Diplomacy game

Outcome of turn 1.

The essence of a Diplomacy game is the discussions between players in regard to alliances joint actions, no-go agreements and non aggression pacts. For the first turn we had 47 messages between the players, and that was spectaclular because in the first few turns most players were concentrating on taking unoccupied resource territories of the small countries like Belgium, Serbia and Greece, and not fighting each other.

Here you can see France has taken Spain, Austria has taken Serbia, and Germany has taken Holland.

 

The Times for the beginning turn 2

The paper reflects things that might have happened in the real world, mirroring what happened in the game. Each country will over time  have an atrocity story so the umpire is not picking on any partcular player, or country. It also has some other story lines for fun.
