I think that Diplomacy is a rarity as being a Board Game which actually plays better on the internet and by e-mail just because it gives you that bit more time to think and plan and communicate.
If you're a fan, then I'm actually running a series of games at the moment on the DPPD judge (http://www.floc.net/dpjudge/ http://www.floc.net/dpjudge/) - if you look at http://www.diplom.org/openings/openings.html#USDP http://www.diplom.org/openings/openings.html#USDP for openings on the judge they're the vole_xxx games.
- eru 14y agoThanks for the invitation! I agree, and I was pretty involved with the pbem hobby for a few years now. At the moment, I just moved to Singapore and am still settling in. I've mostly played the 1900 variant recently, and even introduced the Cambridge University Diplomacy Society to that variant and made it their mainstay. 1900 is a definite improvement over standard. I prefer pbem over ftf, but ftf is a good pastime in its own right.
- qznc 14y agoI have recently player Diplomacy as a board game with some friends. WebDiplomacy.net is much more enjoyable, even if everybody would be in the same room. Never tried pbem, but i believe you would need something like jDip to visualize the map anyways.
