World War Two Diplomacy (Global Variant)
I was thinking about how a WW2 variant would look for Diplomacy if the game extended itself across the globe (involving Japan, China, Australia, Brazil and the US). Any ideas?

Complaint about draws!!!
See Below:

Draw votes are thrown about WAY too much on this site. Every time I see a game, People are putting up draw votes. It’s getting to the point that the draw vote is being abused. I think that draw votes should have a dialog box when clicked on, requiring the voter to give a valid reason for the vote. This would prevent players from voting just because they are bored or because they had a 4-way alliance with others. I think that the reasons for draw votes should be presented on global to the players that have been defeated, and must be approved by them before the vote can be accepted. I also think that all draws must first be approved by the mods to ensure that the draws are fair and not just because 2 or 3 players decided to draw. Too often are the mods allowing games to draw that have not reached a true stalemate lines, while games that have been stalled out are left to go on and be approved by a unanimous vote. I hereby propose this solution to eliminate the corrupt use of the draw votes...
P.S- this is not a real complaint... just to show how foolish some arguments are...

Lol - I'm glad you put the p.s. on there. I actually thought it was real when I read the start - I've heard a lot of arguments similar to it...

@ butterhead : what is the problem ?

A) If you are still playing the game and if you disagree with the Draw, just don't vote.

B) If you are not playing the game, why would you have the right to refuse that some players draw ?

You write that you think that defeated players should have the right to approve a Draw ?! That seems insane to me !

@Retillion- did you read the last sentence of my statement, or did you just pick and choose the parts you wanted to argue about? It was not real. it was made up. it was proving a point...

come on butterhead, do you really think that's a joke? people throw up their draw votes to take attention off themselves. it's unsportmanlike to put up the draw flag until you would be happiest to end the game with the number of players whom remain at that moment.use that flag whenever you want, but you should mean it.

I agree, butterhead.
And I also hereby object to people not stabbing when they should. Alliances should be prodded and ridiculed by the mods and defeated players if they are being too effective and/or boring.

"@Retillion- did you read the last sentence of my statement, or did you just pick and choose the parts you wanted to argue about? It was not real. it was made up. it was proving a point..."

@butterhead: That's not what picking and choosing means. You're entire paragraph was saying one thing (which included some legitimate points) and only at the end was there a statement saying it wasn't a real complaint. Maybe people should be more observant but I don't think you successfully made your point as it was too subtle. Are you saying that people's arguments that people draw too much are foolish or are you specifically showing how some suggestions for fixing this are foolish?

@All- in case the point hasn't clicked yet- this was an attack on the foolishness of the argument about "giving reasons for extends, etc. etc." that has been occurring. Raro seems to be the only one who picked up on that...

I liked Raro's post, but most of all I liked your idea. So I took the liberty of reinterpret it in threadID=40349.
Likewise, I'm not sure how many people, aside Decima Legio, read carefully the pre-last sentence of my first post...

Is there supposed to be a land bridge between Shima and Mikawa? I don't think there is but someone support moved to one of them using the other. I don't know if that is supposed to happen or not.

1000/1200px Layout?
I think it would be a good idea to increase the width of the layout from 800px to 1000px or 1200px. The reason for this is to make more space for variant maps which are too large to be <750px. Thoughts?
