Boardgames: Diplomacy!

[Maerdwyn]

Okay we will soon be ready to go.

As nikolai suggested, it looks like Bounced will be the easiest place to have our game hosted and adjudicated - if that works for you all, please register over there (www.dipbounced.com), and post your account names here. As soon as everyone is set with that , we can request a private game be set up for us and a human judge to, well, judge it. (I believe that's how it works - is that right, nikolai?)

If you've never played before (or if you haven't played in a long time, like me) it would be a good idea to familiarize yourselves with the rules:

If you have any rules or general strategy questions, post here and we can discuss.

my account at Bounced is "iliston"

For posting frequency, how does 2 days for move orders, 1 for adjustments/builds, weekends excepted sound?

 

[rushlight]

My account name is "rushlight".

The move frequency sounds fine to me. Is the diplomacy phase folded into the move phase?

 

[Maerdwyn]

The move frequency sounds fine to me. Is the diplomacy phase folded into the move phase?

yup

(I really should go to sleep at some point tonight.)

 

[Abstraction]

My name over there is Abstraction. The timing sounds fine to me.

My account name on Bounced is leederick. I'm actually a GM on the system, so if you want me to set up and GM the game there I can do that (I won't be able to play if I do this however).

 

[Maerdwyn]

Nikolai - thanks for the offer, and I may take you up on it; but only if you would actually enjoy judging the game, and don't mind not playing in it. Otherwise, as the guy who has been doing this for a while, could you help me through the right way to find another judge for our group?

 

[Mark]

My account name is "MarkCMG". The move frequency sounds fine to me. Thanks for including me in the game.

Maerdwyn;

I'd love to create the game. I'll do so now. I'll post details when I'm done.

 

[Vargo]

I'm 'inthane' on Bounced.

The game has been created. It is called ENWorldPrivateGame. The settings are as requested. To join, simply find the game name in the "Other Games" list on www.dipbounced.com, click on ENWorldPrivateGame, and then and hit join.

At the bottom of the game's name page you will find a Preference List box. This is the (only) way I can use as a GM to give people the powers they want. We can do this two ways:

(1) Type the letter which represents the country assigned to you (from AEFGIRT, A for Austria-Hungary, E for England, and so on) in this box before hitting join.

(2) Or you can all enter a full preference list. Such as "ETFRGIA" (would most like to play England, then Turkey, then France,... and would least like Austria). And the system will assign the nations which would make everyone the happiest.

Maerdwyn, which do you want to go for?
