webDiplomacy


webDiplomacy is an online multiplayer Diplomacy board game, with an unique score and ranking system.
When you register you get 100 points, and to join a game you will need this points to give in a pot, what will be shared on survivors, winners, or winner takes all. The game start automaticly when all players joined. There are a lot of additional settings to create a game, anonymous messaging, only global messaging, or no messaging, winner takes all, the amount of points to give in the pot, time limit to commit orders, and Maps, yes there are other diplomacy map variants. If you not give orders in the given time limit, an other external player can take your place and continue the game, this way you will loose the points what you placed in the pot. If you lost a game, but you are below 100 points you will get back the points what you given in the game until you reach 100, so you will never run out of points if you can't achive victory.
To give orders you need to use drop down lists, what are easy to use, but not the best solution. With JavaScript, html5, or flash it could be much better, to click on the unit, and give orders to him by this way, also the graphic, or boards are not too beautiful, but they are simple.
There are many webDiplomacy sites, it is OpenSource, so you can create your Own webDiplomacy site, and server.
