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.
