@viper, hope you don't mind this post.
Suggestion for a game. WWII, level TBD. Japanese. No matter what the game says, you don't win if you don't control Hawaii, LA and San Fran. at the end.

I don't mind at all (I can't believe I didn't notice until now.) Sounds good, as Japan, since you can win a normal game even at Sid easily, maybe Deity for this (but I don't know how big this variant is, DG or below may be needed as the AIs get )?
Well I came back to this thread because I'm running low on SGs and finding myself with too much time on my hands
.
So for ideas... I've gotten reasonably solid on MAW if it's on archipelago, so a continents MAW is a possibility. I also was considering a game played on a world map, that may be fun. A Demigod training game would be good too. Or maybe no optional techs... any interest in any of these games (since I don't have many SGs going now I'll probably make 2 fairly soon unless I sign up for much more.

here's another idea since I can't seem to locate my ideas thread.
Do something on the order of Jumpmasters. 2 or 3 teams playing the same map as different civs with the same VC. I played in 2 of the Jumpers and was involved in one victory and one that is still going on with the SS VC still very much in doubt. I favor small maps (get bored with MM) but you could do whatever makes you happy. Would be interesting to compare results. Search Grey Fox's thread for ideas.
BTW, tiny SS VC is starting to looking interesting.

I vote for a controversal variant:You're only allowed to capture Asian cities and can only win by Domination.Which is called, "Greater East-Asian Co-prosperity Sphere".Admiral Kutzov said:
@AK: That would be fun, anyone else interested? BTW, I'm curious, where's that thread by Grey Fox that you mentioned? I can't find it in the SG forum.
@plarq: That's a good variant, one question: can we raze cities (because the Commonwealth would be a problem if we didn't get them out of there, and if we can't capture or raze, they're stuck there.)

@ viper try googling opium barons. I can't remember how I got there.
I just signed up for SW3 and I'm not ready for another game until Rat2 and Viper4 finish. Don't know if you can wait that long. plarq's idea is more historically accurate.

Switzerland variant sounds fun (you could add that you must have a bank in every city when it is possible
)
Maybe I will use plarq's idea.
@AK: I don't know, I've got 5 active SGs going right now (I can usually do about 6 but I'll survive if it's only 5.) I hope you could be in Vpr5, but I don't know if it's going to work out

Go without me if you want to get started. I always have more fun when I join late anyway. Know anyone who can handle JM1C, very late (circa post 1920)? I didn't PM you cause you've been there, done that.
My search skills are idiot level, I'd like to quote the infamous temple rant in an SG but can't find it. Can you help?

I don't know who could do JM1C... I'll think about it.
Oh, the Temple Rant. I think I've memorized it

Well my searching skill improves very much these years.But still far away from Deity (Google is Sid
)Okay, I think I'll start Vpr5 will start soon (since plarq is away from civ until the 20th and Admiral Kutzov might not be able to join immediately, I realize the start could be slow.) Switzerland variant is a possibility. I found a game with quite an interesting variant that I would not mind trying, which can be seen here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=81298&page=1&pp=20 .
