Don't lament too much yet, they haven't closed sign ups as far as I'm aware. Go forth and annihilate participate! (Bad timing for me too, I'd have jumped into one of the many games that recently started if I wasn't burned out. But a full diplo game probably wouldn't have been the one for me anyway).
Played: Pitboss 18 - Kublai Khan of Germany Somalia | Pitboss 11 - De Gaulle of Byzantium | Pitboss 8 - Churchill of Portugal | PB7 - Mao of Native America | PBEM29 Greens - Mao of Babylon
