This March, the Weasels will renew our six-year-old fight to restore the month to its orignal pastime. March once was known for the backstab, not basketball, and all month long, we’ll celebrate the stab (probably while watching basketball in many cases) by playing Diplomacy in bars and homes all over the Chicago area. Take a look at the schedule, check your calendars, and sign up. And don’t forget to beware.

I’m in for A Game You Can’t Refuse. And I’m in +1 for Roar Out (Jo Cook is my friend’s name).
I’ll see if I can grab a noob or 2 for March 27th. Maybe get 2 boards?
Two boards would be great. We can put new and less experienced players on one of them.
I’ll sign up for A Game You Can’t Refuse.
Let me know if you need any alternates for March 23…it is time to unleash Whitten on the world.
Folks, we have two people — Ben DiPaola and Mike Whitty — who say they’ll play on Wednesday if we can get to 14. Who else is in?
