Come play diplomacy!

[Tigranes]

Let's play diplomacy with fellow forumers, making us even more chummier than chummy can be!

There's a 7-player map and a 10-player map. Sign up, register, enter moves, talk to each other, scheme, backstab, and all that jazz. Our theme: The Pan-European War of Putinian Aggression.

 

Interest?

[Malcador]

I'm down for this

[Valsuelm]

What kind of time commitment are we talking?

[Guard Dog]

I remember this! This was a board game back when I was a kid!

What kind of time commitment are we talking?

 

We can set 24 hour or 48 hour turns (the latter can be a bit of a drag though), check in once or twice per turn, spend 5-10 minutes looking at your options and sending PMs to people to scheme, would be the basic threshold.

I kinda want to play, but I feel really uncomfortable playing a game like this multiplayer that I haven't played at least ONCE singleplayer. Hm...

You can't really play diplomacy single-player, it would be like Risk single-player. The game mechanics are simple and the number of sensible moves you can make at any given time is rather limited. 80% of the game is making deals with fellow players and backstabbing them.

 

Anyway, we can do this if we have 7 or more interested.

I'm interested, but am not 100% sure I can commit. How long do you think playing a game might take in day/week/month terms? My availability to play games gets curtailed as the weather improves. As such, I would likely prefer a 48 hour turn, as at some points in the coming months it won't be feasible for me to be at a computer every single day of the week, yet at least every other should be doable. Would 48 hours not potentially also make for more actual diplomacy?

[Tigranes]

Sure, we can do 48 hours, there's no rush. That makes 3 or maybe 4 of us. 

[Rosbjerg]

I'm game.

[Hurlshort]

I can do this.

[Deraldin]

Sure why not. I had fun while it lasted when we played last time around. I'm in.
