I have played online a few times over the decades, and in person once. I think we gave up in person.

I have spent many, many hours reading these archives[1]. Recommended if you find the game interesting.

The Diplomacy set I bought used, in elementary school, had a set of back issues of Diplomacy World with it. This was before even Dungeons and Dragons existed. I think the way pre-Internet fan-presses had similar qualities to the Internet is a fascinating study.

And Diplomacy itself certainly was one precursor to the "addictive interface".
