Player evals: Emperor Franz Joseph I ( Napoleon Bonaparte): You tried, but you're still a dip novice. You grasp moves well, but still struggle with the fluid nature of alliances. I suggest you try a corner power, since those stabs are harder to come by there. Your short temper need also be restrained: we cannot have a player ragequit in the face of a stab (and such player could NEVER be a GM) Emperor Charles I ( Desophaeus): Thanks for helping me out. You grasp Dip well. Such a shame you disappeared. Herbert Henry Asquith ( Frederick the Great): You're getting better all the time. Maybe you could try a power other than Britain, to broaden your horizons. Well done, though Raymond Poincaré ( Pierre-Charles Villeneuve): You disappeared from the game. Not tolerating you in my games again Georges Clemenceau ( Tariq ibn Ziyad): Good effort, but need to learn. I feel like you don't have a solid grasp of how the different phases work, or of supply centers. I suggest you try to learn that. Kaiser Wilhelm II ( GA Omar Bradley): You quit randomly. 'nuff said Paul von Hindenburg ( Laurent de Gouvion): Faced with impossible odds, you put up a last stand and survived. Formidable player King Victor Emmanuel III ( Stonewall Jackson): Like Tariq ibn Ziyad, you are a novice. You have much to learn, but you have a promising future. Tsar Nicholas II ( Quintus Fabius): Unlike many other players, you play ruthlessly: You break the alliances made to be broken. In a dip player, that is highly admirable. Vladimir Ilyich Lenin ( best75): You do need some work, but reading a few Dip Articles is all you need. Solid grasp of gameplay Sultan Mehmed V ( Der Kaiserreich): In Dip02, you learned to play. In Dip03, you became a good player. Forging one permanent ally, and working with or against many others, you played the board well. Your near-victory is well-earned. |

Will say my last words here regarding all of you. Will edit this. Edit. England (England, Frederick the Great) played brilliant! Your ideas of "I'm just eating the coasts" worked well! Your getting better at this. France (Frankreich Tariq ibn Ziyad) you survived but had you known the moves you could've lived longer. Italy (Italien Stonewall Jackson) the way you dispatched me help in the sea while sacrificing your build, I will not easily forget it. Which was the only reason I never took Venice. Germany (Deutschland GA Omar Bradley) we both are new at this, your reinforcement was not well-timed but it did delay the Russians. Turkey (Türkiye Der Kaiserreich) well played! And even though I knew you were going to ROFLstomp me I still wanted peace, which obviously. Never happened. Russia (Russland Quintus Fabius) Rumania never forget! Lol you were going good until you left. Desophaeus, whom i asked what to do when I was stuck. Gave me decent help. Also made a last ditch attempt to get Venice but it didn't help. Never had any contact with best75 and Laurent de Gouvion. And lastly Jean-Luc Picard for hosting this game. It was a fun game and yes I have carefully read what you wrote. |

Firstly, Jean-Luc Picard , thank you for being our GM! I understand it is not easy and time consuming to compile all of our orders. Napoleon Bonaparte, you were actually not bad. But similar to France, you had a misfortune of hostile neighbours and allies who can't help. Desophaeus, you tried. It could have went better, but well done. Quintus Fabius, you are an experienced player, ruthless, untrustworthy (  ) but someone who knows whats better for him. best75, picking off from Quintus Fabius , you did as much as I could have done if I were you. Well done. Stonewall Jackson , you were very silent, and spoke only when you needed to. I can see you tried, but circumstances were not favourable for you. GA Omar Bradley , I did not see you progress much before you got kicked out. Again, unfriendly neighbours. Laurent de Gouvion, picking off from GA Omar Bradley, you did what you could. Good job. Tariq ibn Ziyad, like Napoleon Bonaparte, had the misfortune of having hostile neighbours. Great job putting up a last stand. Frederick the Great, you have improved a lot since last game. You have learnt what to do, who to befriend, and yet at the same time, from what I know of you, honest. A well-deserved win for you. |

This game doesn't look too bad. Maybe I'll read up on it and the previous ones. I might take part in one of them in the future.

There's a lot of backstabbing, but gameplay is more solidly developed than TW, and the only luck element is what other players do (and even that isn't really luck, it's the result of negotiations or lack thereof). |

I never did it in the TW's, but backstabbing crosses my mind often in these games. I guess I'll fit right in |

You needed allies nearer to you. England, Germany, or even Italy are good partners for France, but not Austria, Russia, or Turkey |

I had my fair share of alliances, primarily with England and Austria, but like many of you said, I was silent. Do to the reason that the semester at my school is coming to an end and I have been studying non-stop for my exams, I honestly lost interest in this due to me not having the time.
I have played MANY online Dip games, but never as Italy. This was a new experiment for me playing as a novice country that I have had zero experience with. My main problem was not taking Greece in the beginning, which in turn allowed Turkey to plow right through me.... a fatal blunder. All in all, I will make sure not to choose Italy again! And play as the countries I juggernaut in

My turn now.  Der Kaiserreich , you did very well and I think you could possibly have won in the end if we continued if my plans for the future failed. You were definitely scary to watch as you ate up the East. Quintus Fabius , you did well until you left but I think Turkey would have won the inevitable war between you two. best75 , you did well when you picked up Russia and I'm pleased that you honoured the agreement I had made with the previous Russian player even though you weren't the one to broker the deal. Napoleon Bonaparte , you fought well but were in a difficult position especially since your ally, Germany didn't provide much help. It would have been better if you had of fought to the death insead of conceding but I can understand why you did. Tariq ibn Ziyad , you were resilient I'll give you that much. GA Omar Bradley, you were my ally though we didn't have much to do with each other aside from negotiating borders. I did backstab you and I think that was part of why you left. For what it's worth I'm sorry. Backstabbing isn't easy for me as some of the people I've played Diplomacy and the TW's with know but I didn't see a choice as it was better (for me) to take as much from Germany as I could instead of letting Russia eat all of Germany. Again, it would have been more sporting had you have stayed. Stonewall Jackson , you were my ally from pretty much day one and remained loyal which I am grateful for. You also provided support that was vital for beating France. I admire that you stayed in the game even when the Italian Peninsular was lost. I wish we had time to carry out our plans of re-conquering it. And last but definitely not least, Jean-Luc Picard , you ran this game well and I look forward to playing with/against/in your game again. |
