who did you stab
France?
then no that was a bad stab but it worked out fine because it countered his

Yeah, I've had an alliance with France since 1901

well its just bad for the both of you from my point of view

So you're saying that because my move was broadcast rather obviously the turn before, he could see me coming and prevent an effective stab? But I am in an appropriate position to drive a semi-stalemate with France now?

How would you reccommend working myself out of this?

the point is that it doesn't matter at this point the best stargety is work together and get past the stab anc contain italy and then you have a chance at draw

Italy is already my ally... I want France's centers, but I need to work around the bottleneck tactically.

...Do you think Italy is likely to turn traitor?

If italy is in his right mind he will later if not now

I disagree; Italy is far too entangled with Turkey in the southeast; In a quick stab he might be able to take Vienna, but I think I'll be able to hold him off if he does.

Besides, it'd be lame if I was stabbed by the same guy twice in one game...

figure it out on your own man

I love how denis comes to spout his wisdom.

Is he any good, Geo?

I'm okay but not to good at winning haha

You shouldn't really discuss games in progress

Triskelli: This is a game-in-progress. You shouldn't encourage comments in the forums about games that have not ended. That said,

denis, it does not look like a mutual stab at all.

You're right, it would be lame for you to open yourself up to a second stab from the same person...

were you I probably would have supported Russia against turkey by now, (to have an ally in the east to use against italy) or finished off russia + england before stabbing france (and possibly waiting until france had fleets in the med (far away from you)

Italy should be done with turkey fairly fast (unless they start working together) and considering how well austria was dismantled i'd say italy will be a major threat.

Wow....I am really surprised at the veterans of this site that are commenting on an ongoing game. Poor form, guys.

I've resisted Spell, not everyone posts - think how many others have read this and *not* commented! ("Nice" points value btw, 4567)

Thanks...just won a 1400 total pot game...so Ia few more of those and......

* so a few more of those and..... (fill in blank---I am thinking "King of the World" :))

TH simple answer to me is that you shouldn't have stabbed.
England still wasn't down and you could have taken more in Russia.
