Remember to give me your home phone number, work phone number, home address, and country preferences when you sign up for my waiting list! REGULAR Diplomacy game waiting list: cap@htikub5.bitnet/Joris Pinkse ronin@cory.berkeley.edu/Sam Parazette rb1@ukc.ac.uk/Richard Beard summers@cs.utk.edu/Jim Summers apb2@mruxd.bellcore.com/Andy Brockman (We are waiting for his e-mail situation to stablize) wsinpvb@urc.tue.nl/p.v.bemmelen (Need country preferences) 1914 VARIANT waiting list: ucsd!bjarrett/Brooke Jarrett The 1914 variant of Diplomacy is 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. GUNBOAT waiting list: 4 players. In this variant you don't know who your opponents are, you only communicate through press. BLIND DIPLOMACY waiting list: akuo@scam.berkeley.edu/Augie Kuo 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. CLASSIC DIPLOMACY waiting list: None. In this game we follow the original rulebook and board from the 1958 edition of Diplomacy. In this game you actually place armies on top of fleets to convoy them (at the rate of one unit per turn) and have neat places such as Mesopotamia and Persia. My favorite change is that Switzerland is a neutral supply center!
