Thanks for a great game, everybody. I feel like this one really highlighted that Diplomacy is a game of tactics just as it is one of negotiation. The tactical battles between myself and Germany/Turkey were a real treat, and it was cool to be a part of the shifting dynamic of alliances that changed so much from 1901 from an AGR to an RTFE and finally to RFI against T. I'm a relatively new player and this game gave me some great experience. Hope to play with y'all again soon.
Cheers!-John C.

Hi everyone,

Peace reigns in Europe once more as the three-way FRT draw passes. Congratulations to Thomas, Andrew and John on taking a slice of a well-deserved draw.



This was a very interesting game and I've enjoyed GMing it - I hope you all enjoyed playing in it too. Please 'reply all' to this message with any end-of-game statements you'd like to make - this will ensure they get posted up to the Blitz messageboard for all to read.



Thanks for playing in this game - and thanks for taking part in this year's Blitz tournament. I hope you had fun. I also hope that you'll keep playing Diplomacy at the diplomaticcorp.com website. If you have time, I hope you will also consider being a GM in a game soon - our hobby can't work without GMs and we're always looking for people to volunteer. It isn't difficult.



All the best,

Jerome
