I decided to play a WTA game with a 101 point buy-in to prevent myself from encountering game-throwers and people who settle for second place. An assumption that I have is that: most rational, intelligent people will try to play the game to 1 - win, 2 - draw. I understand that some might prefer to die in a way that suits them, but only an absolute idiot would rank a survive as more important than a draw. This was my first mistake.
I present to you this game:
http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?
gameID=77811 After Germany pulled into the lead, Italy and I began to rally France to our side. Watching the last few years of the game however, you can clearly see how the French player goes from a position of power to a loss by slowly feeding Germany the win.
He gained nothing from it, and could have been in a 3-way, 2-way, or 4-way draw given his position. Above all else, he had the power to enforce a stalemate line. If he had eliminated Germany and tried for Italy, maybe even won the game (most SCs were on his side of the line).
Instead, he fed the game to Germany, and refused to communicate with anyone except for a few self-righteous global messages.
Thus I present the three possible reasons for this to have happened.
1 - Jefe is a multicaccount with Danaman, and they should both be banned.
2 - Jefe is trolling, and should be banned for playing.
3 - Jefe has an acceptable level of incompetence and irrationality accepted in this community as a fun way to play the game.
Either way, I'll paraphrase here what I said to him in PM to save him the trouble of trying to post it in another self-righteous argument about how I am a lesser player because X, Y, and Z.
Jefe, you are a disgusting diplomacy player who totally and irreversably ruined the game for the rest of us by throwing that game. Italy and I out-played Germany, who was only a "master diplomat" as you put it because Russia, England, and YOU allowed him to walk right into their SCs
To do something I find immature and very gratifying.
Fuck you Jefe, fuck you, and I do very much hope that you never reproduce. If you have, I very much hope your children die in terrible, terrible ways.
