Hello all,
There are two games looking for players over at www.diplomaticcorp.com they are:
1. Chaos variant - has 11 players and needs 23 more. PLEASE! Do NOT let the
numbers fool you, this is a GREAT variant. Each player starts with ONE supply center
and must negotiate with others to acquire centers and build their dot count. Once this
variant gets off the ground it is a whole lot of fun!
2. Shift Left Variant. This is another COOL variant. I will be the GM for this game
and it is in need of 7 players. The game plays the same as regular Diplomacy with
the ONLY exception being that you start in someone ELSES supply centers. So:
France starts in Russsia
Russia starts in Italy
Italy starts in England
Germany starts in Turkey
Austria starts in France
Turkey starts in Germany
England starts in Austria
This one is a lot of fun as well. You need to get to YOUR home dots in order to build.
If you are new to DC you simply go to the site and on the left is a login section, just below
that is a link to sign up. Click that, click NEW USER and then you will see this:

Fill it out and you are in. It rarely gets any easier than that folks. This is a growing
site that has many games going. I like playing here on Cat23 as well but after trying
to get a game going for over four months I have more or less given up on new games
here for at least the short term. Diplomatic Corp is growing and starting games at a
decent clip and if you do not like the variants there are standard games you can join
as well.
Come find out what you have been missing!!!
