Where did everyone go?

#1 Post by jimgov » Mon Feb 05, 2024 1:25 am

It's been a long...LONG...time since I've been here. I've dropped in a few times recently just to poke around and there aren't many games going on. In fact, most things that I see are from 2020. The question is...did online Diplomacy die or is everyone somewhere else playing? I'm going to a con in two weeks and am bringing my Diplomacy game to try and get some in person gaming and want to bone up on the game before I go. I really loved getting on here almost every night and seeing tons of games going on, but that was a long time ago.

Are none of the available 48 public games to your liking?

If not, have you considered hosting your own?

I joined just before the pandemic, so I can't say "where people went." However there are plenty of games that happen on the sight with 1 day phases or more. I will say I haven't seen many live games though...

I see that there are games available, but there are only like 8 or 9 people online. I guess it was a long time ago, but there were always people here to jump on a gunboat at a drop of a hat. Oh well, I'll find a game then.

Some people hide their online status.
