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'll play again. Will we actually have enough players this time though?

I would suggest barring players from having the same country this time, to make it more interesting.

We already got enough players for Ancient Mediterranean + a dedicated GM. The minimum has already been cracked.

I was also planning to suggest this (avoid same country if we use Calhamer map again). Good way to make sure it gets mixed up some.

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.
