Wait, so vDiplomacy allows a 6-player Classic variant, but others don't?

That appears to be correct. The variant on vDiplomacy allows the game creator to choose the countries that will play in the game, so I'd just choose the 6 countries besides Italy.

But I like Italy....

Unfortunately, in this variant you cannot choose which country you want as it messes with the code to allow only the countries listed in the game title to be created in the game. We can allow Italy (and decide which country to remove instead), but you'd only have a 1 in 6 chance to get it, so someone else would probably get stuck with it.

And it's just this variant in which you cannot select your country, so you'd be able to select the one you want in any other variant.

Does that mean we cannot use the Classic variant then? Shall we do a re-vote (possibly with more 6-player variants)?

Sorry, I meant each person cannot choose which country they want to play as. I am able to choose which 6 countries are available to play as when I set the game up, but the countries will be randomly assigned to each player. That's for the 6 player classic map.

Sounds good to me. Considering none of us have experience with Diplomacy, I doubt that's much of a drawback, though others may think otherwise.

Yeah, I had just said that because North said he wanted to be Italy. But as he can't choose to be them, we're going to play without them.

I'll try to get the game up tomorrow.

Alright, everyone, I know it's been a long time coming, so let's try to get this game started. I created the game located here (called Wintreath). You'll have to create a vDiplomacy account first, but it's easy. I'm not 100% sure how you actually join the game, so let me know if you have any issues. The password to join is "potato".

No problems on my end. The layout is a bit confusing, but that's probably because the game hasn't started yet.

Yeah, I think after we've all joined then it'll assign our countries.

Im making an account

Im in

I'm in!

I was wondering why I couldn't join. Then I realized that I typed in "potatoe."
