[QUOTE=SCSimmons] That is interesting. I have to wonder what Turkey was thinking … [/QUOTE] It’s either very, very foolish or very, very clever, and as a by no means disinterested party, I shall be watching developments carefully. :dubious: ---

Gah! I didn’t put my own build on my board! :smack: Not that I had much I could have done with the army in Budapest if I’d remembered I had it anyway. Except maybe stab Turkey. But the time for that is not yet … Um, I mean, Turkey is my staunchest ally! ---

That’s some crazy schtuff going on in Adams. ---

Wow, Germany stabs Russia. What great mind could have possibly seen that coming? ---

Well, a Russia who knew he couldn’t prevent it, for one. ---

Is “Zotti” a no-press game? If not the inability of Austria and Russia to cooperate in getting a unit into Rumania seems very puzzling. At least you won’t have to worry about the Juggernaut in this game… Hmm next game I might just decide to join y’all… ---

A bit of a power shift all of a sudden. ---

[QUOTE=John DiFool] Is “Zotti” a no-press game? If not the inability of Austria and Russia to cooperate in getting a unit into Rumania seems very puzzling. At least you won’t have to worry about the Juggernaut in this game… [/QUOTE] It’s been more of a nonpublic-press game. We haven’t been using this thread any bit close to the public commentary I’ve seen in past SDMB Diplomacy games. (Maybe we should start.) ---

The public-press-only games are the riotest ones-everyone has to talk in front of everyone else (on their honor). ---

Resurrecting the discussion thread for game Zotti, all I’d like to say is: OUCH! Those knives HURT! ---

I’d like to chime in to say, in Adams, “Remembering the support/break support rules correctly is important when you’re trying to make a sweeping four-army movement.” I feel somehow violated. ---

Howdy all, Per the Powers that Be, we currently have a waiting list for games of this type. (Mafia/Werewolf/Diplomacy/Haggle/etc.) Closing this thread, please contact me via PM or email to get added to the waiting list. I’ll be happy to reopen this thread if needs be but closing for clarity at this point. ---

I’m re-opening this thread. I have no issue with **fluiddruid** ’s closing (and do appreciate the help), but I feel **Jonathan Chance** ’s comment on how slowly this thread grows–and thus not a great big sucker-upper of screen real estate or server resources–is accurate. That, and it appears to be discussion of a game and not a game itself (which is being hosted on **Jonathan Chance** ’s system). So, have at it. ---
