(map will be kept up-to-date with each turn)


Unique Rules:
  • Rather than assigning all aspects of a country to a single player or hydra, this game will divide responsibilities between two roles: a Diplomat and a General. Diplomats will negotiate with other players on their country's behalf, while Generals are tasked with submitting orders to me each turn. Generals are not allowed to interfere with the negotiations at all, not even with reactions.
  • Diplomats and Generals will be assigned their Powers separately and randomly. Power assignments for the Diplomats will be publicly revealed at the start of the game, while Generals will be assigned their Powers in secret to prevent outside coordination with their Diplomats. If a General is caught revealing themselves to their Diplomat during the game, they will immediately be subbed out and banned from future games.
  • This is a public press/NOC game. Diplomats are not allowed to negotiate anywhere outside of the main game thread. Joining our Discord server is not mandatory for this game, but it could still be useful if you need reminders about when updates are happening.
  • Diplomats cannot force Generals to do something. While the Diplomats are free to negotiate, agree to alliances, and suggest specific moves for their Generals, said Generals are not required to uphold anything. What happens on the board is ultimately in their hands. If you're a General, please do not think of this as an excuse to ignore the game thread completely; you should still stay up-to-date on negotiations to make informed decisions.
  • Draws, when proposed, will include all surviving Powers. This is something we've ping-ponged back and forth on, but I want to make this the standard going forward. For this game it's worth noting that while Diplomats can propose and discuss draws, Generals will be responsible for submitting actual draw votes.
Important Notes:
  • Please follow all Smogon and Circus Maximus forum rules.
  • The game will use the Classic Diplomacy map made for seven players.
  • Generals should submit orders to me privately on Smogon or Discord before each specified deadline. If you fail to do this, it will be treated as an NMR (No Moves Received) and all of your units will hold in place.
  • Spring and Fall order phases will last for 48 hours each after the previous results have been posted in the game thread. Retreat and build phases will last for 24 hours each. Deadlines will not be extended to accommodate late order submissions, but the game may be paused or extended for a certain period if a majority of players vote for it.
  • I will be using Backstabbr to process orders and adjudicate the game, with screenshots of the board being posted in the game thread each turn.
  • If you submit orders that are invalid/impossible somehow (for example, if you ordered an army from Munich to Greece for some reason), they will be ignored and the relevant unit will hold in place.
  • Generals will be subbed out if they miss multiple phases of orders in a row, and Diplomats will be subbed out if they fail to post in the thread at least once per Spring/Fall phase.
  • Once a Power has been eliminated from the game (defined by their supply center count reaching zero), its Diplomat will no longer be allowed to post in the game thread.

If you want to know which Generals are paired with who, come ask for spectator perms on the Discord server! https://discord.gg/vydanhnUxr

I am still sending out PMs to the Generals to reveal their assigned Powers. Please do not post in the thread until I say that Spring 1901 has started. I plan to start the game at 9PM PST (GMT-7).
