0	Italy	Germany!
Just the person I want to speak with. I have a somewhat crazy idea that I’ve always wanted to try with I/G, but I’ve never actually convinced the other guy to try it. And, what’s worse, it might make you suspicious of me.
So...do I suggest it?
I’m thinking that this is a low stakes game, not a tournament or anything, and an interesting and unusual move set might make it more fun? That’s my hope anyway.
What is your appetite like for unusual and crazy?	Truth	Truth
1	Germany	You’ve whet my appetite, Italy. What’s the suggestion?	Truth	Truth
2	Italy	Okay, don’t hate me! Key West (Just thought of the name lol)
Basic point is that I move to Tyr in Spring and into Mun in the Fall, while I take Tun with my fleet. I build A Ven/F Nap. You open to Ruh/Hol/Kie, and force Belgium. You wind up with 2 builds, and the sympathy and concern of your neighbors who are astonished at the crazy Italian. “What a stupid move, he can’t hold Munich!” Trap is set to obliterate France in the Spring of 02. Bel S Mun - Bur, Ven - Pie, Tun - WMed. France won’t see it coming, He will see that attack on Munich and think that both you and I will be occupied for a while. So Spring 02 should be a serious surprise.
Now, you’re taking risk here, because you’re giving up a home center for a turn hence the “Key”), but I think you can see pretty clearly that I derive no benefit from trying to double-cross you. After all, Italy trying to hold Munich is just dumb. I’m from a school of thought that even trying to move to Munich is just dumb. But this would be the one exception. I can’t hold Munich, and even if I wanted to, it would give me an awkward snake formation in the middle of the board that is a great way to be first eliminated. So I think this works because you know (even more than Austria in a traditional Key Lepanto), that I’m not going to stab you. And doing it this way allows us to take Burgundy by surprise, it ensures you get Belgium, and it crushes your biggest rival and toughest border (France). Plus, it’ll be fun. The Key West!

3	Germany	It seems like there are a lot of ways that could go wrong...I don’t see why France would see you approaching/taking Munich–while I do nothing about it–and not immediately feel skittish	Truth	Truth
4	Italy	Yeah, I can't say I've tried it and it works, cause I've never tried it or seen it. But how I think it would work is (a) my Spring move looks like an attack on Austria, so it would not be surprising if you did not cover Munich. Then (b) you build two armies, which looks like we're really at war and you're going to eject me. Then we launch the attack in Spring. So there is really no part of this that would raise alarm bells with France.
All that said, I've literally never done it before, and it does involve risk for you, so I'm not offended or concerned if it's just not for you. I'm happy to play more conventionally too. Up to you.	Truth	None
5	Italy	I am just sensing that you don't like this idea, so shall we talk about something else? That was just a crazy idea I've always wanted to try. I'm happy to play more conservatively.	Truth	None
6	Italy	Any thoughts?	Truth	None
7	Germany	Sorry Italy I've been away doing, um, German things. Brewing Lagers?	Truth	Truth
8	Germany	I don't think I'm ready to go for that idea, however I'd be down for some good ol'-fashioned Austria-kicking?	Truth	Lie
9	Italy	I am pretty conflicted about whether to guess that you were telling the truth or lying about the "brewing lagers" thing. I am going to take it literally and say thumbs down even though I don't think you meant it deceptively.	Truth	Truth
10	Italy	But I think I can get over "Lagergate" and we can still be friends.
As of right now, I think Austria may be my most reliable ally. I'm thinking I'd like to play as a Central Trio if you have any interest in that. Thoughts?	Truth	Truth
11	Germany	We haven't even passed a season yet and you have a 'most reliable ally'?
I'll consider this proposal but, basically, I'm not going to expose myself to risk from either of you until I've seen a bit of your behavior	Truth	Truth
12	Italy	Well, at least I have an idea of who to trust. Obviously, my ideas are subject to change.
I understand your desire to watch behavior before committing to anything. I, personally, am a partner player. I look carefully early in the game for a small group to work with, and then I value loyalty and collaboration. I like to work closely with a tight-knit alliance.
If you prefer to hop and back and forth, or play more of an individual game, then we might not be a good match.
I'm looking for a loyal ally or two that I can coordinate with and make awesome moves with. Makes the game easier and a lot more fun.	Truth	Truth
13	Italy	Just an FYI: I've now had both England and France suggest to me that I should move to Tyrolia and France will support me to Munich in the Fall. One saying that to me is not a big deal, but with both mentioning it, my alarm bells are going off. I am concerned about an E/F. I'm certainly not moving to Tyrolia. But I just want you to be cautious here. I feel like England and France are working together.	Truth	Truth
14	Germany	I appreciate the tip, but I'm wondering why you're so against ousting me from Munich if I haven't explicitly agreed to be your ally?	Truth	Truth
15	Italy	Because it is terrible, terrible play for Italy to attack Germany, in my view. If I were to attack you in Munich, I could never hold Munich. So, all I would be doing is weakening you, and helping France, England, or both to get really big. I don't have any long-term path going north. Helping France to take you down is a sucker's play, whether you are working with me or not.	Truth	None
16	Italy	Did France tell you he was moving to Burgundy, or was that a stab?	Truth	Truth
17	Germany	I was not informed of it, no. And England is leading me to believe it's part of a play for Belgium, so if they're working together this might be a trick... Italy, you seem like a straight shooter, and Austria has confirmed with me about your two's alliance. So I'll confide in you–this is my first ever game of diplomacy, and I think that teaming up with the two of you could help me learn more and have more fun. So, if you're still interested in a central powers alliance, I'm in.	Truth	Truth
18	Germany	Okay full disclosure: I'm not very smart, and I accidentally let slip to England that you told me France was plotting to take Munich. I'm sorry for the error but I figured it was better to admit it so you know that England/France may not trust you.	Truth	Truth
19	Italy	Okay, thanks for telling me.	Truth	Truth
20	Germany	So, um, no alliance then?	Truth	Truth
21	Italy	I do want to be allies. Sorry, busy weekend here running around with bambinos. More to come.	Truth	Truth
22	Germany	What would you think of helping me take Marseilles in two turns?	Truth	Truth
23	Italy	Hi Germany, I'll certainly consider that. Though, I'll note: traditionally, Germany would help Italy to Mar-seilles if the two of them work together there. The reason is that: if I help you to Marseilles, I'm basically cut off from going west and getting anything myself. So, usually, Germany would help Italy into Marseilles to encourage Italy to come west and Germany would plan to take Paris, Belgium and Brest.	Truth	Truth
24	Germany	Fair enough-I'll help you take it, then, but I'll need to deal with Belgium first.	Truth	Truth
25	Italy	How are things going with England? I think that getting him to work with you is the main key here.	Truth	Truth
26	Germany	I'm trying-I just offered to assist with taking Sweden in exchange for some assistance into Belgium...not sure if they'll go for it...	Truth	Truth
27	Italy	I'll check with England and try to see where his head is at.	Truth	Truth
28	Germany	I've actually been thinking about this game all day and have come up with a plan I like a bit better... but England still hasn't responded to my initial offer.	Truth	None
29	Italy	That's the worst! And I'm glad to see you're so focused on this in your first game. It's a really great game if you put in the time and effort!	Truth	Truth
30	Germany	You're definitely telling the truth on that one. So can I count on you to move to piedmont this season?	Truth	Truth
31	Italy	I don't think I can afford to move to Piedmont this season. I don't really trust Austria to avoid walking through that door if I leave it wide open. I think you need to get England on board to attack France.	Truth	Truth
32	Germany	That's valid. And actually I was conferring with England and we concluded that it's not really gonna be possible for me to help you take Marseilles this year anyway...what are you and Austria planning for this year, then? I'm willing to tell you my plans in exchange as a gesture of trust. Have you communicated at all with England or France?	Truth	Truth
33	Italy	Hi, are you there? Just woke up. England did return my message, but he did not tell me anything substantive so I really don't know what he's doing. I'm planning to move towards Turkey.	Truth	Truth
34	Italy	Well, you're in trouble. That England move is trouble. I'm going to try to convince him to change course. I suggest you be very kind to him, and don't burn that bridge. I think your game hinges on turning England around.	Truth	Truth
35	Italy	Hi Germany, I'm working hard on turning England. And I'm also trying to get Russia to come to your aid. Doing the best I can! I'll keep you posted.	Truth	Truth
36	Germany	England just told me that Russia is helping them to take Denmark so that may be a lost cause. Granted, the source for that intel is a serpentine jackal-spawn	Truth	Truth
37	Italy	Okay, I'm reasonably sure that England wants to take the Channel and attack France now. I believe that you should basically do whatever England asks to help make this happen. As long as E attacks F, you will be in a much better position, and you'll gain back centers quickly. What are you hearing?	Truth	Truth
38	Germany	What are your plans for this turn? I can't help but notice that Munich is surrounded by foreign armies on three sides... I wish I could be more helpful but I'm pretty much just treading water right now trying not to lose anything else	Truth	Truth
39	Italy	Hey — sorry, just getting back into this now.	Truth	Truth
40	Italy	I have good news! (1) I am finally attacking France this turn. (2) I will be supporting Munich to hold from Tyrolia. Let's turn this game around, yes?	Truth	Truth
41	Italy	I am pretty sure that England is not attacking you this turn. And I am committed to supporting Munich holding. Make sure you don't move Munich so that it can take my support.	Truth	Truth
42	Germany	Okay, can do. Thanks!	Truth	Truth
43	Italy	I suggest that you order: Kiel Support Berlin holding Berlin Support Munich holding Helg to Holland Munich Support Berlin holding	Truth	Truth
44	Germany	I agree completely—although I didn't know that a country could hold *and* support at the same time! Thanks!	Truth	Truth
45	Germany	Thanks Italy. Hope you're enjoying the weather on the Anatolian	Truth	Truth
46	Italy	I will be supporting Munich to hold again. And I'll be trying to get Russia to back off your flank and protect himself against an Austrian stab that is coming.	Truth	None
47	Italy	Two bits of advice: #1 I suggest you tell Russia that Austria is coming for him. You really want Russia to move Sil back to Gal. You might also suggest to Russia that is he supports you to Denmark, you will then support Russia back to Sweden. I don't know yet if it actually makes sense to do that, but you want Russia thinking that you are eager to work with him. He'll be hoping for a reason to break off his attack on you at this point.	Truth	None
48	Italy	#2 Here is the move set I would suggest right now: Kiel Support Holland holding Holland Support Wales to Belgium (tell England you are going to order this support and he can take it or leave it) Munich Support Berlin holding Berlin Support Munich holding I think that both France and Russia are about to back off you, as they are both under fire at home. Just hold still, and soon you should be able to break out of this holding pattern.	Truth	None
49	Germany	God, I hope so! I'm attempting to make that deal with russia now...and I'm talking with England re: Belgium	Truth	Truth
50	Italy	It's none of my business, but if you do plan to take Denmark, I strongly recommend you wait until Fall. I think the most important thing for you right now is getting England fully committed against France. If that happens, taking Denmark later will be easy.	Truth	Truth
51	Germany	I think me and England are really on the same page at this point regarding France. I'm actually sort of running counter-intelligence for England (and my friends to the south, of course!) with Russia right now. England and I talked about Denmark too...and it seems like one or the other of Denmark or Belgium should work out for me this year and I'm fine with that	Truth	Truth
52	Italy	Great to hear. Thank you.	Truth	Truth
53	Germany	Do you need me to disrupt Bur this year? I'll need to seriously trust Russia if I'm going to risk not holding my eastern front, I think...	Truth	Truth
54	Italy	I do think a move to Burgundy makes sense for you this turn, and I can't imagine Russia attacking you here. He has a serious Austria problem. I suggest this: Mun - Bur Ruh - Bel Hol Support Ruh - Bel Ber - Kie Tell Russia that the last thing in the world you want to see is Austria run him over, and you're willing to help keep Russia viable if necessary (you're angling for Russia to disband his northern holdings this turn).	Truth	Truth
55	Italy	And ask England nicely to support Ruh - Hol, with the explanation that you don't plan to ask for Denmark back, but you think it would help you both to diminish France. (You'll get Den back eventually, but you want England to think you don't care about it).	Truth	Truth
56	Germany	Thanks, I'll work on these. ...Why didn't you scooch into the Aegean behind Austria? You could have defended or even held Bulgaria this turn?	Truth	Truth
57	Germany	England and I were talking about your moves for this season-what do you think of conveying Pie into Spa, supporting this with Wes, and then moving Tyr into Pie?	Truth	Truth
58	Germany	This leaves Marseilles open for Bur to fall into if France goes that route, which gives me an opening into Bur	Truth	Truth
59	Italy	That's not bad.	Truth	Truth
60	Italy	I was kind of thinking I should pick one or the other of Marseilles or Spain to attack and not tell a soul which one I'm going after.	Truth	Truth
61	Italy	Do you really think it's important to coordinate?	Truth	Truth
62	Italy	I do think you're best off moving to Burgundy. And there is some chance that we fail this turn. But I think we just take a guess and hope for the best. We'll get him next turn if not this one.	Truth	Truth
63	Germany	Okay—sorry for being nosy! I will try for bur on the off chance it shakes out that way	Truth	Truth
64	Italy	Nah, you're not being nosy at all. I mean, come on, we both know that I have no problem sticking my nose where it doesn't belong.	Truth	Truth
65	Germany	Marked as true	Truth	Truth
66	Italy	I like to coordinate, but on these sort of 50/50 guesses, I kind of like to keep it secret so that if it doesn't go well, I have nobody to blame but myself.	Truth	Truth
67	Italy	Ha!	Truth	Truth
68	Germany	Well, are you willing to humor my question about the Aegean, anyway?	Truth	Truth
69	Italy	Sure. I was thinking of moving that fleet to Ionian. You think a move to Aegean is better? I'm not really sure, but let's talk it through.	Truth	Truth
70	Germany	No sorry I meant in hindsight—like this past turn you should have moved to Aeg so that this current turn, when Austria takes Rumania (from Bulgaria), you'd be there to cover Bulgaria so it couldn't get scooped by the Black sea, and potentially you'd just get to take it.	Truth	Truth
71	Italy	Not a bad point. I agree.	Truth	Truth
72	Italy	Hmmm, kind of a pointless lie if you ask me, but I won't hold it against you. You're in a tough spot.	Truth	Truth
73	Germany	um what lie? I did exactly the moves you suggested!	Truth	Truth
74	Italy	Ha! So sorry!! I meant that for France!	Truth	Truth
75	Italy	You are my favorite.	Truth	Lie
76	Germany	Marked as lie because clearly austria is your favorite. Speaking of, I assume that your seizing Trieste was mutually agreed upon?	Truth	Truth
77	Italy	Yes — agreed upon.	Truth	Truth
78	Germany	That's not what Austria said to England...	Truth	Truth
79	Italy	Hmmm, okay. Well, let's just keep that between you and me then.	Truth	Truth
80	Germany	You know Italy, I think we *do* need to coordinate your move this time-England and I have a shot at either Bur or Mao if one of Marseilles or Spain can be left open for France to fall into. This will improve all of our chances of crushing France quickly.	Truth	Truth
81	Italy	Okay, I can dig it. What do you want me to do?	Truth	Truth
82	Germany	Let me confer with England and get back to you. Glad to hear that though!	Truth	Truth
83	Italy	So...any thoughts on how to approach this?	Truth	Truth
84	Germany	It looks like England's not willing to try for MAO if it means possibly losing the channel. However, they'll bring the NWG fleet around to try for MAO next year. So if you could keep Marseilles open, it will help me to try and take Burgundy this turn.	Truth	Truth
85	Italy	If I leave Marseilles open, would you kindly use Burgundy in the Fall to help me take Marseilles? (Likely that means ordering Burgundy to Gascony to cut support)	Truth	Truth
86	Germany	Will do.	Truth	Truth
87	Germany	Okay, so I still have a teensy little bone to pick with you: on the off-chance that Austria wasn't lying and you *did* take Trieste unexpectedly, I sort of worry that I might be next. Are you willing to tell me what your plans are for the Tri unit, or at least to warn me before any move into Tyrolia?	Truth	Truth
88	Italy	Sure. But, you'll see from my moves this turn that Austria is lying to you.	Truth	Truth
89	Italy	I currently have Tri - Tyrolia. I like the unit there because it sets up an attack on Austria if I ever want to go that route (build A Ven and go east). Do you want me to keep Tyrolia clear?	Truth	Truth
90	Italy	I'll add — I would never attack Germany as Italy. Setting myself as a giant column like that is just not defensible. It would be a terrible move.	Truth	Truth
91	Germany	Not when that column is not-so-giant and in a turf war with France.	Truth	Truth
92	Germany	oh you mean setting *yourself*	Truth	Truth
93	Germany	But you could easily pick off, say, Munich and not be a "giant column"	Truth	Truth
94	Italy	I mean this sincerely: any Germany who does that is a terrible player. Why would I do that? I would need 2-3 units to hold one center. That is a net negative. And all of your units are doing things that are good for me in containing your neighbors. I've been working hard in this game for you to succeed and knock back France and England. I can say with 100% certainty: I'm not going to attack you. I'm going to keep helping you as much as I can.	Truth	Truth
95	Italy	That said, if you want me NOT to move to Tyrolia, I won't move there.	Truth	Truth
96	Germany	Nah, I just needed some reassurance :) Your logic is undeniable—enjoy your stay in tyr!	Truth	Truth
97	Germany	*undeniable? That looks better	Truth	Truth
98	Italy	I mean it sincerely. I think that England will want to coax me to attack you with him after France falls, but I'd much rather work with you against England.
But first thing's first — let's get rid of France.	Truth	Truth
99	Germany	Agreed	Truth	Truth
100	Germany	(On the france part)	Truth	Truth
101	Germany	Sorry I won't be able to cut off Gascony this turn...I probably should have just told you my moves; you could have advised me that supporting Mun-Bur was more important than Kie-Ruh	Truth	Truth
102	Italy	No worries. We'll crack this but eventually.
Here is my suggestion for this turn: Kie - Den Hol S Bel holding Bel S Ruh - Bur Mun S Ruh - Bur Ruh - Bur	Truth	Truth
103	Italy	I think you should suggest to England that he gets Sweden and St Petersburg, while you get Denmark back. That's only fair, as you have been a loyal ally in the fight against France and you plan to continue to do that.	Truth	Truth
104	Germany	The moves I had already planned differ in one respect: I thought it would be worth the risk to try moving Hol-Bel and therefore move Bel-Bur. Even if me and France are high-fiving in Bel for a few seasons it's still mine, and it's not like Holland has anything better to do while I'm still allies with England.
...The only reason I'm reluctant to make that agreement with England is that—while I think *you* and I have a good relationship—I really have not talked with Austria much at all, and I'm the next logical target for them when Russia's gone. And anything that's bad for Russia right now is good for Austria.	Truth	Truth
105	Italy	Hmmm, I'm just not sure you should trust England enough right now to leave Holland open and Belgium essentially unguarded.
France is a really good player, and he is no doubt working hard to get England to turn on you. My personal take is that you are better off being a bit more conservative until you have Denmark back and England has moved another fleet towards France. But I can see it either way.	Truth	Truth
