[net.games.board] DIPLOMACY, anyone?

squires@csd2.UUCP (Charles S Squires Jr) (10/08/85)

Hi!  I've never posted to this board before, so I hope I'm not jumping
on some idea that's already been put out of it's misery...
    Do any of you out there play DIPLOMACY ?  I think it would probably
be very interesting to get a game going by electronic mail.  If anyone
is interested, please send me mail to any of the following addresses:

             ARPANET:     squires@nyu-csd2.ARPA
             CSNET:       squires@nyu-csd2@csnet-relay
             UUCP:        ...{allegra|philabs|decvax|inhp4}!cmcl2!csd2!squires

As you may know if you're an avid DIPLOMACY finatic, mail games are quite
common, but are slow.  Electronic mail might prove an exciting medium for a
game, especially on those machines with any sort of real-time mail or
teleconferencing capability. 
   So let me know if you're interested.  Also let me know if this idea has
already been tried on the net.  Thanks

There is a 'net.games.pbm' notesfile for E-Mail PBM games.  Most of the games
presently being played are Diplomacy.  Just drop a note in there and somebody
will pick you up; they've been complaining recently about vanishing players.
