SDMB Diplomacy: Three is a Magic Number

I’m thinking that last thread was getting a little hard to handle so I’m starting a new one and asking one of our gracious mods to lock that last one.

Let’s see if we can get some newbies interested!

Because I’m replacing Clarissa as France in 936 and I understand Dave has her on the missing list in Aberration, too.

So let’s hear some chatter, people!

Wanted: One Ruler for small Meditranian country that has taken over most of the Western Med and Russia. Relationship with G-d a plus in predominantly Jewish state. Only opponents between you and world domination are Spain and Eire. Reply to the email in my profile.

And here’s the (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=103487) for the now closed part deux.

I was just getting ready to ask you if you’d seen Tank this week. :slight_smile:

The Dip games’ maps and moves are here:

The rules of play are here:

We still need a link to the source of rules regarding draws.

Taken over most of the Western Med? Are you on crack, Dave? :wink:

Dear future replacement for Israel,

Let’s kick Spain’s ass.

Love,
Eire

Bastard. :smiley:

Hey, you snooze, you lose. I’m just laying the groundwork for a friendly working relationship with the future player.

Ooops! Read “Eastern Med”, not “Western”.

Wait, you saying you need someone as a replacement player?

Yes, you interested?

There should be a rule.

If someone wants to take Clarissa’s place in the aberration game, they should be required to take over for her in Dip 936 too. Otherwise, it could take a while to find someone.

I’m only halfway kidding.

Yes, I’ll go for that!

What do you say, Dave! We’ll do a twofer!

Fine with me. You in Erislover?

Nate, are there final results on winter builds for Dip 983?

I’m not sure how long I can keep RTFirefly from blowing that airhorn on your front porch.

Hey, I’ve already updated my map at home. After all, there are only two builds this winter, and one of them’s mine. And Abe, I’ve just got this hunch that you didn’t build a fleet in Sevastopol. :slight_smile:

Nate’s site may be “experiencing technical difficulties”, as they say. I’m getting a “Netscape is unable to locate the server” message when I try to load it; IE is saying “The page you are looking for is currently unavailable.”

I had thought of doing that, and going for the Most Obvious Yet Ineffectual Stab Award[sub]TM[/sub], but then thought better of it.

And you had to retreat OTB rather than Marseilles and then build in Marseilles just to be a pain in the posterior to our beloved GM, didn’t you?

I was genuinely undecided about whether I wanted an army or a fleet in Marseilles. (Whatever it was, it was going to be in Marseilles; otherwise, I’d lose Spain in the spring. That’s why I didn’t retreat to Tuscany.)

After all that, I wound up building a F Mar anyway. :smiley:

[sub]Besides, I don’t want to give our esteemed GM a hard time; I want him to keep on GMing! OTOH, if I can irritate my fellow players, that’s another story entirely. :)[/sub]
