Preparation

To be defined.

What will we do?

I will give a presentation on the game “Diplomacy”, its rules, historical background and CICERO, an AI agent that was able to successfully master the game, which is particularly impressive since the game requires negotiating strategy and treaties with human players (as well as deceiving them) using natural language.

We will then play the game in smaller groups (using an online platform for the mechanics but negotiating in person) and finally we’ll have a short discussion on what insights we gained.

Players that know the game will be aware that it takes very long to play until completion. Every subgroup will have the choice of continuing their game online in the days following the meetup, or not.

Organization

You are worried you have nothing to contribute? No worries! Everyone is welcome!

There always is a mix of German and English speakers and we configure the discussion rounds so that everyone feels comfortable participating. The primary language is English.

This meetup will be hosted by Omar.

There will be snacks and drinks.

We will go and get dinner after the meetup. Anyone who has time is welcome to join.

In the above map the location where you should leave your bikes is marked in blue and the entrance (at the end of the metal ramp) with a red cross.
