Is anyone interested in playing a game of Diplomacy over the forums? I would run the game as the moderator and we'd have a relatively slow game (I'd say two to three days in between adjudication to allow for some back and forth, with the weekend off). You can find the rules here if you are unfamiliar with them. Almost all of the game will take place over PM, of course. The gameplay thread will be where adjudication happens and the discussion thread will be for any "propaganda," questions, and just normal off-topic discussion.
If I get seven people who are interested in playing, I'll go ahead and set a game up. And if there is a lot of interest, I'll run a second game at the same time.

I absolutely love Diplomacy, and would like to play. The only issue I have is that I will be in Italy on business from March 24th through the 30th, and usually don't have internet access when I'm there (the hotels charge like $15-$20/day and my company won't cover it). So maybe reserve me for a possible second game?
Well, hopefully we'll have some more interest. We need at least seven people to play, so unless that happens, we have no game.
For any who are interested but have never played before, here's the premise:
It's 1900 and Europe is at war. Your goal as one of the prime nations (Austria, England, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, and Turkey) is to take over Europe's supply depots. The game is entirely based on strategy and diplomacy, there is no randomness whatsoever. It's kind of like Risk without dice rolls. The rules can seem daunting at first, but they are actually rather simple when it comes down to it.
If anyone has any questions, please let me know and I'll do my best to answer them. Newbies are more than welcome to play (we'll probably take a week before playing in order to give anyone new to the game the chance to learn the rules).
I am in. Diplomacy by PM now makes it quite viable.
I'm glad to see some more interest! Four more people and we have a game.
I expect I won't hear much more than I already have, but I figured I would bump this one last time just in case in went under someone's radar.
Anyone else interested? I would need four more people to start a game.
