Diplomacy?

[little_ribbit]

There has been interest in playing some Diplomacy this weekend. I'm available Friday or Saturday, and I assume Saturday will work better for most people. I mentioned it in comments to my previous post, since my friend Scott (squid314) will actually be in town, and is a big fan of it.

So far, we have Mike and myself, and Eric (Maniakes) interested. Assuming

I'd prefer Friday evening, if that works with others' schedules.

Friday evening, for a game that can take upwards of 7 hours? How early could you potentially start?

[maniakes]

I can leave work a little after 5, which'd get me to your place around 6.

[little_ribbit]

Ok, if Scott's up for it and we can get enough people, we'll plan to start at our place around 6. With food. :D

Shall I call Doug and Summer and see if they're interested?

[little_ribbit]

If I don't get more hits in a couple days, sure.

[maniakes]

I talked to them after dinner tonight. They're both probably in.

It's looking like no one actually has Diplomacy, and it's got way too many people. So unless Mike finds Diplomacy this morning at the local game store, I believe the intended game will be defaulting to just hanging out.

However, Scott's latest post indicates just how awesome his local friends are: http://squid314.livejournal.com/277115.html

I could print out a map at work, then we could improvise pieces somehow. Or we could just hang out.

Never mind, Mike found a copy!

[maniakes]

Yay!

Doug and Summer aren't going to make it, after all. I'm still in for whatever's going on.
