I had a lot of help by a lot of people, mostly inadvertently, but that's the way it always is with any solo, with correct play, no one would ever solo.

A triumph of the colouring in philosophy of diplomacy
Be careful, though. Such instincts have cost far more solos then they have delivered

Well, no, surely he's technically correct?
If everyone always made perfect moves, the game would tend towards a stalemate.

Did everyone just agree to let you solo this way?

No, it was a gunboat game, and at least 1 of us was annoyed at having to play a ton of extra turns for no reason.

Perfect moves are not always available, and tendencies are not absolutes.
The play philosophies of the players will also have an impact.
