Awesome thanks, so the game is played anonymously right? We won't know who is what country correct?

Also, Did you plan it for the game to begin when the BM "day" changes (ie. not turns but day) or was that pure coincidence?

For this game, yes. You actually have option the check anonymous or not when you set up the game. I like anonymous when playing with people you know, because it provides a little more depth to the game I think. However, it is diplomacy and anything goes in negotiating so nothing is stopping you from telling someone else who you are (are you could lie even). It is also usually easy if you're used to playing someone (especially since we all play something like BM together) to figure out who they are purely by how they write/communicate. For instance, it usually isn't hard for me and Vellos to figure out who each other is. But, knowing, this you can alter how you write/communicate with people to try to fool them, etc. Or not, maybe you want them to know, maybe you want to try to get them thinking your someone else. It's all up to, it's the beauty of the game.

No, I didn't lol. I just gave a 24 hour joining period.

Hmm, looks like it might be one down.  WebDiplomacy starts games if there are 5+, right?  Should we play it with one less, or pause it and wait?

Indeed, the 7th player never joined so the game canceled. Very sad indeed.

We can give it another go if we get everyone on board again.
