I'll play. What variant? Standard?
If anyone wants to play then I'm willing to judge. I'd like to have a fast paced game (short deadlines) which is story driven; meaning you'd all submit in character press reports after each move or build and I will try to make each seasons move announcements more interesting then just a list of orders and their results. Lastly if anyone wants to submit Grey press (that is anonymous press) then just send it to me and I, as judge, will post it for you.
If you’d like to play then submit your name and preferences here.

You provide no source. You PROVIDE NOTHING! And yet you want to destroy capitalism.. you criminal..." - Fez

Up to you guys since your playing. All of my experience is with standard.

i'd be up for anything, really. If Standard is too dull, we could try Colonial

I'm up for colonial!
So far we have two players and a judge. I didn't think it would be so hard to find players for a game of dip.

well, at Poly it's very tough...i'm surprised we could get two games going so easily.

I'll play. I'm not that fussed about colonial though...

I would like to try some other than standard too. That is if you are willing to play with a n00b like me.

I'd consider playing as long as me not being able to be online much at all on the weekends is OK.
I really like Diplomacy Royale personally, but its a bit of pain to GM.

sorry Stefu, your map seems like a good idea so far...but it's not playtested and it's not very accurate for the times.
I'd rather play an easy variant to save disecting it for strategy

Well, playtest it thenbut it's not playtested
And it continues to be alternate history, so accuracy is not an issue.

I like Stefu's map. Just needs a touch more fine-tuning before we play it.

The original colonial map looks most intresting to me

well the colonial map isn't too balanced, Turkey and France get the shaft pretty hard...

France? Is there another colonial map than the one with asian nations turkey,japan,china,russia,india,indonesia?,vietnam ?

Vietnam is french ruled.
As orange said, it needs playtesting.I like Stefu's map. Just needs a touch more fine-tuning before we play it.
WELL IT WON'T FRIGGIN' GET PLAYTESTED IF IT ISN'T PLAYED SO PLAY IT!

If you want to play a variant that isn't my map, then might I recommend South East Asia III? I mean, it sure looks purty.

I've actually never played a varient and the standard map is the only one I am familiar with.

you're the GM so its your call I guess
Standard is OK but I'd really really like to give either 1900 or Stefu's map a shot some time:

Its based on standard but rebalanced a bit and some north african colonies are added to increase interaction and options.
Hmmmm, Stefu's might be best since it has six powers (after Quebec being cut) and we have six people signed up.
The only other decent-looking six player variant I was able to find is a similar vaguely Civil War one here:
http://www.ralgames.com/WINA/main.html
which has USA, CSA, Texas, Mexico, Canada and Native Americans as powers.

Hmmm, I'd be inclined to do a standard game but then we'd need one more player.
