Organizing Games Anyone up for the next game of Dippy?

posted by Skyrock on Diplomacy

I already wrote about the variants I would prefer (depending on player number) here: https://phuks.co/s/Diplomacy/11297

I'd be willing to GM next. Whether as a dedicated GM, or as a GM-player, would depend on the final number of players who want a re-match, and what variant they'd prefer.

One change I would do is week-long turns. The 2-3 days per turn felt a bit rushed, especially with players who didn't respond right away and/or had to be caught in IRC to squeeze a reply out of them.

I'm setting myself up as tie breaker and also voting for 7 Islands so we can move on.

I will later use an online dice roller to decide who gets which country. It is the Metstubchen roller with the code "FD2-2017", directly linked here. I'm giving the link out a few hours before I roll so that you can see I am not switching to a different code if I don't like the result.

Order of players, each assigned to a result on the D7 (I will later use a successively smaller die and collapse as countries are assigned):

Countries will be given out in alphabetical order:

Austria
England
France
Germany
Italy
Russia
Turkey

I take back what I said about barring people from playing the same country again. I kind of want to be kebab now.

I also support not supporting PMYA's idea, which was originally a support of my idea supporting playing different nations.

Those responsible for the original supporting have been sacked.

Diplomacy is a strategic board game created by Allan B. Calhamer in 1954 and released commercially in 1959. It's main features from other board games are it's negotiation phases, where players talk to each other, forming alliances and other deals, and the complete lack of luck in the resolution of combat in the game. It has a wide player-base both online and in e-mail and even postal games.

Check the link below for detailed information on the game itself, including the full text of Richard Sharp's book on the game, The Game of Diplomacy.
