Hi there,
I didn't get any interest from this site, but did from a couple of others, and I am now GMing a game of Kepler. The logistical issues of running a play-by-email game seem to have been sorted out, and I would like to start a second game in parallel with the first.
Please check out the Google Group here if you are interested:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/kepler-board-game
The second game would actually use a different venue for the game, which allows private messaging between players and would not clog up your email inbox.[Reply] |

| Joint the 1936 Finals! - charlesf (Apr 03, 2016, 3:40 pm) |
The 1936 tournament's first-round has been completed. Six players have qualified for the finals board. A seventh wildcard player is needed. I invite you to apply for the wildcard opening. A die roll will decide who gets to play in this high-calibre game. You'd be facing six quality opponents.
For information on the variant go to:
http://www.dipwiki.com/index.php?title=1936_v3.4
Write me (cfeaux at gmail.com) if interested.

| New World Order Variant Call for Players - georgekatkins (Mar 26, 2016, 7:16 pm) |
PREAMBLE: This is an open call for players to join a variant that plans to be run on another site; a variant that is not supported here. If this post is not acceptable, please remove it and accept my apology.
ANNOUNCEMENT: Ever thought about having a true multi-player victory, as opposed to settling for yet another DIAS? Give New World Order (NWO) a try. Some limited implementations of NWO exist on various sites. However, to experience the full PBEM format, a live GM is required.
Sendric, a veteran GM, is starting a game on Redscape, though you do not have to be a member on that site to play. If you are interested, send an email to sendric [at] gmail [dot] com. To see the complete rules, an overview, and FAQ, go to http://www.sendric.com/diplomacy/?page_id=32.
VARIANT SUMMARY: NWO is a global variant, supporting 40+ players. The game is NOT balanced. While NWO heavily favors some countries it does try and balance this out with its unique coalition victory conditions. The game represents a modern world view. Some powers are huge, while others have one single center to start.
Victory is attained by a coalition of three players that collectively has the requisite number of centers. Coalitions are not necessarily alliances. The number of centers needed to win is based on the class type of each coalition member, encouraging larger powers to join up with smaller powers. Several coalitions will seek victory, but only one can win. The qualifying coalition that gets the most votes from all players wins. Did I forget to mention nukes and planes?
Send Sendric an email and join up!

Due to time constraints, I better hold off on moderating until I have a handle on things while playing a game.

Just looking over stats, this is your first solo! So extra congrats are in order.
And Michael thanks for running the games... much appreciated!
-mike
Mikael and Isaac! Wow.
Dan, not a surprise. Well played. Congrats.
We had the draw. I don't get why you guys didn't play for it. LOV S FIR-Ves and it was done. Really LOV S SOT, when North was 1 dot from the win, and I pulled off Had? Or SCH-SOW and LOV-SOA would have worked too. Pretty much anything but Holding for Dan to take the last dot.
A quick EOG...
Mikael, Mikael, Mikael. I don't understand your play this game! In a 4-player game the person diagonally across from you is your natural ally. I gave you a key cut in the first year so you could invade the circular island (note MB's comments on how important that is)... and you not only didn't take the help which would have strengthened you -- instead you chose to attack me -- then see North take your upper dot -- then attack me again, and not relent until you were finally able to take Aph, even tho North took your other dot too!!! I have absolutely no clue what was driving this as all I did was help you in the first turn, then attack North who was attacking you in hopes of saving you. Had you gone for Nes in that first year, you would have gotten a build, South would have gotten one less, and North wouldn't have gotten to Ama -- his advance would have stopped, and both other players would have been way behind and you'd have had the Circle Island all to yourself as a solid power base. Then you just laid down and let him roll over you. I could not survive being attacked by both other powers alone, So I had to retract and try to consolidate in the southwest corner and hope to hold on, maybe push for a draw, which we really should have had.
Hope to hear your EOG Mikael as to why you kept attacking your natural ally despite losing dot after dot to North.
Anyways well played Dan -- a well deserved solo to notch in your bed post. Good luck in round 2

Mike - W Mikael - E Isaac - S Dan - N Bccd the other games as all are now done. Last turn saw some tardiness then I had to go to the Hooters Hotel Casino earlier than I thought yesterday. 3 Ss & 1 N winner. Easts universally had a tough time with Ws little better. 543 saw the pressure W must put on S but N managed to be the 1 who took advantage. A couple Ss were a little passive but lack of W pressure & E not controlling right-most isle still were decisive. DC Mgmt (some on here as players) can put Ojax; Chris; & Dan up as latest soloists. The latter 3 & Bryan of 545 are invited into a regular (non-gb) finale as Ojax can't. Congrats & thanks to all! Games all marked as completed tho can never mark down folks in a solo as 'survivors' w/o hearing the game's designer (met him at conventions/meetings back east) yell at me: "No such thing!" http://www.diplomaticcorp.com/game_page.php?game_id=dc543 Hopefully will find sufficient additional sanity to handle the 25 Ancient Med entails soon. Colonial single game or a chaos still possible.
