I'm looking for some general interest here. I'm going to be runing an on-line game of diplomacy. This is a of thinking, negotiation and strategy there is no luck involved. Each player plays one of seven countries, England, France, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary, Rusia, and Turkey. Each is given some teritory and some armies. You make aliances with other people, and do anything you can to conquer the most teritory possible, but don't decieve too much or no-one will trust you.. I'm just looking for general interest, once I get that I'll destrubute the full set of rules. First come-first serve

methinks I'll me able to play
That's one
What, no Finland? <grin>
mooncat, ru interested? robh has informed me that he will be playing that's two Coyote, mneme? SNAFU?
I'll play until about march.. then maybe give my country to someone else, or just let it fade into anarchy...
I played Diplomacy once many years ago, and can't remember any of the rules, but if your instructions will be adequate for beginners, I'm interested.
Yes, they'll be atequite, were last time. So we have four now.
Sounds cool.emember loving Model UN in high school. I think I want to be the PLO...or the Iraquis...or something
would be fun, but it's europe only...
so you in keourac? snafu, yes?
Europe only? oh well, maybe I'llbe the Serbs...or the Croations
keourac is 5 mneme?
So folks do understand the rules, only the seven nations listed in #0 can be played in a standard game of Diplomacy. And the order in which players choose the countries is done randomly. (Unless kain chooses to use a different set of rules, I've seen at least thirty variants.)
use the rules we started with.. that's what works...
re#13 exactly
I'm in. And don't forget, epople, -- ownership of supply centers may only change in the turn right before you build/disband 9that's spring, no?). So if it's uncontrolled, you can only gain it by having an army or fleet there at the end of spring, and if you control it, you can only lose it by having someone else having a unit there at the end of Spring. Move-throughs in Fal are only good for a laugh..
I guess...
Oh! I'll play. (I haven't been on in quite some time... I hope there are still spaces left :)
Re #16: You got that backwards. Ownership of supply centers can change only after the Fall turn. Occupation during Spring has no effect on ownership. However, as you said, builds/removals do occur immediately before Spring (or after Fall, if you prefer to look at it that way). BTW, as much as I like Diplomacy, I don't have time to participate. However, I am willing to serve as ombudsman, to resolve occasional rules disputes when players/GM cannot agree. This assumes, of course, that none of the game's participants objects to my being ombudsman.
sure, but can we use a term besides ombudsman... I can't spell it and I don't know what it means...
so it's Eldrich Robh Ajax Coyote Snafu Mnemeand keourac if he's playing The Countries are: Eldrich-England Robh-France Ajax-Germany Coyote-Austria-Hungary Snafu-Turkey Mneme:Russia Keourac:italy Eld, do you still have that set of rules? could you e-mail that to everyone? thanks
ooh... I get to be turkey.... I kicked ass as turkey last time... wh
I've heard "corner" countries tend to be advantagious in Diplomacy. Fewer neighbors to pick on you. Fewer neighbors to pick on though, too.
but turkey... ooh... I'm not going to tell my secrets about turkey
Russia, eh? Whoa boy. Well, I've played every other country on that side o that side of the board. And if I'd remembered that the years started with the spring, I'd remember that it was fall positions that counted, not spring.
so when do we start?
I'll see if I can find the rules... I've got the map on disk. U know, the ascii one ..
yeah.. print that one in the item please.. anyone on the list who does not want to play, please tell me so I can get a replacement.. bob, mail everyone the rules pleease, thanks everyone we'll begin as soon as everyone has a set of rules.
allright! I spend a lot of time trying to get a the ac er ascii diplomacy map off item 7 and onto this one. It didn't work. if you want the map it's on response 66 of item 7 of this .cf (rpg) Now for some quickie rules... <Bob will BRB>
this is linked to agora bob.. I'll find the map and copy it

something like that anyway
bob do you know the URl so people could get a slightly clearer map?
This is why I didn't copy the map onto this item. And no I have no clue where people could find a better copy other than item item 7 on RPG. I'll try to find out though. <Bob continues his search>
the rules though.. could you post the rules?
Aha ! I have returned bearing gifts of URLs! The diplomatic puch has a geart list of maps. The URL is HTTP://www.sni.net/~mhand/DipPouch/online/maps.htm l IT'S ILLEGAL! If you folks don't mind I'll photo copy my summary and snail many it to U all <Bob proceeds to be low tech>
ok... How's about when we do get started, we make a seperate item for results of moves, and freeze it after each posting (to cut down on cluttering side conversations) and keep all discussion here? It'd make it easier to go back and check the old moves, say if you lose track, or foget to write them down..
note to all you floks reading this from agora: Agora will be restarted as usual.. come to rpg and read it from there. the item number is 20. Bob: the rules dangit!we don't all have www acess though I assume most of us do. EXTREmlY IMPORTANT: ANYONE LISTEd AS PLAYING THAT DOEs NOT WANT TO: NOTifY ME ASAP. ANyone WHO DOES NOT Get THe ruleS.. notify me and if bob can't get them here I'll try to write up a brief copy with all the important stuff
I don't have the rules. Mail to 5915 Plum Hollow #2, Ypsilanti MI 48197, if you want to transmit them by snail mail. Anyone can access the web from Grex, but only in text mode. So if the rules are on the web, we can get them from there.
I need other addresses from folks if U want the rules. As far as I know there are no copies of the rules on the net. Snafu- If you haven't put your new adress in your plan I will need it.
