Best Of?
I've been getting into the game a lot more recently and was wondering if there was any sort of listing of great or best games of Diplomacy. Games with great strategy, alliances, backstabs, drama, that kind of stuff.

In lue of that post your favorite or best games here. I'm up for reading some good stories.

Drinking healthy
I'm quite a balanced eater, so it's not exactly vital, but apart from water, it seems like almost every drink is unhealthy for your body or teeth in some way. Of course, I could just make sure I vary enough, and I do, but I still think it's good to know what's actually healthy rather than "not that bad".

I absolutely don't have to worry about too much calories, btw. I'm talking about the other stuff.

Does this game have to be cancelled?
Hi. I'm currently in this game in which we had 3 people get banned. There haven't been any moves made yet and it is still in spring 1901. So if we were able to fill the positions, 1 of which has been filled already, would we be allowed to continue? Here's a link to the game.

Need a replacement Texas in Full Press Anon WTA, low stakes game.
Texas was banned, and without a replacement it's going to be a very one-sided game.

The Favorite Author Tournament: The Round of 32
And here we go, into Round 2, with Shakespeare being out due to his losing again...because he's the master of tragedy, of course! ;) Will there be literary superstars? Yes! Will there be a glut of sci fi and fantasy writers? Yes! Will Thucy continue push a #ThoreauLaozi2016 platform (Change We Can Believe In...except change is just a natural process and you must learn to accept it like the good little Transcendentalist that you are!) YES! ;) 32 authors, 1 goal...whatever that is.

Well, anyway, Tolkien wins, despite this...coalition...thing...

So, last match of the Round of 32, which of course means...

Heeeeeeere's Vergil! lol

The Original Rock Star, Lord Byron, couldn't beat him...

Can Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson crack the case on how to do so?

Vergil vs. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and sorry, I love Holmes/Watson too much NOT to vote for Conan Doyle, even though Vergil's far more important.

Conan Doyle: 1
Vergil: 0

#TeamCoco (whoops, wrong Conan.)

"See your enemies crushed before you, and hear the lamentations of--"

Whoops, ALSO the wrong Conan!

"What is the meaning of it, Watson? said Holmes solemnly as he laid down the paper. "What object is served by this circle of misery and violence and fear? It must tend to some end, or else our universe is ruled by chance, which is unthinkable. But what end? There is the great standing perennial problem to which human reason is as far from an answer as ever.”

THERE we go! :)

From "The Adventure of the Cardboard Box," my favorite long Holmes quote, and incidentally, the last lines of the last episode of the Granada Sherlock Holmes series that Jeremy Brett ever did, dying shortly after finishing that episode.

Doyle.

No matter how simple a game seems, you can always trust a Diplomacy player to come up with some way to manipulate it beyond what was intended by the creator.

Hence the bloc voting.

I'm not saying it's surprising, Obiwan, but would I be correct in assuming that you initially intended for people to just vote for their favourites, even if you knew that bloc voting would likely occur eventually?

Also, I don't think the presence of voting automatically makes this a political process.

The Last Man in Europe...Or, Rather, China
http://news.yahoo.com/25-years-tiananmen-barely-known-china-youth-064659528.html That's honestly very depressing...It was 1989...but its treatment is not too far from "1984." And THIS is why I have such a hard time sympathizing with those shouting "Wake the Fuck Up," as if disagreement over America's future was the equivalent to being asleep at the wheel. Neither Bush nor Obama were the tyrants the Michael Moores and Glenn Becks call them out to be...THIS is The Party incarnate...

Lil' bit of French
I want to know how to say this in French:
"(I would like to reserve the spot) in the period from 16 July to 6 August."
That might not even be a proper English sentence, but you probably get what I mean. I just need to make clear in which period, and I don't know how.
Monday morning I'm handing in a letter in which I need that sentence, so there's no rush.
