CloseAlright so I've been thinking about this for a while. Would there be interest in playing some Diplomacy?
It takes seven players and it is the game of intrigue and warfare that has broken up friendships since 1959.
The wikipedia page and this site has the most basic overview of the rules. I know there was a Diplo game attempted once before here (many years ago) but I'm pretty sure it stalled at turn three or four. Such is the game of Diplomacy.
But signups. Join if you want to. I will be the gamemaster and handle the orders and you will never be friends again. Sounds like a plan?
When you sign up also state which faction you'd like to play as (British, French, Italian, German, Austrian, Russian or Turkish)
If you have any questions. Feel free to ask. I'm usually terrible at explaining these things.
Current signups:
1. NeverSilent - Germany
2. OzzyTheOne - Russia
3. pianotm - Turkey
4. ESBY - France
5. TonyThomas - Britain
6. Dudesoft - Austria
7. Kloe - Italy
Another rules overview:

Fall 1902:
Austria:
Fleet alb Hold
Army boh -> mun (bounced with ruh -> mun supported by kie and returns to boh)
Army vie -> tyr

Army lon Supports wal
Fleet nth Hold (but is dislodged by hel -> nth supported by hol)

Army bel -> pic
Fleet bre -> mao

Army ruh -> mun
Italy:

Fleet swe -> nwy
Turkey:
Fleet ank -> con
Army bul Supports gre
Fleet gre Supports bul (but is interrupted by ion -> gre)
Army smy Hold
It is now Winter 1902. Build and disband.

author=ShinanSo I've got nothing to lose, right? =)
the game of intrigue and warfare that has broken up friendships since 1959.
Sure, why not? I'll make the boring choice and play as Germany, then.
(It might also be a good idea to play one practice turn before actually beginning the game, so that any misunderstandings can be cleared up in time.)
Ohhh, I wanted to be Germany, oh well, Russia will do.
Suffice to say, I'll be joining!
EDIT: Russia no need friends, Russia stronk!

I can switch to Britain if you want, Ozzy, so you can pick Germany. We haven't started the game yet, so I still get to be nice now.

If two people pick the same thing we'll just randomize it and you can be enemies for life!
In Diplomacy there is also some quite specific syntax for orders but I'm going to go with the rule that if I know what you intend that's what you intend. Even so we could do a first test turn if there is much demand. I guess I'll also make some kind of example turn.

Hmm, to be the German Empire or to be the Russian Empire, hard choices indeed.
I think I'll stay with the Russian empire.

Hmm...I can't go with Britain. I'm part German, too, but I didn't really consider it, and Ozzy's deciding on it anyway. I would have picked my Persain/Arab heritage anyway.
Turkish.
(Although, my second language is French...
Just kidding, I've decided on Turkish!)

Already read up the rules, it's a very interesting game! Can't wait unitl we have 7 players gathered.

Woo only two more and we can start zis game. Surely it will end in peaceful resolution. (in the game remember that you can at any time agree on a peace also :P)
Also if there are any rules questions. I know that in StP (Saint Petersburg) you can't go from the south coast to the north coast with a fleet. So no moving from BOT to StP to BAR. Even though fleets generally can move to adjacent waters.
Also if the place names are unclear for people I'm going to try to dig up something we can use. I have the boardgame version so I'm thinking of setting that up on a table I never use and take photographs of progress using the actual boardgame :)

Austria it is.
Also only one spot left. I would love it if this actually happened. I hope you who signed up ages ago haven't forgotten about it (and will encourage anyone to take that last spot as Italy. Because as we all know Italy was the winner in both world wars)
I also set up the boardgame so we should be good to go.

Woooo, only one more player! Let's get this wat started! I can feel the friendships shattering already.
Edit: Wow, you even went a bought (I suppose you bought it) the actual board game for this. I really hope we get 7 people together and don't abandon this forum game. ^_^;

Well I bought it like five years ago from a friend who said "I'm never going to play this so I should just get rid of it." and I told him "I'm never going to play this so I'm going to buy it from you."
For a couple of game nights after that, between games when wondering what to play next, I would always suggest "How about a quick casual game of Diplomacy".

I was hesitating as it seems really tricky and complicated and stuff, but if you need someone and nobody else will take the slot, I'm in.
It shouldn't be too hard, you just need to be good at backstabbing people. Look at this like a mafia game but everyone knows you want to kill them.

Alright the game is unofficially on!
I will send out PMs to all participants later (possibly tomorrow) so that anyone who might have forgotten but you can begin your scheming at any time. Turns will be resolved after some suitable time limit (suggestions? I might allow for nearly a week maybe?) or when everyone has submitted their orders.
There are apparently (from my photograph) three areas that have a north and a south coast for fleets to be at. It's St Petersburg, Bulgaria and Spain. So remember those when considering orders. Also the Russian St. Petersburg fleet starts on the South Coast according to the rules I have.

Okay, here we go! Good luck, everyone!
Shinan, I have some questions:
Is it possible to have multiple units stationed in the same area? And if not, how do we move our units through our own territory, for example if we want a unit from a central country to move closer to the border of our empire?
What happens if two or more players are trying to move units to the same unoccupied area? And what if multiple players attack the same area at the same time if it's occupied by a third player?
Also, could you add the colour of each player's faction to the list of participants? Right now, it's still easy to see who is who, but that might change quickly once territories change hands. Thanks!
