Hi Sindyr,

What you really want to do is to play in what is left of the postal
Diplomacy hobby (most people there use E-Mail and phone just as you
describe). My szine, the Abyssinian Prince, uses three week
deadlines, but there are others out there in the UK and North
America as well. Personally, I'm not sure why this mode is not
a little bit more popular given people's busy schedules (I
prefer it), but it isn't. You can find the web page to my
szine at:

http://devel.diplom.org/DipPouch/Postal/Zines/TAP/

At an intermediate step, there are a lot of non-Judge human
adjudicated parts of the hobby with standard 1 week deadlines,
these include the DipWorld (a yahoo group) and Cat23/WorldMasters
people (although I'm not sure if they have a regular home page
other than for the WorldMasters tournament at the moment).

In terms of volume, the largest number of games are those
with the shortest deadlines and the smallest number of games
are those with the longest... in a worldwide sense.

That seems to be the trend. But you can find what you want
if you look.

i run a game with 2 weeks per move using jdip. we're in the middle of a
game currently, but will probably be looking for players for next game.
