Saboteur diplomacy is basically regular diplomacy except with many more players who are randomly split into teams (7 to be exact. 5 bucks if u can guess what the 7 teams correlates with before reading the next sentence). Each team is assigned one country to play as and the game progresses as normal except for a few key differences:

1) move sets are voted upon. Each team member can submit one move set to the team king (randomly assigned and with no real power, much like the king of england) and each unit is treated differently. The unit does whatever the majority of votes says it should do. Basically what I'm trying to emphasize is that just cause a team member sees his wish for one unit fulfilled, doesn't mean his wishes for the other units will be. If there is a tie for what a specific unit should do, that unit will hold.

2) in every team, besides for their being a king, there will be a saboteur. Yes, that means u know for sure that the king is not the saboteur. However, the saboteur does not win if his assigned country wins. His alliance falls with another country (which is randomly assigned before the game). The saboteur positions are given out privately and obviously, the saboteur doesn't want his team members (or arguablly, anyone) knowing who he is. The only person he knows he can for sure trust is his real king (cause he can't be the saboteur). The saboteur has to pretend like he has his country's best interest at heart while really leading them astray or dividing them up as to promote conflict and voting ties.

3) the game is played lusthog style so you can only vote draw if there is a held stalemate line. Otherwise, the game must solo.

4) press works a little differently. Instead of the press going on in the site, It will go on in a instant messaging type thing. This is between teammates to discuss how they will vote/weeding out the saboteur and to coordinate with team members on other teams. The in game messaging will be reserved for kings only. Teams may choose to have their king speak for the country as a whole when talking for other countries although that is not at all required.

Tell me what you guys think!
