There’s been an idea I’ve been toying around with for a few weeks now: how would you like to play a game with me and members of the SapphireFoxx community? There are several good games that come to mind, like Minecraft or Team Fortress 2, but let’s start off with something simple.
There’s a board game I used to play years ago called Diplomacy. It’s like Risk but better in my opinion. It’s a game all about forming alliances with other players, backstabbing, and strategy. I’ve found a website that let’s you play Diplomacy online for free. All you need to do to play is create a free account there. If you’ve never play Diplomacy, here’s a useful video.
I’ve created 3 games to start with that will only be accessible to people that read this. You can find my games on this page. To join any of my games, use the password: foxx
Please only join one game at a time so that other people can play! If games fill up quickly, I’ll create more. Games don’t start until seven people have signed up for it. You have 24 hours to set your moves for each round and to message other players. Build rounds are easier and quicker, so those last for 12 hours. If this all goes smoothly, I’ll look into playing other games with everyone.
Good luck to everyone who signs up! The game can get a little nasty when the backstabbing starts, so please don’t hold a grudge against a fellow community member. =)
For Minecraft you could also look into http://www.enjin.com/ a few i have seen use this one.
minevraft servers can bring in alot of money if done correctly. you gotta have alot of stuff though. and moderators, do not forget moderators and admins
I´d love to play diplomacy but there´s a problem xD I´m half german and if I play and win then I´ll be called a fucking nazi xDD but i would look forward if u can bring up a minecraft server ^^
Then don’t tell anyone 😉 ….Or just play as France.
As an update, I’m now looking into getting a Minecraft server. I’ll have more information soon! ^.^
Will it be modded or plain vanilla?
I might a some mod that prevents griefing. Other than that, it will be vanilla to start off with.
that would be a plug-in
Ah man, don’t have minecraft. XD
How do you not? It’s like the best game of all time? XD
X3 Can’t afford it lol
It’s not. That’s System Shock 2 LOL
I don’t have it either. Saw it on a friend’s PC, but never saw the fun part of it…
I would love to play on a server again. Had a server with a friend of my. But because some of the people loved to ruin your place with obsidian snowmans
If you want to start up a Minecraft server i can help you a lot, i know perfectly how to make a server bukkit or the normal server with hamachi
I found something called HaydzSolutions that seems to be what I’m looking for in a server. You can let me know what you think of what they offer:

Okay this server pages seems okay for a small server, but wich plan where you thinking about ?
I’ll make a post in a few days where I ask how many people want to participle. As for Bukkit, I’m not 100% sure what it does, but it sounds useful to have.
Is like the “operating system” of the server bukkit is the most famous and useful, if you use bukit, you can easily install “plugins” wich are the mods for bukkit there are a LOT of plugins you can easily find them in
http://plugins.bukkit.org/
If you need help you send me a message 🙂
And will you use bukkit ?
I would love to see that! Make it 1.6.4 because 1.7 has some bugs:) Also, I can’t update to 1.7 because my computer is fucked up:)
I’m loving 1.7 and exploring all the new biomes. I haven’t seen any bugs.
Its okay:) Could you maybe do a minecraft TG? Just a thought. That would be a cool treat for the members that have been around for a long time but havn’t gotten the time to pay.
Yeah, not a fan of Diplomacy. I played it a few times on the website you linked, and although I won every game I played as a solo victory the game was toxic to me. I was in a low point in my life, as members of the TG community sometimes are. I was looking for friends and so I wanted to win team victories. However, even though it was my goal to have a team victory, my allies in every game I played back-stabbed me. Despite their back stabbing I was still able to win. But those wins were… Read more »
if you only playing diplomacy (im terrible at it) i think ill pass but if you decide on other games then ill decide on a game by game basis.
Its not that i don’t like playing against others i just can learn “diplomatic” games.
I would be willing to play minecraft, team fortress 2 and quite a lot of others just not diplomacy. ^^”
Sorry auto correct error
Its not that i don’t like playing against others i just can not learn “diplomatic” games.
I love how you described Diplomacy as “simple”, Foxx. =P
It’s probably the most complex board game out there.
I’m ready for the battle, i will train TO WIN !!! 🙂
