Diplomatic Go 🗡 The Second Game

[Barbanaira]

The Cochineals have already invested too much in their new homeland. The vast plains of the Southeast, however, are almost untouched territory.

[martin3141]

The south-east is the territory of the alliance between Haze_with_a_Z and the Cochineal Cingdom. I do not want to start a counter-attack that will lead to even more war and destruction.

[Maharani]

Doesn’t look that bad for pink, I think.

[Barbanaira]

Yes, I’m happy we could all agree on what to do.

[Vsotvep]

In the absence of a move submission from @kingkaio, Round 6 will be extended 24 hours.

The new deadline is 2020-10-15T20:00:00Z.

[Vsotvep]

Join me in welcoming @Gia to the game, replacing @kingkaio, who has a busier schedule than allowable to continue this game.

As with the previous replacement, all private communication formerly had with kingkaio should now be available to Gia, or if this is not the case, please make sure that it will be.

Kingkaio has been added to the Kibitz Garden as well, so is no longer allowed to discuss the game with any of the players.

@yebellz

you can save links to all of the threads (including private message threads) that you wish to keep track of

I have an irrelevant question: does this show as a notification to the thread creator, like we get when we link threads to other threads? (where the link notification appears, that somebody linked that thread somewhere?)

Sorry for spamming here, I didn’t know if it warranted a separate thread.

[Vsotvep]

Nope. Anything you do in a PM, including tagging others, quoting others and linking others, is only visible to the members of the PM.

[Gia]

Well, our previous Diplomat returned for a short trip and had to stay. What can I say, family stuff is hard when everyone is plotting against everyone.

So, as the new representative of the Tomato Sovereign State, I would like to introduce you with our flag (we are high-tech, our flags are not the typical flat ones, we are vibrant people)

Our motto is “We go with everything” and we intend to mix with everyone for the best possible result.

I see we are in a bit of a pickle, so we might have to try to assert some dominance, but I would like to avoid conflict for as long as possible.

[Barbanaira]

Well well well, look who’s poppin up just when I thought this couldn’t get any more interesting! Welcome to the thunderdome!

[yebellz]

Well, well…

[martin3141]

Hello @Gia and welcome to the game!

@Vsotvep should we make an exception to the rule and extend the round one more time? I know we are already in overtime, but Gia hasn’t had much time to negotiate and decide on moves.

[Vsotvep]

If @Gia would like that, I see no problem with another extension

[Gia]

Thank you, but I am ready to attend the banquet.

Let’s see how welcoming everyone was and who moved in for the kill.

[antonTobi]

Maybe if you had control from the start of the game our nations could have lived peacefully side by side, but unfortunately your predecessor started the aggression from move 1

[Gia]

… Works in mysterious ways.

[yebellz]

@Gia

I am ready to attend the banquet.

Perhaps, others are also ready to eat

End of Round 6

PiggyStardust and martin3141 collided on their first choice, but both got to play their second choice. All other players played at their first choice.

Any player with no stones on the board is eliminated at the start of Round 7. Since all players enter round 7 with stones on the board, nobody is eliminated.
