Dipsters NP H32 24hr GB Game. Read game listing before joining.


Welcome to 1425e, a fast-paced Dipsters Group game.

This is an H32 (Hundred) Variant no press fast gunboat game
with 24 hour deadlines occurring on weekdays only.

The H32 Variant provides all the benefits of the standard
game in a quick, three-player setting.  Based historically
on the Hundred Years War when Burgundy, England, and France
each vied for control of France, the H32 Variant opens with
a very dense board: 17 Suplly Centers, 14 of which are
occupied at the game's beginning.  The struggle for the
neutrals is therefore quite contested and all players face
immediate threats to home centers.  With only three powers,
a long-term alliance is difficult to maintain since a player
with just 7 SCs is too close to victory (9 SCs) to trust.

To join this game you must be a member of either
The Dipsters Group or Diplomacy Direct
http://www.dipsters.org
-or-
you must have an ontime record greater than 90% on the judges
and you must have no willingly abandoned games.

Do not attempt to join this game if you do not meet
these requirements.


This game is conducted under standard EP House Rules:
http://www.diplom.org/DipPouch/Email/ep.house.rules.txt

In addition, this game is also conducted under the
house rules for the judge on which it is played.

The following special rules also govern this game:

1. Do not abandon this game.  Abandoning this game
will result in you being banned from all future
Dipsters Group games.

2. This game requires that you maintain a decent
ontime ratio.  Do not hold up the game by being late.
In the interest of maintaining timely play for all
players in this game, the GM must eject any player
who has been late more than 20% of the time in this
game and has already been late 4 times or more.

3. If you need an absence during the game, you should
do this on your own by submitting a 'set absence'
command to the judge in the following format:

'Set Absence Jan 01 00:00 to Jan 06 23:59'

Just be sure that you have requested your absence
well before you need it because the judge will not
accept an absence request that falls within the
current season.

4. In a press game the GM may eject any player who
continues to be verbally abusive after one warning.

5. In a no-press or gunboat game, you must keep your
anonymity through the end of the game and you must
not discuss the game until it has been completed.
If this game is part of a tournament, you must keep
this rule until the end of the tournament.
