Hi Arny,
You've joined a LIVE game. There is discussion on that game in particular in the message boards... that's a one-day event, where a game is played in real time (about 15-20 min per turn) via instant-messenger.

If you are instead looking for a regular Diplomacy game, I'd suggest you join the re001. They fill about every 7 to 10 days. That is the more traditional style game that makes up 99% of the games here.

i've joined an unlimited game, how long do i have to wait to play?
Because there is a game with 1 player left, so i can joint that game.
