Derphammering is when quickhammers go derp.

Faust has also been incredibly stubborn this game. In other news, it's hot in the summer, and water falls from the sky when it rains.

green and white aren't too unfamiliar, it's the red that's super out of place.

Yeah, Shraeye definitely has priority over any other repeat player since he hosted the last.

The others though, they're on their own. :P However, I'll happily run two games if we have the interest for it - although I don't know if we do. Filling Dip2 took a long time. We've grown though, so I'll happily be wrong!

That reminds me, I should post my QT link in Dip2 with Jimmm, because he and I discussed some edge-cases (well, kind of. But you saw an example RE: Berlin in the final year).

Yeah, I'm probably not going to /in. I think I'm going to need to watch a game before I can play.

But there are two completed ones...naw, I'll just watch how this one plays out.

I was looking at things for a while trying to see if there was a way for people to rally against Galz in the last game, and hold him at 17 centers, even if Germany decided to gift Warsaw to the Turkish Empire.  I think there was, but I'm not a complete expert in stalemate lines.

I'm familiar with that line... and it might have been possible, but it was going to be tough if it was - only because I had a troop positioning advantage at that point. England was too Fleet heavy to hold it - I *think*.

I've personally always been a classic player. However JDIP supports many different varieties.

I've played a few. Cambridge University Diplomacy Society got a variable number of players to its weekly meetings, so many variants were played.

Behold the variant I created.
