Looking for two more players for a Diplomacy game - Phukers only!

posted by TheRedArmy on Diplomacy

Over in the Modern Powers side of things, I was attempting to organize a group of 7 to play a game to diplomacy, with me running the show as a neutral GM.

While we have 5 entrants so far, thanks to @pmya, @jidlaph, @boukert, @fluf, and @redviiper, we need two more for a complete game. Experience or knowledge of the game doesn't matter - two of our players are relatively new themselves, and I, as the neutral GM, will be available to answer any questions during the game. It will be played over a few weeks, but it's not much of a time sink, so even on a time budget you should be able to participate; even better if you can get on our IRC channel from time to time to chat in real-time with other players. You can find it here - https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.goat.chat:+6697#modernpowers

Hope to see you guys there!

All right! That just leaves one more.

Or, if everyone is content with accepting that I don't cheat (because I don't, but wouldn't a cheater say that :P), I can fill the last spot myself. But I think it would be much smoother if we have 7 players and a 8th (myself) serving as GM.

You could also simply use the six player option with Italy as sitting duck.

Yes, although I've never liked that option. I suppose if people were OK with it, Perhaps it wouldn't be all bad, but I feel like Austria has a much easier time of it if Italy is just sitting on ass. If people were down for it, I wouldn't mind, although a 7th would definitely be preferred.

@pmya, @jidlaph, @boukert, @fluf, @redviiper? Any thoughts, if you guys are even still game (it was a while ago when I first brought it up).

I wouldn't really mind if you switched from GM to 7th player either, as long as you can separate your roles as player and as arbiter / rule oracle.

I just thought I'd mention that option, as it is the official solution for a lacking player. (I have never tried it in actual play, as the few times I have played Dippy have been with a full house.)

Whatever gets the ball rolling is fine by me.

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.
