New variants?
I recently stumbled upon this seemingly abandoned play-by-email site: http://www.diplomaticcorp.com/variants.php
which got me wondering if it would be possible to move any of those files here. Looks like there is a wide range of maps and rule edits among the variants that we don't have here, has anyone played any of those before?

Anon games with ready symbol?
Is anyone else interested in being able to have anon games where you can still see if people have readied their orders or not? Like how there is an option for hidden draw votes, would it be possible to have an option to either have or not have hidden order status?

Diplomacy puzzles
What if there were Diplomacy puzzles, functioning similarly to Chess puzzles? i.e. you would start with a complicated troop setup and you would have to figure out what the best orders are, or how to guarantee X supply centers in Y turns. Is there something like this that already exists? I couldn’t find much of anything online beyond a few one-offs.

Pure variant is build anywhere?
If the Pure variant is a "build anywhere" game (and I believe that it is), that needs to be added to the Special Rules/Information section of its page.

Discord Variants: Two New Maps in July, Prep for 2024 Tournament
Hey all, NoPunIn10Did here. I hope you're enjoying Chesspolitik!

I'm revving up to playtest two new variants this July: "Sub-Saharan" (1881 Africa) and "Succession & Legacy" (1703 Europe). Details to follow.

Finkelboat Coordination
Hello all,
I’ve been running the Finkelboat series for a while now. The extremely unrealistic goal is for me to eventually obtain a win on each power on each map (minus a few extremely unbalanced variants such as fubar, Rinascimento, etc). This is the discussion where I will have the link to a record of all games played in the series, and most importantly: get your input.

The idea is to play ten games at a time. If you want to play less than that, you are certainly welcome to. I’d love to have a few players play all ten games, and then have a few slots open for players who just want to play one or two games. All are welcome, no matter how many games you decide to play.

If you have any suggestions for future maps that you’d like to play a bunch of games on, let me know here! I will consider your input while deciding on future maps.

The “Rules”:
5 point buy-in
WTA
Gunboat
Once I have won a game as each power on a map, the map will be retired from the series. Until then, I may bring it back. And of course…
Winning is strongly encouraged.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xE1iDSCDH465VZXQctiPGxIqAVOhXbV7bxa7jnB24as/edit#gid=1813429280

Retired maps:
Hundred
843: Treaty of Verdun
I'm hoping to start a round of Chesspolitik on Monday. Let me know your suggestions; if there's a demand for something, I'll bump it up to the front of the list.
Chesspolitik ugh. I already suck at Chess and Diplomacy enough, and somehow they managed to combine those two XD

I appreciate and want to join in more of these! As for suggestions, have you tried the new Cold War Redux map?
Is the Finkelboat like the Vengabus?
Only if winning is strongly encouraged on the Vengabus
