Diplomacy [1] (Life on hiatus until 27/3/16, Dorian in charge until then)

Welcome to Diplomacy. The best way I can explain it is a cross between Risk and Sid Meyer's Civilization games. Diplomacy is a postal game where you attempt to conquer to the world using both strength and back-channels.

There are seven nations in Diplomacy. Each power starts off in a static spot and is given a certain amount of units. The object is to capture over half the map (18 "supply centers") before one of your opponents can do so. To do so, certain areas (known as supply centers) must be held which allow your army to grow. However, sheer force will not be enough and the art of Diplomacy is always the key to victory.

Here is a PDF that is a complete set of rules. It's long and I don't expect anyone to read through it entirely so if you have any questions after skimming it, feel free to ask me over Skype. Most of the PDF is about semantics such as "Dislodgement in standoffs" (something important to me as host but not to players) which can be skipped over without a problem. In addition, this is a link to a number of strategy guides for the game. It is quite detailed but easy to read and will let you get a handle on any power you may play.

And lastly, the map. ​It is currently Spring 1905 Retreats.

Each turn will be 24 hours long (Spring and Fall) while Winter build turns will be 12 hours long. Failure to submit orders by deadline will result in an automatic HOLD by all of your units.

This game requires seven people. As host, I will not be playing but moderating. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. The rules PDF is long but the game is a lot simpler than it looks. In addition, the powers will be RNG'd so no requests will be accepted.

Players:
Izhuark​ - Austria (Red)
Magnificence Incarnate - Turkey (Yellow)
Rainbow - Italy (Green)
Makaze - France (Light Blue)
Lord Gaius - Russia (Purple)
Nimbostratus - Germany (Grey)
BBM - England (Dark Blue)

Remember to read the rules if you don't know how to play, especially the parts on Support, Convoy and Cutting Support. Easy to understand but the applications will win or lose you the game.

Ooooh, Diplomacy! Are we gonna use http://www.playdiplomacy.com/ ?

Either way, I'm definitely joining this. I've played Diplomacy several times online so I imagine the rules here would be the same as the standard one.

No, I'm going to post all the maps and orders here. Consider this a postal game.

Sign-ups are full. The game will start in about 8 hours (gotta finish work, do another shift at a new place and then get home).

Edit: Powers have been picked and put beside names on the sign-up list. I advise you to read up on strategies for your power.

It is now Spring 1901. Orders are due by 12:30 AM GMT +2 on 26/2/16 (48 hours from now). ​Orders must be emailed to PharoaheMonch1@gmail.com. ​If you send your orders in any other way, I will not process them and all of your units will hold. Do not fuck with me on this.

Circles are Armies and Triangles are Fleets. The small dots are supply centers. If you have any questions, ask me​ and I will answer. It may take me some time due to work but I will do my best to get back to you in a timely fashion.

Each person's power is listed in the first post.

On another note, "lol". If you know why, you'll laugh.
