Diplomacy...

[Smid]

I realise this is old, but I was trawling through the old forum topics because I was going to bring this up if there wasn't one out there.

I'm happy to GM a postal game through here if there's interest. If anyone's interested, I'll start a new thread. Perhaps play one season per week, people can PM their orders to me, and I'll post official results in the thread. Anyone can PM diplomacy with other players, or put out media releases in the thread. Anyone interested?

Xahar/Happy Warrior - I'll adjudicate and not play, so as to not accidentally open up a PM of someone's orders too early.

That makes the list Xahar, Ben, Gustaf, Lewis, Erc, Mikado, Happy Warrior to make up the seven.

I have Realpolitik on my laptop at home, but I'll check out that link when I get home, Erc.

Gustaf - I entirely agree about random allocation of countries.

I shall randomly draw names against the seven nations and post in a new thread shortly and PM you each to confirm. I will also post this set of administrative guidelines in the new thread.

I will do the adjudication on Sundays (my time) so that wherever you are in the world, so long as you send your orders to me by midnight on a Friday evening, I will receive them in time.  Each season can be one week in length, so I'll adjudicate every weekend.

The thread will be used to post orders/maps each week, and also any comments anyone wants to make publicly. Orders can be PM'd to me. In the event that I receive more than one set of orders in the week from the one player, I will use the last set sent. If no orders are received, all units belonging to that nation will stand to (no move/no support/no convoy). If there are two sets of orders and latest set only provides orders for some units (but not all), the units not given orders in the latest set will stand to, even if the earlier set provided orders for them, as it will be assumed that you now want that unit to not carry out the earlier provided orders.

I think that's all pretty self-explanatory and nothing out of the ordinary, but I'm just laying that out to ensure it's clear.
