This is why I think they should wait until at least the day before the debate to set the lineup of the debates.

Welp, IranSailorGate 2016 lasted for all of about 12 hours. The sailors and their two small craft have been released by the Iranians, and apparently the boats they're using are standard tech, so there's nothing the Iranians would have gained from looking at them.


And suddenly all that Republican chatter about this being a sign of Obama's "weakness" has dissipated, like a fart in the wind. "Iran who? Oh, I hadn't even heard anything about that..."

DIPLOMACY, BITCHES. It's how shit gets done.

You can't call the other guy a bitch in diplomacy, they usually get angry

If you're Russia and you're calling Germany a bitch, it could be a good strategy, arguably. Either they'll laugh it off, and focus their defensive lines towards Austria-Hungary and France, allowing you to swoop in and grab Scandinavia, or they come at you, opening themselves up to attack from the rear, while fighting a land war in Russia, which, as we all know, is a terrible idea. If you ally with the Ottomans, Austria-Hungary will rush Germany's ass, allowing the Ottomans to grab Greece and the territories north of it.
We should play Diplomacy on the forums sometime.

That's not a bad idea, though I wonder who would be able to recover from Russia's starting psychological handicap of being too fucking big

Easy, get Sergarr or Comrade P. They'd be immune to the effects, being already Russified.

Actually, that would be amusing to play a round of Diplomacy with players from the countries they're playing.

Russified.
I've been reading homebrewed Elder Evils, so my first reaction to this word was thinking of Russia as a homogenizing swarm. Putin is slowly assimilating the minds of all humanity in to one, perfect, Russian whole.

... perhaps related, remember when michigan politicians managed to give most of a city lead poisoning?

The national guard has been called in to help administer aid. Part of me wonders how snyder and co. have managed to not get shot by this point :-\

Would y'all prefer it on the forums in FG&RP or through a web-application, in Play-With-Your-Buddies? I'm feeling FGRP, but it's up to y'all.
