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

I had this debate with a friend. He insists my question is too abstract to be solved. I do not believe it is. What does everyone here believe? (and yes, he already showed me that validity doesn't matter to him and Wikipedia agrees with him since he used to be an admin there).

Treaty of Versailles
Discuss the implications of the treaty and it's correlation to modern foreign policy. Are it's effects still being felt today? Does this treaty still impact the past colonies (which would now be known as Ethiopia for Italy, or Indochina for the French) of the agreeing members who signed the treaty?

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.

Yes, and the rec center on campus pays $10, plus I don't need a car or to deal with your untamed beasts you call children. Belltower Books pays $16 plus commission, and all I have to do is steal textbooks and sell them to someone else (JOKING!!!). You're gonna have to up your game.

Your family saves money but you have $80 in your name despite the fact that you claimed you were making $20/hr and not paying any bills, and eat out all the time.

So you go around claiming you have no money but your family jet-sets to Japan. Not dishonest at all.

I didn't say I make $20/hour. I don't have a job. I'm going to look for one next semester. I said what some of the jobs I'm looking at would pay. My family flies in the nice, cozy seats with six inches of leg room right in front of the bathroom - I wouldn't call it first class. If supporting a hobby of mine that my family often takes part in because they get to see cool places and do cool things with me is considered flaunting my wealth, whatever. I really don't give a fuck.

"So my job is to clean up the shit you don't eat and the crap you throw up in the toilet, bring you food that you pay for, and refill your drinks every once in awhile. All in all I probably make $20 an hour on a busy day. And pay no bills. Fuck you all."

" My family flies in the nice, cozy seats with six inches of leg room right in front of the bathroom - I wouldn't call it first class"

Right, cuz the seats in front of the bathroom are somehow cheaper than the other coach seats, so you picked those.

You poor impoverished soul, you don't fly first class to Japan on your annual vacation.

"I really don't give a fuck."

Noted.

I mostly need to know what equipment I need. A lot of guides say that it's not technical even during the winter and that one axe will do but given the conditions I'm wondering if it's better to have all of my gear with me in case I end up needing something, even given the extra weight. It seems like no one can give me a straight answer on that for whatever reason.

No, I put pretty much all of it into my tuition because my parents aren't overly rich, they just saved up from the moment I was born. I'm still using some loans, albeit small ones.
