Hello, I'm Sean2010.
I joined not too long ago, and I'm presently playing for first game at the website.
I've been playing Diplomacy for about 13 years or so.
It all began after personal issues, and my uncle and I played a series of "Stratego" games. At first, my uncle began with the esteem boosting method of gameplay unaware that during my personal issues; a group of friends and I had been playing religiously. After this first couple of games, as my uncle puts it when he tells the story; I began getting cocky and he futily attempted knocking me down a peg. We had played something like 6 games that night, and I had bested him 4 out of 6.
On Sunday, I typically worked for my uncle doing odd jobs and such, and he began telling me about "Diplomacy" and how my oldest uncle, on my father's side, and him played 1 on 1 diplomacy games.
After a couple of games, I got my own board and had gotten into postal gameplay before I ended up playing an e-mail modern game, and ended playing at another internet site where I was told about this site.
When I told my uncle about it, his initial response had been, "I've created a monster".
