I did see a java web-type map someone created for what I have in mind, but it was too limited for the abuse I plan on heaping on it.


Gotcha... makes sense. I've really only used one mapping program, RealPolitik. It works well and has been my mapper of choice for years. There's also a program called PalmPolitik that I've downloaded but I've not tested out. It synchronizes with RealPolitik.

Hey, I'm Germany, and I'm surrounded. I gotta talk to everyone, all the time! :)


Watch him Nash. He's been bad mouthing all you guys and sweet talking me and frankly I've never trusted banana anyway. He'll stab someone in the back before this is over.

It's a war game. On the surface, compare with Risk, but it's much more complex.

There are no turns. Everyone moves at the same time.

There is no element of chance. There are no dice, no cards.

The rules are here: http://www.avalonhill.com/rules/diplomacy.pdf

"He'll stab someone in the back before this is over." - Airhead

banana is this true???!!!:eek:

Sorry banana, your email got lost in the flood of Diplomacy emails that I got bombarded with initially. I ordered some beginners info package from the 1st judge and it sent me about 15 emails; yours landed in the middle of it. Anyhow... I just checked it and will fire you off a reply today. You really ought not talk about Airhead that way. He's always seemed like a good guy to me.

Thanks Sand for those links - will have a look.

(side note... unrelated... but I have nowhere to put this. Based on someone here mentioning Phil Hendrie, I downloaded a bunch of his shows from Kazaa... Man - it is hysterical! I can't believe I haven't heard of him before. The show I'm listening to at this moment is about a Korean War vet who killed his neighbour's french toy poodle because its barking was taunting him over the Iraq war. "It was saying "I am French, I am French, I'm a French toy poodle". "The owner got the dog's hair teased out as an intentional provocation to myself and other vets".

OK airhead resigned from the game and we are awaiting a replacement.

Not using judge to communicate because my account is having spam issues at the moment, and this baynesian filter is only half done....

Whats the current status anyone?

Good question...

Last I heard from anyone was banana's email asking for a postponed start due to a death in the family causing him to be away until Monday (tomorrow). I replied that it was cool with me, but I haven't heard from anyone else.

I also haven't heard what the status is on Airhead's replacement. My understanding is that AKIron was going to fill that spot, but haven't heard if that's gone through or what the deal is there...

My understanding is that Sandman is going to be back from his biz trip today or tomorrow so hopefully he gets control of this and we can finally start this thing early this week.

Btw., I added a filter in my email that sends everything with "Diplomacy" in either the subject line or the body to be sent to a new and seperate folder I created. So far it's worked perfectly, keeping all my diplomacy email in one tidy place.

DAMN it, Nash :eek:

Could you have found an avatar that's any more distracting?

She defies gravity, for Cod's sake! :p

Biz trip...  nope... I've been in the Emigrant Wilderness, far from the internet and even cell phones.

Got an email... AKIron is out also so I need someone to step up and take England.

Sheesh...

Damn...is this game ever gonna start?  Do our moves that we already turned in still count?  I will be out of town for a couple of days but my moves are in so it should be cool.  Let me know if we need someone to fill in for AKIron.  I have a friend who might want to play.

I'm back. So as soon as we get someone to play England, looks like we'll finally be ready to roll.
