Please come help us out guys. We def (or anyway I def) won't hold it against you that your predecessor was a loser, and Italy has a fine position. It's a good game.

Italy's encirclked by England and Austria with Turkey not helping...

81 is steep to join THAT :/

*sigh* OK, fine.....

but at least it'll only hurt for a minute. :-P

Besides, think of it like this. You've just got 100 at the moment. If you lose, you can quickly start over again, and if you don't, you'll have almost doubled your D.

Italy's fucked, no thanks.

Side note, how extensive was dr rush's cheating? Seems like every single game popping up in the forum is one of his abandoned-due-to-banning games...

ohh how i hate dr rush and cockney, they pissed me off so badly. i've played 2 games with them, and one more with dr rush. i think the world game that i was in started cockney's metagaming.

Eden you're so good at Diplomacy, I'm sure you could turn it around [insert further hopeless appeals to ego here]

As for his cheating, I don't really know, I played with him once in a live game, and we eliminated his apparent multi early, but he stayed involved in the game and did quite well on his own. It seems that there were a few other players banned with him though, the most notable, I think, being Cockney.

Yeah Cockney launched a blitzkrieg at me when I unwittingly attacked his multi in another game, lol. Luckily he got banned right before he wrecked my position.

Hey, whoever is sitting for Thucy.... Thucy would want you to join this game with his account. He is all about helping other people in hard circumstances in self-giving ways. That is exactly the scenario here. As I see it, you owe it to Thucy to join this game for him.
:-P

That's lucky.

Seriously though Eden, you have more points and GR than you'll ever need, and thus nothing to lose really, you might as well do us a favor and join to keep it balanced.

I'm not donating 81 and 31 GR to charity ;>_>

Well, Eden, charity is nameless and faceless. I can understand that.

But what about _giving_ 81 and 31 GR to _your friends_ from the webdip board? Kind of like an early Christmas gift?

That's quite selfish of you, think of what Putin would do and kindly share your good fortune with everyone around you.

@semck: How about I go one further and give y'all a game, since that one's ruined?

@ghug: you're surprised a minarchist is selfish? neat

That is very kind, Eden, and I'd like to take you up on it. Let me get back to you.

Italy is screwed. I wouldn't do it for 20

Why not just draw? If someone doesn't, unite, take them out, THEN draw

Thanks Sydney. Perhaps we'll have to.
But honestly guys, you're not helping. If you're not going to do it, could you at least sound more regretful? Perhaps say things that will not give such a strong impression of futility to the, erm, younger and more enthusiastic members of the webdip community? Perhaps, in future posts, you might say things like, "Wow, I'd like to join that game, but I'd feel like a thief taking over such a strong situation for a mere 81 ."

Why? That's a lie tho lol.

Sorry, but I don't like taking over such strong positions because I like to earn every victory I get.

*I'm* the person sitting for Thucky, and there isn't a chance in hell I'd join this farce.

Sydney offers the correct solution - if the balance is thrown, draw. If the balance is *not* thrown, then someone gets a cookie.

As I care not for points or GR I'll join - see you in game

Thanks stratagos

Thank you Maniac. :)

@Maniac, thanks

@Eden, I was kidding, I didn't really expect anyone to join, and I am not at all surprised that you are selfish. We discussed your offer in game and I think the consensus is to take you up on it after the current one ends, if you're still willing.
