Sure. Sounds like fun.
Most of the variations need more players, and we seem to have problems recruiting more. The Ancient Med only needs 5 players, and doesn’t seem to have the problem of one country being totally screwed right from the start like Italy does in the regular game.
That looks like a fun map. Is global chat open in gunboat games?
No, there’s no chat at all. I think there’s an option for using only the global chat, though, which isn’t strictly “Gunboat Diplomacy”. We could try that if people are so inclined.
I’m up for anything. I’m just not going to start the game since I goofed it up last time.
Okay, I’ve created an Ancient Med game. Join code is “Dopers”. 10 points to join, public messaging only, so not strictly Gunboat. We need 4 more players!
I’m in!
Yeah, I’m in.
Only need two more players. If you’re interested in playing, please sign up!
We’re up to four players. Just one more to go! C’mon, you know you want to conquer the ancient world. Everybody wants to rule the world.
And we’re on!
I surrender!!
Sorry, I just like saying that at the outset.
Carthago delenda est!
I am not Rome, but I couldn’t resist saying that.
Aw, I missed it. I’m eager to watch from the sidelines, though. Go Persia!
I’m playing Diplomacy right now, and have a horrid decision to make!

I am England allied with Germany and Turkey. Austria and Italy are allied with each other. I thought I was about to obliterate France, but am suddenly in big trouble.
I can (probably) hold on to Spain, but watch my fleets in the Mediterranean get obliterated. Or — and I’d do this for sure if it were Spring, but it’s Autumn — give up Spain, playing Spain->WMed to try to retain a hold in the Mediterranean.
Help? Only 20 hours till deadline.
