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).

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.

If I were in Japan over the New Year, I'd rather go to Mt. Midoriyama than Fuji. Go watch Ninja Warrior in person.

As for equipment, unless mountain climbing is the purpose of your trip, then you're probably better served by renting needed equipment there than by packing a bunch of stuff you may not even need. As long as you've got you basic cold-weather gear, and maybe some line, I don't see why you'd necessarily need to bring more than an axe.

"I went to Target today for some headphones with a mic attachment for my keyboard and they didn't have any, so I went to Best Buy instead and found a pair I liked for around $220. I pulled out my phone and did a quick google search and found the same pair new on Amazon for $131 plus shipping (which was $9-ish), so I completely screwed Best Buy today. That's what I usually do - find something I like in a store, test it out, try it on or whatever, and then buy online."
