I think Turkey may have ended up on the wrong side of a Janissary arrangement.

Once the game is over, I will gladly show anyone the coversation Turkey and I had.

Ok now I'm sure there is some multi-accounting going on here.

Suspicious? I think so.

What's a Janissary arrangement?

Also, I don't think they're multiaccounts - Turkey is simply...dumb. Acheron, it doesn't matter if you reveal the conversations now since Turkey is going to die anyways and no one can prevent it - so why don't you post the conversations?

Janissary is where a weak country is basically "front line soldiers" for a strong one. They help prevent standoffs, and are allowed to keep 2-3 supply centers as they move forward. It is usually used with Turkey as the stronger power, when Austria or Italy is about to die.

Janissary basically means a power who doesn't have as good access to an area drives a weakened power in front of him, taking one of that player's old SCs each time the prisoner-player gets a new one. In exchange, the Janissary almost certainly get a Survive or a Draw.

Oh. Hey. Thanks, rratclif.

But yeah, if Russia decided to get Turkey going through to Austria and/or Italy, that would've made sense, but since that didn't appear to have happened at all...

If you want to start pointing fingers for whatever reason you can think of, jeesh, I could just as easily point one at you.

Why would you point out how many builds I get? That makes no sense, except to maybe get people to ally against me, but then YOU have more SCs than I do. Oh, wait, look...Turkey responded one minute after you and just happens to support your crazy theory that he is my multi-account. Coincedence? I hope not.

Furthermore, I am your major opponent in this game, so it would benefit you more than I to have a multi-account there and in an alliance with me so that you could stab me easily later-on.

Now, I'm not saying you and crashnct are in fact multis, jeesh, I'm just using this argument as an example to show that your claims don't hold a lot of water. This is Diplomacy. Stabs are going to happen, and the people who get stabbed aren't always going to see it coming, so just because Turkey didn't move to counter my stab doesn't mean we are the same person.
