[salan]

game 2 is full,

Gamerandy,
choas,
sach,
snipes,
martin the monkey

need to confirm for it to start

[salan]

something i have noticed.

you get 2 days to confirm, real days.  then 1 day from the time the confirmation was suppose to close (not when its actually confirmed) to do orders, then the day tickers start.

our first game that is linked as 1 turn a day, doesn't start ticking till the 25th because the closing for confirmation was on the 24th.

odd.

[Lolto]

Things are already getting heated up...

teach me

what is this?

[salan]

Diplomacy is a board game between 7 players in ww1 time era.

Units count as a power of 1.  To attack or defend you need support from a second unit to = a  power of 2 or 3 respectfully.  To defend you get support of another unit to equal higher numbers as well.

There are no set alliances, there are no set rules on who you attack or who you defend. 

You win by talking others into supporting your actions, and backstabbing your way to the podium.

its a easy movement segment and there are help files to explain the actual move commands.

basically, you start out in spring 1901.  You give your armies a MOVE command, a HOLD command, or a SUPPORT command. (support move, support hold).

all moves are done simultaneous resulting in some really interesting situations where units that are not supported bounce around and if dislodged then go into the retreat phase.  blah blah.. there are two cycles spring and fall. At the end of fall you capture any territory your occupy, add up your cities and produce units or disband = to how many cities you control.  and continue into the next year. spring 1902....

you play either britian, france, germany, italy, austria/hungry, turkey, or russia. 

usually set on random.
anyone can win, it all goes down to talking people into not attacking you and playing them against each other, being truthful and lieing. and backstabbing when the time is right, or accepting a joint win.
