Remember folks, you've got to register with the USIN judge before you sign
onto the game.  If you 've never played using a computer judge, you really
should download and read the "newbies guide ..."  It is very helpful.

Here are some useful addresses:

Newbies' Guide to the Judge :  READ THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Diplomatic Pouch:  a homepage for a judged Diplomacy hobby organization.
It has all sorts of useful articles and information and computer programs.

I will register the game on an on-line mapper program so that you can look
at a map of our game on-line.  The map will show unit positions, deadlines,
etc.  http://www.floc.net/observer.py?page=gameform

play.  Arrange them in any order you prefer.  In this case, I'm telling the

In the above paragraph, keep your code word to yourself, always!!  It must
be used each time you contact the computer.
