Diplomacy Newsgroup?


For those of you who don't read net.games, I sent out an initial
inquiry two weeks ago to see if there was any interest in a play-by-
(net)-mail game of Diplomacy, which is a multi-player game of
negotiation invented in the mid 1950's by Allan Calhamer.  I am
willing to act as a gamesmaster and coordinate the affair.  Response
was quite good, and I even received enough spectator interest to warrant
putting the game's in-progress movement reports on the net for general
consumption. To this purpose, the formation of net.games.dip has been
suggested, to keep those interested in this game (and Diplomacy in
general) informed without cluttering net.games for those who are not.
What's the general reaction out there?  Any strong objections?
