Today on Mike: Chestnut Diplomacy 1901

Today is Wednesday. That means tomorrow night is Diplomacy night once again. At this point in the week I can hardly contain my excitement. I would have mentioned it last Thursday but I was considering mentioning at the same time how Grey's Anatomy was amazing, and take that you whiney faggots. That would have been a little rude, even for me, so I decided against it. Then I went and caused a whole boatload of drama and as a result I've been avoiding parts of the internet since.

Last week's round was a whole lot of fun. I was there early because I couldn't wait to start (which really shouldn't be a surprise). The one thing I learned last week is that human players tend to change their plans based on what's going on. This differs from the computer players I was used to playing against because computer players, after a certain point, get to be pretty predictable. It makes perfect sense, but it's something you forget about.

As a result I didn’t charge into Italy like I had planned. I had originally planned on moving an army into Rome on top of the Army in Naples (which is hard to explain, but was totally do-able at the time). Now as a result I'm down a supply center (Rome) and a whole year behind in advancing my plan.

This is what the map looks like in our "Winter" period before Spring and Fall 1902 which will be tomorrow. Expect an exciting update tomorrow.
