To that end, I'm going to be starting two games, one for each of the two new variants, "Fall of the American Empire" and "Modern Diplomacy". Both are 10-player maps, and use classic Diplomacy rules with one notable exception. The Modern map does not have home centers, meaning units can be built in any empty supply center you control.
While each game needs 10 players, they need not be the same 10. I plan on playing in both, but people are welcome to just sign up for one or the other.
I am looking for experienced, high GR players, who need not have played these two variants before (I certainly haven't). As such, sign-ups are not necessarily first-come, first-serve. That being said, new or low GR players are welcome to make a case for their inclusion. After all, at least some of you are eventually going to rise to the top!
