Internet Judge Game Queues
Using this page, you can either sign up to get on a queue to play a
specific type of game using one of the Internet judges, or create
such a game (becoming its GameMaster) to be filled with players taken
from the top of the queue. You can also get on a list of GameMasters,
to be notified when your turn comes up to GM a game for players in a
queue. Do NOT use this mechanism to create a private
game - please contact the queue owner privately below if you wish this.

Attention Newbies!
Please do not sign on to the newbie queue until you are familiar
with the basics of PBEM judge Diplomacy. The best place for
information for beginners is the "Getting Started"
page in the Pouch's Online Resources section, and the first thing you
should read is the Newbies'
Guide to the Judge.
Internationalization!
If you would like to see a queue system for non-English games, and are
prepared to help translate and run it, please contact The Pouch.

More Information
The queues currently being maintained were chosen to represent the
fastest-filling games. The game queues are meant to mitigate the
problems experienced by people who wish to get into these high-demand
games, but whose timezone or newsfeed prevents their knowing about the
game formation until after the game is full.
Here is complete information on the games for which queues are being
maintained:
- STANDARD. Standard Diplomacy for experienced judge
players only, white press, DIAS, NoNMR, 72 hour
move deadlines, 48 hour retreat/adjustment deadlines, orders due only on
weekdays.
- NOVICE. Standard Diplomacy for newbies only, white/grey
press, DIAS, NoNMR, 72 hour move deadlines, 48 hour

- REPLACEMENT. Players in this queue will be contacted by GameMasters
of any type of normal Diplomacy game
to request that the player
take over an abandoned position. GameMasters in this situation should
use the "I would like to get more players for" option, and select the
replacement queue.
You may sign up for more than one queue, but if you sign up for a given
queue more than once, your earlier sign-up will be deleted and you will be
put only at the end of the line. Also, only sign up for
a queue if you are commiting to play when your turn comes up.
Otherwise, you will only delay gamestarts by not signing on when your
name comes up.
If you have any problems with the queues, or if you need to have yourself
removed from a queue for any reason, or if you have a change of address that
should be reflected in a queue, contact
The Pouch.
