A while back I took over GMing a doper Diplomacy game. It was a complete clusterfuck from day one, sometimes these things happen. I, and all of the players in the game, agreed to take the game out back, shoot it, burn it’s body, bury it and then salt the earth so that nothing would ever grow in that poisoned ground again.
We have done so, and the general wish is to start the game all over again with everyone being assigned new countries so we can have a truly fresh start. Unfortunately, two players had to drop out due to real life constraints, which leaves us needing two new players. The remaining players are:

Omniscient
Wikkit
ShibbOleth
Abe Babe
Who would like to join them? Come one, come all, sign up now. All I ask is that you play the game seriously. Deadlines will be twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays with a Saturday deadline for builds. Orders are due by 9 AM, but I reserve the right to adjudicate around my schedule each day. Ask anyone who has played in one of my games, I’m an emminently capapable GM, and a fairly easy one. It’ll be fun, who wants in? First two people to reply here and confirm by email get the spots.
Diplomacy is a strategic game of coercion. Here’s a link to the first Chapter of a Discussion on the Game by Richard Sharp, and here is a link to a website devoted to it, the Diplomatic Pouch.
Wow, Richard Sharp died in early March. Did anyone here notice?
I’d love to play, although I must warn you that I’m pretty inexperienced, having only played through two full games (and both nearly a year ago). They were also both real-life games, so I’ll need some coaching on how playing over the Internet works.
You can play from school, but it requires some effort and time in that you have to negotiate VIA Email with the other players. Review Shibb’s links above and then let me know if you still wanna play.
Hmmm. Omni had just bowed out as well. We seem to be going in the wrong direction, or at least only breaking even.
Tarrsk, email me if you’re still interested. 1 more day and I’ll fill the last 2 slots with Cat people.
(Ohhh, why, of COURSE you can have Budapest, Ms. Kinskey, I just have one favor to ask…)
Garf takes the fiffth slot, and I’ve recruted a guy I played in a Modern game with for the 6th slot. That leaves one more player needed. I’ll find him/her in the next day or so and we’ll get this puppy going again.Sending an email to tarrsk now.
Weirddave, Steve, who was on the Dip tournament team, said he’s also available now that Mini-me is ended. Sounds like you might have enough already, but it’s always good to have backup.
