It has been almost 3 years since my first Diplomacy game ever. The game occurred on the FB Diplomacy server, where I joined after watching my cousin play a game. I started my first game, knowing absolutely nothing about what I was doing, figuring I'd just wing it. I did some reading on the forums and noticed everyone hated drawing Austria, saying it was hard to play as... naturally, I ended up with Austria. My cousin joined my game, and ended up as Russia. he then preceded to try to "teach" me by basically telling me what to do... Anyone here who knows my play style knows I don't like being pushed around, and will usually rebel. So I did. I fought long and hard to eliminate my dear cousin from the game. It finally succeeded. His last words to me in the game were that I would regret attacking him, because I would soon be eliminated. I then went on to win the game. Since that game, Austria has always been my favorite to play as. nearing my 3-year anniversary of the beginning of my favorite hobby, I would like to get back to basics and play a classic game, with a few minor ground rules...


For those who stuck through the post, or for those that this was tl;dr, This is what I want:
6 players, RR >90%
Players who won't just give up when they are down. play till the death.
Players who won't drag out retreats/builds when they only have 1 option or it is their last unit that will have to be disbanded anyways.
Players who will TALK. I do not want players that won't even bother responding to a message. I'd rather get a straight up No to an offer than to never hear anything at all.

So who will play with me?!
