      Oh, now that would tempt me, as much as I should not get sucked in.

      Btw, Steve, when did you become capitalized?

        I gained the capital letter when we moved from the old place.

            Never played it ... but it definitely seems like something I'd like. Count me in.

              There's an app on Droid, at least, that lets you play Diplomacy. I played for about 2 months, but just didn't enjoy playing it that way. Live is much more fun...you see people talking to each other...and that makes the game more dramatic.

              I will play though.
              Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

                Same here. If you need me for 7 players, pop me a PM, and I'll likely dive in.
                I'm just here for the baseball.

                  Never played but sounds like fun.

                    If you have never played, I suggest playing a couple games to get used to movements and rules. Reading the rules alone won't help you understand the game fully.

                          I wouldn't mind playing a game of Risk either. I'm in.

                            so, I think I could use some help from the junkies here.

                            I've been brought in as a silent partner - my better half has been pulled into a game of Diplomacy that is about to start with some of her co-workers. She (and I) have never played. It will be a long running game - week long negotiations, with the moves happening on each Friday. She'll be the front of the negotiations, with me trying to advise her on long-term strategies. To that end I'm trying to do some research.

                            I've done some googling & have a sense of what we're getting into. I found a good site with some strategic advice at the forums at BoardGameGeek.com that should help, but if there's anyone here that has experience, I'd appreciate any advice you can pass on. No, the country assignments haven't happened yet.
                            It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

                              wow, I don't even remember starting this thread, absolutely willing to help, let me know once countries have been picked.

                              Here's a good collection of strategy articles
