vDiplomacy World War IV Sealanes

Going to try to do the impossible.

Hello,

Over on vDiplomacy.com, there's a very interesting variant called World War IV Sealanes (http://vdiplomacy.com/variants.php?variantID=95). It requires 35 (!) players and some extreme zoom, but looks like a real gem of a game and I'm eager to try it.

So here's the deal: let's get a game going! The link is posted below. I expect it to take awhile to fill up, but a week should be enough, I think. If you do join, have fun! And if you don't, I suggest you at least check out the variant.

wow. That looks intense, but I'm not sure I'd like it...

I read the rules twice but couldn't comprehend them.

I have to admit I don't have the brainspace and time at the moment to play the vDip variants with non-standard rules. I am hoping one day to play the 34-player Chaos variant over there, where every player starts with one centre each on the classic map. But I fear it's as a forlorn hope as a Sealanes game starting up.

The rules aren't as complicated as they look.

All sea provinces are considered adjacent to:

- their neighbours on board (as per usual)

- anything in the same 'Sea Zone' (Sea Zones have a darker outline, and all provinces in the same seazone have the same name but with 'Northeast', 'Southwest', etc. added to the front of them)

And, finally, the center of the Sea Zone (the square province with no prefix) is adjacent to the center of every Sea Zone around it, and to any land province adjacent to any part of the Sea Zone.

too many SC, every player will quickly have soo many units to deal with they will need a separate person to help manage them.

Especially once a few people start to be eliminated. And with 35? players already... i don't think i'd want to do well at this variant.

Quick question from a beginner.

Is the outcome of this scenario that no one moves or wins a territory?
Unit in territory A supports unit in B to move to C (Player One)
Unit in territory D supports unit in C to move to B (Player Two)
Thanks in advance for any reply to clarify this.
