I'm writing a magazine feature on Diplomacy
... and other political boardgames, actually. Can anyone suggest any others? Offer any wise words about which are best, why some work better than others, etc? Any help/comments much appreciated...
(It's for a British magazine called Total Politics)

What is your typical Diplomacy player?
So I was wondering, is there any major trends in what kind of people play Diplomacy?
I'm off the Assumption that the vast majority are guys, relatively Nerdy, but in a vast range of ages. I could be massively wrong but that's what I've always thought when considering the player base.
Are there any previous threads or data already collected about this sort of thing, and am I breaking any rules by inquiring :P

I joined when I was 18. Back then, games would start whether or not 7 players had joined, there was no such thing as wta, or anon, or gunboat, or pauses, or draws, or variants. I'm not entirely sure that convoys worked correctly either (you had to order the army into the ocean or something).

@ Tru Ninja: "@jamiet: what does "mostly heterosexual" mean?"

Perfectly reasonable question. It means that I am bisexual, but go for women *most* of the time. I'm attracted to women far more often than I'm attracted to men, but I am occasionally attracted to certain men.

Hope that makes sense.
Tru Ninja (1016 D(S))
06 Nov 14 UTC
That does make sense, thanks JT. Is there a certain type of guy you're interested in? If so, I might suggest my brother-in-law Code Bomb. He's got nipples that register "off the charts", from what I understand. I'll be happy to send u a pic of em.

That's messed up. Just because they are pierced does NOT mean they are off the charts.

Why do you have pictures of my nipples anyway?

@ Tru_Ninja: I have to say, the nipples don't tend to be the *first* thing I notice that attracts me to a person. Partly, this is because I mostly socialise in places where people wear clothes.

You must go to more interesting night-clubs than I do.

High Quality Variant Invitational
So, I'm taking a break from taking a break from this site, and want to play a few games.

I've noticed that we have two new variant maps, which I'm sure people put a lot of time and effort into making! Alas, variant maps rarely seem to get high-quality players, but I'd like to try them and I'd like to change that.
