I think it might be possible to produce rules which are much simpler and have gameplay that, although different, has comparable complexity. At a first guess, something along the lines of "each unit has an intended adjacent destination, if a unit intends to stay still it can support a move to an adjacent location (this support does nothing if any other unit tries to move to its location), if two units attempt to move to the same place the unit with lesser support is dislodged (both are if there's a tie), a dislodged unit must move back to its original square if possible, otherwise it attempts to move again from its original square and if the resulting square is contested the unit disbands". That's a huge simplification of army movement, and although it doesn't produce the same results as the official rules in all cases, I'd imagine it has a similar tactical depth. The complex part is convoying, but even a simple rule like "a convoy attempt only succeeds if no attack on the convoy is attempted" might work well enough in practice (and is paradox-free). -- ais523

> Oh those are really pretty simple too, chess-level simple or simpler (with > some edge cases that come up as you go). My experience learning Diplomacy was that the although rules are short and seem simple, I found out about new (to me) edge cases constantly. I love the game but I think the rule authors missed the mark somehow. Not that I know how to improve it. (I don't mean to say the rules haven't been nailed down by now: I imagine the set of test cases at https://webdiplomacy.net/datc.php is probably complehensive.) - Falsifian

I think my only concern is that Diplomacy is pretty strict in terms of the number of players (7 is ideal, fewer than 6 doesn't really work IMO, more than 7 and you need to play on an alt map) and that has to be known before starting, so it's not as freely accessible as "anyone can join in the first 48 hours".

DIS: [Attn: Herald] Birthday Tournament Discussion
I believe it's time to discuss this year's Birthday Tournament. We can either do the FRC tournament as we have done in years past, or something completely different. I made a proto-Tournament for an Arcadia-style game about a year ago. Don't know if the Agoran Community would be interested in something like that, but it's a possibility. There's been a lot of list traffic recently, so I apologize for bringing yet another thing up. If the H. Herald does not have time to coordinate a Birthday Tournament, I, as the Speaker, would be fine setting things up. To the rest of the public, what do you think? What sounds fun? Let's talk. -- Trigon
