I'm writing a magazine feature on Diplomacy
... and other political boardgames, actually. Can anyone suggest any others? Offer any wise words about which are best, why some work better than others, etc? Any help/comments much appreciated...

What is your typical Diplomacy player?
So I was wondering, is there any major trends in what kind of people play Diplomacy?
I'm off the Assumption that the vast majority are guys, relatively Nerdy, but in a vast range of ages. I could be massively wrong but that's what I've always thought when considering the player base.
Are there any previous threads or data already collected about this sort of thing, and am I breaking any rules by inquiring :P

High Quality Variant Invitational
So, I'm taking a break from taking a break from this site, and want to play a few games.

I've noticed that we have two new variant maps, which I'm sure people put a lot of time and effort into making! Alas, variant maps rarely seem to get high-quality players, but I'd like to try them and I'd like to change that.

Tasnica (3366 D)
20 Oct 14 UTC
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!
Tasnica (3366 D)
20 Oct 14 UTC
For rules... I'm leaning toward Full Press, Anon, WTA, 100p, 48h. I prefer the longer turns because many if not all of us will be learning the maps, and it gives more time to communicate with the high number of players.

Tasnica (3366 D)

GR 371? That's not too bad, and I see you've played in a variety of different game types.

Are there any games you're particularly proud of? I'd be willing to take a look at them.

Damn, I really wanted to join one of these (I tried to create one a little while ago but it fizzled). I'll be without internet access from Thursday until approximately November 7th. If you want to start one of them early/mid November I'd definitely be in. Preferably America but I've never played either.

My GR is pretty low currently, but if you need another player, I'm interested in the FoAE variant.
Tasnica (3366 D)
21 Oct 14 UTC
I've added everyone within the top 200 GR. Yonni and Lando are both fantastic players, so I'm fine delaying the America game until the second week of November. The Modern game will start once we have ten.

ThatCrazyGuy, are there any games you're particularly proud of that you'd like to showcase? If there's room for low GR players, I'll be looking into what they've managed to achieve so far.

I'd be interested in playing in the America game in particular, since I've never played that variant and the start time is better for my schedule.

Can I get in on the America game? I have a couple of big draws on that map that I'm rather proud of.
I've soloed on the Modern one, if that helps my case getting into either.

Done. Unless someone drops out, the America game is now locked in. I'll create the game around Halloween with a 10-day setup time, and Yonni and Lando can join as they become free, with the game starting once everyone is ready.
