Please reply to this comment with your time zone in UTC if you are interested in a game that has 48 hour turns. That means that, at the same time every day, you need to submit your orders for the turn. This is a 'slow' pace, and time zone won't be as important.
This is not really true. You can submit your orders at any point during the 72 hour period. Most players submit conditional orders before the deadline, just in case - if all players submit and finalize their orders, the game will progress immediately.
I'm happy to play any non-live game that has phase lengths longer than 36 hours. (I'll copy/paste this message I suppose) But I do not play games that aren't Winner Takes All, as points per supply center encourages gameplay that is fundamentally different to the founding principles of Diplomacy. I would also prefer anonymous games to non-anonymous games.
I am on EDT, which I believe is -5 UTC, although I don't see why that matters for long phase length games.

Duplicate; please delete the extra ones.
ETA: My bad, I was reading Recent Comments and saw many comments by the same person with identical text replying to the same individual. I didn't check to see if they were in other threads because this pattern normally means someone has mistakenly multi-posted. I was mistaken.
I deleted two of them, but my intention was (and is) to express interest in games of various time frames. One is after all allowed to play multiple games at once.
(This post was written while seeing only one post by me per comment tree. If that was not the case when you posted your comment then I do not know what changed.)
UTC +10 here, signing up for this or slower paces. Being as much as 18 hours out will make any game with phases shorter than 18 hours a little difficult, I think. (Also a vote for normal Diplomacy),
Well it's impossible to be more than 12 hours out of phase... It doesn't matter what you call it, only what hours the two people are awake/asleep. You're really only six hours away.
I'm in for this. UTC -8. Only winner take all, and I'd strongly prefer playing Diplomacy to playing the thing where you talk a lot and do the social nonsense about trying to commit to things that aren't binding and coordinate. Or, without the snark, I'd strongly prefer gunboat/anonymous games as RobertLumley described.
Should we perhaps have a separate thread for a gunboat? Gunboat is a very different game than traditional. I guess I'm willing to try it, but to be perfectly honest, I'm hesitant to play gunboat with people with varying levels of familiarity with the game - it takes a high level of experience in order to play gunboat well, and if you don't have good players, then it's really just a crapshoot, and entirely luck based.
