I am Announcing a new Standard Game of Diplomacy. I have already confirmed three players and will accept anyone who posts here on this thread or private messages me. I am accepting country preferences as well. Please be advised that a 'Play By E-mail' Diplomacy game will generally take a few months to finish, and that the commitment of all players to play out the game will greatly increase the fun for everyone. Posting publicly in the this forum is highly encouraged; CC:ing me during international private negotiations is optional but welcomed! I will check orders for accuracy and notify individuals if there are obvious errors or inconsistencies if there is time for me to do so (so get those orders in early!).
This is a Standard 18 Centre win game but any winter after the year 1907, there may be a vote held (must be unanimous) by all surviving countries to end the game and declare the country with the most centres the winner. I am going to allow at least 5 days of negotiations between each move phase and have 24 hour deadlines for retreats, and additionally 24 hour deadlines for disbands and/or builds. We should average one full turn a week, and two full years of play a month.
If you fail to submit orders, your country will go into 'Civil Disorder' and all units will hold with any retreat resulting in disbandment. If you fail to submit a retreat the unit disbands, if you fail to submit disband, I will choose for you (generally the furthest from a home centre not on a supply centre) if you fail to submit a build, you get no build for that year.
Additionally, each player will have the right to invoke a 48 hour emergency extension ONCE during the game, if a player needs another 48 hours after the first is used up, he or she will have to ask another player to use theirs instead. I will inform all players when the extension is invoked and by whom.
If you haven't already done so I urge you to visit this site http://realpolitik.sourceforge.net to download and install a little Diplomacy utility that will make it much easier for you to follow the game. I will be submitting to all players '.dpy' file with every seasonal adjudication, so you can get a better idea on how the results went.
The three players I have so far:
spycatcher34
Bill_in_PDX
EmperorSnefix
Best of luck to all involved - I hope to get this underway by next week.
