Anyone played it before using a "judge" server?
I've been roped into a game by a friend - http://www.floc.net/observer.py?judge=USAK&game=svejk&page=game
It's a really good system. You send commands by email to the server which does the hard part of adjudicating the moves.
I usually have a game going with www.lordsofconquest.com. One of their games is 'Mediaeval Diplomacy'.

I must say, the few times I have tried playing diplomacy OTB the thing that was most difficult was resolving the moves - so quite nice that the server does this automatically.

The genius of diplomacy (for those who are fans) is that the rules themselves are so simple - you just have 1 army/fleet for every supply centre held, and every turn a choice of MOVE/CONVOY/SUPPORT/HOLD for each of them.
There's nothing else - no currency / garrisons / buildings / storage etc. And conflicts are resolved by simple maths (Wales attacks London, supported by Yorkshire ... 2 > 1 therefore the attack succeeds).
The devil is in the diplomacy!
