I am the G.O.A.T. of press - Any worthy challangers?

[Marnix_Verkammen]

Cowards!! over 1000 views and so few brave souls! You should be ashamed!
Are there no more?

I am by no means highly ranked, but if there is a spot available, and if the bet to join is not too high, I would be open to join as well! I need to attempt a real solo against you @Ginge after that last game

Ι will second that.

[Ferdack]

I rarely play press, but I am interested as well, provided that the phase length isn't too short.

I'm far too low ranked to be a contender, but I'll play as GPT-4 if allowed. I'll feed it the orders list each turn and let it make all the strategic decisions, I'll feed it the press and have it respond. When it's all over I'll post my full conversation with GPT for anyone interested. Let's see if the best of WebDip are ready for the robots.

That would be fun. However, we had something better, that you may be interested in. Have a look at

The most important list - The cowards that mouthed off and then refused to play.

Yours Truly
The Greatest Diplomacy Player Of All Time - GOAT!!

Gimix. Are you in?
Give you a chance to get some revenge for all that work I gave you recently?

What a change!

"But I am looking for top ranked players lol" --> "Waa, waa, play with me you coward! I'll cry some more if I don't get to play with a famously good Diplomacy player like JECE."

Goat,you know that ratings are deceiving, don't you?

Thankyou for using my correct pronouns
I disagree good sir

[Ginge86]

If a Moderator wants to help a GOAT out by posting a list of the top 50 press players, that would be awesome. Just saying!

Thank you for recalling this wonderful event, the highlight of my Diplomacy career. The esteemed Yonni was my teammate in that event, but I do not begrudge him going against this tiresome bore in this ersatz "World Cup."

[TheFlyingBoat]

Not only will I do that, but in addition I will move pawn to e4 and place a black stone on the 3-4 point in the upper right corner of the board.

A black stone? I haven't seen that in a long time.

I will move NAO to Spain (West Coast) and place a picture of Queen Victoria in Liverpool.

Lovely move in most cases, but this leaves you open to the the Sonne variation of the Lepanto! I convoy Portugal to Ruhr and by virtue of the successful en passant of ghug's corporeal army in Burgundy, I build ghost fleet Greece (south coast) as a bonus action.

You can play in the big boy game, ill message you soon, no need to thank me, your welcome.

[JECE]

I should frame this on a (virtual) wall. I think it's the first time that I've ever seen Octavious concede a point and admit that he was wrong.

I'll have you know I have admitted I'm wrong and you were right on every occasion it has been so.

If you were right more often you'd have noticed

Still need 2 victims

[Octavious]

Take careful note, gentlemen. Ginge has been carefully posting messages full of laughable grammatical errors and writing in the style of what can best be described as a "bit of a tit" in what is clearly an impressive attempt to make his true game persona harder to detect. I think we may well be in the presence of a master of deception. His only error being that he has played the role of utter numpty with too great an enthusiasm, and thus has sacrificed believability
