Live Diplomacy!

[Magmaniac]

Alright motherfuckers. I've bitched to people about getting some live diplomacy going for long enough, I figured it was time to quit bitching and do something.
A game of live diplomacy will be held by me, on IRC, sometime this week to test to see if this will work. If it does, this will be a regular thing. Post if you are interested and when you are available over the next week.
I need four players.

[3Vee]

Not available this week, sorry. Midterm and a project due. Next week I'm on break though...

[West]

yay!

next week is spring break and i am positive im not going anywhere (yeah i got a dull life, no girl :concern: )
so im in

[Magmaniac]

Right, so.

Anyone else want in? <_< >_>

[Maegtelluma]

Could feasibly do this starting anytime after Monday.

[SolidSamurai]

Just give them the channel. If anyone is out, I'll be in.

[Flametrooper]

I can do it on any day Wednesday to Sunday. Give me the time.

[Magmaniac]

Wednesday evening is good for me, any time after like 4 pm (CST)
What about you guys?

[3Vee]

Probably Wednesday should be good here. *ignores papers*

Although I haven't used IRC for ages...

[Magmaniac]

Ok so the plan right now is to meet on irc tomorrow at 4PM(CST) and I will see who shows up and go from there.

People who have expressed interest:
3Vee
WestDC
Maegtelluma
SolidSamurai
Flametrooper

This is just a test to see how it goes, and if it goes well, I will do these regularly.

[3Vee]

I can't really start before 5 CST, 6 would be better.

[Maegtelluma]

I will be back in my room at approximately 6PM EST, ideally speaking (with dinner in mind) a 6:30est start would be best for me.

[3Vee]

Latest news has Diplo going down in about half an hour. Be there. There's an IRC FAQ somewhere around if you need that sort of help.

[Maegtelluma]

seeking said faq, let me know if you're full up and such.

[3Vee]

Actually, Mag hasn't showed up yet... so I dunno what's up.

Here is the map, assuming four players show up. We still need another person because WestDC logged on and went idle forever. -_-

I (yellow) won by the way with 14 SCs.
Shishkabob (purple) came in second, with 8,
3Vee (red) came in third with 2,
and Maegtelluma (green) came in fourth with zero.

[Magmaniac]

What'd you guys think, would you do something like this again if I hosted it? would you want more people to play? Would anyone else be interested in playing in the future who didn't this time?

[3Vee]

I'd love to have a bigger game, personally. Not enough variables here for me to make my living. ;)

But good game, people.

[West]

was that game done live on irc? or was it a typical diplomacy game?

[Magmaniac]

It was on IRC, we went to a private channel (#LiveDiplo) and everyone talked to each other via IRC, each turn was fifteen minutes (or as soon as I got all the orders) and I made the map and then put the link to the most recent map in the topic for the channel.

[West]
