| Spring, 1903: he said there is a difference between Alliance and a truce, DMZ, or NAP.. I agree.. and it deals with honor, even in a game of war.. | |
| Spring, 1903: I don't think there is a difference! It's always stabbing - and that's part of the game. It's called diplomacy because it's up to you to decide how far you can trust someone, no matter what he said! | |
| Spring, 1903: Since the first edition of Diplomacy back in the 50s the rules specifically state that players are not bound to anything they say during negotiation. A good player always keeps the possibility of a stab in mind and reacts accordingly. It is a viable tactic to win this game, and if you cant deal with it you should go back to playing Risk or Monopoly or whatever. |
|
| Spring, 1903: This game is entirely about how you use pathos, ethos and logos, in short diplomacy, to manipulate your adversaries. The best players get their enemies to do their dirtywork and then dispose of them. If you let yourself be manipulated to help advance another players cause, deal with it or do it better the next time. After all this is by no means a military simulation. Its called Diplomacy for a reason. |
|
| Spring, 1903: Thanks! | |
| Spring, 1903: lol | |
| Spring, 1903: lets see how this game pans out- im going to completely remove my armies from scandanavia and mainly europe germany and russia- feel free to share the spoils whilst i return hom to fight france |
|
| Autumn, 1903: thats good | |
| Autumn, 1903: Gahhh ... server downtime ... what a drag! | |
| Spring, 1904: dear mr turkey- please help yourself yo st peters... im exiting this turn | |
| Spring, 1904: dear mr germnay- you may take sweden as well | |
| Autumn, 1904: Silesa will support you to Warsaw or the other way around, I could use a build | |
| Autumn, 1904: Hold on ... hahaha! ... I almost didnt notice you posted in global! Whooboy. |
|
| Spring, 1905: I will be gone for 3 days, (7/4/2011-7/7/2011) So is there anyway I can get a pause. It is for family gathering for 4th of July celebration. No way I can get around it. | |
| Spring, 1905: Pause for three days it is. I dont mind. | |
| Autumn, 1905: Yap, pause. | |
| Autumn, 1905: Come on guys, lets pause. | |
| Autumn, 1905: Would be sad to continue with a missing player... | |
| Autumn, 1905: Lets wipe out England and pause | |
| Autumn, 1905: If I can help anyone against TURKEY just ask I will help | |
| Autumn, 1905: after the ally stabbing i got early, im in no mood to be helpful in this game sorry italy, |
|
| Autumn, 1905: good luck to all except france :) |
|
| Autumn, 1905: Ahh so many sore losers. If only there was some way of expressing your emotions in the game. If only you could show all those evil evil backstabbers ... i dont know ... by actually playing better? | |
| Autumn, 1905: lol | |
| Autumn, 1905: lol | |
| Autumn, 1905: im a new guy- havent even finished a game yet.... im going to be crap for a while :) ill get there eventually then ill be back to deal with eccoi hehe |
|
| Autumn, 1905: That's the spirit. Learn the game, get to know the mechanics, deal with the possibility to get stabbed, and stab some yourself. After that you know your way around. Better than to throw a hissy fit and call each other names. Show us on the battle field! | |
| Autumn, 1905: hehe i will |
|
| Autumn, 1905: So come on guys, we can still pause this. Italy's still got some negotiating power left. | |
| Spring, 1906: Thanks guys. Shows just how respectful all of you are.. | |
| Spring, 1906: Yeah, see my PM. | |
| Spring, 1906: True. But not "all of you"... most players paused! | |
| Spring, 1907: Ok ... so this is becoming interesting fast. | |
| Autumn, 1907: the guy playing france doesnt care about any rules of etiquette | |
| Autumn, 1907: dont trust him, | |
| Autumn, 1907: he will never do anything for anyone | |
| Autumn, 1907: *sigh* | |
| Autumn, 1907: go mr brown! | |
| Autumn, 1907: lol | |
| Autumn, 1907: Another word, Cockney, and I will quote the neat little ally-stabbing-messages you wrote to me (not realizing that it's me) in the other match... ;) | |
| Autumn, 1907: Whoops. Bringing information outside of the match into it can be considered meta-gaming. | |
| Autumn, 1907: Don't worry... I won't! And I hope Cockney was also content with writing me and no one else... | |
| Autumn, 1907: Pfff ... Italy, seriously? You're making us wait the entire phase for you to destroy the last unit? | |
| Autumn, 1907: He want's to keep us in suspense... ;) | |
| Autumn, 1907: come on brown or jones.... :) |
|
| Autumn, 1909: Aww man. Sorry dude, but I''ll still go for that win. | |
| Autumn, 1909: eccoi has left? lol |
|
| Spring, 1910: Ahh ... my easy win ;) |
|
| Autumn, 1911: And one more year ... I could have won already, couldnt I? | |
| Autumn, 1911: Ugh ... the waiting is the worst. Lets commit to finalize orders, guys. It aint rocket science. |
