Rules
1. Diplomacy game rules can be read here: http://www.backstabbr.com/rules
One main difference from the rules given is in chaos diplomacy, you are allowed to build on any supply center you own, not just your home centre.
Spoiler: Most important mechanics to understand
For some more clarification on the mechanics of this game.
The phases will go in this loop, each loop being a year: (not including the year 0 build)
Movement (Spring)
Spring Retreat
Movement (Fall)
Fall Retreat
Builds

After the fall retreat, all supply centres that are currently occupied by an opposing unit switch sides. The supply centres are the countries with dots. (The territories people start with)
It's important noting that if someone is on your supply centre at the end of the spring phase, it's still yours because it doesn't change hands until the end of the fall phase.
The amount of supply centres you own at the end of each year is the max amount of units you can have. If you have more units than supply centres, you are forced to disband units on the build phase. Alternatively if you have more supply centres than units on the build phase, you will be allowed to build new units on any of your open supply centres.
If you ever find yourself with zero supply centres, then you will not be allowed to have any units making it impossible to take any more eliminating yourself from the game.
There can only ever be one unit in each territory.

Each unit can do 1 of 4 things during a movement phase.
They can
hold
which means they don't move.
They can
move
to another territory.
They can
support
the action of another unit. This increases the priority of the units action.
Fleets can
convoy
armies across water.
This link gives visuals and explains it.
http://webdiplomacy.net/intro.php

All orders are processed simultaneously so there will be conflicts. For example, if two different armies try to enter the same territory with no support, they will both "bounce" back and fail to enter it. One of these armies would need more support than the other to be able to take it.

Finally, if a unit gets displaced (if an army with 2 support moves onto a territory with only 1 army, it will displace the 1 strength army) it will either have to retreat or disband in the retreat phase.
Disbanding it removes it from the board. Retreating it lets you move it to an OPEN neighbouring territory that wasn't bounced that turn.

2. PM me your orders. They have to be clear and unambiguous or it will fail.

3. You may send me impossible orders, but it will fail to succeed.

4. Game ends when one player has 18 centers or all remaining players vote (via PM) for a draw. All draw votes remain anonymous and hidden and the game only ends if all remaining players vote for a draw.

5. No editing any of your posts. If you make a particularly embarrassing typo or grammatical mistake, you're going to have to live with that stain on your record.

6. Once you get officially eliminated, you're allowed a few bah posts, but don't clog up the thread.

7. If you don't know how a certain move combo would work out and you don't feel like researching it, don't hesitate to pm me to ask.

8. No talking strategy for this game outside the game thread. Everything must be public.

9. Take over the world and have fun.

10. Switzerland is impassable. No one can go there.

11. Remember that only owning supply centers give you units. Other territories don't give you any new units.

12, Request for an extension of deadline can be made at anytime in the game thread or via PM. They have to be bolded, and the duration of the extension has to be mentioned clearly.



Post in this thread to sign up! We need 34 players for this game, it will begin soon after we hit that number (assuming we get there!).

Also I've been told that the picture with the country assignments isn't showing properly on some phones - if you press down on it for a while and then go to 'view image' you should be able to see the whole thing.
