I can probably only do one game at a time these days between working 2 jobs and having holiday stuff coming up. If the other game goes south and leaves me without a distraction Iā€™d play, but Iā€™m afraid that having two games would end up with my play getting somewhat half-assed. So, sorry if youā€™re counting on me here right now. ---

**Lemur866** and **BoringDad** expressed interest in [the other thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=5595754). Though Iā€™d really like to play **RTFirefly** after dragging him in here, I have to drop out. I signed up for the World Masters tournament. If things go well Iā€™ll have plenty of dip for the next couple of years. If, however, you guys decide to play an interesting variant, or with a really slow schedule, I may still be interested. ---

Ahh, so this is the other thread that you were talking about. I would be most eager to be thrashed soundly from one end of the board to the other. ---

Iā€™ll recount players tomorrow, unless someone wants to do it for me. I have a baby asleep on my lap and itā€™s hard to surf ATM. ---

With Christmas travel coming up, and other stuff Iā€™ve got to take care of, Iā€™d like to wait until after the first of the year to begin play - assuming we get this game off the ground in the first place, that is. ---

**Munch** will you be able to play? If so, I think we might be ready to roll (or at least ready to set up for post-holiday play). ---

> [@CapnPitt](#): > > **Munch** will you be able to play? If so, I think we might be ready to roll (or at least ready to set up for post-holiday play). Yeah, I think Iā€™m able. I should be able to pick up a copy sometime this week. ---

Munch, if youā€™ve never played Diplomacy before, check out [diplom.org](http://diplom.org). Itā€™s a great resource for FAQs, openings, rules, maps, etc. WeirdDave, should we submit country preferences via email? ---

**Munch** , if youā€™re the only newb in this game, and if itā€™s okay with the other players, I could ā€œmentorā€ you for the first couple of rounds. Oh, and regardless, if you could post links to results here every so often so that I can razz **Wikkit** it would be much appreciated. šŸ˜ƒ ---

no one ever listens to me > [@ShibbOleth](#): > > Oh, and regardless, if you could post links to results here every so often so that I can razz **Wikkit** it would be much appreciated. šŸ˜ƒ I dropped out of this one because I found a game elsewhere.

> [@Wikkit](#): > > no one ever listens to me Sorry, maybe itā€™s because you speak so softly. I probably thought you were going to play in both. So whereā€™s that World Masterā€™s link? I checked under my nose and thereā€™s only some stubble there. (Iā€™ll check in the other thread) FWIW, this game wonā€™t be nearly as much fun without you to taunt; Iā€™ll have to pick someone else. I donā€™t (usually) like to taunt you when youā€™re playing WMs, since then youā€™re kin and I have to root for you. Although I might be willing to make an exception in your case. šŸ˜‰ ---

OK, everybody email me at Weirddave at gmail dot com with top 3 country selections. When I get that done Iā€™ll put up the website. Iā€™ll look for Spring 1901 moves sometime the week after Xmas, that OK with everyone? ---

Iā€™ll look for Spring 1901 moves sometime the week after Xmas, that OK with everyone? Iā€™ll be ready to commence play after the first of the year. So maybe first moves due a few days after that? If you have seven who are ready to get going any sooner, Iā€™ll be happy to drop out in order to let the game commence. ---

> [@RTFirefly](#): > > Iā€™ll be ready to commence play after the first of the year. So maybe first moves due a few days after that? After the first is better for me a well. But since that is only a few weeks, Iā€™m game for getting everything set up.
