I can never find and classic games of diplomacy on here, is anyone else having the same issue?

It happens sometimes when there are tournaments going on, or when variants spike in popularity.

If you want to get a game going, shoot me a message - I'll join. And I could probably get enough to fill up a game.

I almost exclusively get into games through the forum. The players are often better and more reliable.

Yeah. I even posted a classic game recently and there was not enough players for it to start. So demand for classic games in low at the moment. I see tournament and chaos the likely culprits.

I say we remove the bad variants like world and american empire now that chaos fulfills the niche of a many player map. That should free up some more players for classic. Or at least classic chaos.

World is my favorite variant and it's clear that a lot feel the same way. There's a small but loyal fanbase there.

Although I don't have anything against Empire4, it's clear that Modern > Empire. But I don't think that removing variants is the right strategy here. I'm in a game of each and playing World does not discourage me from taking up three chaos games.
