It's difficult to find 7 players with hours of free time at any point, but it would be great to get some live/blitz games going again.

I typically bounce in Sweden unless Russia gives me a good reason not to or E and F are acting worryingly If you're working with the English, you can easily push Russia out of the north by denying them Sweden. If you're working with the French, it weakens Russia's ability to support England and thei...

I can't find the old press bc we canceled the game :-( but! France implied he asked you for WT so thought Gandalf did that first. And you just were too flightly. I was DTF (Down to overthrow France), and you were constantly saying you had to talk to France more, and never really sent me press back....

For the record, Ginge was wrong to identify me as Russia in that game (now cancelled). I was Germany, actually! Heh, I kew it! (I was england, could France or Russia let me know if you were planning to stab me before the game went tits up) I suppose everybody knows that I was France at this point, ...

Do other players think that I had an obligation here to tell another player not to talk about player identities? I feel like managing relationships is a big part of press diplomacy, and agreeing with other players' gripes, grudges, and impressions of each other is part of that. I certainly didn't d...

Did anybody really think that Ginge86 was a top-notch player who needed to be feared, though? I have no clue how good Ginge86 is and don't particularly care.

If we did want to continue with this game, could JECE be subbed in right away, or would we have to wait for Ginge to NMR out?

This seems intriguing enough. I'd be willing to join if the phase length is right and I meet whatever standards apply here.

Is the expectation that players stick to the goal of maximizing their Welfare Points regardless of other considerations? For example: -Should a player accept elimination in order to gain additional WP? -Is punishing a rival player in a way that knowingly costs you WP against the rules or spirit of t...

I don't know what information the bots are supposed to take into consideration, but from my experience the best opening for an Italian bot in a bot game where the human player is Austria is definitely attacking Austria. If Austria survives long enough for Turkey and Russia to be defeated (which they...
