I have read the website, and have been following a couple games for a while, but I have not actually played a game yet. So I was thinking maybe someone could give me some tips, or help me get into a game.

There are a number of online interfaces to play Diplomacy
One is DPJudge - though it seems to be not as popular as some of the others I think it's the easiest to learn.
The other is USIN which seems very popular and there are games looking for players - try these links.
Also I think Sandman is looking for some poor soul to play Austria in his game after someone dropped out.

Inferno, hang out here for awhile and Sandman will be around to get you into a game we have going now. The person playing Austria had to drop out, so we have an immediate opening. :)

Heh, I can see why he dropped out. ;)
I'll look at those links. Thanks guys.

Advice for Diplomacy
1) Stuff a 2'x3' steel plate down the back of your shirt.
2) Make sure your dagger is nice and sharp
3) There is no such thing as paranoia in Diplomacy: everyone really is out to get you.
4) Diplomacy is the name of the game: make sure you are talking to all the other players all the time, even if they are marching their Imperial Guard through your Triumphal Arch.
5) Smile all the time.

If ya need a hand, just ask. I'd be more than happy to look over your shoulder or help out however you need it in your first game.
