Yet another Standard Rules, Standard Map game kicks off. This one is a 2-Season game using Preference Order Lists (POLs) for potential retreats and adjustments. Information on the 2-Season game year and POLs can be found in the GM House Rules – there’s a link on the game page. It’ll take you to my GM site for DiplomaticCorp games. There’s a slideshow of the map history for each game I run. Wait for these to load as the initial delay means you can just navigate forwards and backwards quickly.

The time for all deadlines is 20:00 UTC/GMT. Deadlines will usually be 5-6 days apart, Mon-Sun inclusive. Adjudications will usually be out within 24 hours.

First deadline falls on Thursday, 12th June 2008.

The game is named ‘The Scum on the Slop Bucket’, because when asked whether I’d GM the next standard game it was couched in the terms ‘are you up for “slop” '. I have a feeling ‘slop’ and ‘slot’ got confused, but it seemed somehow appropriate for a Diplomacy game.
