Diplomacy Online

[scottishranger]

Diplomacy Online Competition.

Has anyone ever played the old Avalon Hill board game called Diplomacy? It's basically a simplified Medieval Total War. It takes place in pre WW1 Europe, with seven players becoming the rulers of different great powers and duking it out. It's all about forming alliances, betrayals, selling information, and eventually winning complete dominance.


Here are some videos to help you understand the rules:

What I'm suggesting is playing the version online, about one turn a day, and seeing how TWC's and the .Orgs best and brightest can work their way to the top.

We'll play on the website: playdiplomacy.com, so if you're interested, head over and sign up.

Post if your interested and which country you would like to play as:
Players so far.

England:
France: Feliks
Italy:
Germany: Estlander

We tried it a few times, but couldn't get players to commit. I was a replacement England last time we tried it here.

You can start password-protected games.

Though if you would prefer to do it here, I will be Russia.

I tried to play this game once, the boardgame.
There was an old version sitting in a classroom, back before I left school, and I brought it up while in Maths, unpacked it and proceeded to play.

There were no instructions.

It looked so inviting! So brilliant, but I never got to play it properly, and I was reprimanded by the teacher - who I ignored.

Perfect for people who like Total War games.

[scottishranger]

Okay, the game is set up.

First you need to register at the site playdiplomacy, then go to the "Joinable Games" tab.

The title of the game is: TWC
The Password is: girlscout

[PershsNhpios]

Why isn't the password Boyscout?
Are you hiding something?

Oh.. that's right you're Scottish!

I reserve the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

[CountArach]

Bah! The name TWC almost made me want to not play...

[scottishranger]

Bah! The name TWC almost made me want to not play...

hehe, sorry. We just wanted to make it recognizable.

I promise next time we will name the .org or something like that.

[PershsNhpios]

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Wouldn't mind if it kicks off after capo finishes.

If capo is still going, put me in as a back-up in case of dropouts.

[The Stranger]

[Caius]

In as Italy, never played it.

In as Italy, never played it.

Its a pretty simple game really, read the help section to get a basic understanding. Remember, no agreement is binding, no matter what.

We just need everyone to confirm, then well get started.

[The Stranger]

i doubt everyone knows they have to and how... i didnt knew either... i just stumbled on the mail accidentally...

Just to clarify, everyone has needs to check their email and confirm with the email the site sent you.

[CountArach]

Confirmed

[PershsNhpios]

Tell, "Estlander", that if he doesn't confirm his game soon I'm getting on the first plane to Estland and I'm going to teach him to respect my patience!

[Caius]

Wow, take it easy man.

[PershsNhpios]

Oops! It started.. Orders are completed now.. I'm at the centre of all things!

I'm currently planning to install that onto my webspace.

[Csargo]

anyone interested in another game?

I'd play if it was on the phpdiplomacy site. Though I may join the other site as well.

[Caius]

Well, so far Caius is a prime candidate for the lynch.

He has shown several signs of being Mafia.

As well as being a total sleuth in the Diplomacy game.

Turns are in a day. I hope things go good for all, except poor Glenn.

[CountArach]

I'd play if it was on the phpdiplomacy site. Though I may join the other site as well.

From what I can tell so far phpdiplomacy is much faster. 1 Day for turns, instead of the 3 days this site has.

[seireikhaan]

I've made a game at the PHP site, if anyone wants to join. The game title is TW org, password is shagro.

[Ferret]

I'll join

edit: is it already full because it's not on the joinable games list?
