I'm in. I'd like to take Turkey, if that's OK.

I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.

Yes, that's alright. Only 3 spots left.

Question: how are you going to conduct diplomacy? 40 PMs, especially if you're going to keep your sent messages, is not a lot. You can't do it in public, as the essence of Diplomacy is giving different messages to different people. My suggestion would be for each player to keep 2 text files, one for messages they've received, the other for messages they've sent. That way, they can play Diplomacy and keep their inbox clear.
Another suggestion for later games - countries should be randomly distributed to keep things fresh, otherwise there will be Russia or England specialists who play nothing else.

Re: Diplomacy Game (full)
Just a quick suggestion: In most real games of diplomacy, a limit is placed on the amount of time given to write orders. Otherwise, the game turns into a prohibitively lengthy affair.
I suggest you do the same here: you could give everyone a nice long period of time (say 3-4 days) but after that units who haven't received orders are given an automatic "hold" order. If the time limit is indefinite, this game stands a significant chance of dying before it gets off the ground.

If you define cowardice as running away at the first sign of danger, screaming and tripping and begging for mercy, then yes, Mr. Brave man, I guess I'm a coward. -Jack Handey
Re: Diplomacy Game (full)
I agree. It's not really moving at the moment.
Cowardice is to run from the fear;
Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
But to hold the line anyway.
