Diplomacy game opening! From: Eric_S_Klien@cup.portal.com Date: Sun, 27 Aug 1989 22:37:57 +0000 First I should mention that I have finally discovered where Chapter Two has been posted for the past few weeks. It has been posted in rec.games.pbm under the subject name of ELECTRONIC PROTOCOL. I missed this due to the way that my mailer works. Future chapters will be posted under the name Diplomacy zine -- Chapter Two (or something that starts with the words Diplomacy zine). I have organized game #20 of Diplomacy, it is a regular Diplomacy game with the following info: #20 TRENCHFOOT (GM is tedward@cs.cornell.edu/Ted Fischer) ENGLAND: elliott@bunker.uucp/Bill Ledoux Sr. GERMANY: mrt@hotle.att.com/Mark Richard Tyler RUSSIA: apple!leadsv!chariw/Walter Chariw AUSTRIA: willis@trwind.ind.trw.com/Willis Marti ITALY: jdent@boulder.colorado.edu/Joe Dent FRANCE: prothan@ufpine.bitnet or jrm@beach.cis.ufl.edu/Jeff Mason TURKEY: fresno@cup.portal.com/Fresno I am organizing games #21 and #22 of Diplomacy, I am currently looking for GMs (for regular and variant games), guest publishers, and players. Remember to give me your home phone number, work phone number, home address, and country preferences when you sign up for my waiting list! People on my waiting list for a regular Diplomacy game: uunet!macvax!ukc!inset!danielh/Daniel Hannigan cwekx@htikub5.bitnet/Constantijn Wekx akuo@scam.berkeley.edu/Augie Kuo cap@htikub5.bitnet/Joris Pinkse apple!sunray.cognos!glee/Godfrey Lee wsinpvb@urc.tue.nl/p.v.bemmelen (Working on e-mail problems) patrik@tessan.datessa.se/Patrik Andreasen (he can play in Sept) I also have openings for a 1914 variant of Diplomacy based on an article in The General. (The General is published by the manufacturer of Diplomacy to give you an idea of how good this variant must be!) This game is much more realistic than regular Diplomacy, you even can get bombers starting in Winter 1917. My waiting list is tedrick@ernie.berkeley.edu/Tom Tedrick and roberson@june.cs.washington.edu, barry@vax1.acs.udel.edu/Barry T. Fausnaugh (need country preferences from him). I need two more people. I am now opening another Gunboat game where you don't know who your opponents are, you only communicate through press. I have three people on on my waiting list. Waiting list for Blind Diplomacy game: Snarr@chemistry.utah.edu/Benjamin A. Snarr Dougi@astro.as.utexas.edu/Doug Ingram Shook@boulder.colorado.edu/David Shook Sjzwange@phoenix.bitnet/Steven Jacob Swanger Uunet!microsoft!paulc/Paul Canniff I need two more players. (And I now have two people who want to GM!) In this variant, the locations of all pieces are secret. You discover the locations of enemy pieces when you attack them or are attacked by them. You also discover the location of enemy pieces by spying. Each country begins with 2 spies, in any home centers. You lose a spy if you lose your capital, and both spies if you lose all your home centers. You gain a spy for each enemy capital you take. Spies that are destroyed are replaced each year in a home center. Each spy may: move, hold, or counter espionage. Spies themselves are completely invisible -- they may move through any space regardless of the presence of other units. Spies are never dislogded, and can only be destroyed by counter espionage. A spy performing conter espionage kills all enemy spies in the area. If two spies both CE the same area, both die. If a spy survives, it provides complete information on the unit occupying the area and its actions in the just completed turn.
