Board 8 > Diplomacy General Discussion Topic - The new era of virtual face-to-face play

(+) Yeah! (+)

:( wish I could play but my job has completely fucked my life with my schedule

How casual are these tournaments? Like are they taken really seriously?

Now that's I'm gainfully employed again maybe it's time to brush off the ol' diplomancy. I still don't know how to play tactically, though. The one tournament I entered was simultaneously pretty chill and went until midnight because one guy would rather die irl than draw

A managed a whopping 2 supply centers through three rounds at Carnage. Had a lot of fun though, third round was kinda crap though tbh, a couple annoying situations with repeat neighbors.

The silver lining:

- In my 3 games, players who attacked me had a 0% board top rate (they may have topped in other rounds, but not in the round they attacked me)

- In overall results, none of the players who attacked me made the top board

So basically I prevented all my attackers from succeeding. Moral victory.

Sometimes thats all you need

VDL games next weekend

:( have fun

---

I need a good result to have a shot at the top board

VDL needs a replacement right now if anyone is around

---

also, I very much should not be playing

and Im very much playing in the afternoon game >__>

---

I had one really perplexing elimination and one middling survival. Second board was a lot of fun players though and we wrapped it up pretty quickly. Had a fun but long day and not quite the results I was looking for. One more chance to qualify for the top board

I had my first encounter with John Jameson

I hope its my last
