Hey there you big, giant *****!

I'd be interested in doing a game on either Tues thru Fri, starting at 8pm EST.

World map or no? No.

Predestined starting locations? No.

Tech "retardation"? Yes, the settings for the Ultradip were good.

New units? I don't care.

New rules? Not that we'll make it that far, but longer range nukes would be nice. Making SDI a wonder like Manahattan project would be nice too.

got your ass! You will not laugh! You will not
cry! You will learn by the numbers. I will
teach you. Now get up! Get on your feet! You
had best un**** yourself or I will unscrew
your head and **** down your neck!

Bon Giorno to you too Paisan!

LOL Dimble, c'mon, I think if we have a better effort this time around with a more leniant scheduling method we can pull this bad boy off.

Have some optimism!

Oh yeah, you are a Republican, well uh...

It'll work this time, I swear, I am not as bad a guy as people think, I love animals....

Especially in a nice pasta with some vegetables and some...

Must you ask if i want to play capo?
IMHO capo you make the best diplogames, and set them up perfectly, i think you should set it up yourself w/o taking a poll. I don't care about the settings
Peace!

Natrually im in, lest you kill someone without my calming influence =)

Capo i am in one diplogame now on sundays.... still looking for a weeknight game..... i would play as the Mongols of course and wear my purple dress just for you of course

**The Capo** · January 29, 2001, 23:12

Since I know a lot of us are already in Diplogames, or in regularly scheduled games at least, we should wait a month, maybe two for this to actually occur. Which gives us a lot of time to make sure EVERYONE is on the same page.

So I think what we should do is discuss the merits of this game, and anyone that wants in should make it known.

Thanks a lot, sorry about all of the crap I've caused lately, I was stupid.

Peace.

Hi! I'd like to join in at this diplo game..

IF we can have it on friday, saturday or Sunday.
(i live in Norway, Europe (GMT+1)

Maybe you remember me from Eurodiplo 1, as the rusians.

**The Capo** · January 30, 2001, 16:53

Alright, I don't want anyone that reads this to think that once we reach seven that is it, we are just taking a pool of everyone that wants to be in a diplogame regardless of time/date constraint. So far we have the following pool:

Chris
Capo
Sun
War4
Kent
Dimbleby

Again, I by no means want to constrain this, what I really want to happen here is a pool of all those who like Diplogames or are interested in playing in one to come together here as sort of a "Diplo-community" so we can set up a game, or lay some groundwork for Diplogames in general/future games.

Sort of like the Constitutional Convention, but with a Diplogame.

By the way, Drake made a very cool site for a side game with Diplomatic overtones he, Drake, Chris and I are involved in. Its sort of the "ruins" of the Diplogame I had originally intended to play before the Nap/Adam mess arose.

I am quite sure the site is not completed yet, but this is the type of thing I was striving for in a diplogame, a serious one, with some good reporting etc... <a href="http://www.geocities.com/history_of_the_world/">CLICK HERE TO VIEW!!!</a>

If anyone would be interested in planning a game that will be packaged in this manner, but this time with seven tribes (rather than four and three AI Amerindian tribes), then this is where that discussion needs to occur.

Thanks a lot, peace!

I would be interesting in joining another diplo game (organized by someone else for a change ) about a month or so from now. I seem to have a little more time now that I'm grading, not teaching, this semester, and slacking on the dissertation. haha I have no 'demands' re settings, though obviously I have preferences. But that's something we can hash out by majority vote. (Obviously, the one demand would be that the game be 1x1x, but I don't think anyone would vote against that. Also, I strongly prefer to play on some kind of "real" map - maybe the British Isles? Any real map is better than a random map, though.)

Whichever map we decide upon, it would have to be an entire planet that is circumnavigable, thus the British Isles wouldn't fit that description.

I would personally like to play on an Earth based map, but I realize that there are a number of people that wouldn't like this, so before we decide upon a map I would like to at least get some pan-Apolyton ideas as to what the game itself should be like, and what the groundrules are, and thigs like that.

I don't want to risk the amountof input by deciding on a map this early in the juncture.

So I need some ideas and I want a huge pool of contributors as well, so let's get some more names up here!!!

**War4ever** · January 31, 2001, 20:05

I personally would like to play on a world map having never MP ed on one before.... I would like it tweaked though as there are some major flaws in it

obviously a x1x1 setting is all that would interest me as well.....as for the rest.... well i am easy

**The Capo** · January 31, 2001, 22:27

...easy to beat?

Cuz that's the word on the streets....

I'll edit this and put something meaningful in later.... PEACE.

hm.... you must have your facts wrong

**Mr Dimbleby** · February 1, 2001, 12:36

If we do the Diplogame on the World map, I would propose that we play a game based off the World War '79 scenario. If we did something base off ww79 I would suggest that SDI be eliminated.
