Actually Justin Thyme has been doing these games for years with our player teams at conventions, but without computers. On Tue, 22 Sep 1998 BillR54619@aol.com wrote:

Hasbeen Interactive announces its new, Java-enabled, interactive WWW gaming experience, BILLOMACY. "Billomacy" extends the concepts pioneered in the classic TAHGC game, DIPLOMACY, placing you in a virtual social computing world full of sovereign, petty, and touchy players. How many of them can YOU piss off, and still stay in the game ? For the goal of BILLOMACY is not to win, but to keep the game going for as long as you can. Chat and email functions allow you to communicate with the other players almost instantaneously, to plot your vast right wing conspiracies, or to indulge in hurling anathemas in the form of press releases. The possibilities are endless !! Each game lasts as long as you want to keep playing, from just one evening, or until kingdom come. BILLOMACY supports an infinite number of strategies and playing styles, from the passive-aggressive "Kaiser Wilhelm" mode to the sneaky, unprincipled, "Guilliame Talleyrand" mode, not to mention the famous "Wild Bill" cowboy mode, and of course, the ultimate in popularity, "Bill Clinton, Secret Agent Man", which allows you to enter our special "adults only" area for phone sex and other goodies. And for the spiritually inclined, we have included the high toned "Billy Graham" sermonizing option, for a low extra price. BILLOMACY, the favorite interactive game of (who else) Bill Gates, is an experience we think you'll really like !!
