Diplomacy is a great game, but time-consuming if played properly.
I used to publish a PBM Diplomacy zine. I'd love to get involved,
but I'm afraid time doesn't permit.

Jamie: the game takes as much time as you want to put into it, writing orders ,
etc. is nice and quick, it's the alliences that take time.

Well, as soon as I get back from my high school orchestra/band/choir tour this
weekend, I'll be happy to play, if someone who knows how to play would explain
the rules for me....

Alrihgt, we have three players four if you count me, if we could round up seven
that would be best.
does is post the orders and setter er settle arguments (eg rules) . I would
prefer to do the third, and will give you my word that I will be impartial.
Once we can find a suffectenct er suffecient number of players I will mail (via
E- or snail mail) you maps rules, etc.

<Bob wants to play>
okay, that's 8 people. pone too many. We also need a d administator, that is if
most of you people have problems w/ me doing moth er both (Bob really wants to
play). I myself can give you my word to be honsest about his , but nothing
more. if no-one volenteers we could rotate administrator around the players.
Orin- Unless otherwise noted you won't be able to play. I have randomly
renerated contries for you people t, they are as follows: Coyote Russia Kain
Italy Eldrich Austria-Hungary Jamie Germany mneme France Snafu England
Seacow Turkey Jamie, mneme, seacow- You guys will need to e-mail me your
adresses so I can snail mail the stuff to you, the others I can get in touch
with off line

Um, er, what orders are available? What assets/resources do our countries
have available? Are we allowed to make alliances? (stupid question; the name
of the game is "Diplomacy"...) Ahhh!
Okay, now that I've got that out of my system...
