Diplomacy
Diplomacy (Board Game)
History
Diplomacy is a strategy based board game that takes place in 1900 Europe. The game has been played for years at many campusus but truly came to fruition at Texas 2011 Term II. It became such a popular free time activity that sevreal people considered making it the official board game of Duke Tip. The game occupied so much time of tipsters days that it was considered to actually decrease the chance of a TIP Baby --Tipdogg 01:08, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
In addition, the RC/RHL Geoff Toy, who learned to play Diplomacy at TIP all the way back in 2001, has brought a copy and taught students to play every term he has worked for TIP. In fact, playing Diplomacy with TIP students is one of the things he looks forward to most about working at TIP, and he fully supports Diplomacy being the official board game of TIP.
Note-Worthy Players
Most of the players of Diplomacy played in the room of Google (who passed his name down to Jacob after his fourth year and is now Google plus), he was the one who more or less introduced the entire brocean and boothangs to the amazing game.
Also Charlie Hutto who notonly was a master player but also recruited the orignal players to the game (to witch he did not particpat the entire first round) and theoretically started the craze. Richer Denmark was also an amazing player and tried capturing Denmark the first move for some reason.
