I've heard this mentioned a few times in chat, but, I'm actually curious. Is there interest in a play by e-mail, or forum messages, DL Diplomacy game?
Way the game works is simple. You play one of six great powers in Europe, and you're trying to take over half of the supply centers in Europe (basically, important provinces) by using your army. The catch, there is no luck. You win only by bringing in superior force, or hitting where there is no opposition. And, given that all armies/navies hit the same, and no one has any advantage, you can only win by convincing other people that they want to help you, typically by making deals. The art of the game is in knowing which deals to keep, and which deals to break, and when to plant the dagger. This is helped out by there being a period of negotiation before each move, and then all of the orders are handed in so that the moves can be implemented simultaneously.
Looking for seven players, and while I'm sure we all trust each other out of game, perhaps an eighth person to take the order e-mails and either implement, or post the moves would be helpful. In addition, rules can be read
