Guys, I need your email address that you'll be using for our game of Diplomacy so that I can send you all the secret password to join the game.

Please post it here, or send me an email at jdahlen@us.ibm.com

If you send me an email, please remember to include your callsign so I know who the email is from.

Here are some good links to get you started on understanding Diplomacy:

To register go here:
http://www.floc.net/dpjudge/dppd/

Here's a good spot to start reading about Diplomacy: http://www.diplom.org/

You can ignore anything said about using the "Ken Lowe" system. We use the "DPJudge" system.

Here are the official Diplomacy rules(in pdf format):http://www.avalonhill.com/rules/diplomacy.pdf

Here's a great spot for reading up on strategy. http://www.diplomacy-archive.com/resources/strategy.htm

Once I get your email address, I'll send you each an email explaining how to join the game.

Sent. Will be at the con for the weekend, so I dunno how much I'll be checking email and the BB. Apologies in advance if I take a while to reply to anything else.

Actually... can I come over and kick your dog just for drill?

I'm in... Power#1.

Oh... and YGM = "You've got mail."

The game will automatically start when all seven players have joined.

I have the "Civil Disorder" rule enabled. What that means is that if you miss a deadline, the DPJudge does your turn for you. Which means that during a movement phase, all of your units will do nothing. They will sit there and "hold". If you miss a retreat deadline, the judge will disband your unit! And if you miss a build deadline, then the judge will waive your build.

As you can see, it would be a good idea to not miss a deadline.

If you run into extremely urgent circumstances, like you'll be out on vacation on a deserted island for a week, then just send a broadcast press out to everyone asking for a delay for that phase. If the majority of folks don't have a problem with that, I'll gladly extend the deadline for a phase until you get back.

Email sent...thanks banana! And I don't think they'll kill your dog, I think they'll hunt you down like a dog and kill you if you break the rules. After that, I'm afraid to even joke about thinking of cheating. Yikes!

We have four people who have joined the game:

Sandman
fd-ski
Sikboy
SOB

Schadenfreude and Tarmac have sent me their email address, and have the instructions how to join, but have not done so yet.

I still need Engine's email address.
