diplom.org was up again, I resubmitted but that was several hours...
Maybe this is asked and answered often and I've just missed it but I just wanted some confirmation. Is it expected behavior that the master password allows the...
... Yes, it is. This allows the Master to enter orders for a player if need be (for example, if the player is away and has left instructions to the Master)....
Two questions: - is xtalball the same as crystal ball? Apparently the games list "xtalball" as "Variant" but the dpjadge page only offers payola and crystal...

This is really embarassing, but I've got a game where four out of the seven powers are in civil disorder. I haven't had any complaints yet, but I don't really...
Six friends and I are looking to start a game and we would like to ask for a GM to set it up for us. We'd like all the standard parameters and to only do...
If anyone out there has insight as to why frog3 has been waiting for a late Italy for almost 9 months, I'd appreciate a reply. I took over a mercy position...
Going in a different direction, I was wondering why there are so many forming private games that never start. There are several dozen. The players don't join...
