Diplomacy: A Game About Friendship

[PaulHaynek]

Greetings all. I'm here to announce that I'm interested in being a GM/DM/Judge/Executioner of a board game of Diplomacy. What's Diplomacy, you ask? Well if you want to get the full picture, you can click this or this. Simply put, you take control of one nation and you order your troops around to take over the land. Of course that means removing troops from positions that might be attacked so you must ensure that whoever's doing the attacking do not attack through... you guessed it, diplomacy. This is a somewhat simple game and I will retool the rules to fit the play-by-post style. This means we're gonna be utilizing the PMs. WARNING: This RP may induce frustration and stress and personal insulting and banter has a good chance of occurring. Please warn me if such a thing is prohibited. Sooo... any takers? Anyone interested?

[Chairman Stein]

Yes! Diplomacy was, back in the day, the story of my life!

[Durandal]

Looks interesting, though I've never played it before. Do we need to have previous knowledge of the rules of the game and is there somewhere online where the rules can be accessed?

[UltikanaRe]

^I am also interested. I love pillaging, plundering, raping, mass murdering, and above all, sneaking around and lying to people. I also have never played, but I am quick learner :-)

[AndersBlakewood]

I'm up for it, if some rules can be explained to me :P

[PaulHaynek]

The rules can be accessed in the first link (the Wikipedia one). However, as I said I will be changing some of them to fit the play-by-post style and to fit my tastes. Though technically, there are no rules. Just how to play the game. I'm a prepare the OOC.

[Polaris North]

Sign me up Paul. Time to use my non-existent strategy skills!

[AkaylaTheWriter]

I'm in. This sounds fun.

[UltikanaRe]

Reading a bit. I like backstabbin' peeps. Are actual to-the-end alliances allowed? I am planning to have 1 backstabbin' bud to pull off a few devious maneuvers with. Also, I assume PMs (meaning private messages) are allowed?

[PaulHaynek]

OOC is up. Grab your selected countries!

[AkaylaTheWriter]

Can I claim the United Kingdom?

[PaulHaynek]

Can I claim the United Kingdom?

@AkaylaTheWriter

There is no United Kingdom in the map. Check the OOC please.

Can't wait until everybody joins! i have some ideas :-).
