and that scene from A New Hope where Luke switches off his targeting computer and you fight back the tears.

This was exactly what I was going to say.

Ok wait, wait, wait ...

Why can Bo add images and I can't?!?! You elitist son-of-a-gun!!!

Holy crap, a MadMarx and a Durga and an Octavious sighting! This must really be a serious development indeed.

Seems reasonable to me. Love the transparency.

Dargorygel, hate to have to tell you this but I think your eyes are failing.

Well then what’s the point of having power if you’re not allowed to abuse it? Hardly even seems worth it.


Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!

I've not bounced Gal a few times playing as Russia if I have good relationships with both Italy and Turkey. By agreeing to a Gal bounce you can be relatively confident in Austria's moves being to Gal, Serbia, and Albania which when tipped off to Italy allows him to walk right into Trieste with Rome...

Oh yeahhhh, sweet sweet recognition.

Omg, it’s THE Umble!!! I’ve heard of you!

Looking back at turkeys stab of Russia, does that still merit the really high grade given at the time or was it in fact a poor stab? I look at the convoy from Tuscany to Albania as particularly questionable given that turkey could have crippled Italy by forcing Rome AND had a useful army pretty wes...

Sorry gang for the neglect, both work and Diplomacy had unexpectedly amped up for me but I'm back and ready to throw out a new lecture. I'd like to also echo other's sentiments in thanking our replacement Turkey for stepping in and helping the game maintain some integrity. It's a shame when these th...

This was such a delight to see unfold. Without further ado, let’s dive in!! An Idiots Review of 1906 England Not a bad year. I like how you were able to advance some fleets and keep France on his heels as you were able to help Germany pick chip away at him and force a destroy. Russia being forced to...

Lots of exciting stuff, love it! New post coming soon.

We can just duct tape her phone around her forehead. Same-same.

Great question. I’ve often said I love playing ”really good” players because they tend to be the most predictable. New players are unintentionally unpredictable because they don’t know what they’re doing and exceptional players just know it pays to draw outside the lines, but “good” players will jus...

I've mentioned in the previous lectures that sometimes when a center is obviously defended, it ends up not being necessary to defend it because everyone assumes you will.

File away in your playbooks, this is the sort of game style that separates the good from the great.

Personally, i'd suggest not to bring up the newbie status as it does have potential to invite players to attempt to take advantage of inexperience. I'd just keep it vague. I'm sure it'll be obvious your not a vet but no need to underline just how green you are. Some alliances are easier to work then...

Perhaps the professors are avoiding addressing this directly, but I am very curious to hear which factors they believe "the rest" of the players should consider when determining whether a coalition is necessary against a "big alliance," or even just one big player. Fantastic question! There’s many ...

Russia I can only speculate on which of these moves were planned and which were betrayals. Do you think we can learn anything from Trieste retreating to Serbia rather than Albania? Can this still be a smokescreen? Serbia is a fairly understandable move. Albania is unnecessary if it's an ongoing Jug...
