Thuesday night eurotime diplo.

[VetLegion]

I am one of the people who enjoyed reading/following History Of The World diplo game very much. I have ever since wished to once participate in such a game. Good luck

In any event, the earliest I'll get up is 5am and online by 5:15 or so.... it usually takes an hour to get these sessions started anyway!

I'll be slightly annoyed if I get up this early and the full crew aren't here!

Yeah, I played in HOTW2. I wonder if the threads are still available?

[OzzyKP]

I dunno, I looked for that Diplo FAQ Cap started (and I expanded) but I couldn't find it. That had links and rosters to all the Diplogames on record. Its also a lot more current than the HOTW2 threads.

It looks like its all gone. It makes me very upset too, we all spent quite a lot of time working on those games. They weren't just random pick up games or the other kind of crap that goes on in these forums (no offense to everyone, heh) they were works of art. Long hours were spent by lots of people to make maps, and write stories and everything else.

The website is still around. http://www.geocities.com/history_of_the_world/
but it doesn't have any of the ending stuff on there. Like the great Mongol election and our subsequent butt kicking at the hands of our Chinese and Aussie neighbors.

I can't find them either.

They seem to have threads going back a year and that's it.

The archive thread is empty. Ming, any chance can you let us know if we can get access to these older threads? Many of us really enjoyed them. I hope they are saved somewhere. I wish I'd saved some of them to my hard drive, which I'm now doing for some of the threads in the last year.

deity: if you look at the left collumn there is a 9 hour time difference.

Hi Folks. I'm about to throw a spanner in the works. I will only be available for the next three weeks, then i'm off walkabout for a month or so.

[deity]

This is sounding a bit dicey.

I'm prepared to commit to getting up early when it's clear we have a crew available for a long running game.

I never noticed that time thing! Thanks atawa.... LOL

[atawa]

Sounds like this is not comming of the ground right now

[Ljube]

What's a diplogame?

[atawa]

Basicly a 5-player game thats continued over multiple sessions where diplomacy and roleplaying are all part of the game.

Have you started these games yet? I would like to join, if possible.
Does roleplaying mean you play on a pre-selected map with set starting positions (scenario)? Does diplomacy mean treaties, alliances, etc?

[atawa]

A premade map would be ok if we can find a good one.


I would realy like to start this at tuesday september 9.

Hope we can get enough reliable players together before then.

Rules have to be decided on by majority vote.

[Ljube]

Atawa, after our icq conversation I believe we don't need a pre-made map. If anyone gets in a bad starting position, he'll have a chance to offset it on diplomatic front.
