Re: New Game?

I still read most of the Ngame emails, but haven't
joined a game for a while, though I am trying to set
up a game for some friends and friends of friends who
are new to Play by Email Diplomacy (and one or two
newbies to the game as a whole). In fact, I was
thinking of asking all of you if someone would be
interested in GMing this venture. If you could serve
in this capacity, please let me know...
