Diplomatic Go 🗡 The Second Game

[Old_but_gold]

Maybe we could give @Maharani another 12 hours and then consider it a pass?

[Haze_with_a_Z]

well like what if I don’t remember to check within 12hrs? Im kinda worried now since I am checking now that I will forget tmr. glgl on elections tonight too here.

[Vsotvep]

The next round would also take 36 hours.

[martin3141]

I want to remind everybody that changing the submitted moves is allowed within the time frame of a round. In order to keep the game going I recommend submitting moves early on, then change them later if necessary.

[Vsotvep]

I got reply from @Leira, who is willing to substitute. Could everyone who is in a private conversation with @Maharani add @Leira to their conversations?

@Maharani will be added to the Kibitz Garden, and thus is no longer allowed to discuss the game with any of the players.

We will progress to the next round 2020-11-04T21:00:00Z.

[Maharani]

Sorry everybody, and thank you Leira for taking over. <3

End of Round 16

@PiggyStardust and @yebellz both collided with a preexisting stone for their first move. @PiggyStardust managed to place their stone at their second choice, while @yebellz collided again, with the stone placed by @Sanonius as a first choice, but managed to place their third choice.

The only “old” group of stones without liberties is @martin3141’s group around C3, which will be removed from the board. Because of this, the three “new” groups of stones at C1, D2 and E3 gain at least one liberty, thus remain on the board.

Any player with 4 stones or less on the board is eliminated at the start of Round 17.
All players enter Round 17 with at least 5 stones, therefore nobody is not eliminated.

Player	1st move	2nd move	3rd move
@le_4TC	N5
@PiggyStardust	B4	E3
@martin3141	B1
@Sanonius	C1
@Haze_with_a_Z	K3
@yebellz	F4	C1	D2
@Leira	G12

Round 17

In order not to be eliminated at the start of next round, a player needs 6 or more stones on the board.

[yebellz]

Finally the silent destroyer talks

We do what we must to keep the peace

[antonTobi]

Such needless violence

[Old_but_gold]

@martin3141

true colors

The colours of the truthful ones:

Alas, violence calls violence.

[martin3141]

I attacked neither PiggyStardust nor Yebellz this game. I do not know their reasons for helping Sanonius hurt me like this, but I believe this shows clearly what their intentions are. They don’t care about peace or justice. I advise everyone who believes in these players lies to reconsider.

[Old_but_gold]

You did plan to betray me after I helped you though. A sin is not forgiven out of its failed accomplishment.

[martin3141]

That is a straight up lie. The intention behind my verbal exchange was merely to get insights in yebellz plans.

PiggyStardust, we had an agreement on how to share the territory on the lower-left corner. I did not play there for multiple moves and was true to my word. Don’t try to justify your actions with feeble excuses. It makes me sad that you would go this far just for a little bit of personal profit, when you already have so much territory in the upper-left.

[Old_but_gold]

And a fair moment thou chosest to get these insights, for thy dagger was still warm with the fiendish bugcat’s blood, and yet already pointed at my trusting back.
This very propitious moment made thee thinke that the time had come to prove yebellz’ amitie, not before.

No, my friend, thou art the lying knave. And not a salamander, but a serpent instead should lie, like thee, in thy filthy standards.

[martin3141]

I hope you are happy PiggyStardust. You may win this game but you just lost a friend.

[Old_but_gold]

Like Othello did.

[Old_but_gold]

Ok, since things seem to be this serious, maybe we should excuse martin from the game and find a substitute, if so he wishes.

If this is the impact the game has on him, I don’t think anybody expects his commitment until the very end anyway.

[Vsotvep]

Another… substitute…

You’re talking like it’s easy to find them ><

[bugcat]

You could always offer the position back up to Gia. Or Sanonius, if things take the worst turn for our great nation~

[Old_but_gold]

You’re right Vsotvep, I noticed that. Sorry about it and thanks for the efforts you made to find the others

It was just a proposal anyway.
