DipNES VIII: Revenge of Bedbug Island

[talonschild]

Oh, very well. Good game, all.

Thus does the game end in a 5-way stalemate between SamSniped (Russia), Nintz (France), talonschild (England), Bowsling (Germany) and Terrance888 (Turkey). Good game everyone!

 

[SamSniped]

I survived!

 

[Bowsling]

So, are we gonna have another go?

I'll write an AAR in a little bit. If anybody is unwilling to let me post their correspondence publicly, let me know. I won't post every single PM, just a few key examples.

 

[Bowsling]

So... is anybody interested in having another go?

 

[Terrance888]

I'm out.

It is tricky running a DipNES. You have to be very strict about how you enforce your rules, or else people will get angry at you. Also, for the second half of the game, I consistently had to remind over half of the playerbase to send their orders on time. I think a DipNES would work well if people have a very good idea of what is expected in their orders, and if they are all highly interested in Diplomacy.

I'd be willing to run another game on the condition that I got 7 people who promised to send their orders on time, or at least ask for extensions if they couldn't.

'Fraid not, I'm trying to cut back.

 

[Ekolite]

I would be interested in a game.

 

[Nintz]

I'm in. I can't promise 100% that I can send orders on time all the time, but I should be able to ask for an extension/replacement if things get too hectic.

I'd be up for running a game, but probably too busy to actually play a game.

This.

3 GMs, 3 players interested. Not bad.

 

[SamSniped]

Definitely interested
