I never have time to play it anymore, but Diplomacy is in my top 3 gaming experiences of all time. If you have the people and the time, it's absolutely a blast.

Actually, anyone wanna pick up an online game over the summer? flagamuffin Quatrarius kleinbl00 nowaypablo

That looks awesome. I think I've heard of it but have never played; by way of comparison, this is the best thing that was ever written for Mac and I've spent some serious time trying to find something similar so count me in.

I'll warn you, my schedule is weird.

    I'll warn you, my schedule is weird.

The fun thing about Diplomacy is that (for the most part) the players don't even have to be playing at the same time. It works really well with long turn lengths, so you just have to submit a move every 24 hours or something. I think. Bear in mind I haven't played in probably 4 years now? Jesus, it's been way longer than it seemed like. 6th grade was a long time ago.

Awesome. Looking forward to it. Keep me in the loop.

I'm off the grid from July to mid August :( but if a game is organized before or after that time, I vote Civ V!

I remember somebody mentioned a Diplomacy game a while ago on here, but that never came to anything. I can be up for whatever you pick, probably.
