Call for more games

I don't know where to start with this request, so I'll just spit it 
out and see what happens.

I'd like to play more Diplomacy.  I'm spoiled by Manus' awesome USDP 
interface, so I prefer to play here rather and USOS or USTX or some 
other site where I have to get out my paper maps.  I love filling 
vacancies and picking up other people's messes.

But, I'm a sucker for "normal" variants.  I've just started with 
1900, and that seems ok, but I prefer Standard games or Loeb9 and 
Crowded variants.  The strategy required for Youngstown or some of 
the other weird things (Payola, Xtal) is too much of a departure of 
the standard Diplomacy board game I occasionally play with friends.

I said I'd "like" to play more, because there are just no games to 
play on USDP.  As of this afternoon, there are 4 openings:

Clausewitz: I get an email on this list almost every day telling me 
that players are needed for this Youngstown game

Warisquietlyexpensivehell: Payola, albeit one with a great name

washdc_05: Imperial, what appears to be an even more complicated 
Youngstown variant

washdc_21: Imperial, similar to washdc_05

I know we've just had the big discussion about variants over on the 
other list, and I don't want to re-start that flame war, but...

I guess what I'm asking is: "Will someone please create some regular 
games for normal people to play?"  

I've never GM'd, and I wouldn't be able to play in games I created 
anyway (as far as I understand)...

BTW: I think we'd have more games if USDP was matched up with the 
diplom.org Game Queues (http://www.diplom.org/DP-cgi/setqueue) so 
that I could just go get in line to join a game.

Thanks
