Diplomacy Players listing!

[Toasty]

Perhaps we should start a CivDip006 game for all the incoming?

 

[spycatcher34]

We have trouble keeping all the spots filled on the current games....

 

[Magnus]

So, Toasty, are you ready to try your hand at GM-ing? With Realpolitik, http://realpolitik.sourceforge.net/ , you really can't go wrong!

 

[Toasty]

Magnus, if I can't get my orders in on time half the time, I can't GM .

 

[Flatlander Fox]

I will start a new game soon, with my Redscape obligations ending soon at the expense of Magnus. j/k

 

[Magnus]

Indeed, Mr. Fox, I would rather be stabbed than left hanging by the indifference of my ally (i.e. NMR). Just do me a favor and leave me with more centres than he so I can be the biggest loser!

I will probably sit '006' (007 will have to be spy dip, BTW ) out as we have a lot of new faces here who are chomping at the bit to play.

 

[erez87]

can i play?!

 

[mordhiem]

I'll join in, only if we play a variant mind, I want to try something different.

 

[Toasty]

Well...I suppose I could try to GM...what variant would you all be up for?

 

[mordhiem]

Colonial Diplomacy anyone? It's supposed to be very good, well, good enough to get published by Avalon Hill anyway.

Rules as in standard Diplomacy except for the Trans-Siberian railroad which has special rules. Basically it acts as a convoy for one unit per turn, allowing it to move multiple provinces per turn. Great powers are:

Britain - Dark Blue
Turkey - White
Russia - Red
China - Yellow
Japan - Green
France - Light Blue
Holland - Black

Starting positions:

Province Names:

mordhiem:
there are two colonial, maybe if many will want to play, we could play the LARGE one (16, or 13 players, i'm not sure)

Hi!

I'm totally new to Dip [never played ftf or pbem] but I've read the rules Is there any site I can visit to hone my skills [tips and that sort of thing] that you'd particularly recommend?

I've played against Toasty and Jason on the NES forum, so Dip ought to be a change

If you ever start up a new standard map game, count me in.

Hey whenever you're in need of someone just call me you know where you can find me

 

[erez87]

well i'll be HAPPY to play another big imperialism game...
are there 13. 16 players?

 

[Flatlander Fox]

It's HUGE, and there is not a program for adjudicating it...

I lost the modern game due to player inactivity and it only had 10 players...

Once my other games end, I might jump into a standard game again, but with CivDip 002 hung semi-permanently in limbo, I won't start a game at least until the Christmas holiday.

 

[Toasty]

Ick! I wouldn't touch Imperial Diplomacy with a 40-foot pole! Well, at least not as GM .

Is there interest enough for the colonial diplomacy variant? If so, I will start it.

Welcome!

You may want to try http://www.redscape.com/ - a few of us play there as well, to maintain our Dip-addictions.

 

[Adamski]

I'll probably be up for another game soon, would fancy a variant although something tells me not much else will be up until this tournament ends - how longs that going ta take?

 

[Adamski]

Maybe I'll get 300 posts in before the next game, so I can have one a those bizarre avatars
