I believe it. Playing Diplomacy, especially for years on Dipbounced, taught me more about strategy and game theory than any other resource. The community of players are all deep thinkers and incredibly ruthless. We used to have 2-3 day Diplomacy sessions back in college where we'd just do game after game and I miss it sorely.

If you were to ask me to pick the most pure strategy games, Diplomacy would be #1 and maybe EVE Online would be #2.

I'm looking for hardcore Diplomacy players to fill out the roster of a one-move-a-week, online-only game. Send me an email if you're interested.

Very tempting offer that I passed along to a couple of people. At the moment I'm preparing to change jobs and launch a business simultaneously and I'm trying to reduce any commitments that I have.

Thank you for the offer.

Martin Shubik once claimed to me that he more or less invented Diplomacy.

I forget whether this was based on his involvement in So Long Sucker, or whether he claimed a more direct connection.

I've always wished there were a big online community that could consistently keep Diplomacy games going smoothly...

There is. Send me an email.

I couldn't find your e-mail address, so I sent you a tweet.
