[LURKERS/SPOILERS] Never Gonna Tell A Lie, And Hurt You!

[BaII]

So how does this game even work. It looks to be quite interesting.

Thanks Bob, literally did not get that until right now.

In my name? You had never got it?

I never really read past "Brick...and some last name"

Due to the fact that Gaspar is spaming Scooter's thread I've got a bad feeling about him. I'll probably stick with Rowain.

Reply from Rowain:

I'm sure he [MJW] will camp the forum profile and count who posts what and when to meta what is going to happen In the game )

Posting here to set off meta alarm bells from MJW. Not sure what alarms that would be, but I'm sure he'll think of something.

Edit: I also told Gaspar about your thread's existence.

Haven't played or lurked diplomacy before, watching this one.

Can someone link to the basic rules somewhere? From reading all the threads so far I get the general flow of the game but I don't know the mechanics of supply centers, victory conditions, etc.

Lurking this makes me want to play :P

Official Rulebook

Collection of various strategy articles

Brick has the official rules and some strategy articles in the Game State thread.

I know the real reason why Rowain is fixed on scooter is that I suggested that we attack him. Speaking of him here is some more CC from him. I have to add that he might have a subconscious and Freudian desire to be backstabbed.

Reading through the threads, I remember now why I disliked playing Diplomacy but loved lurking it.

Too many "NAP"s for my liking. This is Diplomacy man! Alliances are supposed to be fluid

They won't hold

Eh - I guess maybe it's a terminology thing I'm hung up on. I think of "NAP"s as a civ term with the connotation that they are nigh unbreakable. "Alliances" in Diplomacy I think are more fluid
