For a long time I was planning on writing the rules up for you, but I realized it would be quicker if I just linked them. So, read above, then read below for the changes.
How to play online:
1. First, you have to PM me with what you do, as like how before you would write something down.
2. No abbreviations for provinces. I know most people do that, but as I'm assuming most people here will be new I figure it will be easier this way. Plus I don't know them. You can abreviate all you want in the thread, just not in your actions.
3. You can communicate with anyone, anywhere, here or through PM or through aim. Anything. The only thing that holds is what you PM me, so feel free to lie as much as you want anywhere. Open alliances, back door alliance, hidden collations, downright backstabbing, and honesty are all part of this game. Finding a balance is the toughest part. Too devious and no one will trust you, too honest and you'll be betrayed to your doom.
That, coupled with the link I gave, is the basics for how to play Diplomacy. Feel free to ask any questions about it.
Also, I don't have a map up yet. I'm still looking around for one I like enough to use.
Seven people play the game, the first seven to post will get in.
