Backstabbr: A modern web interface for the classic board game Diplomacy

Well, this looks fun. I'd like to play and I like the idea of playing with turns every week or so, but nobody I know would really be bothered with this.

Where would someone find a committed group to play with?

In the ArsTechnica forums, under the gaming heading, there is a group that plays every now and then. I have gotten in on 3 of the games, and it is exquisitely diabolical.

I am curious if in person games have as much backstabbing in them as play by email sessions, as I always tend to get screwed over and over again by shady dealings of other powers.

Short answer: yes. I've never played a game without a healthy level of backstabbing. I suppose that's where the OP got the name...

I'm not sure but I'd like to join in so we've got 2 people at least.
