Default Another experimental game

This will be done with 6 players on a map, modified like I always modify them, with my usual settings (slightly rich across the board.)

The players will be arranged thusly (with wrap-around on both sides)

1 2 3
4 5 6


The goal is to wipe out all adjacent players. Thus - 1 wins when 2,3 and 4 are eliminated, 5 wins when 2,4 and 6 are eliminated, and so forth.

A joint win is possible - if 1,3 and 6 are the only players left, when 3 is eliminated, 1 and 6 get a joint win.

The idea is that, if we cannot eliminate diplomacy, we can at least fix the alliances before play begins. The friend-of my friend-is my foe set up allows the game to retain a certain level of tension.

Thoughts?
