We have a great mix of players for this game. There are veterans and first timers, and several people new to the UWS Diplomacy family. I hope you all have a chance to get to know each other over the next couple months. My only advice to the players is to get in contact with everyone. The game is called diplomacy for a reason. The moves and updates are a tiny fraction of the game, and the real fun and challenge of diplomacy happens behind the scenes. I hope you all spend a lot of time crafting elaborate alliances, currying the favor of your friends, and instilling fear in the hearts of the enemies. I wish you all the best of luck in your megalomaniacal quest for world domination.
here's a recap of my last couple emails:
1 - moves are due Tuesday and Friday by 8 pm eastern. Please submit your moves in JDip format to my email account. Updates will go up at 10 pm eastern
2 - please get in builds/disbands by 8 pm eastern on Saturday. This gives people more time to work on diplomacy with the updated boards in front of them.. I will post builds disbands once they are all in.
3 - submit press whenever you like. i will post it as is.
4 - This is a game of diplomacy. I should not have to tell you how important it is to introduce yourselves and start forging alliances.
5 - I will assume that the above email addresses are the official ones for the purposes of the game, unless you tell me otherwise.
6 - Anything, and everything, is fair game in diplomacy.

Home SC Map:
The colors here correspond to your nation's home supply centers, which is where you can build new units. You will need to control these if you want to build.
Here's the starting map.
