Diplomatic Go 🗡 The Second Game

[Vsotvep]

I discovered that in my summary of the rules I stated you need N/2 - 3 stones at the start of round N, while the actual rules stated you need x/2 - 3 stones after x rounds (i.e. x opportunities to place a stone). These two are different, since at the start of round N there have been N-1 opportunities to place a stone.

I have therefore decided to change the summary and keep the formulation in the actual rules. This means, as discussed above, that players need 1 stone or more at the end of rounds 7 and 8 / at the start of rounds 8 and 9; players need 2 stones or more at the end of rounds 9 and 10 / at the start of rounds 10 and 11, and so on.

Sorry for the confusion!

End of Round 8

@le_4TC and @Gia submitted the exact same three moves in the same order, and thus collided with each other on all of their moves and failed to place a stone this round. All other players succeeded in playing their first choice.

Any player with no stones on the board is eliminated at the start of Round 9.
Since all players enter round 9 with stones on the board, nobody is eliminated.
