Diplomacy

[Gelgarin]

The board game.

Anyone play and/or have an interest in playing? I have premium membership on playdiplomacy and figured it might be fun to host a game with a few of my compatriots. Any interest?

 

[shattered dreams]

Never played before but it sounds like an interesting game.

You'll just beat me like you do in Magic, you sumbitch.

Except diplomacy is a lot more like commander, so if I start winning I could expect six guys ganging up on me.

The nice thing about Diplomacy is that the game itself takes little to no skill to play. Once you grasp the basics it becomes incredibly easy; what matters is your ability to wheel and deal behind the scenes, and that's what will decide the winner nine games out of ten (the other time Russia just sweeps the board whilst everyone else is pissing about).

I am intrigued by this game. Never heard of it before, but sounds interesting.

 

[Tiger Chaos Theory]

I'll play.

 

[Loveless]

I'm intrigued. Although that could just be the Intriguenol I took this morning.

 

[Gelgarin]

Given that it takes seven for a proper game it doesn't seem that we have the interest. I might try again at a later date.

 

[Natural Selection]

Never heard of it, but would be willing to give it a try. I need a new game to play.
