I know that this site is great. messages in game, notes you can put in, etc. I never used the other one, but yeah.

Sorry for the delay guys! School has been a mess for me this past week.

Here is the website! http://www.playdiplomacy.com/

I haven't used it before but I've heard great things about it! I'm down for trying out this site or using gamesbymail. If you guys are cool with using playdiplomacy just make a account! I'll post the password for the game and the game name when I get a chance!

wyatt_marcum · « **Reply #27 on:** September 26, 2015, 03:23:37 PM »

awesome. I'm already on that one. lol.

I just went to playdiplomacy.com and started to make an account. However one of the requirements of an account there is to make the following promises:

Quote

I promise that I will not play more than one account
I promise I will not communicate in games outside of the game mechanisms
I promise I will not ally based on who I know in the game
I promise I will not carry grudges across games

I cannot honestly promise that I will not communicate with any of you outside the game mechanisms. I am going to continue being a part of this Redemption forum. I am FB friends with some of you. And I see a couple of the guys in person. It is just not reasonable for me to stop any communicating with you in any of these other ways.

~~I therefore request that we use gamesbyemail or some alternative website instead.~~

edit: Nevermind, it let me change what was written in the agreement box, so I did

I now have an account there and am good to go whenever it gets set up.

figured I would let you know, Mr.Underwood, They mean that you wont talk about the game itself outside of the game. It come up on the forum they have on the site. two brothers wanted to play. the admin said dont play in the same games too often, and when they do play the same games, dont always team up together.

Yeah, I figured that they meant just about game stuff. But that's not what it said, and I couldn't agree to what it said. For that matter, I don't even think I could agree with what it meant. You and I are talking about the diplomacy game right now on this forum, which would go against even your interpretation. And I think that it is unreasonable for us to commit that for the next 4-6 months while we are playing a game with each other that we won't ever mention anything about it on FB, or that the guy at my church and I will never mention anything about it in casual conversation. That just doesn't make sense to me.

But they let me change the agreement, so it's all good

wyatt_marcum · « **Reply #31 on:** September 27, 2015, 11:22:37 PM »

just out of curiosity, what did you change it to?

also, they basically meant that if you are planning something out for the game, attacks/ alliances etc, then to do it in the in game chat. it is to make sure that there is no cheating/ bugs that are found and taken advantage of.

I made 2 changes. The first was to remove the entire second statement. The second was to add in the word "solely" before the word "based" in the third statement. Although it was a smaller issue, I didn't feel comfortable saying that I wouldn't make allies at all based on who I know in the game. However it would be dumb to ever make allies purely based on that.

But if I know someone has a history of stabbing their first ally in the back by 1903, then it would be foolish for me to ignore that knowledge when making alliances. Of course the board situation might require me to ally with that person, but it certainly wouldn't be my first choice.

wyatt_marcum · « **Reply #33 on:** September 28, 2015, 01:22:24 AM »

that is reasonable.

Any idea when this will be coming?

wyatt_marcum · « **Reply #35 on:** October 04, 2015, 09:39:24 PM »

when will the game be open?

Prof Underwood · « **Reply #36 on:** January 07, 2016, 02:06:22 AM »

So it seemed like we were on the verge of this game actually starting and then it completely disappeared. Is everyone here still interested in playing a game, or should I just start one on my own with people who want in?

Drrek · « **Reply #39 on:** January 08, 2016, 11:52:45 AM »

Yeah sorry about that haha... school was a mess for me last semester and life in general wasn't the kindest to me. You guys should still start a game without me if there's interest!

Well I feel badly starting without you if you think things will change for you. It feels like kicking a man while he's down. Do you think you'd be up for a game starting in the next couple months, or do you think it'll be longer than that before you're ready?

Also, is there any other way that we as a Redemption community can help you while you're going through this rough patch?

Prof Underwood · « **Reply #42 on:** April 08, 2016, 12:55:25 AM »

OK, well since nothing started here, and I got invited to join another game about to start, I had to go with it.

We have one open spot in that game though, and I got permission from the guy leading it to pick up someone from here. So first come, first served....who's in?

wyatt_marcum · « **Reply #43 on:** April 08, 2016, 04:33:07 AM »

I will

Prof Underwood · « **Reply #44 on:** April 08, 2016, 10:19:27 PM »

Alright, Wyatt was the first one in and has already joined the game. If there are 1-2 other people here who would like to be back-ups, please let me know. I think the game is full at this point, but I've noticed that only 5 people have actually signed up for the game officially. Maybe the last 2 will join soon, or maybe they changed their mind. In case they decided to back out, there might be 1-2 more spots available. Anyone want to get in line?

slugfencer · « **Reply #45 on:** April 09, 2016, 05:42:01 PM »

Sure you can put me in as a backup just let me know if a spot opens. Or if somebody quits when they have 1 center left hahaha I'll still take that country over :-)

Cool Steve. I'll let you know the game info when a spot is free.

And for the rest of you, there would still be 1 possible spot if you're interested in being a back-up.
