For anyone who hasn't played Diplomacy, it's a very interesting game but can take a very long time to complete. There's a round of negotiation where you can meet with other players and coordinate moves, then all moves are executed at the same time. Much of the length of the game is dependent on the personalities involved and any rules you apply to limit round length. I started a game at 7 PM and left at 4:30 AM. None of the players had been eliminated, but we all had a great time backstabbing.

I play an open strategy, and hold conversations at the table with anyone. Of course I lie on occasion, and expect others to do the same. Overall I feel like it adds a nice dynamic and helps move the game along. I'm not sure it would be as fun if everyone took the same approach.

Its actually a game that lends itself well to playing very slowly asynchronously (i.e. on the internet or mail). I've only ever played games where you have a full year every day. Those games take weeks to complete.
