Re: Diplomacy
Indeed, I could push to 12 centers, although only 11 units actually (I could jump up four centers to 12, but only build 3 units that season).
It was fairly tempting, and I probably should have...

Re: Diplomacy
Yeah, my feeling from very early in the game was that England and France were basically allied and weren't going to break up, and it kept more or less looking to be true on the board....
But it...

Nice game all, even if it was kind of boring.
I wasn't thrilled to grab Turkey here, as I find it the least interesting spot to play. I at least had some nice early breaks, but the game was so...

Re: Diplomacy
I'm out--have a 3 week vacation planned in September and it doesn't make much sense to try and get a game like this in around that.
Even beyond that....I'd probably be out anyhow. I love...

Re: Diplomacy
I'd likely play another. I don't have any other games ongoing, and I am itching for a game where things actually go well for me early. I'm on a rough slump.

Those Final Years
I have two parts I want to address here, although they kind of link together. But it is the lack of a draw at the end of the game and the lack of communication at the end of the game.
I'm...

Re: Diplomacy
This is largely true. My favorite scoring system for Diplomacy tournaments is C-Diplo which awards 100 points for every game. If there is a solo victor, they get the full 100 points and nobody else...

I had peaked at the game multiple times and it was hard to say. I likely would have gone for the solo in France's shoes and probably been happy to take the draw in Englands, but it also would have...
