For Dippy? That makes three, assuming Steve is in...

Now, do I create a game of seven and hope we fill it? I've asked around my local wargames site and a couple of mates as well so hopefully even if we're not all forumit's here we'll be good...

Must get seven. Pointless with too few.

Indeed. I've never been a fan with short numbers, to be fair. I'll set up a game and we can start whenever people are ready.

I'm playing VDiplomacy too

Somewhat higher scale - anyone fancy a game of Dippy?

https://www.playdiplomacy.com/

This one your preferred site?  I was going to pick this one as the recommended one in going online; now is as good a time as any.

More than happy to play dippy if you will have me. Been over 20 years since i last played

Yes, that's the site - and yes, you're all welcome, quicker we hit seven the better.

Game is up, it's Pendraken (id 167959) password is "darklord".

Set to twelve hour turn arounds but if people complete their moves and finalise orders it will auto finish and move on

I look forward to being thoroughly thrashed whatever country I am, but more about the game

You should find it if you go to "Join Game" and search on pending/new games, friends, and name or number

As I think we're five, I'm going to invite an interested club mate in

Can't say I've ever played but may join a future game when I've had a chance to peruse the rules

Apologies Diplomacy players.
I've a busy week ahead and don't think I can commit sufficient time to this first game.

  waiting for the "confirmation" email so that I can see the site...

So am I but as it is coming to a hotmail account, which the system vilifies, it may mean using something else.  I guess that means setting up another email account somewhere.

Steve, turn speed is about once or twice a day; you need only play enough to get dismembered

Good luck with Hotmail. I'm on Gmail and the confirmation email had dropped to my junk mail anyway!

Yep - still nothing's come through.  I guess we will have to move on to PLAN-B.

One person got email thru straight off and done, another seems to have hit a blank hole...

I have no idea why, I suspect ISP or mail provider level filtering so the email isn't even hitting junk folders etc :/

Still nothing here...
and I dont have a hotmail, etc type email addy

Did that straight away; nothing.  Set up a gmail account: nothing yet!

Nothing received at all.  I have tried emailing support but in the current circumstances I am doubtful of that doing any good so for the moment I shall be contemplating the horizon and choosing my Desert Island Discs.

Wierd. My confirmation hit Gmail OK but was in Spam. One friend had theirs thru fine, another received nada - I suspect isp/mail provider level shenanigans!
