I am now organizing a few Electronic Protocol Diplomacy games on the Diplomacy Adjudicator in Washington (judge@milton.u.washington.edu). These games are being run with No Civil Disorder rules and with a (computer assisted) human GM. I signal out one of the games in particular: "FONTENOY" is being played with the CHAOS variant rules. Every supply center is played by a different player (and builds are not restricted to "home" centers). Since this game only gives you a single unit, it does not represent a big time commitment. On the other hand, I need 34 players, so please sign up for the game FONTENOY. (The other available games are regular diplomacy, youngstown diplomacy, pure diplomacy, and my 9 player variant. ) For more information, write to "judge" or contact me. People interested in RUNNING games with the aid of the judge are also wanted. Yours, Daniel Loeb "Combinatorics: The Thought that Counts" EMAIL loeb@geocub.greco-prog.fr (or else try loeb@frbdx11.bitnet) HOME 150, cours Victor-Hugo; Appt B21, 33000 Bordeaux France WORK Departement des Maths et d'Info, Universite de Bordeaux I, 351 cours de la Liberation, 33405 Talence Cedex France PHONE(H)+(33) 56 31 48 26, (W)+(33) 56 84 60 88, (FAX) +(33) 56 80 08 37 From: Ken Lowe <ken@dewey.cac.washington.edu> To: dip-players@dewey.cac.washington.edu Date: Sat, 27 Oct 90 02:07:42 -0700 Greetings. This is a general mailing to all the players and observers for the Diplomacy Adjudicator judge@milton.u.washington.edu. Danny Loeb is trying to convince Eric Klien that an automated adjudicator such as this one is feasible to run some of his various games. I've been asked to pass Danny's survey to those of you interested in providing feedback, both positive and negative. The survey can be gotten by sending the judge a "get survey" request. Please fill out the survey if you wish and send it back to Danny and Eric whose addresses appear at the top of the file. Danny will be running some games to be included in Eric's Electronic Protocol 'zine. These games are: Berezina: Standard variant Cannes: Pure variant Dien: Youngstown variant Eylau: Loeb9 variant Fontenoy: Chaos variant The latter of these is an experiment in which each of the 34 players controls one center on the standard map. The game starts in Winter of 1900 with you getting to choose what type of unit to build in your center. Subsequent builds can be done at any owned center. It promises to be a gas, but it needs a whole bunch of people to sign on. For info on the other variants use "get info.xxxx", for info on the house rules for Electronic Protocol games use "get EP.house.rules", for information on where Danny is getting his game names use "get battles". To sign on to the chaos game use: SIGNON ?FONTENOY password CHAOS The NoNMR feature of the judge has proven to be quite useful. In several cases it has caught games that would otherwise have been ruined by having powers go CD. I have decided to make this the default for all games after "zulu". Thus if no orders are received or even if only partial orders are received the judge will refuse to process the orders while the flag is set. Reminders will be sent out every 48 hours indicating that the judge is waiting for someone to take over the abandoned power(s). If this feature is not desired for a particular game the "set NMR" command can be used to allow partial or nonexistant orders to be processed. Note that orders submitted ahead of schedule with the "phase" command are considered complete regardless of whether they contain errors or fail to order particular units. The games "walouf", "whip" and "snake" are the only remaining games that will allow NMR. To facilitate games that are actually moderated by a human (as opposed to myself) a new flag has been added to prevent certain parameters from being changed except by the designated "master" for the game. This includes the deadline adjustments, access levels, etc. For more information on being a moderator use the "get master" command. The games with me listed as the master are all unmoderated so the players can continue to adjust the parameters (with the consensus of the other players). -Ken From: prb%chinet.chi.il.us@gatech To: daybell@aludra.usc.edu, pl436000@brownvm.BITNET, ken@milton.u.washington.edu, j_oregon%csvax1@iruccvax.ucc.ie, pinkse@vax.lse.ac.uk, sinhaa@mcmaster.BITNET, cwekx@KUB.NL Date: Fri, 26 Oct 90 19:23:58 CDT We are complete! Let the backstabbing begin.... Only two people voted for blind, threee voted for regular, two expressed no preference (and may have been assuming the default, namely regular) so this is a REGULAR GAME. Everyone who expressd an opinion on the point wanted black press, so anything goes! The country assignments: ITALY: Constantin ENGLAND: Ken FRANCE: Jamie AUSTRIA: John TURKEY: Donald RUSSIA: Joris GERMANY: Anand Everyone got his 1st or 2nd choice, except for one person who got stuck with his 4th choice - unfortunately that was the highest anyone ranked that country. WINTER '00 (press only): due Sunday Oct. 28 4:00 CST. SPRING '01 orders: due Wednesday Oct. 30 10:00 CST. That's a fairly quick Spring '01 because you all know each other and many of the opening moves are fairly standard. Press will be circulated promptly Sunday afternoon, so if it's late, it'll have to wait. As I said (I think I said this), I plan to accept press only for the winter and summer of each year. If anybody has an objection, let me know, but it will help my paperwork. All deadline times are CST (Central Time in the U.S.), which is one hour earlier than Eastern Time - I have no idea how it relates to the local time where Joris and Constantin are! -- "Never look back; something might be gaining on you."

Botts email should be addressed to: prb@chinet.chi.il.us From: prb%chinet.chi.il.us@gatech To: daybell@aludra.usc.edu, pl436000@brownvm.BITNET, ken@milton.u.washington .edu, j_oregan%csvax1@iruccvax.ucc.ie, pinkse@vax.lse.ac.uk, sinhaa@mcma ster.BITNET, cwekx@KUB.NL Date: Sun, 28 Oct 90 23:18:19 CST OKAY, the Winter '00 press: Berlin - der Kaiser has announced that diplomatic talks have started with rulers of the major European powers. He has furthermore stated that those who have bothered him in one of his previous lives will have to convince him of their good intentions; he did not mention any names. (Ankara) Our glorious Sultan has warned all those malicious creatures intending to act aggressively towards our holy nation to be prepared for the revenge of the glorious Turkish forces supported by our all mighty ruler, Allah. He also warned the rulers of Greece and particularly Bulgaria against suppressing the rightful descendants of Mohammed. (Naples) Our fleet based in Naples is due to set off towards the coast of France or French protectorates in Northern Africa early next year. It is said that close diplomatic links with England have led to this step announced by our Government yesterday evening. Vienna Stay out of Tyrolia, Galicia and Bulgaria, you stupid twits! St. Petersburg: The Czar has denied rumors that he supports the fairly infamous organization, the Irish Republican Austrians, in their attempts to regain control of the homeland of their predecessors in the Northern part of Scotland. Queen Kenna I is said to have accepted the Czar's explanation and has stressed the importance of lasting peaceful coexistence. Berlin - No hockey today; no hockey tomorrow either. Cork (a hole in the bottem of Ireland): The Irish Republican Austrians have held their first mass protest meeting in Vienna today. They carried banners stating 'the Irish sea for the Irish' and similar statements. We are very apalled by the fact that the Austrian ruler has found it necessary to apologize to them English bastards. We will get him once we have dealt with England! Gentlemen, for I know that you are all gentlemen, Sincerest greetings from your Dauphin, M. Jamie. I wish to announce in advance that I shall be very angry if anyone submits forged press under my name. I shall be very insulted if anyone believes such a forgery (except Sultan Donald, who does not know me). And I shall be very amused if anyone believes that this here press really comes from me.... Sincerely, Your Dauphin Jamie If you are interested in joining the fun here on Electronic Protocol, send mail to Eric_S_Klien@cup.portal.com including your name, address, phone, e-mail address, and country preference list. He will add you to the waiting list and get you into a game as soon as possible. ***--*--*------------------Constantijn Wekx----------------------------------+ ** * *KUB-University Phone: (+31) 13 441541 Bitnet: cwekx@htikub5 | * * * Tilburg-Nederland UUCP: ...!mcvax!kubix!mad-2 Surfnet: kubvx1::cwekx | +-*--*-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ Up
