It's because most hosts now put a prerequisite of 20% boot rate max, so you can't see most of them...

The boot rate of the player in question is 43%

SAVAGE!

I tried with myself on open games

34-9 = 43 open games

I tried w/ a 0% boot Alt

27-11 = 38 open games

Maybe there is a level presitequites there on MD but the thread is about RT.

I can really see only 1 RT Diplos on open games


The results were similar with my alt , so there must be a presitequites other than boot filters.

^^ You could always try hosting an RT Diplo if you think there is really a market for it... :)))))

But I agree with the long list of reasons that other people think that RT Diplos are dead. :)

I tried to host one again yesteday, I filled a 12 player one with low prerequisites. It filled reasonably fast, but we started the game with 2 PEs, then we have several booters and surrenders. The game worked out ok in the end, but it wasn't really a "Diplo" as such...

indeed... but perhaps the opening poster will have more luck. ;)

"It's been in strong decline ever since the Dashboard update - folk just quit Warlight, or stopped bothering with RT games."

Xpapy. Quit making up random shit.



This graph displays the sites traffic rank among all other sites. Last October was around the highest activity the site has ever had, then it dipped a bit, and is now once again increasing.

Quit making up baseless bullshit like a fucking idiot just to try and fit your "Fizzer sucks" agenda.

I don't know why you've the agenda you have, but I know it's a very common one - to hate them since you ain't them.

That's not even a graph of raw visitors, just relative rankings. Nor does it go back to January '15, when the dashboard update was. Nor does it account for diplomacy folk in particular, just all folk (which outnumber the diplomacy-only folk). You're taking the wrong population, the wrong dates, and wrong kind of data.

If there was more (free) evidence other than my recalling, I would show you, but as is, you can do enough with shutting up, as such a rotted brain should.

*Diplomacy folk aren't real warlight players*

Don't get me wrong, I used to play RT diplomacies loads, when they existed.

I've started hosting them more regularly again, had a couple of great ones today! Keep up the hope, if we host them, they will come...

I've pretty much stoped to play diplomacies. Bad experiences in RT and really long games in MD made me get to avoid playing them.

Yeah, when players want to drag a game out that is when it becomes a pain, I usually just blacklist players like that, luckily the amount of players who do that seems to be thinning out in my games, odd that... :)

^ Maybe because you Blacklist them to extinction?

That must be it! :D

New game up:
https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=10612403

1 PE, almost 40% of the game booted, sub-standard RP with mostly people claiming neutral territory, some useless rules like #3 and #5, some countries who do nothing but stack, and bonuses multiplied by 100 for no reason other than for the lolz.

Looks like a standard RT diplo to me.

I multiply bonuses by 10 so people can't use army calculator without lagging for enough time to get booted. #How2Diplo

WOW

Why RT diplomacy are declining?

No proper structures supporting diplomacy's meaning custom made rules wuofh are broken by people who like ruining fun today playing with clans are the way to go until fizzer sees otherwise..
