Whoops, ok guys, we're a couple of days late, everyone post if you're interested in playing, and if so, whom. And gordo, what about that Diplomacy forum? Somewhere locked?

Yes. And what do you mean by whom? What are the choices?

Post by **thibodeaux** » Tue Jan 18, 2005 5:50 pm

I'm in. The choices are the powers: England, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Turkey, Russia. But technically they are supposed to be assigned randomly.

I'm prolly too busy to get in to a new game for a while, but I could make y'all a special forum, if y'all wanted.

We'all wanted.

And they can be assigned randomly or picked. I'll go with the majority preference here.

So, what kind of time commitment does this game require?

Post by **thibodeaux** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 11:01 am

Well, if we were to sit down and play it face-to-face on a table-top, it would take probably 10-12 hours. I think if we allot so many days per turn, it won't be too bad; maybe one turn per week?

Because all the moves are simultaneous, we can say we all submit them to the judge on a certain day, and give him a day or so to apply them. It really only takes a few minutes to do that, but people have commitments.

Yes, I was thinking of turn in by 5pm Saturdays and I will have the results up Sunday afternoon to evening.

If you need an impartial "judge" to manage the emailed moves, I could probably do that. Figure out an easy format that I can just copy paste the info onto your public discussion forum, or whatever or something.

I've already taken the duty of getting in the info and disseminating the information.

Aren't you playing though?

Post by **Leisher** » Sat Jan 22, 2005 1:06 am

I still haven't looked to see what kind of game this is, but if there are still slots open, I'll play.

Post by **thibodeaux** » Sat Jan 22, 2005 9:55 am

So is that 3 or 4 peeps so far?

Well ok then. . . I guess Gordon will see you in hell. Or something.

Him first.

Why don't you play? There're very little rules to consider.

Post by **Cakedaddy** » Tue Jan 25, 2005 1:59 pm

Cause I don't want to play with those geeks.

Actually, I guess I could say I wouldn't have time to really get into it. And more importantly, I don't think I have the attention span to stay into the game for 6-12 weeks.

Sooooo.....who's in?
Thib
Catt
Leisher

Anybody else?

If the time requirements are only a few minutes a week, I'm not sure I understand why anyone wouldn't have time to play.
