Diplomacy
Not a textbook, Jguk 21:49, 18 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Might be useful as an instruction book for a game. Rename to games/diplomacy or diplomacy (game). Pcu123456789 00:36, 25 May 2006 (UTC)


 * It may be, but Wikibooks does not do instruction books for games, it does textbooks. Maybe there's somewhere else on the web that the text could be moved to, Jguk 07:34, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Dimplomacy has been included as a resource tool for a tertiary course with a module based on negotiations. So perhaps this is educationally based after all.


 * Keep It has not been established that instruction books for games are not textbooks. --Kernigh 17:20, 12 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep as Wikibook stub - This is one of the most studied tactical games in the history of parlour games (aka Chess, Go, and others). It really is a classic for many reasons, even though it does represent more of the genera of modern board wargames.  It is also a game that has a substnatial body of literary content that could be used to create  more "textbook" content, and indeed would be something that I can see used in classroom studies.  This (the game itself) is something that has been used in international relations classes, as well as business classes where you have

to demonstrate how to negotiate effectively to achieve your goals. Efforts have been made to turn it into a computer game, but have usually fallen flat because of the social aspects of the game that are missing as a result. --Rob Horning 11:28, 15 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep - This is a very studied game, and valuable in game design courses. This is one of the few games Chris Crawford makes a case-study of in his book for Game Design. (and he even leaves Chess out of the picture) --Dragontamer 02:20, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep it, for crying out loud!
 * Keep - maybe it is not the best at the current time, but conworlding is a very real hobby - zompist board is one example. But wikibook take time - They don't just happen in a night.

Kept. I'll archive this in about a week or two. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 22:59, 6 July 2006 (UTC)


 * "Keep" - It needs more on strategies, rules, variants, everything. I'll be improving on it, and I've already started. - kwkak37
