Retiring from playing Diplomacy

[brainbomb]

Hi all! So I have nearly reached 500 games here. Ive decided that Century League game 3 will be my last.

I dont plan to leave webdip! I plan to remain as a forum member, mafia player abd an organizer of simulators.

But I dont feel ive ever really been very good at diplomacy. Recent events have soured me on the overall experience. Games take a ton of time and when people play the game to advance their stats instead of practicing actual tact and diplomacy -I find it disappointing.

I have peaked at my skills at this and I dont think I am going to get any better playing 500 more games. I hope this doesnt come off as telling others to stop playing! Please keep playing. I do love this website. I wouldnt play dip anywhere else. Im just not mentally that invested in this game anymore. Reaching 500 games and only winning about a dozen of them kind of tells you my story too.

Bye, but not bye?

Does this mean more BB?

[President Eden]

He will start a new game in three days as the resurrected BrainBomB and promptly solo on the top six players in webDip history.

[Claesar]

It's hard to solo, I think win+draw percentage is a better metric. You have a 35% rate at Classic, which is quite reasonable. Top payers start at 50%, but it's lonely at the top.

Nonetheless, I'm glad to hear you'll still be on our forum. After a while, you'll probably feel like starting a game again

I genuinely have no idea what you're talking about. What does playing games to advance stats mean? It almost sounds like you're irritated by people playing to win

Did someone say pizza? Word on the street said someone was throwing a pity party in this thread and that there'd be pizza.

I'm only here for the pizza, btw.

(side bar: immediately after posting I realized i probably don't wanna compare myself to kevin spacey in light of recent allegations; buuuuut still hilarious)

[CAPT Brad]

you make a great kevin spacey

[CommanderByron]

Thanks brad. Ya know. I’ve always felt that you’d be a great Harvey Weinstein or possibly even a really good Cosby. Something about you yells “Great movie producer and stand up comic.”

[CAPT Brad]

Yes but I always kept my hands to myself, and was most respectful where women were concerned. The talent without the malace.
