06 Oct 21 UTC	I'd like to take a moment to appreciate this game. In spite dragging out for nearly 3 months and having 10 different players, we never once had anybody go into CD. Italy- We had one heck of an alliance before I ultimately had to stab you. Without your aid against Poland, I think I would have been knocked out early. Honestly, I probably stabbed you a little late. With some different moves on each side, I think things could have gone wildly different. It was fun though, and you were truly a worthy adversary. Turkey- Sorry about screwing you over a tad in the early game. I had to fight for my table scraps to try and survive against Poland and Russia. If you're wondering why I kept you alive, it wasn't to torture you. While I had to obviously go through you quite early, ultimately I figured if I could get someone a survive and not have to kill them, then I would do so. Britain- We didn't really interact all to much, aside from me kicking you out of Scandinavia, briefly invading Ireland, trying to invade Northern Britain, and ultimately failing to use you as a defense against Italy. By the way, going into Iceland was 100% a mistake, I meant to order Ireland. However, I'm glad you survived this long. Egypt- I'm sorry things turned out the way they did. I was originally hoping to keep you alive in Saudi Arabia. However, you managed to hold out for quite a while, and once I blundered and lost Egypt, I decided that I couldn't afford to let you live with Italy being so close to a solo. Ultimately, if I had kept you alive in SA, then I think I would have had to draw since I wouldn't have a fleet in Red Sea. Well fought everyone. I made a lot of mistakes along the way, but it was a fun ride.

I would like to have seen what would have happened if Turkey hadn't stopped playing. I've honestly never seen that before, I've never seen a player sit there that long, especially when Ukraine had moved well away from Iran. Spain, you were relentless, gg Thanks to Britain, again, I thought we were drawing long ago but had to gobble you up when it wasn't going that way

07 Oct 21 UTC	ukraine, your right. i should have stayed in SA. not sure what i was thinging.
07 Oct 21 UTC	1. I'm of the mindset that the goal of diplomacy should always be to win, and that you should only draw if you stand no chance of winning. Nothing personal or anything, obviously, that's just how I learned to play diplomacy. 2. I don't know for sure why Turkey didn't move against me. If Turkey did move against me, unless he just took like 2-3 centers right at the end, then, Italy, you probably win because it would create holes in my defense. I figure Turkey recognized this and made a decision based upon that.
07 Oct 21 UTC	2. I suppose. If he moved then either you, the one who'd been holding him down, is forced into a draw...or you lose and he survives. I would imagine either would be more desirable...unless he developed Stockholm syndrome lol
07 Oct 21 UTC	Great game everyone. Not sure why you didnt settle for a 25-25-1-1-1 game instead of risking it all, but thats just me
07 Oct 21 UTC	Ukraine is strong!
11 Oct 21 UTC	GG. I wanted Italy to win once I realised I won't be able to hold against him with Britain biting my ass, but alas.
