Over in the Modern Powers side of things, I was attempting to organize a group of 7 to play a game to diplomacy, with me running the show as a neutral GM.

While we have 5 entrants so far, thanks to @pmya, @jidlaph, @boukert, @fluf, and @redviiper, we need two more for a complete game. Experience or knowledge of the game doesn't matter - two of our players are relatively new themselves, and I, as the neutral GM, will be available to answer any questions during the game. It will be played over a few weeks, but it's not much of a time sink, so even on a time budget you should be able to participate; even better if you can get on our IRC channel from time to time to chat in real-time with other players. You can find it here - https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.goat.chat:+6697#modernpowers

Hope to see you guys there!

What's this?

What's what? I thought I explained it well?

Do you mean the game? It's a board game of 7 great powers that fight for control over Europe. Do you mean "what's the reason for this?" I explained that in the linked thread - I got to thinking about it, and while we wait for season three of MP, how about a game to get some interactions and juices going?

It have been many years that I have played Diplomacy, but I'd be interested.

All right! That just leaves one more.

Or, if everyone is content with accepting that I don't cheat (because I don't, but wouldn't a cheater say that :P), I can fill the last spot myself. But I think it would be much smoother if we have 7 players and a 8th (myself) serving as GM.

You could also simply use the six player option with Italy as sitting duck.
[–] TheRedArmy [OP] 3 points (+3|-0)

Yes, although I've never liked that option. I suppose if people were OK with it, Perhaps it wouldn't be all bad, but I feel like Austria has a much easier time of it if Italy is just sitting on ass. If people were down for it, I wouldn't mind, although a 7th would definitely be preferred.

@pmya, @jidlaph, @boukert, @fluf, @redviiper? Any thoughts, if you guys are even still game (it was a while ago when I first brought it up).

It looks like no one else is forthcoming, so we could as well start with you as 7th player.

If anyone is worried about you being too powerful and abusing your rules knowledge, we could just force your pick to be Italy :P

Sorry, was off for a few days; yeah that sounds good, I was gonna volunteer for Italy anyway. That green color is pleasing to me. :p
