Hey everyone, and welcome to this, the 320th game of Diplomaticcorp Diplomacy!


This is just a little pre- pre-game email to tell you that a pre-game mail is in the works, and make sure you've all signed up for a game of Diplomacy! If that is not your game, or you thought you were signing up for Parcheese, that's the next door down.

But if it is Diplomacy that you seek, let me know!

We have 7 signed up, so I need a reply from 7 players to get us rolling. I tend to run a pretty tight ship when it comes to Dip, and this game should be no exception. That is, results will come out fairly timely when the deadline comes about. In the first year, I don't allow NMRs. I will hold a game for anyone who hasn't got moves in, just in case there's any newbies who don't quite know the ropes, etc. Once year 1 is complete, then we move to the normal pace of a week per major turn! That's around 5-6 days for the spring or fall phase, and 1-2 days for any retreats or builds. We'll probly settle on a consistent day of the week, tho I haven't thought that far ahead yet.

If you have country preferences: Pls submit them in the AEFGIRT fashion, listing them from most to least preferred. If "any" is ok, let me know that too. Also if you have any allergies we need to know about, or if any of you suffer from UPS (uncontrollable predisposition to stabbing) - others might want to know that up front.

I think that's about it for now!
More when we have 7 confirmed.
