Can someone who understands the game give a brief rundown of what the opening moves made mean and what they might signify? It'll help newbies just spectating this game a lot!

I would try if I weren't a player, but as is I don't want to risk giving away anything I know from what's not visible on the board.

The problem with trying to spectate a Diplomacy game from the outside is that, unlike Starcraft (and most other games) where the observers have as much or more info than the players and less bias, it's very difficult to tell what's really going on in Dip because the moves on the board are like a third of what's really going on at most. Moves are going to get made that look totally nonsensical to an outside observer, but most of the time there are very good diplomatic reasons for them that you have no chance of understanding.

I bought this board game about 6 months ago and nobody has been willing to play with me

I've played it a couple times a long long time ago when I was still in elementary school....love conspiring against people.

I would say the same thing as Macavenger. I want to explain what is the rationale behind my moves. But I can't do it without revealing part of my long term strategy, words that have been given to me behind closed doors or the lack of those. And while Musoeun explains the reason for his somewhat quirky opening, we, the players, have to read it the same way we read private messages in-game filled with lies, deceit, hearsay etc. Maybe he posted it here just to make us all feel safe.

Me and my friends were really into this game for quite a while. I love how it's a non-random board game but the game is largely meta and how well you get people to join you and then backstabbing them before they backstab you.

The best place to play is by far at :
http://phpdiplomacy.net/

The place is very organized and a great place to start since you can just mass up games, kinda like an iccup of sorts.

Hey Macavenger, come finalize your moves.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

This is a nightmarish game. Smaller countries are crumbling around me and the big boys are closing in.

I'm far more polite than that. Even if you go out, do it with a smile. Not quietly, but with a style. I am going to point out though that you made yourself a target, especially with that English slave.

So I have a question about the rules. Suppose you have a unit supporting another, and that unit supports a third. Now someone else's army attacks the middle unit- is the support for the third unit cut, in that case?

Support is cut... unless it supports the third unit in an attack against unit that attacked the second one.

Wait so you mean like

Army in Province1 (P1) supports A P2 to hold
A P2 supports A P3 to hold?

If that's what you mean then if P2 gets attacked then P2's support is cut, but P1 is still supporting P2 to hold position. Unless you have them supporting move orders, then I'd need more details on exactly what you're talking about.

yeah that's what I meant Falcynn. So under that circumstance, two armies could dislodge P3, but they couldn't dislodge P2, right?

You'd need 3 armies to dislodge either.

P3 has support from P2 giving him a defense of 2. To dislodge P3 you'd either need to have one army cut support by attacking P2, and use the other two to overpower P3. Or you'd need to attack with all three against P3.

Exact same scenario if you want to dislodge P2. You can dislodge P1 with only 2 armies though since no one is supporting him.
