Time to play Diplomacy again!
At the start of the last game, I promised to host the next Diplomacy game and to guarantee Walrein a spot in it. During the game, Unclesam discussed possible variants with me. As part of signups, tell what sort of variant you'd like to play, or if you want to play vanilla, say that as well. I'm open for any and all variants like alternate maps or win conditions (like team games or joint wins/alliances).
Some options:
- Milan
- Winter 1900 (pick your own starting units)
- Alliances as per Walrein's Westeros map (or an improved version)
Houserules should be discussed here as well, I'm open for anything and the rulings can be changed even mid-game if all players agree. What I propose is:
- 72h S1901 deadline and then after 48h deadlines.
- NO_DIAS enforced.
- If a player idles, then anyone can sub in their place by sending in actions, including the original player, except other players (original player has priority).
Do you disagree? Something missing? Let's use Walrein's #thegame as this game's channel, because Walrein is nice and #thegame is already the de facto Diplomacy channel. After we have 7 signups, we'll agree on the play mode and rules. If there'll be more than 7 players, I'll randomize those who get in.
Signups:
- Walrein
- Unclesam
- Stratos

3) host sends in credible orders for the nmr'd party
subbing out:
1) no subbing out ever allowed ---> subbing out=perpetual NMR
2) players vote if the game should be frozen on a subbing out till a sub is found, on a negative result subbing out=perpetual NMR
3) something else? AG(time-delay)
4) sub out -> units move to defend closest sc's with priority on home sc's, remaining players vote on whether a sub in should happen US, Stratos, Drawesome, Kiritsugu
meta-houserules:
1) these voted houserules cannot be changed after the game starts by any means
2) if all surviving players agree, the rules may be changed or temporarily not enforced Kiritsugu
3) same as above but with supermajority instead of everyone Walrein, Drawesome, AG
