Diplomacy
It's been a long time since I've had a good game of Diplomacy, and so I briefly ventured over to The Diplomatic Pouch to see how the community was faring. A while ago Hasbro purchased Avalon Hill (the publishers of the game), and there was some concern that on-line games might get the chop. I'm glad to see this wasn't the case.

Read an excellent article on Eliminating the Paradox in Diplomacy, and skimmed over the response to it. Lots of good arguments on both sides, but I won't mention them here.

I've been thinking of seeing if anyone's interested in playing a low-turnaround Diplomacy game at work, with maybe one `turn' (Move+Retreats) per week. Ian keeps telling me how much he loves strategy games, so I expect he will join.
