I am under the impression that the Diplomacy game copyright owners permit the game to be played on the Web explicitly only if the rules are not available on...
You can D/L a copy of the rules http://www.avalonhill.com/default.asp?x=archive/rules Hasbro allows Diplomacy to be played online because they never had a clue...
If you go to diplom.org, you'll find the rules there in English so they are now available on line, and with A-H's blessing. Don't know about German though....

I don't even think mine came with a user manual. Note to all players of strategy games (not just Dip), do NOT buy them on Norfolk Island. They're cheap for a...
I bought the game for $5. I did have some fun with it, as I had been away from Diplomacy for about fifteen years. I also discovered online Diplomacy because...
Well, the absence of serious AI was not the only thing that was a problem. Using a mouse was frequently an exercise in frustration, especially when attempting...
... A better Dip game already exists: http://www.starblood.org/daide/ Download the server, mapper, and DumbBot and you'll have a better game than the Hasbro...
We're trying! Check out DAIDE, http://www.starblood.org/daide/ There are 3 bots so far that play reasonably good no-press games. A handful more of us are at...
There'll never be a good videogame version -- as soon as you take real people out of the mix, then the whole negotiation process goes out the window, which is...

Game 'clausewitz' is a no-press Payola game on the Youngstown map. We've got 6 players signed up as is, so there are still 4 places remaining before the game...
Hi, Would it be possible to show how many (or even which) powers have clicked on "wait for deadline"? And also how many powers have not yet submited orders....
I like the idea, but both options should be options only - rather than hard-and-fast rules. I find that part of the entertainment of the game comes from not...
Game 'clausewitz' is a no-press Payola game on the Youngstown map. We're still in need of 4 players for this one and it should be a really interesting game to...
I thought the dj-games list was to offload games openning annoucements from this list. But people are just posting those opennings to both lists. Did I...
... You did not. I think maybe people have continued posting here until the awareness (and readership) in the "games" list grows. Maybe it has now grown to...
What dj-games list? Garry ... From: Manus Hand [mailto:manus@...] Sent: Tuesday, March 09, 2004 05:07 To: dpjudge@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [dpjudge]...
The name is dpj-games@yahoogroups.com It has 51 members, vs 308 on dpjudge@yahoogroups.com, but many at this point may not see the point to sign onto a list...
Why do you think the Crystal Ball population is so much smaller than Payola? For that matter, does it seem to anyone else that fewer and fewer xtalball games...
... One reason and one reason only: I spent a lot of time (many many years) pushing Payola. The DPjudge was, for years and years, Payola-only, and I was...

Just as an FYI to anyone who *is* keen on either payola or crystal ball games, I tend to have one of each (at least) either forming or running at any given...
... Yes, it would. And in fact.... I have now implemented a new optional RULE named LIST_WAITERS. When this rule is used, the power-identity of all players...
I have been thinking about a slight adjustment to the standard rules and map that I think would be interesting. I looked through all the variants and I don't...
