Random thoughts, not meant to offend. Real people in lots of countries lost real lives. Interesting for me, is looking at the death of Qassem Suleimani, through the lens of Diplomacy (the game). Suleimani, managed to build a broad coalition across many countries against a stronger power. Not against...

Ok I get you may not know who is who, but you know the cohort. Not very anonymous ?

I hope one day they will be able to play press games too!

The real turing test! Its bad enough being beaten in Gunboat by the bots. No thanks, at that point the end is nigh!

That is, there might be a bunch of people with 3 games left to play...

I am one of them. I getting absolutely kicked as a newbie when practicing. But I mangered to grind out a win in practice. Somehow (even if I entered three tonight), I think the top twenty are quite safe :)

In my defence, SignalsEngineer posted in this thread that he had joined me ánd confirmed this in a PM. I reminded him to let Temasek know, both in this thread and via PM. I will not accept responsibility for his failure.

I will accept responsibility for my failure. Claesar is correct.

SignalsEngineer has missed yet another turn...

Sorry guys. Look like I keep mucking up the PMs.

I will drop out at this stage.

Hi, Love the new AI bots, really help a newbie like me practice. http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=246714&nocache=740 I am stuck on help to repel England. I am not sure if I should let the fleet take St Petersburg and keeping being aggressive in central Europe - or rush an extra army back. I ...

This very cool.

The bots do like a draw ....
As an example. 1 unit....

Phase 2 rule:
Players may not friend players that they were in a coalition with during phase 1.

Well the good news is people. I can be friends with all of you.

Can we be friends ?
I will reciprocate.

SignalsEngineer and Jamiet99uk did not join a coalition

The send button, the flying flamingo send button. Press hit.
Well that me out of the running....

Upvote this post the most and I will join the either any random “Solitary” Coalition or the “Gamble” Coalition which gave me the least number of upvotes.

Sounds fun.

Please and thanks.

No rain!
Nevermind.

Bloody hell backstabbr.com is wonderful to use in a game.

At what point can I ask/comment on a "Classic, Anonymous players" in a forum ?

Cheers Claesar, the only game I am active is paused. So hopefully (apart from me trying to keep up with a 5 min/turn game last night) my reliability should be high.

Brilliant replies - thanks all. mdrltc - Yep, there was a great move by Russia that closed all my retreating options. I need to think that a retreat can even be a (useful) extra move. Naked - Good point about "nothing nice to tell you" Did not think about that reason. They may have been "Diplomatic"...

So I have now played my first game of Diplomacy ever. (Ignoring the four completed 1v1 and one 1v1 still on going). First impressions - I love it! I would say I am a moderate board game player, about 1 day per month. I heard the stories of Diplomacy play and always wanted to play it. Don’t know why ...

Vienna or Venice!

Bloody hell. I blamed it on a dodgy telegraph operator!

Probably shows I am a real newbie!
