[QUOTE=Book Monster] Yeah, looks like someone either trusts someone implicitly, or someone has been telling someone else a few fibs… 🙂 [/QUOTE] Indeed. See, if I’d been allowed to play, this sort of chicanery wouldn’t have happened… I’m honest and forthright.\* Also, some pretty bold moves from Italy there… nothing like being threatening towards both Germany AND Austria right off the bat. heheh… \*not actually honest and forthright, your mileage may vary, not available in all areas, erections that last longer than 4 hours should be bragged about. ---

[QUOTE=treis] That Turkey is sneaky. I’m gonna keep my eye on him: :dubious: [/QUOTE] I agree. That’s a very sneaky move he pulled. I should be wary of him, and I’m on the far end of the board. ---

[QUOTE=garius] Its only a shopping trip - we’re out of caviar. [/QUOTE] I’d offer you some champagne to go with the caviar – but I fear your invasion of Sev is really a cover for your true plan to convoy Smyrna - Brest. ---

[QUOTE=Tristan] There is that, I suppose. Before my psuedo-vacation, we had about 4 folks who were waiting for a game. Any takers? C’mon, you know you want to play! [/QUOTE] I am enthusiastic. And also down, as the kids say. ---

I’m in the Werewolf game right now, but at such time that I’m not I’d definitely like to play some Diplomacy. I used to play a lot in high school, but that was a while ago now. ---

Hey, just letting you guys know–my webmail interface to my e-mail account appears to be down, and I can’t access my e-mail from here at work. So I won’t be responding to any new threats, proposed nefarious plots, or underhanded trickery until late this evening … ---

In the words of Willy from The Simpsons, “Oy, I’m bad at this!” Although I gotta say, I am having a blast. I’m sure most of you saw Turkey’s doublecrossing me coming from a mile away, but this is my first game so it took me by surprise. I assumed alliances lasted at least 2 years or so. I won’t make the same mistake again. I’ve also noticed alot better moves I could have made on the northern front. I didn’t even notice that Norway was connected to one of my territories, or that there was a northern sea up there. Ah well, such is the price of learning. ---

> [@Tristan](#): > > Yay! I think I’ve still got the old e-mail listing as well. > > We only need ONE MORE PLAYER!!! > > I’m begging… someone… please! ONE MORE PLAYER??? Sounds good enough to me. I’ll join…if you dare. ---

So, for another game, we’ve got myself, **aclubs, Rifleman23,** , and… Someone replied to my mass mailing, but I don’t know who for sure? ---

I would be in for playing another game at the same time as the first one, if I can use another e-mail address so I don’t accidentally get them mixed up. I think SD poster **Alistair McCello** wanted in also… ---

Awesome. Keep it coming folks! **Mr. Chance** , you want me to gather e-mail addresses, or should folks just drop a line to you? ---

I’d like to be in a game, and I’ve sent an e-mail to Chance. Lordy, I haven’t played since college. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anyone-up-for-a-game-of-diplomacy/386533.md?page=4) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anyone-up-for-a-game-of-diplomacy/386533.md?page=6)
