The DVW was in a way an extension of the CAT-23 Diplomacy community, which now is only a shaddow of its former self - understandably enough when other communities offer so much more (e.g. DC). But with the decline of CAT-23, so has DVW missed out on fresh faces. At least that's my impression after a 5 year break. A diminishing cadre of oldtimers.

A more visible place for variant design discussions would be preferable, imo.

Open question to anyone that feels like answering:

What are your top 3 favorite Diplomacy variants?

Variant Designers: No voting for your own variants!

Mine would be:

1 - Aberration (just love the concept, and it's rather balanced)
2 - Ancient Mediterranean (Don Hessong made a masterpiece, and refined it to perfection)
3 - Known World (up and coming...still needs some refining I think, but potential to be truly great)

Honorable mention goes to 1648 - might make the top 3 once I have a chance to play it.

Always interesting to hear people's responses to this, and useful for designing future variants (knowing what appealed and what didn't in other variants)

Diplomacy games may contain lying, stabbing, or deliberately deceiving communications that may not be suitable for and may pose a hazard to young children, gullible adults, and small farm animals.
