Define “soon”. This weekend is definately no-go.
Of course, IMHO Diplomacy is better via email.
I define “soon” to be as soon as I have enough people to play a full game.
I agree that Diplomacy is better over email, but part of the reason I want to play it in person is to get people who are *not* currently familiar with the game to be familiar with the game. You really have to play a full game in person once or twice in order to get the feel fo the game.
BTW, I could master an email game for GNO, if you’d like.
I seriously will play. You can count me on your for sure list.
