mid/late game variants
I have a rather simple idea for a new kind of variant.

It would be based on another game (where we know what happened) and the victory conditions would be changed so survival would be the best one country might hope for, while anything less than a solo would be a loss for the leader.... does this make sense?

Meme Game
I came up with an idea for a Meme Game. Two, actually. In one, all press would be conducted by posting links to Memes. The one I'd rather play would be a variant of Extreme Personalities. Each player would act like a meme character. Anyone interested?

Given the exceedingly long nature of this tournament, the players we had as spares in February are either now in the tournament or have left the site. We need more spares! Anyone interested/willing?

The largest land grab...
So I'm wondering... what's the biggest land grab you folks have ever done in one year in order to secure a solo win? I just pulled off a 10 sc snag and I know there have to have been bigger ones, and I'd love to hear about them/see links to the games.

Teams would be?
hmm do you want to have things go according to history?
Catch23 (884 D)
17 May 12 UTC
hmm.... havent put alot of thought into this so please make as many changes as youd want
4 teams:
1: England, France
2: Italy Spain
3. Germany, Poland
4: Turkey and Russia

I dont nessarly think those are the best teams possible, just picked by a glance at the map
I've never done a team game before, but I'd be up for this, if the turns were 2 days or so, depending on the map.

I'm keen for a team game. It's a pity that the fairness on these sites mostly means you never got to play with your friends. Thoughts:
- You get 3 D if you win and 2 D if a team-member wins, to encourage a /little/ rivalry within the winning team. [of course these would have to be ephemeral points not actual D's or anything]
- I'd vote for fewer total players (less chance of RMA nonsense) and I do think the classic map is cleverly balanced (yeah I do realise I'm on a variants site). What about a 3 vs 3 with one country left as plunder? Or a 2 vs 2 vs 3, with the 3 being weaker countries (italy, austria, and... england? vs FG vs Juggernaut?)

But failing the classic map, familiar geography (like modern/1939) would be good (specially on webdip software where you have to scroll through long lists of territories in apparently completely random order)

How about a Modern map with teams for WW2? Previously I had one but then it somehow was cancelled so I would like to do it again:
a) Russia, Ukraine, Turkey
b) Britain, France, Egypt
c) Germany, Italy, Poland

Not too sure about Spain though ...

Spain really would only have one choice.
Catch23 (884 D)
19 May 12 UTC
No, they could Join with Italy's alliance to take the med, or with the French alliance to have a secure land area. or even the Turkish alliance, and have Russia and Ukraine draw attention up north while Spain and Turkey go for the med..... or any several other reasons or plans for each decision
It may not be good for Spain to be a free nation, partly because it's at a corner position, and partly because of Gibraltar being British but so close to Spanish centres ...

So I'd prefer if Spain join the Axis.
WW2 teams should be Russia/Ukraine, Britain/France/Egypt/Poland, Germany/Italy/Spain, with Turkey as a wildcard, if you're looking for historical accuracy. I think that would be fairly balanced, as well - Soviets and Axis are pretty close strength-wise, Allies have the numbers advantage but are in an extremely vulnerable position with France and Poland set up for an Axis+Soviet partition. Turkey should be free to switch sides as it chooses. I think that would be a very interesting game.

agreed, but will the the teams be allowed to ally aginst the other team or not?

adalephat (733 D)

I'd like to play as well. 2 days for phases?
I think we don't need anon, and yea, 2 days will do.

But I got a slight problem here - I'll have no internet access from 25th to 28th May ... so should we start the game and then call for a pause on 25th, or do you guys mind waiting for me and start the game on 29th?
headward7 (981 D)

Good point about the Allies' strength in numbers being countered by the handicap of a vulnerable player or two.

...But whoever's playing Poland might not appreciate that level of historical accuracy.
adalephat (733 D)
20 May 12 UTC
So the countries should be distributed randomly, this risk is acceptable.
About the pause: witha 2-day phase, why not extend? But we shall wait for you indeed.

how long will the phase be when it's extended?

there are 8 spots open, join by all means!
But the joining phase ends in one day or so ... so unless we can pause on 24th I think I can't join ...

Coder Needed!
I recently recommended a variant be added, the shift variant, in the lab here; http://lab.vdiplomacy.com/forum.php?threadID=276#276
Oli replied, saying that it wouldn't be too hard to code but he didn't really have the time to do it at the moment, so I would need to find someone else to do it.
If anyone else who knows how to code a variant wants to do it, please PM me or post on the lab thread and I'll send you details!
