Hey all,
We have a new Nomad leader!  Unifying those random wanderers from around the world will now be Jay North - Everyone say "Hi, Jay North".  Word has it he comes from a strong Nomadic background, and has roamed at least two major deserts, three savannahs, and one great plain.  His credentials certainly fit the bill.  Deadline will now be Tuesday, to give our newcomer a chance to orient himself - track the sun, the stars, find an oasis, and well, whatever else Nomads do!
Tuesday, 5/4.  3pm Central.
Enjoy,
-mike

Greetings! 
 
And welcome to this, the three-hundred and third game of Diplomaticcorp Diplomacy.  This game shall henceforth be known as “Furry Little Woodland Creatures”, in honor of the FLWC - standing up for the rights of little (and furry) woodland creatures all throughout the Haven world.  With a strong presence in this game the FLWC will surely keep a watchful eye on the progress.
 
I’m glad you came out to play this!  I spend a lot of time thinking of Diplomacy variants and how to make them interesting and challenging…  I know most of you - some have been past opponents in complex games, others are running incredibly tough Winter Blitz games, some are regulars that have been playing at dc since the early years… and a few are completely new.  All of you have had at least some sort of good impression on me regarding your diplomatic abilities to be invited to the game!
 
Who am I?  (aside from some guy that designs mysteriously ominous looking maps?)  Well most of you probly already know me.  But for those who don’t, I’m one of the moderators here at dc, and have been playing Dip for 5 or 6 years.  I got hooked early on making fantasy variants, and this one is by far my greatest concoction.  It took months of work to get it just right so hopefully you find it enjoyable.  I live in Lisle, IL (a small suburb of Chicago) w my wife and 3 little kids… I do network administration and web design work for a living.  (intros are welcome from all – we’re going to be here a while!)
 
Keep in mind I tend to run a consistent and predictable game.  If I say results are going to be out, chances are they will be so within a short time after the deadline.  Thus, if you don’t get moves in on time you are subject to a typical NMR (no moves received) in which all your units will hold.  These have a funny way of turning the game upside down unpredictably so if you don’t want to find your race suddenly in chaos and regrouping just to stay alive, use prelims.  Use them all the time.  Consistently using prelims is the best Dip skill you can ever learn.  (right after lying, cheating, stealing, plotting, misdirecting, evading, … )
 
So what are we waiting for?  Who are you playing?  Find out now!
If any of you don’t have a “Location” on the website, feel free to update that (or let me know and I can) – it’s always fun to know where your enemies are playing from).
