Funny. I’ll play that. Make it an anonymous all neutral game, everyone is Disliked vs everyone - announce my nation and then start the timer… 
Brad hell i thought I had the corner on notorious reputation… Or maybe I just need to be more active to catchup!
3 needed…
Clint
Just added myself to the list :hug:
Now 2, the end is in sight…
Tell your friends, better still tell your enemies… :)
Clint
2 more…! Come now folks, let’s get this game on the road!
Ha. I’d love to play, but alas, I’m in two gunboats right now and I have to finish one of those first…
Bradford
Now 1 needed.
Clint
So? Come on now, I need to know if I’m writing diplo’s or expecting them… 
Heck I’ll send you a a diplo… 
Ah what the heck, I can join in another game. I sent off an email to MEGames, if a slot is still open…
The game is now full. We’re hoping to get it out today.
Clint
Good luck everyone… got my turn already!
Remember - it’s SILENCE except through diplos (50 words or less) from here on out.
One item: Clint, the rules say that you’ll publish the list of 25 players, but not their positions, allegiances, etc. I didn’t see the list of 25 players in the front sheet.
Dave
Why bother? Publish the list after the game.
ahh Drew… if you know the list of players, then you can figure out if certain nations exhibit certain “characteristics” of certain players…
like maybe a certain nation always moves its armies in mirror-image direction? Then you KNOW who the player is… LOL Sorry Tony…
And of course, the rules above and on the front sheet state that the list of players is known. If you want my rationale for that, it’s to level the playing field per the above. Different subsets of folks know some part of the list of players, but if all know the whole list of players, but no nations, then that is at least even.
This should be fun! I can’t see the harm in knowing who is is the game. We should have a fair idea by who has been posting here previously.

Hmmm. I agree with both Drew and Dave. Might I have been celebrating a little too hard recently? Lots of water and sleep so I can pick a fight with someone in the morning…
I’m keeping a game log, see you at the end of the road!
Yes, sorry that was missed, I had a note to do it. I’ll add the list to the diplo for the first turn.
Clint
Clint,
I am new to diplo’s and the diplo instruction seems a little vague to me. Here are some specific issues as I draft my diplo’s:
“Won’t” is this contraction 1 or 2 words?
“Turn One” or “T1” are either or both of these 1 word?
Another question that is tickling my brain:
Is it ok to try to use paragraph and sentance structures to convey addition meaning; asssuming the additional meaning is otherwise appropriate to include in diplo’s?
Sorry, but I have spent too long in various spy/mystery novels.
