Mikael and I are also both playing in the DC playtest of David Cohen's
Known World 901.
Also, if any of you have a hankering for more playtesting, I am
currently recruiting playtesters on DC for my new variant, Arctic
Diplomacy. I'll admit it does not have the draw of DPs, but it does
have the cool new feature of ice territories that melt and freeze over
the course of time. There are three spots left if anyone is interested.

Matt, Mikael and I are playing in a huge WWIV game at DC that may be
in its late stages.

[quote:7260771ece]Hallöle allerseits,
you will find the new Realpolitik module for 1648 attached. But the
extracted 1648 folder into RP's "Variant Files" folder and you're
[/quote:7260771ece]ready to
[quote:7260771ece]go. You may load the Spring 1649 .dpy file I sent you with the
[/quote:7260771ece]adjucation
[quote:7260771ece]and then try out various moves. I've already tested what amounts
[/quote:7260771ece]to my best
[quote:7260771ece]hunch of what the fall moves might look like and you might find
[/quote:7260771ece]doing a
[quote:7260771ece]similar exercise quite instructive.
On a more general note, recognise that with the DP mechanism the
[/quote:7260771ece]need to
[quote:7260771ece]communicate with the whole board is far more pronounced than in
[/quote:7260771ece]Standard
[quote:7260771ece]Diplomacy! I don't think I'm overstepping the boundaries set by
[/quote:7260771ece]being the GM
[quote:7260771ece]by encouraging you to communicate a good deal with those who might
[/quote:7260771ece]be on the
[quote:7260771ece]other side of the board. Next to the clear DP-related advantages
[/quote:7260771ece]that might
[quote:7260771ece]arise from this, influencing the wider evolution of the board
[/quote:7260771ece]according to
[quote:7260771ece]your interests ought not be neglected. Don't let talks with those
[/quote:7260771ece]further
[quote:7260771ece]afield die off. You know, that timeless Dippie mantra: Write
[/quote:7260771ece]early, write
[quote:7260771ece]everyone and write often!
Furthermore, while I didn't ask so previously, I suggest as a
[/quote:7260771ece]matter of
[quote:7260771ece]fairness that those players who are currently playing with/against
[/quote:7260771ece]each
[quote:7260771ece]other elsewhere ought to communicate that to other players. I
[/quote:7260771ece]trust we all
[quote:7260771ece]are strictly against any form of metagaming and know to keep what
[/quote:7260771ece]happens in
[quote:7260771ece]one game not affecting what happens in the next.
Lastly, I believe I'll be off to Scotland for a couple of weeks in
[/quote:7260771ece]August.
[quote:7260771ece]Don't worry, I'll seek a temporary replacement GM should those
[/quote:7260771ece]holiday plans
[quote:7260771ece]work out. Please let me know whether you might yourself not be
[/quote:7260771ece]able to dip.
[quote:7260771ece]For the sake of all players (especially since nine players are
[/quote:7260771ece]involved), I
[quote:7260771ece]would like you to organise a temporary replacement in such a case.
Grüsse aus Berlin,
Charles
