So one of my players in the SDMB Diplomacy tournament is forced to bow out due to life issues. This leaves me seeking a replacement. This is the game: SDMB Diplomacy [Game Two](http://www.wooleysark.com/dip/sdmb2/). The open position is France. The position is a good one, not sacrificial at all, and has a decent shot of making it into the finals round if the player can deliver. Email’s in the profile, players! ---

I’ve seen mention of these games before but have no idea what it’s about (other than some variation on the “conquer/dominate the world” theme). Is there a page where I can find information? ---

This sounds like something very dorkish that I’d love. I need info! More info! ---

Diplomacy is an game of lying for liars out to lie their way into heaven. Sadly, there are six other liars also trying to get that gig. Here’s a link to the Diplomatic Pouch: [http://www.diplom.org](http://www.diplom.org) which should allow you to educate yourselves on the game. ---

Hm. I think I may be down for it, but I’d need a crash course on fun rules. I’m perusing the .pdf file right now. ---

Man - is this game jinxed or what? I think Germany will be the only player left who actually started the game. Grim ---

I dunno, I played it at a friend’s party and I totally sucked at it. I guess I could give it another shot…
