Who would be interested in an e-mail Diplomacy game?

[wmd1999]

I am still interested in playing

[redemptioncousin]

Confirming my interest.

[Bobbert]

I am still interested, but I will be out of the country from July 8-24. I am as of yet unsure whether or not I will have internet access during that time.

[sk]

Confirming my interest.

[Redoubter]

Still playing of course, just waiting to see if anyone wants to grab those last spots from among the off-board people mentioned before

[Red Dragon Thorn]

Yeah, for sure in

I'm also willing to try my hand with the experienced players

[Isildur]

I am still interested but if need be I have no problems with dropping out.

[Prof Underwood]

Confirmed Players:

Experienced Game:
1. Redoubter
2. Prof U
3. Isildur
4. Thomas Hunter                 *out of internet for July?
5. wmd1999
6. redemptioncousin
7.

Beginner Game:
1. iamalittleking
2. Drrek
3. RDT
4. Kyp Henderson
5. Wyatt Marcum
6. sk
7.

Based on what we're seeing here so far, it seems like we should either:

A - wait until July 24th to make sure that Thomas Hunter will have internet access at the beginning of the game when it is so critical, and pick up iamalittleking
B - go ahead and start without Thomas Hunter and pick up iamalittleking and Drrek

[redemptioncousin]

I'm sure RDT would pick it up fast.  :p  THrow him in there with us.

[Iamalittleking]

Sorry for taking so long. I am still in.

I've never played diplomacy before, but I like strategy games and it sounds fun. Are there any spots left in the beginner game?

[slugfencer]

I can play--just let me know if that's ok.

Yes there are.  In fact we still have 1 more available spot in the beginner game after adding you to the list

WOOT, glad you were able to make it in slug

[Isildur]

I am cool with waiting.

[The Guardian]

What Prof U. hasn't been telling you all this time is that he's been secretly attacking everyone else before the game even starts and then claiming he just wants to wait a little bit longer to start...



That's how good he is at diplomacy...

[wmd1999]

I have played many games with Thomas Hunter and believe he will contribute greatly to the game.

Shhhhhh.  I've almost got the solo victory in hand at this point.  Just wait until everyone picks countries and they all realize that they only have 1 supply center left to start the game.  Don't spoil my strategy

On a serious note, it would also be my preference to wait a couple more weeks so that Thomas Hunter can stay in the game.  Who knows....maybe in those 2 weeks we'll have one more new player sign up and both the experienced and beginner games will be able to start at the same time.

[Bobbert]

We don't even need to wait the whole time. I leave on Monday (a week from today), and by Wednesday I'll know whether the training camp has reliable access (and I'll be seven hours ahead of Central Time). The actual camp is supposed to have access, but only in certain areas, and at times when I could log on, everyone will be trying to get on. I will likely be able to play, but there may be a  bit of wait (if for no other reason than the aforementioned time zone differences).

I would agree with that, it'd be nice for both games to have 7, and we can wait a week or so to see about this:

Since your moves would be due weekly (or whatever we set it for), the strain should be lessened.  Let us know when you have more info on availability

It's too late already!! Prof has assigned me Luxembourg!!! 

[slugfencer]

Actually, I would be willing to volunteer to fill in Thomas' position, thus bearing the tremendously difficult proposition of managing 2 countries at once!?!?!!???

Wow that is so generous of you to offer.  However, I wouldn't want to put such a burden on anyone else.  In fact, once the game starts you are welcome to proxy any of your units which are too burdensome to me, and I'll be glad to turn in orders for them

Actually, I'm not sure if the game site we're using actually is set up for proxies, so that might be impossible

What a wonderful idea! I will gladly give you my army in Switzerland to do as you see fit.

I'll return the favor by giving you my Fleet on the West Coast of Spain.
