Perhaps we could create webmail accounts as and when needed.

Sounds good to me.  I've never played Diplomacy, but always wanted to. 
No doubt I'll be thoroughly drubbed until I get to know the strategic
values of places, but that will build character.  (Or I could be a
seasoned player and unscrupulous liar.)

Another interesting psychological game is "Are You A Werewolf?"
(www.wunderland.com/LooneyLabs/Werewolf/Index.html), but that may lose
some of its emotional force when played online.  And a few months ago
someone mentioned Zendo (www.wunderland.com/WTS/Kory/Games/Zendo/),
which I think could make an excellent subgame, if our koans are
literal, literary koans.
