lol... well I think John has a point (I guess no one wanted to win a game designed to be won).
 
I enjoyed reading Germanys end game.. I think I was outplayed to be honest.. kudos to Russia for some excellent tactics.
Thanks go to France who I really got on well with.. in another game we could be excellent allies.
I quite enjoyed chatting to Germany.. but as you say our aims were never aligned for long enough.. but if our paths cross again I think we have enough common ground to establish some rapport.
As for the rest of you I didnt really get to chat to you much but there was no one I didnt like.. Thanks to the GM(s) who kept the game smooth and I hope to see you all again another day.

Hi there,
Personally, I do not think that a three-way draw is anything to be congratulated for, if that three-way draw is negotiated from early in the game. Call me old-fashioned, but a three-way draw should be something one is forced into, otherwise it is just the refuge of players who know they are not good enough to win on their own and will do anything rather than be eliminated. It is boring Diplomacy for the faint of heart.
