Hmm, question for the thread. As I was quickly tossing up the opening moves, I wondered how much of a run down I should be writing in the update posts. Is it obvious from the board moves what is going on? Is it worth my repeating? Should I offer speculation? Is my speculation worth anything considering I am also in the game and it may all be a clever ploy to further deceive the players in the thread?

Some true moral quandaries are arising...

I'm just peanut gallery but I've always liked seeing discussion of moves and potential future developments in these kinds of threads.

I was in the process of writing up some commentary of my own but it was just coming across as inane sportscaster stuff, so meh.

I can't help but feel that Italy has made a deal with the Devil and is about to get pitchforked.

Turkey's about to go play in the open Iberian. They won't be next out, but I think this is where it all goes wrong for the UK.

I'm wondering if all the thread talk about an English steamroll didn't spook somebody - either England getting paranoid about a triple alliance against it, or Germany switching sides for the promise of a 2-player draw.

If A-H manages to connive their way back into their home territories and start building again it will be the best goddamn thing to happen all game.

Used to play this in high school, ~20 years ago, probably logged abt 100 games- we would name each game after a historical or news figure afterwards, and the one I remember most clearly is Linda Tripp, in which Russia won by hiding a tape recorder in a walk-in closet we used for conferences

Reminder that we all thought this was hilarious.
