There's lots of stuff in the OP about how to!

This is what I used! A little amateur, but it really helped me put the pieces together, which made the player's guide in the OP much more helpful.

Edit Also, he sounds like the 'knife-wielding tentacle' guy, which is always a plus.

Quick Question: Are there any nights that are particularly bad for deadlines for anyone? I plan on having each turn last 48 hours except for winter which will be 24 hours. Deadlines at 10pm EST. Are Sunday nights bad? Is anyone busy for all of Wednesday? Thanks.

no restrictions. are we doing it so that deadlines end early if all orders are in, or is that a logistic improbability?

As long as we can preload conditionals, that works fine for me.

I dont think there's a turn order, everyone submits at the same time so yeah.

I feel like things can change so quickly in this game that I can't just shut down the turn randomly. Maybe I can say "Hey, I have all the orders in, I'm going to close the turn in an hour unless someone says something."

Also, I'm going to do that thing again where if everyone agrees in thread or in discord to shorten a turn/turns, I'll have no problem doing that.

Additionally, Kash and Somber would like shorter deadlines. I want to make the first year a bit longer so that everyone can get used to how the game plays and so alliances and things can be comfortably made but I'm thinking about Fall 1901 I'll just make the game 24 hour deadlines.

I disagree. I'd say keep the deadlines a little longer until at least 1903? Please? It's very hard to communicate with everyone on a reasonable timeframe within only 24 hours.

Basically, if you make 24 hour deadlines, Germany and Austria might as well concede now.

Honestly I am not in favor of shorter deadlines. Sometimes people get busy, or have medical stuff happen (like my migraines) that would make discussion and decisions within a shorter frame difficult. Later in the game once some people are eliminated sure, but to start with? 48 hours is perfect imo

Spring 1901 orders will be due January 25th, 10:00PM EST.

Tips for new players:

Use jDip! It's great. It's what I use to adjudicate turns and it will help you immensely with exploring what you may do with your turn.

If you need rule clarifications, PM me on discord! I am available often, though if I'm talking to someone I might screen the message for a bit. I'll get to it!

If you need an extension for any good reason, let me know. I'm very willing to be flexible on deadlines.

Finally, I will never auto-fail an order due to syntax. If I don't know what you mean by an order, I'll let you know, so don't stress out.

I am right now about to set up the Discord channel for diplo in the samafia server. I highly suggest all 7 players use it. It will make things very convenient. If you need an invite lmk.

Good luck; have fun!
