Anyone interested in an online (email) game of diplomacy?

I don't post too often on the board, but I read it quite regularly.
A lot of the people on here seem like the kind who would play strategy or war games (me included). If people are interested, I'd be willing to moderate a 13-player game of diplomacy. I wouldn't be playing myself, since it's unfair to both moderate and play at the same time.
For people who are unfamiliar with it, the game is like a combination of risk and survivor. Everyone is assigned one country (or "power") and a certain number of supply centres and units to start (armies and fleets). There are two movement seasons to a year, and in each season all of the units are able to move at the same time. The goal of the game is to capture more and more supply centres which allow you to build more units. The person who captures a certain number of supply centres first (generally half of the total number available +1) is the winner.
I can post some links to tutorials and strategy articles later if people are interested.
It's a very simple game that involves long-term strategising, tactics and, above all, negotiation skills.
If people are interested, just send me a PM and I'll tell you how to register for the game. Once we have 13 players, the game will start.
Cheers.
