Just throwing it out there.  If we got enough, I could even be Game Master.  We need a total of 7 players plus a GM.  This isn't really a sign up, just trying to see if there's interest.

I hate to see your thread not get any responses. But I'm not interested. I got too much work, and I've discovered the History in the Making Mod for Civ4 BTS which will sate my SP Civ urge during what free time I'll have over the next six months.

I'm tired of having PBEMs that get held up or ended by technical problems. I'm imposing a moratorium on all PBEMs for myself for a while.

I was minded to compare this site to a sort-of-private Facebook, but, on reflection, that's not right . . . Nope. Here is a forum to exchange views and discuss topics and maybe have some literary fun; post some interesting pics (not Megabits of family krap); flag up some internet sites of Interest; pass on the occasional joke. To me, (struggling for analogy here) it's bit more like a quiet and cosy pub with locals you know and the occasional visitor from "outside"; thick stone walls and a cellar full of well-kept ale. Facebook, on the other hand, is some awful massive city-centre club that serves Fosters lager.   And, you know what? I am not unhappy with that analogy. I prefer the pub.

Maybe when I win the lotto...

-I'll have to wait until I get my internet access up at home before jumping into anything. That might be as early as thursday(Fingers crossed).

I'm not exactly available at the moment either but that should be changing very soon.  Trying to see what kind of interest there would be though before plowing into it. 

I'm tired of having PBEMs that get held up or ended by technical problems. I'm imposing a moratorium on all PBEMs for myself for a while.

Well, our last one was great in that aspect.  It just ended prematurely because of the actions of a few...

No worries but you should know it's not civ at all (writing this for the benefit of anyone who reads).  There is a bit of time consumption, however long deadlines could remedy that to a degree.  7 days per turn is definately doable, though I worry that the long time in between may cause some to lose interest.  The time between turns is for the purpose of talking with the other players to decide the moves you will coordinate.  That's really where your time is taken up, not in actually playing the turns.  Anyway, we've had almost no dropouts when we organize a private game for ourselves. 

Here's some links for those who are interested:

Diplomacy information
Game rules writen out by Winner

War Room
A utility mostly used to judge games but it can also work as a substitute for the board game itself.

Hasbro 2000 Edition Rule Book
The rule book in .pdf format.

The Diplomatic Pouch
A Diplomacy fan site with lots of contents.

The History of Diplomacy
The Wikipedia Diplomacy article.

BOUNCED
The Medium we use to play Diplomacy.

Not trying to sell it, just trying to make sure you know what we're talking about.  I'd rather make sure people are commited to stick it out than just join to make me feel better .  If we get enough interest we'll play, if not, we won't.

If you're like me, you're tired of hearing about the economy, tired of hearing about the election and tired of civ... or at least are incapable of actually playing it . Is the time right for a game of Diplomacy? If there is any interest at all, please say so. Don't be shy, it's not hard to figure out. Trust me .

PS: I don't want to be game master though . We need a minimum of 7 and possibly the GM.
