(some of you may get this twice as<br /> i will be using the ol' cut and paste and sending via the new site<br /> www.diplomaticcorp.com)<br /> <br /> Thanks to the many people (okay 2 people) who have been asking after<br /> my newsletters.... I've been a little unwell of late and not able to<br /> keep up with my games (of which i discovered i'm overloaded!!) so it's<br /> been a long time in coming.<br /> <br /> General Hello<br /> <br /> Hello to all our new members. For those who don't know me, I'm Steve<br /> (aka Deathblade_penguin) moderator of Dc. I mainly deal with the GMs<br /> and look after the games whilst my fellow mods (Mike Sims and Trout)<br /> keep the site running.<br /> <br /> Man we have a lot of games running at the moment with a lot of players<br /> in those games. Many people ask me - why we are restricting new<br /> members to play one game, or even why we are restricting new Gms to<br /> play one game as well.. well it's simply a matter of, in past<br /> experiences we've found that not every player recognises the<br /> commitment a game needs (often 6-8 months) and some people can find it<br /> easy to get overloaded with games (hey trust me as an experienced<br /> player i've let myself get overloaded too).. so it's just a way of<br /> trying to get those games running smoothly. For those of you who are<br /> in a game suffering from CD from missing players you can see why.<br /> <br /> However, if you are a new player and see a second game you want to<br /> sugn up for, just drop your GM a line and they will talk to us.. (wink<br /> wink nudge nudge, say no more)<br /> <br /> Exciting New Variants<br /> <br /> Man as nice as it is to play a standard game of diplomacy, sometimes<br /> it is nice to get in a game that is a variant - something slightly<br /> different and do we have a great range on offer.<br /> <br /> Currently for those diplomacy addicts, Felix needs players for his<br /> express gunboat game. Fast Deadlines.. and run by a very efficient Gm.<br /> <br /> For those who like the slower pace we have a Youngstown variant, Hugh<br /> is running his engineer variant, Trout's got his pandamoniom (which he<br /> may seek players for) and I am goign to run both a Twilight Zone<br /> diplomacy and a deluge variant. Wondering what all this means. email<br /> me at steve@hotmail.com and i will tell you. or go to<br /> www.diplomaticcorp.com and check out the OPEN GAMES site.<br /> <br /> In fact, any questions or anything - just email me<br /> <br /> Movement Of Games<br /> <br /> As those of still follow the yahoo group, we've been moving a lot of<br /> the new games across to their own boards there. There is also a<br /> section called commonspace where we would like to recreate this<br /> message board.<br /> <br /> Other Stuff<br /> <br /> Well isn't Heroes exciting at the moment. We in Australia are a<br /> week behind but still i thought it was fairly obvious about ol' Adam<br /> Monroe hey,<br /> <br /> Okay - that's it from me for this week. Any suggestions or improvment<br /> or comments you have, please feel free to direct to the message boards<br /> or to me at stevelytton@hotmail.com<br /> <br /> Stephen<br /> aka Deathblade_penguin (Knight of the Shrubbery)<br /> www.diplomaticcorp.com</div>
