E-MAIL/WEB ONLY ISSUE! PDF will be available on the website. We also are being reproduced in Eternal Sunshine.


Web Page Address: http://www.diplom.org/Postal/Zines/TAP/index.html


We continue with the NEW Kendo Nagasaki game, join ANY time, just send me a guess!!!
Next issue I will say more about the medical problems I've been having. Finally, I'm getting to more knowledge about what is up. But I can't guarantee that the next issue won't also be delayed, so be patient with me, and I hope I feel better soon. I very much appreciate all the thoughts and comments of concern I've been getting.
This issue continues the szine/subszine inversion. As most of you know, this thing began as a "subszine" to Terry Tallman's North Sealth, West George, then became its own szine with a host of subszines. The subszines remaining will appear as sub-subszines to our flipflopped home in Doug Kent's Eternal Sunshine. Doug's incessant nagging is not keeping us on schedule, but will make it so we keep going. I'd like to keep writing and doing some game GMing (note that has been expanding). I'm set on the GMing, and I'm starting to write a bit, hope there might be more. Doug may or may not be winding down, I may have to flip that back around again and be the centerpiece for all the subszines, we'll see. My intent right now is to do that. Feel free to communicate with me about how you want to do that, or if anyone else wants TAP subszine status.
For production, in addition to the HTML's of each separate product on the web page, I will also have a PDF that you can print of the entire subszine (including my famous handdrawn maps!). You can just print the maps if you like, but remember maps are for pikers anyway, you don't need no steenkin' maps, keep them up in your head where they belong.
The Diplom.org site has moved. Chris Babcock is now in charge. It all went pretty well, all things considered, and most of you probably didn't even notice it was happening. But if you find you cannot access the website with the PDFs and HTMLs of all the past issues... well, please let me know and we'll fix it. If you looked before, I was having some problems with updating, but I've corrected them, so you should be able to see everything there. The address is still: http://diplom.org/.


THE ABYSSINIAN PRINCE FEATURES SECTION (CONS/LETTERS/MUSIC)
((For upcoming cons around the world: http://www.diplom.org/Face/cons/index.php, but note that some of the Americans have stopped posting the tournaments there. Shame, shame, shame... with the move of the diplom.org site, I hope this will be reinvigorated. TempleCon was an incredible success, we did get to three boards on Saturday morning, and had scads of new players to tournament Diplomacy. See the full report immediately below. World DipCon in Milan is getting lots of Facebook discussion lately, I can't make it, but I hope some of you can. It will be a GREAT time!!! For more details, contact Davide Cleopadre through the WDC web site: http://www.signoridelgioco.it/index.php?option=com_seminar&Itemid=53. Closer to home, the next up con on the North American circuit is the CodCon that Jim O'Kelley and the Windy City Weasels run: http://windycityweasels.org/codcon9. ))


TEMPLECON 2015 Report
(First Round of Four Tournament Nor'Easter)
Thanks to everyone and to the great TempleCon hosts, I reserved two crash rooms and four people stayed in them. I continue to think having crash rooms is a really important part of helping travelers who come from a distance to the con.

This is also the first tournament in the regional sub-Grand Prix tournament that is in its seventh year that we've dubbed the "Nor'Easter". The other tournaments are North American DipCon at Philly Massacre in July, the Boroughs tournament just west of Boston in August and Carnage the first weekend in November in Vermont, now at Killington.
Drop Dead Time Deadlines: These worked like a charm as usually, this is the way to play tournament dip, you're always moving, no waiting around while people write orders. The games really moved along, I again used my loud voice with reminders to people as needed, and people respected other players' space with need for order writing time. And the atmosphere was great. I ended up going again with the 17 minute spring, 15 minute fall continually running clock that gives more time for beer after the games.
More experience on selling Diplomacy on site: This was one of my most successful years ever. Rob Premus helped me out doing some teaching and we got to three boards in Round 2 at least partly from two players who had never played before. Stephen Baker in particular was pretty successful for his first game! I did a lot of my usual tricks, trying direct E-Mails to Judge players and other players I could identify as being in the area, this again was not successful, but I will keep trying again. But from connections through Alan Levin and webdiplomacy.net, we had a lot of webdiplomacy.net players who didn't have much or any FTF experience. The other notable additions were Dan Pollock and his daughter Emily Pollock. Emily was in her first tournament and finished second, holding her own against some really good players.
The TempleCon people are lovely to me, and as long as they stay off of SuperBowl weekend I think that we can build on this year and start building up the northeastern hobby again. Other local games are being formed now as we speak. Contact me if you're interested.
Some time I'd still like to run a DipCon or World DipCon. This year's tournament is something for me to build on.
Thanks everyone for coming and playing, I love running Dip tournaments, but this one was especially fun to run.


NEW FEATURE: ROCK AND ROLL BANDS AND MOMENTS THAT MATTER
((If anyone from TAP or ES has ideas for more things to talk about here let me know. I do have five or six ideas lined up here already that I just have to write.))


DIPLOMACY WORLD CUP TOURNAMENT IS ONGOING - YOU CAN STILL JOIN!
This is the latest incarnation of this team based tournament. I am helping to lead the Nor'Easter team for people in the Northeast part of the United States. https://www.facebook.com/groups/123795024327261/ is the Facebook page for the event.
And you can sign up for the Tournament at: http://aqmn.asciiking.com/. Other US regional teams are the ones in the Pacific, Dixie, and Chicago. Its unique aspect, that continues to be distorting, but in interesting ways, is its "solo only" feature. You advance from the preliminaries to the finals only by soloing, and then need solos in the finals against the other soloists. Though this started last January, it probably will be going on for at least another year, the finals are starting now. The rules for the finals have been tweaked and the finals are now starting, everyone has been queried. But you also still can join the qualifiers, openings are there now!!! Word is we may cancel them, I think the finals should reignite interest. We also are picking up some discussion for a successor Diplomacy World Cup. I think we all realize that this interesting experiment has not been completely successful. I recently was elected to the Council for DWC IV, so if anyone has any ideas about where this idea should go to reinvigorate it, please let me know!


THE ABYSSINIAN PRINCE LETTERS SECTION
Help me out by sending something!


THE ABYSSINIAN PRINCE GAMES SECTION
I am continuing to note cut or failed support orders with a small "s" instead of a capital "S". This will make it easier on the E-Mailed version of the szine to see what happened, since the italics don't show there. The italics DO show on the web page just fine. Since I'm not postal mailing the szine any more, I've dropped back to just reporting the disguised E-Mail addresses. As someone notes, if you need some more contact information, go back to past issues or ask me.
Standby lists:
Dick Martin, Brad Wilson, Jack McHugh, Steve Emmert, Vince Lutterbie, Paul Rauterberg, Doug Kent, Heath Gardner, Paul Kenny, and Hugh Polley stand by for regular Diplomacy. I've pared down the standby list according to who I'm actually in touch with. If I removed you and you want to be added back, just say so. Otherwise, just let me know if you want on or off these lists, especially OFF given the new policies.


GAME OPENING INFORMATION
I'm going to start the game opening list over. Under the new regime, who wants to play what?
SPY DIPLOMACY: Heath Gardner (not sure if that is still active), need at least six more.
REGULAR DIPLOMACY: need seven for another game start.

(GM-VIENNA): I have to agree that the empirical evidence suggests you're going to have to work pretty hard to turn this around...

Game Notes:
1) The concession to England fails, we play on. It was a little unclear if the Concession to England was reproposed or not. Feel free to vote for concession and if I get that from everyone, I'll take it.
2) As usual, we have Summer, but feel free to submit Fall orders and we can continue at the next deadline.


Press:
(RUSSIA –- ENGLAND AND AUSTRIA): I keep forgetting which one of you I am supposed to toady to. If you’d bother to write I would remember.
(AUSTRIA to ALL): It was a brilliant move on England's part to wait until France was ripe for the pickings and Russia was beaten down rather than stabbing too early. It was a good thing he didn't listen to me. No wonder he has so many SCs! I definitely vote in favor of a concession to him. Please join me.
