I too approve of this method of Walhen

Approval is also a thing I approve of.

And also yay
I get to play
I shall now say
Hip-hip hooray
I get to play
In games today.



Yay.

I play anything.

I haven't been finding much time to be on the forum recently, so I'm not going to play.

That is likely a good thing. There appears to be more 8-player Diplomacy variants than 9-player ones. (Assuming that everyone else plays.)

No worries.

Oh, no, I'm good, I think one (half) experience of Diplomacy was plenty.
Just. All that psychological damage. I can never trust again.

Bump

Soory, not everyone had replied, and I feel bad for mentioning (@HannahB @xXTheHydraXx @Wintermoot)

Current players: Gerrick, tau, BSR, Elbbsas, and North.

Let's give them three days to reply yes or no, then we'll decide on a map regardless.

Sorry for the late response I'm in!

ALL IN BABY, MAKE IT RAAAAAAIN!

ALL IN BABY, MAKE IT RAAAAAAIN!

I meant the people who I just mentioned, but I appreciate your enthusiasm

Alright, it has been 3 days, and we have 6 players. I'll give 3 maps to choose from, listed in order of their popularity on vDiplomacy, which is the site we'll be using. You can read descriptions and special rules at the bottom of each page.

1. Classic - 6 Player: a modified version of the Classic WW1 map where all but Italy are used. (Italy is often viewed as the weakest country, so in 6-player games, it may be just completely removed.)

2. Greek Diplomacy: a map set in Ancient Greece where players start with a single capital city as well as a bid at the beginning to select their other starting regions.

3. Anarchy in the UK: a map with no special rules set in a fictional dystopian future where the UK falls into anarchy and splits into 6 factions.

I'll create a poll and allow 2 votes per person. Please only vote if you are one of the 6 people that will be playing.

I suggest that if we go with Classic, it might be a good idea to not use vDiplomacy. The main feature of vDiplomacy is all the variants it has, and according to one of the vDiplomacy admins the site can be rather buggy.

Looks like Classic wins.

Unfortunately, Backstabbr only seems to allow the Classic 7-player game, and webDiplomacy and PlayDiplomacy have no 6-player map variants. We could try creating a dummy account to fill the last spot, but I'm not sure if you get to choose which country you play as, so the dummy account might end up getting a country other than Italy.
