Waverly, perhaps you would be interested in joining me in the Thrull Battalion?
Yeah, but until they do, that’ll be a beatific smile on Abe Babe’s face. 
As France, I promise to taunt him furiously from a safe distance. 
I think it more likely that we will next meet in Avalon.
RT, does a beatific smile mean I look like Bea Arthur?
Waverly , Avalon? I don’t get it.
Forget the screaming. I give no one the satisfaction. If you didn’t want me to play, you should have just said so.
Yes, Avalon. Tis the destination of any righteous monarch upon being mortally wounded in honorable battle. I shall be borne on my final journey by four queens; and after fulfilling my sacred oath to return the sword of my office to Vivienne, shall be laid to rest on a golden bed in the shadow of the Chapel of Joseph of Arimathea. My wounds shall be tended by Morgan and the nine Fay of her sisterhood, and I shall weep for the sins of the world (read: the sins of Abe, Pucette, Clarissa, lno, and that Hungary person) until such time as I can return to my throne on the mortal plane.
No smilies were harmed in the spinning of this yarn.
Um, steeler, this thread is for good-natured taunting and trash talk. Do we all really have to start using those little smilies, or can you pull out your humor compass and take a bearing on where we’re coming from?
or did I just get whooshed?
Right, you’re correct. I won’t be back here.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains.
Austria’s a challenge to play, and you didn’t play it very well. (I would’ve said haven’t, but it sounds like you’ve abdicated in spirit, at least.) Sometimes you get killed no matter how well you play. That’s life on the Dip board.
If you’re going to get bent out of shape when you lose, it’s best not to play.
What do Freddie and the boys have to do with it?
You will not turn Le Morte d’Waverly into some cheesy rock musical, Mr. Chance.
I think Steeler and Abe are secretly aligned. Don’t fall for it, Celestina. snickers
I am completely new to this game, but it sounds fantastic. Is there a game I could join where my inexperience won’t ruin the fun for all concerned?
For those of you inclined to follow…
Fall 1903 in Dip 936 has been adjudicated.
The big dogs are starting to emerge here. Will the others respond? Only time will tell!
And for those of you following HYPERDIP. We had a winner today. You can follow the story at my site.
piaffe, the best thing I can tell you is to look for the announcement threads for new games. That or join Cat23. It’s an online community devoted to playing Diplomacy.
You only think you’re joking.
Robert DeNiro is producing a musical called We Will Rock You in London’s west end that draws exclusively from the music of Queen.
How 'bout them apples?
Actually, I had the thought of drag queens. Sort of a Priscilla, Queen of the Desert sort of thing.
I ASSUMED (most incorrectly at that) that this thread was about a new Diplomacy game that I couldn’t afford to get tempted into joining, and so I MISSED all this delightful Aberration banter.
Hmpf.
Math Geek: told you.
I bow before your superior prediction. I definitely didn’t anticipate England and Germany stabbing France and Russia in that game…odd.
Trust me.
I’d like to dedicate this golden oldie to Steelerphan:
