I just realized A Modern Europe is just the HOI4 map with some small changes.
This is the variant: https://vdiplomacy.com/variants.php?variantID=136
And compare it to Europe in this: https://i.redd.it/mu1rgb224w221.png

Simultaneous Solos
I’ve just realized that in the games where a solo requires less than 50% of the available SCs, two players could reach that mark at the same time. Does anyone know if this has ever happened on this site and what would happen if it does?

South China Sea Variant
I put together a variant based on the South China Sea dispute.
https://vdiplomacy.com/variants.php?variantID=142
The seven players fight over tiny islands that are hard to defend. I think games should be pretty chaotic. Anyone interested in trying it out?

Country Switch in this map
Hi, I am Thailand on this map: https://www.vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=53898#gamePanel.
I am really busy these days, trying to find a new player to replace me.
I do not want it turns into an open position because I do not want Thailand to miss turns in this game. Is there an experienced player who wants to replace me?

That is because you joined after the golden variant age, after Oli went into Sleepcap mode.

We used to have them very often, every time a new variant was ready.

Say hello to Cold War redux, thanks Enriador (and tobi1?)!

This is the work of tobi1. For those out of the know, since the site owner Oli has been away, there was crisis with vDip's code being out of date. tobi1 stepped up and saved the site and took on the role of the site's caretaker out of necessity. I didn't want to say anything before, but earlier this week tobi1 made a new variant slot for my South China Sea variant and even made some rule edits, things only Oli could do before. tobi1 said he was getting used to the variant dev features. Now, before we all get our hopes up, I don't know if the intention is to fully bring back the old days of variant development. My guess is that he wants to release some of the "secret variants," the ones that have been sitting in the wings collecting dust for a while. I'm just saying this because tobi1 took on time-consuming responsibility he maybe didn't necessarily want, but did so anyway, so our little community here could keep going. Adding variants isn't just a lot of work for variant creators, but also for the site manager. I don't know if we'll ever get back to the old days, but hell, I never thought before last week we'd ever see a variant released here again. So, if you see tobi1 around here, make sure to tell him thank you!

@Lord Saviour Oli never vanished, he just has a lot of things going on in his RL, and that is obviously the priority.

But as Xenon Radon said, the active variant development pretty much stopped about three years ago.

I mean it’s not like we don’t have enough variant variety, but is is nice to see something new going online.

@Xenon Radon, I suppose it is because I just played with my irl friends in unrated games. Never really payed attention to the site.

@GOD, yeah, RL always comes first. Hope all is good with him wherever he is.

@tobi1 Thank you!

None of this would have been possible without @tobi1 and @Flame (who helped with the implementation on the Russian website) so *massive* thanks to both of them.

Do any of you play political rp minecraft or some other game?
I joined a political roleplay minecraft server recently where we build nations both physically in the game and on a custom map that looks similar to a diplomacy board. I've had a bit of fun making redstone farms and such to increase our economy, claim more land, and even make alliances with other nations. Does anyone else here have experience with minecraft political rp specifically or perhaps some other online multiplayer game?

How does game limit work?
Currently I can't join public games. It said, "Due to game limits you cannot join games."
However, when I click into "game limits" to check the details, it told me "=> No game limits apply".
Yet I still can't join games. I wonder how does this limit actually work, or is it a bug?

Variant Cataloging
I've been trying to keep track of variants made. Recently Stephen Agar came back on the scene and I am helping him amass variants over the past 20 years or so of his inactivity. I've made a google spreadsheet that contains the ones he's cataloged on his various websites and added a bunch that I knew of. I've also made a form to submit variants to be cataloged.
