What is “FTF” Diplomacy?
“FTF” stands for “Face-to-Face” and refers to games played by a group of people who are physically in the same location. Usually the term “FTF” is used to distinguish a game played “in- person” from games played by mail (“postal” Diplomacy) or over the Internet (“PBEM” Diplomacy). Of course Face-to-Face is the way Diplomacy was meant to be played – looking your opponent straight in the eye as you tell them one whopper after another. Some find it exhausting, some stressful – but most agree it is a far more intense experience than playing by email or by post. 15. How can I find other people to play Diplomacy with Face-to-Face?
