Yep, I’m offering to host a SDMB Diplomacy game again.
Am I crazy or what? I just finished GMing the Semi-Finals of the Worldmasters and find myself, for the first time in almost four years, without a game to run.
What is the world coming to? Must be the fault of aliens or something.
For those unaware of Diplomacy it’s a game set in 1901 in which seven powers in Europe all vie for continental dominance. There are no dice. There is no random element at all. You negotiate with the other players and try to build alliances and destroy your opponents! But be careful! You’re ally one turn could betray you the next and bring you down!
We call that a stab.
The game will take several months to play with turns taking a few days so players will have time to communicate with each other.
Warning, though: if the deadline comes and you don’t have orders in to me your units will simply not move that turn. This is known as ‘suicide’.
So how 'bout it, chuckies? Who’s in?
You must contact me and list your country preferences. Be it known that countries will be assigned in order of when you come at me. So the first will get his first choice, guaranteed.
Note, also: to get in the game you must EMAIL me…just posting to the thread won’t do it.

Oh Christ. It’s late. I was flipping through the rules. Maybe I shouldn’t play.
I keep telling myself I really don’t have time to get in another game. On the other hand it would be fun to administer a spanking to Garius… what to do, what to do?
What the hell, use me if you need someone to fill a slot. It’ll be fun to stand with Omni on the unemployment line. What we need here in the USA is a good dole to live off of in those times when you just have to Dip.
