| I would really like a good implementation of A Game of Thrones. The AGOT beta site is officially dead from all accounts I've seen. The only thing is that Fantasy Flight Games seemed to take issue with it. argh! I just never get to play my copy. Frustrating! |

I got to play two games before they shut the site down. It wasn't bad, but it took forever because the players would be emailing each other making deals before each turn. It took a couple of months to complete a game.
The issue FFG had with it is that they wanted to validate that each person who participated in a game on the site actually bought a copy of the game. You really can't do that unless you're DoW and you're implementing your own game (and are able to put in registration cards in the game box). |

Hm, what about WoP/China? This would make an awesome PbM, IMHO.
Or Primordial Soup? |

El Grande and the Ragnar Bros. Kings & Castles (or Vikings Fury) might be good. |
I definitely second Viking Fury as a good one to implement. Another to possiblty consider would be Lost Valley. |

| My votes go for Oasis and Alhambra, both of which are turn-based and require little interaction, but are great games in their own right. |

Maharaja would work well on this site I think, since folks choose their actions at the same time. The only thing that would be a hitch with it is the extra time it takes for character changing.
Another game that would work well would be San Marco, which I haven't seen mentioned. There's no need for interaction and there are few turns per player. |

I definitely would vote for San Marco. I don't get to break it out much at home and it is a very good game. |

After having done a game in the SBW inerface, diplomacy is not a game I would want to tackle. There are a couple of reasons, 1 there are several good sites that handles onlnie diplomacy. 2 afterlooking over the code for the various diplomacy judges, its a nightmare to implement in php. If someone has a good suggestion on another simple wargame I am sure it would get looked at.

| Junta and Diplomacy have the same betrayal interaction at their cores. |

| I'd be much more interested in doing Struggle of Empires than Diplomacy. |

We should get that one on the table sometime soon so I can learn it.

It's now moved up to Beta testing 
They also have Richelieu, and that's it apparently for now. |
