I've been interested in trying mastering, so if you're willing to put up with a novice master, I'll start a game. I'm also a fan of standard games with pretty basic rules, so that's what I would do, initially at least.

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 T Yahoo!
