12 Sep 14 UTC	Spring, 1901: (Infinity1): hi
12 Sep 14 UTC	Spring, 1901: (cnorment14): hey
12 Sep 14 UTC	Spring, 1901: (cnorment14): Ok so I will be playing but you can ask me for advice during the game.
12 Sep 14 UTC	Spring, 1901: (cnorment14): starting advice ally people or at least start talking with other people. You will need allies to win this game
12 Sep 14 UTC	Spring, 1901: (boomsticky): You will also need to betray some if these people to get a step up, depending on your morals
12 Sep 14 UTC	Spring, 1901: (Infinity1): alrighty then
12 Sep 14 UTC	Spring, 1901: (cnorment14): Yes betraying people is fine and is expected. But for me I like to keep one ally throughout the game unless I see an opportunity to win
12 Sep 14 UTC	Spring, 1901: (SodomySeymour): i can't say i'm surprised that conway is the one who said to betray people
12 Sep 14 UTC	Spring, 1901: (boomsticky): Yeah. It's kinda come to bite me in the ass since many people attack me from the start. Moral if the story? Play smart. Chris has the right idea I try and team up with somebody and work together. It's worked quite well for the two of us.
12 Sep 14 UTC	Spring, 1901: (SodomySeymour): well for what it's worth jon bon said not to trust either of you
12 Sep 14 UTC	Spring, 1901: (boomsticky): Because I once convince JonBon and Delilah (nobles grad) to fight each other instead of me. I won that game.
12 Sep 14 UTC	Spring, 1901: (cnorment14): I have never betrayed jon bon
12 Sep 14 UTC	Spring, 1901: (cnorment14): he has betrayed me countless times
12 Sep 14 UTC	Spring, 1901: (boomsticky): delicious
12 Sep 14 UTC	Spring, 1901: (boomsticky): A finished game will usually look something like this http://www.vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=5357#gamePanel
12 Sep 14 UTC	Spring, 1901: (boomsticky): It's also worth noting some countries are easier than others. I've found that Turkey and maybe France to go pretty smoothly, while Germany and Austria are tougher due to their location. Countries are picked randomly, so you get what you get. I've also seen every country on this map win at least once, so it's not like you're completely fucked if you get a "harder" one.
12 Sep 14 UTC	Spring, 1901: (cnorment14): Austria is the hardest though
12 Sep 14 UTC	Spring, 1901: (boomsticky): It's tough, yeah, but I've won as Austria #humblebrag
12 Sep 14 UTC	Spring, 1901: (OliverBass): You're saying that Germany and Austria are the hardest because they are surrounded by other countries?
12 Sep 14 UTC	Spring, 1901: (cnorment14): Austria is hard for that reason yes. Germany has an escape towards the north though and has some easy grabs that make it much easier. England and Turkey are the easiest though russia is also easy
