Unless anybody else is desperate to do it, I would love to GM the next W-E Diplomacy game.

If you wish to play, please post your email in this thread.

If this is your first game of Diplomacy, the rules can be found here.
Some useful strategy articles can be found on this website.

Looking forward to reading everyone's press!

I can afford one more game, now that Ulric has ended... But I'm still playing in Sigmar and Morr, so I understand if I don't get a spot.

My e-mail is "francisheeb(at)msn(dot)com".

Guvnor · « **Reply #2 on:** March 07, 2006, 05:18:15 PM »

Me! ME! MEEEE!

Pick me!

Please, Please, Please, Please...

I think I may have indicated that I have a wish to join the game.

Not playing in any, but I am mastering morr.

I am hippo(underscore)gangsta(at)btinternet(dot)com.

Actually, don't you have mine from the problems in Morr?

sigsfried · « **Reply #3 on:** March 07, 2006, 09:10:04 PM »

DEfinatly would like to play but am involved in sigmar.

sigsfried[at]gmail[dot]com

Wonder if I'll be Austria.

Edit
Oops. Double post. Sorry

valmir · « **Reply #5 on:** March 07, 2006, 09:43:38 PM »

@Guvnor: Yes, I do have yours. In fact, I have access to everybody's emaiils that has been involved in any of the W-E games (we all do - just send a 'list' command). But if anybody 'new' wants to sign up, then the email would be useful.

Guvnor · « **Reply #6 on:** March 08, 2006, 04:21:40 PM »

After a while you won't be able to keep up, some people send a message to everyone, once a day!

This does cut down a bit after the first moves, but just before and after moves, everyone goes crazy!

And I want something other than England and italy! I got generated randomly as england in 4 games. Not as bad as sigsfrieds 7 or so austria's but still annoying.

valmir · « **Reply #7 on:** March 10, 2006, 01:39:10 PM »

Alright, so thus far, we have:

Sigsfried
Guvnor
Cisse
Lizard King
(RaginKileak)

We need four more. Now that Morr is getting into 1902, perhaps people will be more willing to try starting anew? Kaiser Etharion?

sigsfried · « **Reply #8 on:** March 10, 2006, 06:05:41 PM »

I'm also trying to recruit people for a different game. Ideally people who haven't played before. Anyone interested?

Sig, you need to start your own thread. I would personally call what you have just attempted to be a 'Thread Hijack' although I dont mean it maliciously.

I just think its not cool to potentiallt steal Valmir's potential megalomaniacs!

On the other hand players who were already involved in say this game may be intrested or people may think there are two threads recuriting for a diplomacy game but think there is only likly to be one game. As I only needed 1 or 2 players rather than 7 or so this seemed reasonable. Apolgies though to anyone annoyed by my actions.

valmir · « **Reply #11 on:** March 11, 2006, 04:09:14 AM »

I'm fine with it. I think he's probably more likely to steal potential Taal players by starting his own thread. This way, at least they're all in the same place.

Given that 'irene' will be winding up soon (that's right, Sigsfried, I'll pry you out of Iberia soon... sooner than you think!

), I can take on one more game if you can't find anyone that's never played before.

And, Raging, how come you haven't signed up for either of these games?

(Damn... gotta get out of that habit...)

RagingKileak · « **Reply #12 on:** March 11, 2006, 08:10:11 AM »

I guess I wouldnt mind signing up for another one mate.

I'm really enjoying Morr.

The problem is I only have my hotmail account, and my work email account and I really cannot manage 2 games coming into my hotmail - I am still not 100% used to the system with just the 1 game happening.

I am tempted to sign up with my work email... but... you know how that sort of thing can end up.

If you struggle for players mate, let me know and I will join your game. I can work something out.

Matt

Guvnor · « **Reply #13 on:** March 11, 2006, 04:56:51 PM »

Something to consider:

I know valmir and sigsfried and myself are all signed up to USOS, so by using USOS you can easily tell the difference between games.

It only really gets confusing when you have two games, same country, same judge.

Luckily nobody is talking to me in tokyo...

Would that solve your problem matt?

RagingKileak · « **Reply #14 on:** March 11, 2006, 05:03:32 PM »

Erm,

I dont know... If I could set up mail rules with Hotmail (which AFAIK I cannot) then I could set a rule for each judge. Simple.

Now, I PROBABLY can get away with playing via my work account. The problem will be if somehow mail cannot be received by my work account - because it thinks the judge is spam or whatever, then I guess that will cause a delay for the other players whilst we either resolve it, or someone else takes over.

I'll probably play anyway, if you need me. I always find a way round these things!

If you want a Gmail account to use for diplomacy I can give you an invite.

Guvnor · « **Reply #16 on:** March 12, 2006, 07:18:34 PM »

Hmmm...

Have we got a way of finding four more people?

I can send out a broadcast in morr (as I know some people don't often check the site) and since Valmir is still in sigmar he can do the same, no?

LizardKing · « **Reply #17 on:** March 13, 2006, 11:20:13 PM »

I'm in if you still need people. I wont drop out partway through this time eitehr.

oh yeah....thewickerman239(at) yahoo (dot) com

Guvnor · « **Reply #19 on:** March 14, 2006, 09:21:02 AM »

So that makes me, sigsfried, cisse and lizardking. And possibly raging, four or five. Only 2 more!

sigsfried · « **Reply #20 on:** March 14, 2006, 08:42:25 PM »

Does anyone have any information on how to master a game? I'm going to be running one soon but don't know how.

Guvnor · « **Reply #21 on:** March 16, 2006, 09:57:52 AM »

Look on the Diplomacy Judge Users Guide.

I have no idea how this game works, but if you still need somebody sign me up.

Gutsy,

If you want the rules for Diplomacy, look here.
More info can be found here.
To know how to actually play the game, look at the newbie guide that has been around here for some time.

It could also be usefull to read the post-game comments on previoud Warhammer-Empire Diplomacy games, found in the Count's Tavern forum.
