@Haze_with_a_Z placed their first stone at an already existing stone and has instead played their second choice. All others have succeeded in playing their first choice. @Gia’s group at M10 is the only group without liberties, and thus is removed from the board.
Any player with 1 stone or less on the board is eliminated at the start of Round 10.
Since all players enter round 10 with at least 2 stones, nobody is eliminated.
1.) I am not very sociable and bad at communicating without stepping on anybody’s toes.
2.) Playing Diplomatic Go without having any allies is very stresssful for me.
3.) I enjoy the intrigue of backstabbing and drama. This has led me to make some bad decisions.
I intend to stop communicating with people in this game. I will continue submitting moves though, until I am eliminated. I’m telling you in advance so nobody wonders why I don’t answer anymore. It seems like talking has hurt me this game, has taken a lot of my time IRL and is making me very invested and stressed out about this game.
I still love you all and wish you good luck and lots of fun.
All players succeeded in playing their first choice.
@Haze_with_a_Z’s stone at M7 and @PiggyStardust’s stone at D2 are the only two stones without liberties and therefore are removed.

I haven’t yet, but I intend to make one soon. There haven’t been anything particularly interesting for me to comment on with regards to my own diplomacy, but I might say something about my thoughts on the position in general.
I think this would be an interesting little experiment: Disregarding diplomatic considerations up until this point and also strength considerations (assume that 8 random new players continue the game from tomorrow, knowing nothing about the history up until this point except the current board position), which color do you think is the most likely to win?
White
Yellow
Orange
Red
Pink
Blue
Light blue
Green
