Here is my initial Diplomacy World announcement:

Diplomacy World #111, the Fall 2010 Issue, is now available! Inside you'll find:

* Conrad Woodring on one of the most difficult journeys ever to reach a World DipCon

* The final installment of the Known World Demo Game, including all EOG's (from players and commentators)

* Gwen Maggi on how he became world champion...and others on how they didn't.

* Jim O'Kelley on the Rise of the Weasels

* The Epistemology of Strategy by Richard Maltz

* and sooooo much more

Download it now from the official Diplomacy World website at http://www.diplomac yworld.net

...and start thinking about what article you can contribute to the next issue. Or, at the very least, send in a lettter for some feedback!

Happy stabbing!

....and here is what Jim Burgess added when he decided I wasn't being forthcoming enough about how good the issue turned out:

Sure, you can say I'm biased because I'm one of the editors, but there's a great deal of wonderful reading in this issue.

We ended up with a great balance that ranges from Astrology to Epistemology (really!).

There is a rather chilling article from Graham Woodring on how he almost didn't get to World DipCon and lots of other World DipCon and other FTF tournament stories, some great articles on internet diplomacy, articles from people of the long ago Diplomacy past, and one from someone who just found us. And yes, you can check out your Diplomacy sign and ponder Epistemlogy of Diplomacy. All that and the end of the Known World demo game and more from our Postal old fogies and some gorgeous Silver Age press.

Check it out! And start writing something for us for next issue!!
