Re: What chance of an update to the Diplomatic Pouch sites?

Gents, 

       I agree with Thorin.  I have not played on the judges for a long time, because I got hooked on Bounced ( www.dipbounced.com ).  I find the interface to be much easier to master, and much more pleasant to use.  I have never found any lack of accuracy or robustness in the interface at all.  I still use the various sites accessible from the Diplomatic Pouch for reference, as they are incredibly thorough.  I do think you might add 'The Gamers' Guide to Diplomacy' from Avalon Hill, but that is just a wish.  At any rate, I support Thorin's initiative wholeheartedly.

Hi Manus and Sam, 

In my view the dpjudge has the cleanest and best game-play interface, an unsurpassed database of Diplomacy resources and variants and an excellent player base... 

However there are new Diplomacy sites appearing which are easier for players to find, join and navigate, but which (in my view) have much weaker game / playing interfaces. 

On my wishlist for an improved Diplomatic Pouch 
- simple home page with easy access for new players and viewing of new and in progress games, results, etc 
- inhouse tournament functions and player rankings 
- more active forum, 
- etc etc 

Cheers, 
Thorin
