Since MDG refuses to let several players join, we will be using this thread for the actual game of Diplomacy itself. This opening post will contain the rules, while the second post will contain the map and statistics.
Orders and Deadlines
Orders are to be sent to me ONLY to my account on GitP. This is so I don't have to go hunting for them, and to make record-keeping easier.
Each seasonal rotation will occur after TWO DAYS, at 11PM EST, with the first turn clock starting to tick seven hours from now, which is 11PM EST, unless my timezones are mixed up. The first turn will have this deadline extended to three days.
Orders MUST be in at this point, and the turn will be resolved. Anyone with no orders will have all their units hold. If you are worried issues may not let you make the deadline (Such as a shoddy connection, etc.) feel free to send in a set of fallback orders before you do your diplomacy for the turn. I will go on the most recent set of orders you send in, there is no penalty for this.
Orders should be simple enough, for example:
Army in Marseilles moves to Spain.
Illegal, incomprehensible or otherwise confusing orders will be discarded if new ones cannot be acquired. Please be legible, you have all the time in the world.
If orders are all put in before the deadline, I will advance the turn early, but the next turn's deadline will be the SAME. So if the turn finishes a day early, the next turn's deadline will be in three days rather than two. (Roughly) If you are sending in backup orders or think you may receive information that will change your mind, etc. Etc. Include a note with your orders asking that the turn not be moved forward early unless you later say otherwise.
Posting
Posting any kind of in character stuff in the thread, like war cabinet meetings, journals, future-documentaries, whatever, are both allowed and strongly encouraged. This is one of the main advantages of PbP diplomacy over other formats; roleplaying is easy and fun.
You may post whatever you like in the thread, (within reason, of course) war plans (lies) leaked documents detailing war plans or under the table dealings (fake) and declarations of friendship or aggression, (ephemeral) or whatever strikes your fancy.
