And the big dogs both take a hit.
Woof.
Well, I’m circumcised, if that’s any help. 
Geesh, Italy is such a funny little country. What a weird position… you guys should have warned me.
Oh yeah, and also, YOU GUYS ARE SO SNEAKY! I can hardly keep up.
:Checks item off of list: You passed the JDT test.
Lessee here, do you know the secret aging ex-hippies in LA who created anime, and did you used to live in a particle accelerator?
Let it never be said that Diplomacy is boring. Or simple. How many variables do I have to consider before my next move? 14? 398? Yeesh.
Oh well, I shouldn’t have any trouble figuring out the math 
I know some guys who once tried to reduce the game to an equation. It was an enormous vector sum analysis.
Never worked though. It always pre-supposed that the other players would make rational moves.
How silly.
Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, a trio of good Dip quotes, starting with one from Bored of the Rings:
“While there was still a King at Ribroast, the boggies remained nominally his subjects, and to the last battle at Ribroast with the Slumlord of Borax, they sent some snipers, though who they sided with is unclear.”
And “a popular Maoist saying” from Doonesbury: “There is great disorder under heaven, and the situation is excellent.”
And finally, words to the failed diplomat:
You know the beat. 
shiver Chas. Enfante terrible and pathological liar. Let us never speak of him again.
Math Geek: You have been an outstanding ally, but it time for you to die. cue Bond-villian laughter
With Waverly deciding to open a two-front war and Weirddave trusting him again, I’m far from assuming that anyone is acting rationally
But still, there’s nothing wrong with a good tactical analysis.
Oh, and Waverly…you do realize the Bond villians always lose, don’t you?
At this point, Weirddave pretty much has to trust somebody.
And don’t forget, James Bond also always steals the villain’s hot girlfriend/pilot/fembot, or whatever.

What about the damsel in distress??? Shouldn’t the damsel in distress be rescued???
[Eddie Haskell]
“And might I say how lovely that distress looks on you, Mrs. Cleaver.”
[/Eddie Haskell]
I think all three of the damsels are in distress, but two of them are resisting my noble attempts at rescue by plotting against me. What’s a hero to do?
“Rescue”?
Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
Feh!
Orders for both 936 and 983 are due tomorrow morning at 7AM!
Don’t be late!
Lay on, MacDuff, and damned be he who first cries, “Hold, enough!”
…
Sorry, it just seemed appropriate.
Bah.
You want me dead and you know it.
Hey you crazy kids…
One of these days, I’ve got to play Austria, just for the challenge.
You seem to be managing.
Toldja before '02 began that I’d love to trade places with you. Not that I’m complaining about my own position, mind you, but that’s still true. You’ve got a great position.
I am beset by family medical problems. Last week, a nephew was born about two months premature, and yesterday my mother went into the hospital as the result of a severe asthma attack.
I have requested a ten-day delay from our honored gamemaster to allow me to deal with these problems. Unfortunately, while it appears that my nephew is close to being out of danger, my mother’s condition remains the same as when she went into the hospital - no better, no worse.
Accordingly, I am requesting a replacement for my (somewhat unenviable) role as Prime Minister of England. I want to make clear that, if no one wants to take on the role, I will continue after the 10-day postponement. I really don’t want to screw up the game for my fellow players. That being said, I would really appreciate someone stepping in for me.
