We're forming a
Diplomacy game on Espernet and we currently have five players, but we need two more. If you've never heard of Diplomacy, it's basically the best strategy game ever made. The game begins in 1901 with each player assigned one of Europe's seven Great Powers: England, France, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia, Italy, and Turkey. The goal of each player is to seize eighteen supply centers, which is impossible to accomplish alone. To quote the manual:
DIPLOMACY is a game of negotiations, alliances, promises kept, and promises broken. In order to survive, a player needs help from others. In order to win the game, a player must eventually stand alone. Knowing whom to trust, when to trust them, what to promise, and when to promise it is the heart of the game. Remember, you are a diplomat first, a commander second.

the rules and

FAQ.
