    Based on this thread, there may be interest to play Diplomacy here. This thread is to establish whether there is such interest, and if there is, to show RAH that interest and hopefully get permission to play it here

    We'd want to play it somewhat differently from how it's played at eventis, in that we'd use only one thread for the game, and just progressively go through that thread with each turn.

    What is DIP?

    Diplomacy is a simple board-style game with the seven powers of Europe in the pre-WWI era. These seven powers have armies and fleets at the ready, to attempt to dominate Europe (by controlling the majority of it).

    Rules: http://www.wizards.com/avalonhill/rules/diplomacy.pdf

    Basically, you move armies about the board, ally with other armies of your own and of others to dominate yet other players. This is not a very time-consuming game, all armies have an equal strength and you control 3 armies to start the game, and never more than 20 (if you have that many, you've already won).
    There are in the neighborhood of 15-20 turns in the game, each turn a single PM to the GM plus a possible build/disband/retreat after the turn. Well, and perhaps PMs to allies and enemies

    Any interest?

    Shouldn't this be in the Paradox forum?

      Um, no. That's a COMPUTER game, which is apparently lousy anyway. This is a Forum game

          *cough cough*

          Admittedly, the forum's all but dead, but there used to be a lot of Dip games going on in there. I remember the time when forum games weren't wanted there, out of fear they'd swamp the stories and Dip games.

            Hmm, that's interesting. Didn't know we had a forum for Dip...

              I'll allow ONE thread here for that, but I reserve the right to do what I do with HANGMAN. I'll base it on the level of participation and types of posts.

                Would it be more active here than in Stories&Diplomacy?

                  The traffic is higher here.

                        Snoopy, aren't you supposed to be running another game at the moment? Hint hint...
                        I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).
