Game of Diplomacy?

Post by Blackferne » Fri Jun 27, 2014 7:57 pm

Tomorrow is the 100th anniversary of teh assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The even that sparked the first World War.

I am wondering if there is interest in a game of diplomacy to commemorate the occasion.

(Using teh diplomacy website http://www.playdiplomacy.com/games.php?subpage=active probably 24 hour or 48 hour turns, weekends off)

If interested sign up below (first 7, we'll do a reduced player game if we don't hit 7):
Blackferne
Dood
Whitey
Fynn
Furiel
Maizan
(1 more spot)



For the diplomacy novice: people will lie to you, betray you, and sometimes sell you out. But if you don't have some kind of trust at some level you can't achieve anything.

Go to the site. Search for game title 'Alvian Conquest' password Alvis

Set you preferences for countries and join the game. I have orders set to two days, and retreats and builds are 24 hours. I want to make sure everyone has a chance to play and no one misses a deadline.
