Diplomacy (game) sign up
« on: September 23, 2008, 11:28:34 am »
We want to run Diplomacy in the forums. It would be nice to have 7 players, and a way to play without a GM (whose inly purpose would be to collect the PMs and to update the board, so it's not very fun). Tell us what you think.
Players:
Akroma (Germany)
Asheron (Italy)
Kashyyk (England)
Poltifar (France)
Nilocy (A.Hungary)
Frelcok (Turkey)
A1s (Russia)

countries as yet untaken:
none

I tried to play chess but two of my opponents were playing competitive checkers as a third person walked in with Game of Thrones in hand confused cause they thought this was the book club.

Sign me up for germany. BotG is currently running so slow, might as well look left and right.

However I wonder how we can play a game that requires a GM to collect moves and then put them into motion simultanously without a gm. clearify your plans please.

Did you just post a bunch of vegi-dicks on my board?  I've been trying to combat forum devolution a bit, and that involves fewer vegi-dicks!

I have never played it before, but it sounds interesting. Could I join? Is the UK an option?

I don't have time to think about Diplomacy or I'd join.  Also, I suggest you randomize the country selection, since the game is definitely not balanced.

Various play-by-internet/email systems are out there (though I've never used them myself); check out diplom.org for a start.

good that you posted this link, because the wiki entry is not very precise about supply and convoys etc

I'd totally join this, if I could have my old nationstate or Switzerland. And if it didn't seem to be so much work. I might occasionally follow this thread, I suppose.

I am able to do one turn every 24 hours

so, do you suggest we join this PHP site, or do we handle it via PMs ?
