In for 35 players, but only if we get all of them.

I don't think that's realistic here, though it would be... Interesting.

Faust has also been incredibly stubborn this game. In other news, it's hot in the summer, and water falls from the sky when it rains.

35 people is about a class at a large public high school.  If anyone is a geography/history teacher and wants to try to get away with running that variant IRL in class for a few days, that would be really epic. Not worth getting fired over, but epic...

In my high school history class, I always thought that we should conclude the WWI unit with some sort of team game of Diplomacy. It would be awesome.

If I were a teacher, I would use games all the time to make the stuffy material come to live.

Diplomacy for History obviously, but also medieval or Roman/Greek themed games.
For maths I there are a lot of interesting choices.

isn't there also a 35-player variant where every supply center on a regular dip board is a 1-center nation

I'm pretty sure Tom Vasel does this, he also plays Werewolf/Mafia with class.

Yup, I saw it when browsing through the jDip supported variants.

Actually my local game store is running "Back To School" themed game sessions, named after a school subject and teaching a game. Like "History - 7 Wonders" and "Health - Pandemic." Sort of a fun thing.

It's actually 34-player, but yes, it does exist.

You have to be pretty unlucky to not make the cut for a 34 player game.
