I read the manual and loved the concept but never got to play it because you need 7 devoted people. I thought "wouldn't it be great if there were some sort of 'internet' where you could play with people around the world and save the game state"? And then there weren't any good versions on the internet when that came out. But now there is! http://phpdiplomacy.net/ is a good Diplomacy site online, it looks like! A large community, ranking system, and a simple way to deal with turns (1 day period in which to take your turn, if you miss multiple turns your country is in Civil Disorder and users from outside the game can take over for you) I registered as "Nekrotzar" and joined game "CAPS LOCK"! You guys should join 'cause it needs seven players to start and it would be nice to have other total beginners or whatever. And all my deadbeat friends are "apprehensive", when this is the sort of thing you just join as soon as you find out about it! Which I did! you should too.

I'll look into it, but I've been super busy lately, I think syko can attest as my posting in the spam forums has dropped dramatically.

It's completely your choice though, of course. Edited by Chal'ocks Kyntxisson, Mar 3 2009, 03:59 PM.

Perhaps when April rolls around I'll be able to do something with it, but for now it looks like neither Peter or I will be able to. =( Sorry!
