A provocative title for a thoughtful article! The style is different too: a dialogue between two players!
You've Never Used Turkey's Best Opening {A Diplomacy Dialogue}
I've already heard some really positive feedback about the advice. I also wonder what you might think of the style?

Re: Eden's Diplomacy Dossier Series on BrotherBored
I don't think I can overstate how high-quality these articles articles are. Yes, Eden and I seem to come from the same strategic school of thought. But I'm not talking about the substance of the advice per se, but rather about the quality writing. This is really good stuff you shouldn't miss out on!

Gunboat Diplomacy Openings for England
I get asked about this all the time. I finally reduced my thoughts to a writing so that I can direct people to an article (rather than explain myself for the umpteenth time).

Re: 2 way gunboat draw- anyone seen one?
Observe my reaching a 2-way draw, as Austria, with Germany:
http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=212705
I would consider that match a fairly high-level game, as far as that goes.
Interesting story, the German player was someone I had mentored!

All Diplomacy Scoring Stinks
Here's an interesting new article by BunnyGo!
It's amazing how just the one topic of scoring generates as much talk as any of the actual game concepts.

Re: ODC 2019 Tournament Start
I represented webDip. Home field home team!! I would like to learn more about DBN invitational. My AAR will be fairly limited. I'm working on a discussion of my unusual opening moves. And maybe I can write about how I did manage to come back a bit from 2 centers. That's something! Very fun match, ve...

Re: Winning as Russia in Gunboat
Hm. Betraying the trust of the one player who isn't betraying you is not so great a move no matter the power you have.

Diplomacy Dojo Ep. 1
So for the last 6 months to so, every Saturday, I have been getting on my Discord server and discussing Diplomacy with anybody who shows up for about an hour. We call this the Diplomacy Dojo. More than a couple of fans encouraged me to record these talks and make it into a podcast. So, I eventually ...

Re: Ghost Rating Challenge
@Yonni I am willing to play when "Media Wars" finishes. I am keeping another journal for that match (this time, a vlog!), so it is about twice as much effort (for me) as a normal press game. (Plus, the ODC finals is still ongoing.) When "Media Wars" ends, I'll play with you. It's hard to estimate wh...
