Done, berenguel. Working on writing the rules now, and when we get five more I'll make a passworded game.
Trim, crypto-press is a variant I thought up where you post your orders in public chat in encrypted form.
As for named openings, we're going by diplom.org's database. In the no named version, you can't use anything already a part of the database. In the nonstandard version, you can use, for example, the Alpine Hedgehog (a named variant of a named opening, but with no description) or any other of Richard Sharp's let's-name-every-conceivable-opening creations, but still not, for example, the Bohemia Aberration, because that has a record of being used.
As for Turkey, I'd use A Con-Bul, F Ank-Con, A Smy-Syr. It's technically a desert rat, but fuck that, it doesn't come up under the name and who in hell would do it?
The alternative is A Con-Bul, F Ank-Bla, A Smy-Ank. Again, technically a Slingshot Juggernaut, but it's gunboat, that would be pretty fucking hard to plan. Doesn't count.
