Anyone up for a Diplomacy game?

I’ve found a website that lets people play Diplomacy online: http://www.playdiplomacy.com/

Anyone want to try this out and play a game? I’ve set it to have 3 days for orders, two days for retreats, and two days for builds. That gives us 1 full turn per week. The game is called “Straight Dope” (ignore the SDMB one, I screwed it up), and you can find it by searching. Post here or PM me for the password. Please join only if you are serious. This is something you will have to deal with almost daily for perhaps up to the next 3 months.

I’m keen to give it a go… as long as I’m not Italy :slight_smile:

Sure. I’ll give it a whirl.

Ooh me. The last time we attempted a Diplomacy game here it fizzled. Hopefully we can get a full 7 this time.

I’ve sent you all passwords to the game.

I’m in.

One more spot is open

I don’t think I’m up to playing, but would love to follow along. I can’t find the “Straight Dope” game listed on the site, though.

Are you searching under “join game”?

I haven’t ever played the game before, but I’m in if you still have a spot and you don’t mind playing with a total noob. :slight_smile:

I think I’ve joined…

I don’t see you listed under the “Joined Users”

I don’t mind, as long as you know the rules. Have you followed any of the SDMB games in the past?

Ah, there it is, thanks. That looks totally cool. I am going to try to resist the urge to join. Assuming I succeed, is there any “spoiler board” option that would allow me to read everyone’s messages to each other?

No, but I’m reading the rules on the site now. I just got registered and I found the SDMB game.

I’ve never actually used this before, however, I assume communication is going to be done via e-mail.

Alright, I’m in- I signed up a moment ago, so this should be fun :slight_smile:

In case you guys are wondering, it’s going to randomly assign us countries when the game starts.

Mosier, I think it would be best if you watched one game first before playing. If this is successful, I will definitely put you #1 on the list for next game.

Do I need the password to watch?

When the Game Room first started, I proposed a Diplomacy game with all communication done in the open in the thread. I still might like to try that some time.
What normally happens is a thread full of commentary, trash-talking, and NFL head coach-style announcements that mean little. But it’s fun.

Keep me updated please! If I can’t play I want to at least see how it works.
