Diplomacy SIG Web Page

Welcome to the Diplomacy SIG Web Page! Here, you can find out about ongoing games the Diplomacy SIG is running, learn more about Diplomacy in general, or contact the people who run the SIG! For the standard blurb, read the Frequently Asked Questions page.

There are four main ways of playing Diplomacy:

• Face-to-face is the traditional way, where people sit around a board.
• Play-by-mail is the next method, where people send physical letters to each other, and someone coordinates the moves and sends out results.
• Play-by-email was the next evolution, similar to play-by-mail except that email was the method of communication.
• Judge Play, with an email program serving as adjudicator, was the natural progression. Check out the link for more information on this method.

Your first stop, for any level of ability, should definitely be The Diplomatic Pouch. This HUGE encyclopedia has information on the strengths and weaknesses of each country, information for newbies, information for experts, good endgames, good start games, you name it, they've got an article on it!
