Sorry to be a bother, but in the future could we get maps with the province names? If it's all convenient, it makes submitting orders so much easier for me.

If you want to send me confessionals by PM with your thoughts and plans and impressions, I will share them with the hordes of viewers and put them in a doc and you'll be able to see them after the game. That'd be nice.

Super interesting analysis, I was definitely looking at the board in a very different light. Are spectator posts common in Diplomacy games?

You vastly overestimate me.

I've seen them often enough here on SA, though I'm not sure Pintrest wants me coloring people's decisions. Not sure where viewers would be able to go see your own confessionals, but in the older versions of the hobby in fanzines you'd see analysis and after-action reports all the time. There's tons of neat analysis out there, the game's older and was more popular than you'd think based on its relative obscurity today. I'd love to hear how you were seeing the board, but that'd be tipping your hand to the other players.

At least someone knows what's going on, even if it's someone who isn't playing

I dunno, a rich tapestry of other people's opinions creating a hell of a lot of paranoia might be amusing.

I've only played diplomacy once, and I steamrolled everyone as Russia, but that was more due to luck than skill - strategyposts like Triskelli's are really, really interesting to me. And since it's people I know playing, I'm invested in the outcome so I'd actually keep tabs on it

I wish this game had something like Power Behind the Throne in Solium Infernum, where if you guess the winner at the beginning of the game, you win instead. Man now I want to play Solium Infernum. Although given how long turns take here I imagine we'd finish a SI game shortly before the Big Game Queue is implemented.

I mean don't get me wrong, I'd love to give a yearly analysis if people enjoy it, but I just want to preface further discussion by saying my opinions are more based on decades-old strategy articles than on a wealth of practical experience.

Two hours to get your moves in! Viewers: I'll get a Google doc set up where we can talk/comment about the game privately as soon as I have the time - probably tomorrow.

I don't think there was enough communication that turn. Or, perhaps too much communication. I have to say I didn't expect the board to split down the middle by 1902.
