 This is so god damn amazing. I’m so confused on how this happened- how do you kill all the units but 1? What????? Also what is this pacifist game you guys speak of? Is it just a “don’t fight each other” or more of this amazing crazy nonsense? Man I love diplomacy.

The craziest part is it started before I turned 18 so it has encompassed literally my entire adult life.

Nice move by Turkey in 1956. I don't think Russia saw that coming.

 Since nothing can change, the game should be ended, but not cancelled. It is something very unique. It's a pity you haven't take care of this Turkish army.
is it even possible to destroy every unit on the board?
If it would be possible, we would have done it. ;-)

 You could do it if build phases were slightly less common:
Spring: A takes B’s last two SCs
Autumn: B dislodges one of A’s units, which disbands.
Autumn 2: B dislodges the other of A’s units, which disbands.
Winter: B has no SCs, so disbands their two units. A has no home SCs, and no units.

But I can’t see how you’d do it in the normal rules.
If you diestroy the enemies armies, they cannot take your last centers. It is impossible to reach 0 unit, even if the build phases are less common.

Hmm...

Now the question remains, is it possible, in any variant, to prune it down to 0 units? :D

The amount of 'site resources' to keep this game up isnt that much, and if it really is something THAT significant, I lowkey will just pay the amount, it cant be that much my goodness

 Do you have something against the year 2020? Or 2120? Or 2520? Don't those years deserve a chance?
Respectively no, yes, yes and no. In game years don't matter and if you disagree I'm sure there's a modern variant somewhere that starts so late some of those might come up.

It's just a waste of server resources at this point and slightly more work for people who want to see how long it took to achieve that remarkable game state and how it was achieved.

BTW, I'm psychic and human civilization really goes downhill after 2049, which is why I dislike most of the years you mentioned.

Try to keep the game going until everyone in the game die from old age.

Now, that.
That would be fun.

 The game should have been cancelled a very long time ago.

Diplomacy, and this site as a resource, is not intended to be a 7-player co-op game.

If that's what you want, go and play 'Zombie Apocalypse' or something!
It's a game. It's for having fun.

This.
