Gunboat Diplomacy Game starting--VERY FAST From: ckd@bu-pub.bu.edu (Christopher Davis) Date: Mon, 02 Oct 1989 04:50:47 +0000 I'm starting a very fast (warp speed :-) game of Gunboat Diplomacy. Gunboat Diplomacy is where you don't know who the other players are--the only communication is through press. This game will be *very* fast--Internet sites or other sites with *extremely* fast links only, please. The moves schedule will be as follows: [Press will be accepted for all moves, even if there are no retreats for a given season] Monday Spring 'xx moves Tuesday Summer 'xx retreats Wednesday Fall 'xx moves Thursday Autumn 'xx retreats Friday Winter 'xx builds/debuilds Deadlines are MIDNIGHT EDT each night. Send country preference lists to me at the following address: <ckd@bu-pub.bu.edu> House rules: 1) No deadline slippage. You miss, you hold all units (or disband if it's a retreat, or miss a build). Since you don't need to wait for your diplomatic messages to get back, this shouldn't be a problem. 2) There will be White press (press specifically attributed to your country) and Gray press (anonymous press) only. There will be no Black press (press by you but attributed to another country). GM Press will be marked as such. Game start is in one week (9 Oct 89) if I have the players. I may start a second game if there is enough demand. --Chris -- Christopher Davis, BU SMG '90 <ckd@bu-pub.bu.edu> <smghy6c@buacca.bitnet> "Any quote short enough to be put in a .signature is too short to be any good."
