Kibitz for Diplomatic Go: The First Game

[KAOSkonfused]

Sure - I just wanted to copy out things to comment on.

@martin3141

Great, now le_4TC is comfortably in the lead. I don’t see a way to change that anymore.

I see that as an attempt to get other players focused on le_4TC.

@李建澔2

Some has to capture my stone.I will have to make a move on eye spaces.

Vagabond 李建澔2 does not seem to understand how important he is as an ally.

@martin3141

I have some experience in diplomatic multiplayer games, sort of similar to this one. Once there are people who feel like they have no chance of winning anymore (especially if they cannot resign), they often act as “Kingmakers”, helping change the outcome of the game in favor of one person or the other. Because that way, at least you impact the outcome of the game.

I believe that Haze and 李建澔2 probably feel that way, and I am starting to feel that way as well.

I hope, now Vagabond gets it.
martin3141’s last sentence is imho pure tactic, not what he really thinks. He still has a very strong position.

@Vsotvep

Who knows, perhaps 5 players on a 9x9 board will turn out to always be a draw?

Good initiation of negotiations between the three strongest players.
I’m curious how this will end, and I’m sure that from now on the diplomatic relations alone will decide the game.
