I am not affiliated with the site at all, other than recently joining. I think it would be great if more people joined so that it could become as great as Conquer Club in terms of interface and such.

Check it out and if you would like to do the same bump this thread.

Create a password protected game if you want to play with Conquer Club-members only.

Doesn't look too bad.

It's a new site! I missed my chance to be one of the first on CC, i won't miss this.

We need 3 more people. I've actually never played Diplomacy, but on reading the rules it sounds kind of like Axis and Allies without the luck factor. Good times. Join!

I'll try it out, if you guys/girls don't mind.

I've started another CC-friendly game, called "CC Open". Unlike CC, this one has no password so it might fill faster. We can use it to introduce non-CC players to our site.

Hell, I'll give it a try. Have no idea what's going on...

It looks games take a while to fill up (nothing new after playing on CC), so why not. On a side note, anyone know what their max # of games is?

The help page is pretty limited. Should we invade the forum and pester Avalanche? :twisted:

EDIT: Nevermind, seems Avalanche has already made an appearance here...

Same...of course it is a Beta, so it will probably take a while to get going. Props to whoever found this by the way, I'm really looking forward to this.

Ok. Just pointing it out. Hmmmmm I dont actually know how to play

PDF files of the rule books. I'm not sure which edition they're using, but I'm guessing the most recent one. It's not too complicated, although the support system can get a bit confusing.

Neoteny · Post by **Neoteny** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 4:53 pm

I'm in four games right now. I suppose I shouldn't get too crazy yet...

Frigidus · Post by **Frigidus** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 5:05 pm

Well, the private game is full so we just need to wait for everyone to click the link in the confirmation e-mail.

The Weird One · Post by **The Weird One** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 5:06 pm

I just joined... and I missed the private game :cry:

Neoteny · Post by **Neoteny** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 5:10 pm

I'm not sure about this confirm thing...

I suppose it's one way to prevent dead-beating...although it makes the preparation time much longer.

I'm pretty stoked about the rules though. Seems like blatant underhandedness can be rewarded. I'm curious to see how the interface works.
