I am GMing a game of Diplomacy in which 6 of the 7 players are dopers. Unfortunately, 2 people have notified me that they need to drop out because of RL concerns, which means I need two more players. I’d prefer to keep the game “in the family” as it were, so I am putting out a call for replacement players here before I go looking in the Cat-23 community. The players in the game are all new at this, so don’t feel shy if you’ve never played before or have limited experience, if you’re interested, chime in! C’mon, it’s a lot of fun! We( Jonathan Chance and I ) run these games all the time and I think most people really enjoy them. Who’s interested? ---

Is there a web page, so we can see the game’s current status? ---

I might be interested. How often do your orders need to be turned in? I’m not a very experience Diplomacy player, but I know how to play. Drop me an email if you have any questions. ---

Drop me an email if you have any questions. I try to do one game year per week turns- Spring orders due Monday or Tuesday, Fall Thursday or Friday with a one day turnaround for Winter builds, but I am flexible with that, and lately it’s been a lot slower. I am always happy to grant delays as needed, RL is more importany than the game. ---

Is the game in progress? Who would I take over? Oh what the heck I’ll play. ---

I’ll throw caution to the wind too. Count me in, unless you already found someone else. Just drop me an email on how to get started. ---
