"But TBR, there's already two (takes a look), THREE other DipNESes!!"
That may be true. But this Diplomacy has a twist! Since I have discovered how to mod jDip, we can have a game where people pick their own customized nations and starting locations as in other cradle NESes!
I don't know what such an endeavor will do to the balance of the game, but who cares! You can't evolve unless you chance mutation.
Anyway, let's get to it!

****Sign-Ups Closed!****
Here's the form that people use to sign up. If you want to keep the home SC's and such stuff secret until the game starts you can PM them to me.
Descriptions are optional, but I figured I'd give you the opportunity to intervene before I gave your people some ridiculous backstory.
Nation Name/Player:

Home Centers(Unit):

Description:
(example)
Nation Name/Player: Fezland/TheBladeRoden
Color: Dark Red
Home Centers(Unit):
1. naf (F)
2. tun (W)
3. spa (A)
Description: The loyal followers of Mustafa from Austin Powers. Often seen sporting gray sportcoats, sunglasses, and, of course, a red fez hat.
A Note on Naming:
Spaces aren't fully supported (unless you like pitch black unreadable units) so you'll have to use something like GreenArmy or whatever.
Notes on Starting Centers:
Home SC's have to be within 2 spaces to another one. (e.g. (stp, mos, arm) will work, but not (stp, mos, ank))
The locations of the SC's have been randomized by myself to make for some fresh strategy.
The usual rules about the 18 SC victory still apply.
They'll be given out on a first come, first serve basis. So following is a list a list of available Centers left for newbies to pick from.
Um, I think that's it
Alright! Let's hope there's still people left to sign up, or I'll just wait until one of the other risk-type diplo-type games ends! And then we'll get this started!
