ATTENTION - The following players have the failed mail flag set - to reset flag see Commands page. See also HAVE YOU CHANGED YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS LATELY? below.

All those who have a FAILED MAIL message flag are listed HERE - check it out and clear yourself before you get greylisted.

HAVE YOU CHANGED YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS LATELY? Then please check and change your address in the system as well. [The command and advice for this can be found on the Commands page]. Now and again I'm getting players trying to sign up for their second or more games unsuccessfully because the system only recognises their OLD address. Keep your own address up to date and you'll be fine when signing up for new games. Also when signing up please note Administraor's advice.

TO ALL DIP2000 PLAYERS regarding your passwords: Don't worry if you forget or mislay your passwords, because you are told/given them every week in your weekly updates.

FOR ALL YOU GAMERS OUT THERE: Dip2000 will soon be offering an exceptional 'war game', a battle for supremacy, ruthless slaying and if wished some diplomacy. And it's TOTALLY automated. I played this game YEARS ago when it was run as a Professional Play By Mail game and loved it. Now there will be no paper maps [unless you use the printout options] and no orders to post. Click HERE to find out more, and swot up on the rules of this remarkable game

Right, that's the introduction out of the way. All you need for your games are the 'buttons' on the left (or to be more precise the button marked Games), which will take you straight to your GM's game links. Each game has it's deadline plus map of that season on their respective page.

GMS: We're all here to help you in whatever way we can. Newcomers to Diplomacy [perhaps those used to only ftf play] might like to see the FAQ and the brief 'Introduction to Newcomers' describing what these pages are for and how to play the games.

Diplomacy Ratings: Also in the Dip2000 team doing the Diplomacy statistics for dip2000 games, are Karl Georg Øhrn, Pete Smith,
Ally Bain and John Wright. So, If you're interested in ratings keep an eye on these pages tend to change quite quickly. To see what they've produced so far click the 'Game Ratings' button on the left for further detail
