Who? Well, I guess that needs a spot of explanation. Allan B. Calhamer invented the game Diplomacy, which I expect some of you to have heard about it. I played it a lot in the past - both face to face and postally. In fact it's one of the few bard games that can be payed by post successfully.

My set pretty much disintegrated. It was played a lot, and taken places for games and meets during the 1980s.

Oh wow.
We used to play Diplomacy during my college years.
Or, rather, a bunch of us would gather at a friends house, drink some beer, swear up and down we'd support each other's endeavours before turning on each other as soon as it was advantageous.
I won a lot.
