In light of the conversation I am having with one of our new players, I propose a TRUE full diplomacy game. In THIS game, there will be NO rules! Ally with whom you want for how long you want, speak outside the forum, plan, scheme, gang up, have secret alliances, make any trades and issue ANY orders the program allows. If 11 of you want to get together and kill me from the very start of the game, I will welcome it! Gank, backstab, and except to be betrayed and lied to!
However... the win condition is STILL only single player, 5 regions to win Rex, no team victories.
Maybe Brek can make it interesting for the winner. Some sort of title, little fancy graphic thing on your avatar or profile?
Any Interest?

I would like in as my first full game in many years. Would we have a random selection of nations?

There are enough different kingdoms to select from now that I'm not sure a draft, or kingdom assignments are necessary. However, what I will do is wait until we have at least half a dozen committed players, then I will create the game. I'll announce a day ahead of time, and post the exact hour I will create, so that if there is anybody who is very concerned about getting their first choice, they can be ready to claim it. I won't choose until the next day.
I count three players so far...

Can you set it for 72 hour turnaround time on the turn processing?

I would appreciate 72 hours turnaround time as well, but won't object to whatever's decided on.

Interestingly this is the question I asked recently after playing a few games of Alamaze. I had taken a 10+ year absence from pbm and as I mentioned in that post full diplomacy was the way that I got the most enjoyment of games.
Fortunately Alamaze has so much going for it you can play and enjoy it in any case.
I would be happy to put my name forward for a full diplomacy game if it is a 72hr game.
