* | | |   | | Which should be a lot easier over email than in person when you can watch who talks to who (although that can also be used for deception, I suppose, so perhaps not).
Patrik Nordebo 12:19 on 23 Oct 2003
         
 * | |   | | Cheers Simon,
Taylor James 12:22 on 23 Oct 2003

duncan 14:05 on 23 Oct 2003
         
   | * | | | wait, that would actually make it
duncan 14:09 on 23 Oct 2003
       
   |  * | | No.
Simon Wistow 14:10 on 23 Oct 2003
     
   |   * | Add, while you're at it, am I right in thinking that the Russian unit in Rumania should be green, not black?
Taylor James 14:10 on 23 Oct 2003
     
   *   | | Done.
Simon Wistow 14:13 on 23 Oct 2003

Jonah 10:27 on 23 Oct 2003

Patrik Nordebo 10:36 on 23 Oct 2003
 
 * Ah, I see!
Jonah 10:53 on 23 Oct 2003

[void-dip] game 001 - allocating countries

* - T T T - T T - L Right, I wrote a quick script to randomly allocate countries to people and this was the result.
Simon Wistow 13:08 on 21 Oct 2003
             
* L | | |  | |  | Right, so if you'll forgive my Newbie's World Of The Bleedin' Obvious questions here, I'd imagine the next couple of turns are going to be everyone hoovering up all those lovely currently-neutral supply centres near their starting positions, yes?
Jonah 14:01 on 21 Oct 2003
               
* | | | |  | |  | Pretty much, yes.
Simon Wistow 14:04 on 21 Oct 2003
               
* | | | |  | |  | And whilst it is a good primer I meant to put this
Simon Wistow 14:07 on 21 Oct 2003

Robbie Scourou 14:48 on 21 Oct 2003
           
  | * |  | |  | Sorry guys, I'm not going to have the time to play this time, I'm far too busy over the next couple of weeks.
David Cantrell 15:01 on 21 Oct 2003
         
  |  * L | |  | Gertcha, as Chas 'n' Dave would say.
Jonah 15:10 on 21 Oct 2003
           
  |  * | | |  | well, thats a fine tactic - lets see if patrik will agree to not fight me for scandinavia if i help him out somewhere.
duncan 15:27 on 21 Oct 2003
           
  |  | * | |  | With Turkey it's prudent to forge an alliance with the Russkies since this is mutually beneficial to both of you.

    |  * |  | Yes, I'll play nice.
Taylor James 15:50 on 21 Oct 2003
     
    |   * L | Can I take it from this that you're now playing France?
Taylor James 16:03 on 21 Oct 2003
       
    |   | | * Quick clarification: does this mean that France is now neutral (nice bonus for the western powers, that) or are you taking it on Simon?
Jonah 16:05 on 21 Oct 2003
     
    |   * |  Sorry, yeah.
Simon Wistow 16:06 on 21 Oct 2003
   
    *    |  Well, I have little interest in Sweden, but I do find myself pining for the fjords.
Patrik Nordebo 16:35 on 21 Oct 2003
   
    *    |  Because it's in my interests to kepp you out of mainland Europe and heading towards St Petersburg :)
Simon Wistow 16:57 on 21 Oct 2003
   
    *    |  Now that may be good for you, but I don't see much benefit in going for St Petersburg.
Patrik Nordebo 17:19 on 21 Oct 2003
 
        *  ok, i forgot to actually publish my intended moves yesterday.
duncan 12:38 on 22 Oct 2003

[void-dip] fry ... fry ... fry

* L Right, seeing as I find myself with very little free time and that we're a person over the required number, I'll fall on my sword and you guys can get started.
Jonah 10:36 on 21 Oct 2003
   
* | Whoops.
Simon Wistow 11:02 on 21 Oct 2003
 
 * Well, I'd still like to play if possible, just offering to stand down if we were waiting because we had too many players.
Jonah 12:07 on 21 Oct 2003

[void-dip] starting the game

* - T L I was thinking of using this
Simon Wistow 12:07 on 16 Oct 2003
     
* L | | Can I propose we start on Monday?
Taylor James 12:51 on 16 Oct 2003
       
| | * | a round a day is fine by me, what about weekends?
duncan 13:12 on 16 Oct 2003
     
* |  | Taylor James <mailto:James.
Robbie Scourou 13:51 on 16 Oct 2003
     
* |  | No problems.
Simon Wistow 14:10 on 16 Oct 2003
   
 *  | I agree with all of the above.
Patrik Nordebo 14:16 on 16 Oct 2003
 
   * Sounds reasonable.
David Cantrell 14:20 on 16 Oct 2003

[void-dip] Gameshow style introduction...

* I trust people have been studying the Diplomacy rules :-) I've only skimmed them so far, but from what I've read, it sounds like the sort of game I'd really enjoy.
