I often wonder who the "most famous" user amongst us is. Does Timothee Chalamet play Web Dip?

On the box of my Diplomacy game, it said Diplomacy was a favorite in the JFK Whitehouse.

I wonder if there's a closet in the White House with an old Diplomacy board collecting dust

On the note of famous diplomacy players in general though…(taken from Wikipedia article on diplomacy the board game under reception)
In its catalog, Avalon Hill advertised Diplomacy as the favorite game of John F. Kennedy. Gyles Brandreth, in the UK magazine Games & Puzzles claimed Diplomacy was Henry Kissinger's favorite game. American broadcast journalist Walter Cronkite is reported to have been a fan of the game. Michael Portillo, British journalist, broadcaster, and former Member of Parliament and cabinet minister, is known to have played the game while studying at Harrow County School for Boys.

The former leader of the British Liberal Democrats, Jo Swindon, was a keen diplomacy player... but I've no idea whether she had an account here. Lower down the political scale there were various councillors who were members here, one in particular being silenced and suspended by the mods on a regular basis. Oh, there was also a fairly high ranking member of the Tory political campaign team who was a member years ago.

For the most part I think famous people tend to enjoy a bit of anonymity

Putin's not been here for 8 years??? That can't be right. I'd have said 2 or 3 at most... Just before when it feels covid must have started
