I've heard of Diplomacy

I have a question for all of you. Who here plays the game Diplomacy? I ask because I haven't played in about a year and I am looking to get back into it.

If I were to set up a private game on Play Diplomacy would anyone be interested in joining up? I would need 6 more players to get a game going.

If you are interested in playing, would 2 days to negotiate with other players and decide on a course of action during the Order and Retreat phases, and a single day to decide on your Builds, work for you? I really wouldn't go with less time than that, but I am open to making the turns take longer.

So, what do you say? Who wants to take over Europe?

So...no Diplomacy? by son_of_heaven176 on 2014-03-20 21:10:00 UTC Reply

It seems we are two people short and way too for down the page.

I've never played the game before, but having seen the rules, I'm willing to try my hand.

So, the videos were helpful, then?

I saw a different set of videos that were on the "Rules" page of the site. Those videos are also on Youtube, but the video quality is poor.

It's been a while since I've tried to take over Europe.

and I'd be interested in playing. Two-day turns should be enough for me as well.

Since you are new to the game... by Phobos on 2014-03-13 16:02:00 UTC Reply

I would recommend reading some of the articles under the Rules tab on the site. They do a really good job of explaining the game.

Unfortunately, by son_of_heaven176 on 2014-03-13 21:12:00 UTC Reply

the site makes the stupid move of requiring you to register before allowing you to access the Rules tab. One would think that I would want to know the rules in order to decide if registering is worth my while!

Fortunately, by son_of_heaven176 on 2014-03-13 21:23:00 UTC Reply

There is a series of videos on YouTube that explains the rules.

I might give that a try . . . by doctorlit on 2014-03-13 07:04:00 UTC Reply

Though, don't expect me to last very long. I tend to not be very good at such games.

Good, long turns would be perfect for me and my work schedule.
