Congrats to ali on their solo!! http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=237243

I believe we've got TWO games left... :O
"Their"? Is he a hive mind or something?

In English, it's common usage to use their when you don' t know the gender of the person spoken about.
I don't think it is that common usage (I had never heard of it before). If I had done this in an essay at high school or at university it would have been marked as incorrect. It appears to be a recent change. e.g. look at a website from a decade ago saying how it is incorrect:

https://www.agriculture.purdue.edu/agco ... r_trap.htm

Or another website:

Associated Press only changed their style guidelines to allow it in limited cases in 2017:

After taking look at a few opinions I don't have a real objection to the change though.

No, the first ODC was 2015, the last one was 2017.
The last ODC held on webdip was 2015. The 2017 one was held on Playdip and run partially by carebear though I think he vanished partway through.

The last ODC was in 2015? It seems like yesterday.

There have been two previous ODC tournaments, the first held here and the second at Playdip.

The Playdip one was actually had two people finish on top. Bravo Papa Alpha, who I believe is a Playdipper, and Lebigmac, who is primarily a face to face player but has a presence on Playdip.

As with all diplomacy tournaments, no one actually remembers who won aside from the winners themselves and those who almost won. But the records are around if you know where to look.

Is the ODC considered the World Championship of "Online" Diplomacy??

Who are the previous year's winners?

Sorry for the delay folks! I'm just trying to make sure I don't accidentally exclude anyone. I expect game invites to go out this weekend.
Looking forward to kick off! If you need any suggestions of those you could intentionally exclude then please PM :-D There’s a few tough opponents on that master list I read who really don’t want to participate, I’m sure.
...Says the solo king!
