So recently (a few months ago) I discovered a new board game that actually takes strategy and skill, and is really fun at the same time. It's called Diplomacy. Does anyone on SEN play it?

Also, you can play it online. I like to play the live games with 5-minute turns (instead of waiting a week for a turn to finish :bored: ) and sometimes ones with 24- to 48-hr turns.

If anyone wants to play, send me a message. I'm "rayNimagi".



Win by luck, lose by skill.

Relatively ancient and inactive

a(s,t) once tried hosting this as a forum game. I was Austria, Moose was Russia. We got past the first turn or two (Moose was a goner, of course :P), then A(s,t) stopped updating. And I kept bugging him about it. And he apparently ended it, without posting in the thread.. I believe WoAHorde was Prussia and Flyinghat was Italy.



None.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
