I had a lot of help by a lot of people, mostly inadvertently, but that's the way it always is with any solo, with correct play, no one would ever solo.

A triumph of the colouring in philosophy of diplomacy :razz:

Be careful, though. Such instincts have cost far more solos then they have delivered

I disagree with that.

Well, no, surely he's technically correct?

If everyone always made perfect moves, the game would tend towards a stalemate.

No, it was a gunboat game, and at least 1 of us was annoyed at having to play a ton of extra turns for no reason.

Perfect moves are not always available, and tendencies are not absolutes.

The play philosophies of the players will also have an impact.
