SDN Diplomacy 1: Imperial Variant

Welcome one and all to our first Diplomacy game!

Information can be found on the specifics of this map here.
Generic rules can be found in a pdf manual for the actual game, found here. If you never played, or feel unsure about anything, PLEASE READ THIS.

Objective

Control 42(?) centers, home or neutral. I'll do a better count once someone actually gets close to the number.

An email has been sent to every player, check your mailboxes!

This thread will be listed in the Information sticky at the top of the page, along with the game thread once Spring 1861 is posted. Please don't use this thread after the game thread is posted!

Blah...

War is sent...

I was probably the guy who forgot to tell you who I was...

Only missing info from:

Symmetry
Stark
Lt. Dan

EDIT: Thank you Straha...

Still missing those people's info...hopefully a bump and a PM will get their attention.

Just divy up the remaining territories between them!


after another day

The first post has a link to a pdf file containing the rules, which are fairly simple. Would you like to be signed on as an alternative?

Finally PM'd you my details...

EDIT: and does the map link work? I get the tripod symbol and thats all

Copy paste the URL into your address bar. Worked for me.

I had to use IE, it didn't work in Opera :/

How long before we call up alternates?

Slight problem: Symmetry dropped out. I PMed fgalkin to see if he's interested. Should he not be, and as as both of our alts are unable to play immediately, I'll just drop the country that wasn't chosen.

I'll volunteer to be a replacement player! Dip!

Huzzah! I guess you're first in line, if fgalkin plays.

Well I'm going to be a ruthless GM in this game, so I've prepared country assignments for the prefs I got as of now.

England - Tatterdemalion
France - StarshipTitanic
Holland - Sean
Prussia - Stark
Austria - Captain Lennox
Russia - Gandalf
Turkey - Exonerate
China - Verilon
Japan - Darth Yoshi
USA - Straha
CSA - ???
Mexico - Alex
Brazil - Mike

The CSA isn't very popular. It's pretty useless, anyhow. I believe a few people got their third choice, but most got their first or second. Standby for a thread overhaul.

I got 4th.

Oh, and my contact is verilon@firebranddesign.net

Bah, you probably have more experience than all of us.

I've overhauled the top post, please note everything. Above all, check to make sure I placed the correct units for your starting positions.

Merge the CSA with the USA but only allow the USA to keep its original starting troops(not the CSA's)...

Ha ha, no. The CSA's armies will simply hold until overtaken by whomever gets their first.

Hi, this is Brazil. My contact information is up there, but I thought some people might wanna know my SDN name. Enjoy the game and good luck to everyone

Well, considering I've been playing for -thinks- 4 years now, probably.
