Hello there! What's your general plan for this game? My inclination when I play Austria is to piss off as few people as possible, so I don't plan on making any overtly aggressive moves this turn.
Hi Austria. Nice to meet you, and looking forward to playing as your neighbor. 

Hmmmm, I hate playing as Italy. I rarely succeed. Frankly, I’ve recently tried early attacks on Austria, as Italy, AND IT KEEPS TURNING OUT POORLY. I’d really like to play this one as a tight-knit Central Trio if you have any appetite for that. Not sure if I should set up a Lepanto or go west, but I’d be happy to hear your thoughts on it.
That sounds good to me. I think probably what would work best is if you and Germany go west while Turkey and I contain and/or eat Russia, then once I've picked up some Russian dots and gotten some good position, you split your fleets to help me take Turkey and help Germany take England.
I like that. Let me talk it over with Germany.
I’m not sure whether Germany is keen on attacking France. Perhaps you and I should focus on Turkey?
Output: Yeah, honestly, the more I think about it, the more I think it'll just be easier to wipe turkey off the map really quickly. I've done it in tourneys a few times before and it just makes everything simpler.
Buongiorno! 
Be kinda nice to know if you're looking to move in a direction  I might be interested in participating in.  I fully understand if it's too early to know, just know that channels and minds are both open .
Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen Wintergreen. 

I’m not writing to anyone else until I get things squared away with you. I LOVE the Wintergreen alliance. It works in the short-term (we only need to get A/T to fight) and it works in the long-term (resolves East before West, and we can’t really stab each other). Can we do this?

I don’t care if we target T first or A first. I’ll let you decide. But I want to work as your partner. I am just hoping that you’re brilliant and fun too!

I literally will not message anyone else until you and I have a plan. I want it to be clear to you that you’re the ally I want.
Well, Italy and France are, in my opinion, some of the best possible partners for Russia, so how could I possibly turn down such enthusiastic overtures from one of them?
Lovely. Would you rather we target Turkey first or Austria? I’m okay either way.
To be perfectly honest, that's hard to say right now, since the decision doesn't really affect my opening moves any (the standard southern opening spring moves are equally useful against either one), and I'd likely need to adjust based on what else happens on the Spring turn.  Easiest just to say I'm opening South, flexibly considering the follow-through against either one of them.
Output: Okay. Fair enough. One reason it might matter is because I could open with an aggressive attack on Austria if you want to blitz him quickly (e.g., DMZ Gal and then break it). Or you could organize a bounce in Gal and then not move there. On the other hand, if you’d prefer to take out Turkey first, I could go the standard Lepanto route. I’m happy to go either way, but I’d really like to coordinate with you if you’re game.

Maybe we both need a fuller picture of what is happening first. I’ll begin to reach out to others now.
Hello Italy what’s up what are your thoughts on austria and France?
Hi Turkey! I’m sorry that I’ve been so slow to get in touch. Kind of a rough day for me to begin a game as I e been pretty swamped. Things are clearing up now, and I appreciate you reaching out to me. 

So far I have notes from Austria and Russia being pretty cagey and non-committal. Perhaps that is just the life of Italy? Nobody really has me in their plans?

I don’t really know what I’m going to do yet, so if you have ideas, or you have a use for me, please let me know. I’d basically be delighted to work with anyone who really wants to work with me. (No sign yet that this includes anyone at all)
Hey Turkey — any interest in working together? I’m trying to think of ideas, but I’d just like to know first if you have interest, and then we can work out a plan if you do.
Any thoughts, Turkey?
Sure we can work together austria would be the most likely candidate for us to maul
Output: Well, here is a thought: any chance you would support my army to Greece?

If you’d like to work together against Austria, I think a great move would be to ask Austria to support you to Rum, and then support my army to Greece instead. 

If you are game to do that, I’d be happy to take down Austria with you and work with you moving forward. 

Thoughts?
Hello! Thoughts on how you like to play as Italy?
Hi France!

Well, I generally don’t like to play as Italy at all, frankly. But when I do, I go east. Not sure whether I’ll head towards Turkey or Austria, but I think the one big advantage that you and I both have is that we have a mutual border that is easy to keep clear. 

I’m not moving west. It takes forever to get there, and there are rarely centers there for me when I arrive. I hope you feel the same way about moving towards me. 

I’d like to keep our border clear and I’d like to act as “trio wires” for each other. Basically, if either Germany or England want to attack you, I expect they’ll mention something to me, and if you’ll look out for me diplomatically, I’ll give you a head’s up if ever you need to worry. 

How do you like to play France?
I'm happy to hear that! I have the same opinion when it comes down to our relationship. I prefer to play France decisevely in the West when an opportunity presents itself. Since that opportunity might not present itself for a long time, I often times end up playing a bit more reactively.

I'd love to be trio wires. I've heard from everyone in the east, but not much substance, which probably means a bunch of passive openings.  If there's little fighting between the Eastern powers it might make it tougher for us, so hopefully things will shake up a bit in that department. If you are also finding that there isn't a whole lot of commitment going on there, and you have some interest in an unorthodox play, then maybe there is some potential for us to work together directly.
Yeah, everyone is cagey and conservative, at least in words. If you have thoughts on something unorthodox, I love that kind of plan, so I’d love to hear it.
Ha — I meant “trip wire” above. That should make more sense.
Output: But I appreciate that you also agreed to be “trio wires.” 🤣
Hello there! What's your general plan for this game? My inclination when I play Austria is to piss off as few people as possible, so I don't plan on making any overtly aggressive moves this turn.
I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes just yet, either. Specifically, I'm happy to keep Bohemia and Tyrolia de-militarized for at least a couple seasons to our mutual benefit?
Sounds good to me.
I appreciate you sticking to your word. Italy tells me you two are close allies and might be willing to consider me a third central power. I wanted to hear your thoughts on this?
Absolutely true, I think the three of us could do great things together.
Output: I'm starting to agree
G'day!  Just wanted to check in, assure you I'm not the sort to pull a Crazy Ivan off the bat and try to shove all my units through Sil/Pru from the start.  Aside from that, I'd of course love to be able to pick up Sweden, and if there's anything particular we can discuss to stay at least positively-neutral toward each other, let me know!
Privyet--I won't trouble you in Sweden or Sil/Pru if you don't trouble me in Denmark. Meanwhile, I was wondering if you agree with me that this game has just a little too much Austria in it?
That sounds fair enough - and I'll pretty much always agree that there should generally only be one Germany, unified.
Are you nervous at all about defending Sweden from England?
Of course I am -it's just not my top concern. 😀
Output: well no kidding: you and Turkey have quite a little spat going. Was just curious if you and England had any kind of agreement in place or if you might be wanting my help in a couple seasons
Guten Tag! Wanted to touch base about your plans for this year.
your destruction, mostly. but plans can change
Nobody makes it far without friends in this game. I suppose you're hoping to be friends with France then?
I don't consider it wise to put stock in any friendship until it's proven. However, I tend to trust people more if they are willing to give me some information before asking it from me
Well, that makes two of us then. You're welcome to ask a specific question if you have one though.
Output: Alright then. What are your plans for the North Sea these days?
Hey there. What are your thoughts on an anti-English opening, like a sea lion, as Germany? If you enjoy something like that then we might make good allies.
Bonjour--not sure what a 'sea lion' is!
It's when a lion is stranded at sea, like in the life of pi.
That was a tiger. Let me know what you'd like me to do--I imagine it involves letting you take Belgium?
Good point. Sea tiger sounds more menacing anyway. 

It all depends on how you like to play Germany and your relationship with Russia. I can be flexible, and if it makes sense for me to have Belgium to set up for a future play then that is good with me.
Output: Admittedly, I've never played this game before! Don't go spreading that around
Hello there! What's your general plan for this game? My inclination when I play Austria is to piss off as few people as possible, so I don't plan on making any overtly aggressive moves this turn.
Hey hey!  
Don't really have much of a plan yet - like you, I generally try not to piss off too many people at the start until I get a feel for the lay of the board, so my general decision at start is really just Mos -> Ukr|StP .  Right now my default inclination is to go Ukr and try to get Rum, that may change as I talk to other players.  Happy to talk about trying to take that with fleet or army depending on how spring goes, and certainly not looking to commit to any particular long-term growth direction right now.  That being said, A/R is one of my favorite duos (R/F is up there too, but I don't think I've ever even seriously tried to pull that off in an online game - that's a FtF option where I know the players 😃 ).  
I'm assuming standard Galicia bounce right now. happy to discuss other options.
Yeah, I was figuring standard Galicia bounce too. Keeps both of us honest.
So, here's my pitch: I have been on both sides of the deal when Austria, Italy, and Russia decide that everything would be simpler if there wasn't a Turkey. Every time, things have indeed been simpler for A/I/R. So, whaddya think? Wanna simplify our game?
I literally just told Italy to go after Turkey first. 😀
Output: Oh, fwiw, I'd just as well neither of us tried for Galicia this turn, if you don't mind.
Hi England! I don't think we really have anything to talk about yet, but, best of luck!
Hi Austria! Agreed there's not a ton to talk about in the short term,. I'd would like to ask, though, how relations with russia and germany are looking for you.
And best of luck to you as well!
Haven't heard from either of them yet, but when I do, I'll let you know.
Sounds good!
Output: So you built F LON and France built F BRE, eh? Trouble in paradise?
Hello there! What's your general plan for this game? My inclination when I play Austria is to piss off as few people as possible, so I don't plan on making any overtly aggressive moves this turn.
I suggest containment of Russia at the very least and perhaps his destruction
That certainly sounds just fine to me. I think Turkey and Austria can make for a very good alliance - you build a bunch of fleets, I build a bunch of armies, and we crush a bunch of dots.
Ok lets roll I’ll go north for the opening
If you want to contain Russia I am willing to support you into rum if you want to wait that’s ok too
Output: I'd love the support, thanks.
Hi France! I don't think we have a ton to talk about yet, but if you're planning to go in against Italy that's certainly something I'd like to know.
Thanks for reaching out. How do you generally feel about working with Italy?
If Italy wants it, it can be a powerful alliance, but in my experience Italy rarely wants it badly enough.
That's true, and my experience as well. It's tricky since if he's not going after me or yoy, then what are his plans? If Italy isn't planning to Lepanto then it is worrying for one of us
Well I haven't heard *too* much from Italy yet, but once I find out more about his current intentions I will certainly let you know.
Output: Nice, things are looking up for you with the Russia/Turkey conflict and a seemingly friendly Italy.
Good morning!  Best of luck to you, and let me know how we can best avoid any unnecessary and unproductive entanglements.  😃
Best of luck to you as well! I'm likely opening north and I have my eye on Norway for the fall. However, this may be dependent on some discussion with France. Can I ask where you're planning to send your Moscow army this Spring?
My initial inclination is to focus on the South.  I do have to weigh that over concerns of you opening full north, but hopefully we can stay on the same page.  I am of course much happier if you indicate you're going to put a fleet in Nwy.
That's fair enough. I'm talking to France now about Belgium, as my army is pretty useless just hanging around the island. I can't commit to leaving my army off of Nwy just yet. Let me get back to you when I hear from France about Belgium.
Sounds great.  Good luck in your French negotiations!
Output: Belgium definitely on the table but still not confirmed. Germany is acting like a big hot-head btw. Threatening war from the outset. If they don't calm down, maybe we can talk about helping you into Denmark next year.
Hey there!  Just your friendly neighborhood Russian Bear here, checking in and letting you know communication channels are open.  
I assume we're looking at a standard Black Sea bounce, see how the rest of the Spring board looks, and going from there?
Hi yes happy to bounce Black Sea 🌊 what are your thoughts on austria?
Betrayed?  Bewildered?  Wrong answer?
Seriously, no real opinion formed yet.  He was first to reach out, standard fairly neutral greeting and fishing for info, noncommittal on plans  beyond bouncing Galicia and trying not to anger any of his neighbors.  I could go either way on that one.  Life is a little easier for us if we clear that early.
So far the only player that strikes me as a bit of a wildcard is Italy.  I suspect that one's going to move aggressively and erratically once he picks a direction - and that could be good or bad, depending.
Ok bounce in the black and let us assess in the fall
*sigh*. This doesn't seem like the most productive way forward for either of us.
Output: I have been playing a lot of gunboat lately
Salut!
Just checking in, letting you know the embassy is open, and if you decide to move in a direction I might be able to get involved in, we can probably come to a reasonable arrangement on cooperation.
Bonne journée!
Hey! I'm pretty flexible. Do you like to open north or against Germany?
Not especially - depends on how squirrelly the English player comes off in initial negotiations.  So far he's scanning as moderately squirrelly 😃
Haha 😂. Moderately squirrelly is pretty accurate.
Checking back in before the deadline- it's a bit uncertain in the West, and it would be interesting to hear about your read.
Output: Looks like Italy's gonna head away from you pretty aggressively.  England still strikes me as squirrelly - he says he's super-concerned about Germany, but I'm not sure I'm buying that.
Hi Turkey! Wishing you good luck this game. Wanted to ask what your plans are for relations with Russia.
Hi well depends if austria is on board brobably containment
That sounds like a good plan. Russia has indicated to me that they're looking south (so long as I don't cause too much trouble), so I would be prepared. Have you all come to an agreement on the black sea?
It’s a bounce in the black
Cool, thanks for the info! Mostly just trying to get a sense for whether you and Russia are in cahoots and preparing to mow over the whole board.
Output: Probably not
Bonjour! Let's talk about the English channel!
Sure! What are your thoughts on it?
I'd like to leave it unoccupied. A fight early on is bad for both of us.
Makes sense. I agree, a DMZ is good for us both. I know that getting armies off of the island is pretty important for you. Depending on how it plays out we could talk about Belgium. Any thoughts on your other neighbors Germany and Russia?
Cool, I'd like to then agree now to a DMZ in the channel through the end of 1902, and we can re-discuss that year about future plans. Are you on board? If so, will your fleet go to MAO?

Haven't heard from Germany yet. I've been honest with Russia about going north, and Russia has expressed some concerns. Doesn't want me to bring my army to Nwy. So, Belgium may be a home I'm interested in if that's on the table.
Output: Wow Germany threatens war with me in the first message haha
Howdy Germany, How’s your early game shaking out?, Not so bad. Yourself?, Hey Italy! Thought I’d reach out and say hello. I’m excited for this game!, eh I mean Im fuckin italy
Output: how do you think its going hahaha
Heyyy guy
Thoughts re: la France?
Thinks seem pretty cordial so far. That said, I wouldn’t mind a thorn in his side. What are you thinking?
I’m thinking it might be to our advantage to pressure him a bit...rn he’s getting a LOT of builds this turn, and then he’s probably coming straight at us.
I can move on Picardy, but only if you move on Belgium.  I think Germany is going for him, so now’s your chance to get a slice of France while the getting is good.
Output: Looking back at the board and damn, he has left Belgium wide open for you
Hey Germany! Looking forward to this game! You doing well this afternoon?, Yes! Very well. How about yourself?, Pretty well.  A little tired, it's almost 10pm for me.  Where you from?, Philadelphia originally! Working in DC. How about you?, Maine, where in DC are you? Who are you working for?
Output: I was in DC last year and have a bunch of friends there right now
Hey Russia - how’s it going? Excited for this game!
Hey Germany. Should be a great game. Been a while since I’ve played Diplo. Are you going North to England?
Me too tbh!
I’m keeping my options open at this point
Hbu?
Output: I’m hoping to get along well with you and England and focus on France. I think the three of us need to get in front of things and envision what Scandinavia looks like in two years
Hey England! Looking forward to this game. How are you this afternoon?
Hello there. I’m doing well although it’s the evening here on the east coast. Wondering where you stand with France and Russia. Will you bounce Sweden? Has France spoken to you about Belgium?
East coast for me too 😴
France reached out to me but I haven’t responded
Still determining my plans! I haven’t locked in any moves yet. Where do you stand with France?
Output: We agreed to bounce the channel but they weren’t much more communicative than that
Hey Turkey - how is it going? Excited for this game!, Of course, yeah! Will see how things unfold, How are things going? Do you think Austria or Russia or going to be a problem?, For you or for me?, Do you know what Russia is up to?
Output: Have you heard from him??
We should bounce in Bur this turn
Hi France! Sorry for the delay - still getting the hang of this app. Why do you think we should bounce in Bur?
To start, I'd like us to have a good relationship, so I'm starting by telling you what I'm going to do, which is move an Army to Burgundy, ideally to bounce. This allows me to protect in case you were planning on doing something to begin with. Second, bouncing helps you out because Germany's first move with the Munich army is either to move to Burgundy or the Ruhr. If you dont move to Bur, then I'm there and you have to move the Ruhr army back to protect Mun anyway. I think we both have other issues than creating a relatively pointless stalemate here when there are better targets if we work together
Interesting. I will have to think it over. What does it look like three years down the road if we’re working together?
England destroyed and divided, you in the north sweeping up Russia with support, ive swept down into Italy
Output: Okay - this works for me. I was going into Rohr will adjust my order and bounce. If we work together against England offers a lot of advantages for both of us, especially in the early game.
Hey Russia! What's up? Looking forward to playing with you, excited to be playing Austria.  What are your thoughts on the game/your moves?
You there? Would love to talk strategy at some point
Hey Austria,
I sent a message to Turkey because I don’t want to go South or to the Balkans and let you fight with them over that but I might have to do that if I don’t hear from them. I would prefer to head North though.
What did your message to Turkey say? I would love to work with you but we haven't talked nearly enough
They got back to me finally sting they were going to the BlackSea so so am I to bounce them. I’d go to Balkan’s with Italy and go after Turkey. You two together can take them and I’ll stay out of the area early at least.
Output: So what's the plan with England then? Are you forcing him out of Norway?
Hey England!  Looking forward to playing with you! How's your afternoon going so far?
So far so good. Have you worked anything out with turkey and Russia yet? What you decide to do with Russia will heavily influence what I do.
I haven't actually talked with Russia yet.  The board has been too quiet for my liking. Turkey texted me once but hasn't responded.
I'm fineoving against Russia if I can be assured that Italy won't pose a threat.  The two of us are in a great position to be allies, if you influence Italy on my behalf and I influence Russia on yours...
I’m happy to help. I’ll talk to Italy and open. North.
Output: Where are you thinking about moving?
Hey Turkey! How are you doing? Looking forward to working with you this game!, You there? Would love to talk strategy at some point, Hey Austria, yeah, I'm around, Good to hear from you! How's your night?, I'm kind of getting the grips on this game
Output: No worries! Are you friend of admin?
Hey France! Looking forward to playing with you!, 👌, You too man, The chats are so funny....yeah, I think your :ok_hand is telling the truth 😂, it said send an emoji and I dont read instructions as a matter of principle
Output: Yeah, rip
Hello Russia. Have you worked out what you’re doing with turkey and Austria yet? I’m thinking of going anti Germany but want to see how we align in the north first.
I sent Turkey a message but still waiting on a reply. I wanted to go anti-Germany too if you want to split the population centers? But if I don’t hear back from Turkey I may have to fortify my South flank and enter the Balkan’s even though I don’t want to.
I moving to pressureGermany but I could use assistance on your end. Willing to share any gains that could result.
Yikes. You have some Turkish trouble. I’ll plan on moving into helgoland bight
Yea, that’s always annoying playing as Russia. Trying to get AH to help out but I have to move one of my troops back West away from pressuring Germany. Oh well.
Output: That’s a shame. Let’s reassess after you handle your problems in the east.
Hi Russia, It seems we are pitted against some dangerous opponents this time
I do plan to F Ank -Bla. If you wish you may wish to F Sev - Bla as well.
Hi Russia, I think we should come to some mutual understanding here or things will turn out bad for the both of us.
Look -- I know I took Sev, but I will not be able to take Moscov and it's honestly a waste of time for the both of us. I'd rather focus on Austria & Italy.
If you decommision the fleet in Bla I will attempt to move out of Sev.
Output: And go to Rumania
Hi England, I've been kinda occupied with Russia & Italy so far, but it seems things may be becoming relevant to us. It seems likely to me that A War will move to Mos to support taking back Sev.
Hi England, nice capture of Stp there. I think we're trying to figure something out against the Austria & Italy alliance
If you can move the army in Nwy over, would you want to split moscow and  warsaw? I get moscow, you warsaw
Hey England, can we come to a deal about moscow?
Good question. A bounce there would be silly. What do have in mind?
Output: I'm okay with you taking moscov for now but would really like some support in holding Sev
Hello friend. I’m a big fan of early cooperation between us early on. If we end up fighting over the channel, Germany usually swoops in with Russia. What do you think about a DMZ in the channel?
Sounds good
That went well. We can keep the DMZ in the Channel, it looks like its working well for both of us, and Germany might have some problems coming up
Sounds great. I’m still chatting with Germany and Russia to see what’s gonna happen up north.
sounds good
Output: Things are shaking out strange up north. You seem to have some Italian troubles. Have you spoken with Italy to find out where his fleets are headed?
Hi France, I'm a little bit nervous about an Austrian-Italian alliance would you mind mutually sharing information on their intentions?
Sure, although all Austria has done is complain about their country so far lol
Austria seems very knowledgeable so I would take whatever is said with a grain of salt
Austria and Italy seem to have made a peacefire for the start of the game at least
Have you talked to England or Germany?
Output: Yeah; fairly@standard stuff given that we all pretty much have to attack each other at some point
Buongiorno and hi there, King in the North! How are things in the most central power of Europe?
Can I get in early to raise the question of Tyrolia? Not immensely keen to get stuck in a standoff near Venice, but still less so to see black uniforms heading south lol
Greetings! Queen, actually
Yes, that sounds good to me
Queen in the North, Queen in the South :3 You understand I had to play the odds though, yes? 

What vibe are you getting off Russia? And has England reached out to you yet?
Output: Haha, yes I get it 😃
Hey neighbour :3 If we put our minds to it, we can either work amazingly together this game or flail pointlessly at one another while other powers rise and rise (and rise). 

I’d really like to work towards option one, so let’s agree not to attack each other between Ven - Tri? At least not this year? We have more important things to do.
That sounds good to me. I'm wary of Germany, will you watch my back if I watch yours?
I haven’t heard anything from Germany to suggest they have designs on you, but I’ll keep an eye out in comms! We all have a stake in keeping Tyrolia free. Have you spoken with Russia yet?
They seem nice enough just wanted to be careful since they haven't been speaking as much. Russia seems nice enough, haven't really gotten any info from Russia.
Russia said something to be about an alliance before, the three of us against Turkey before we turn our gaze westward. Did he mention that to you? And if so, how do you feel about it?
Output: Italy vs Turkey is almost classic, though it does depend on an agreement like the one we discussed ^^
I've been on both the giving and receiving ends of multiple games in which Austria, Italy, and Russia decided that their games would be much simpler if there wasn't a Turkey around, and it always was. I propose that we start the game off by coordinating a removal of Turkey before moving on to other priorities.
Seems well reasoned, coordinated, direct and decisive. Just what I like to see out of a prospective partner for the future when I'm an enthusiastic rather than dangerous player! Sure why not, I'm in - if I hear from Austria that he is as well. That would remove a lot of pressure off my immediate borders and have me looking to a future decorated in Winter and Green. What do you think?

Oh, and hi there!
Sounds excellent to me. Italy/Russia is a very strong long-term alliance.
So I've heard! I've played exactly one game as Italy since I discovered Diplomacy online (still ongoing) and our Wintergreen is presently well on the way to a three-way draw with France. If mostly because I can't persuade the Tsar that a two-way would be more interesting.
So tell me, how do you find Terraforming Mars? I'm a bit of a highkey space fanatic and one of my friends has been on me to try it forever, but I don't find I have a lot of time for gaming. Worth a look? Or something that's fun but not for long?
Output: I've played about three dozen games at this point, I think, and every time there's something new or interesting that happens. Heartily recommended.
Hi ho Mr. Pope!
Hi there your Majesty! How are things on the soggy jewel of the north? Here in the south we are cradled by the warm winds and waters of our homeland - much more conducive to religious reflection and relaxation, if not to any particular martial might.

Not these days anyway. 

What do you have lined up today?
Oh lawd, just give yourself away why dontcha lol
As for me you know just trying to eradicate Catholicism from the world
Let us stay close in communications to be better prepared for the madness to come yes
Output: So you’re going to message the Pope pledging to eradicate Catholicism from the world? Classy stuff! 

But yes, close communications can only help us in coping and reacting to the adventures of the French. And Germans I suppose, but he hasn’t been unreasonable.
Good morning my Sultan, how are things? We have a number of common interests (the Balkans, Austria, the Med, Russia) and I'm looking forward to discussing them with you. Please accept this gift of fine Italian Chianti!
Buongiorno! I hope we can honestly discuss these interests as well. Are you planning to open agressively?
Buongiorno!

There's only so aggressive I *can* be, Sultan! I haven't even mentioned the idea of a Lepanto to Austria and I'm principally focused on getting a build in Tunis or Greece this year. Where are you looking at things?
Well, I would strongly encourage you to visit Tunis. In return, I'd be happy to offer you support if sometime in the future you decide the map has too much Austria on it.
Well... Tunis is pretty much guaranteed for me, and it will be there in 1902 if I find juicier fruit in 1901. Are you suggesting I try my luck in Trieste instead, and that you'll be happy to support me the war against Austria that will likely immediately follow? 

One of my friends is in another game where his I and a friendly T are advancing well against a chaotic Russia/Austria alliance.
Output: you had me at "against Austria". Yes, I think that the two of us working together against Austria/Russia would be a good plan. And later when we trust each other better I'm sure we could coordinate in the Mediterranean to help you expand westward  while I expand north?
Hi there, we should talk. I've communicated with Germany at this point and I've heard from England and keen to hear your strategic thoughts on the overall picture. Where can we draw a line of DMZs? Where (if anywhere) can we work together more proactively? It's reaching a bit, but if I ever have a spare fleet would it be useful as a loaner to your lineup in the north?
Hey hey.
To be honest, just got done with a day from hell, so not really thinking big picture at the moment yet.  Placeholder orders are more or less just a standard French opening, just starting to touch base with all the neighbors.
I read you France, and sorry to hear about the apocalypse on earth. Pretty standard Italian opening as well, I'm neither more nervous or less of my neighbours than usual. 

Once you get your press off, maybe lie down and listen to your favourite tunes? I know that helps me when I'm blue.
Oh, I'm not blue - just worn out.  It's been a hectic week :)
I think I'll stick close to a standard opening, get in position to drop a bunch of fleets
Output: Sounds good! Off Brest please - seeing them appear in Marseilles will set off all sorts of alarms in La Bella Italia ^_^ I’m glad you’re “only” very tired. What is it you do, when you’re not governing the fates of a nation?

Hey Austria! How are things in the east?
Things are good down here, we should watch each others backs being from the same stock and all. We have to be careful being in the middle of someone else's conflict.
Yes yes, i agree
I think any conflict between us will only result in one of us losing followed quickly by the other losing.  So should we have some sort of non-aggression pact?
Yes, that would be bad for both of us
Output: how are you feeling about Italy?
So, I'm proposing a northern triple. You, me, and England roll down the rest of the board, and then call a three-way draw. It's a good route, because it's a pretty stealthy alliance early on. It looks like an EG taking on France, and Russia just acting normally. How does that sound to you?
Hey! That sounds like a good route, I'm up for it
Have you talked to England about it yet?
England's on board, as far as I can tell
Awesome, I talked to them about being on board too
Output: What are you thinking for your initial moves?
Hi Kaiser, greetings from her majesty the queen.
I've been ordered to deliver this message to you in hopes of establishing an alliance. 
I wanted first to try a western triple with france, and wrote to him accordingly. However russia has proposed a northern triple. Seeing as you are my first choice in alliance I'm good with which ever you would like to try. Hope to hear from you soon
Hi Queen, greetings from Germany (the Kaserin, actually 😉 )
You're my first choice for an alliance as well. I was leaning towards the northern triple with russia. Have you tried or seen that before?
I haven't tried it or seen it
Wait is Kaserin female for kaiser? Lol
Output: Hahah yeah
Hi Germany--it seems our paths are finally crossing! 
I'm guessing England has made plans with you for the two of you to take over russia. Especially if you help England into Moscow, I can't help but notice that England's territory is starting to...surround yours. That doesn't make for a good partnership. I, on the other hand, would pose little threat to you in Moscow and could help keep England at bay in the North/Baltic. 
I'm open to negotiation if you are!
Hey Turkey, nice to finally meet you! I’m definitely open to negotiation. The problem at the moment is that it seems like Russia is going to support England into Moscow. So even if I support you, you’d bounce and I can’t afford to have England after me just for that
I’m not sure what your relationship with Austria has been so far. He’s been cooperative with me. However, he seemed so single minded about getting rid of Russia...I can’t tell what he wants to do next
Austria and I have been working together solely on taking down Russia, so I'm not sure of their long term plans either...and I haven't heard from A since winter.

I understand about not supporting me into Moscow, and I appreciate the tip about Russia. Could I perhaps just get an agreement from you not to block me moving to Ukraine?
Ok, that’s what it seemed like. I can agree to that!
Output: Are you still interested in Moscow?
Bonjour! Have you decided anything about the proposed western triple?
I'm in favor, how about you?
Yes, I think that plan makes sense
I mean, I was opening pretty south anyway, so it doesn't really change my opening any 😃
ok, cool
Output: have you gotten any info from Italy?
I've been on both the giving and receiving ends of multiple games in which Austria, Italy, and Russia decided that their games would be much simpler if there wasn't a Turkey around, and it always was. I propose that we start the game off by coordinating a removal of Turkey before moving on to other priorities.
I think that would be a great idea. How would you propose we split up their territories  afterward? And could I count on your support should Germany move towards me?
Yeah, I'd definitely have your back against Germany. As for the split... I get Ankara and Rumania, you get Bulgaria and Constantinople, and Italy gets Greece and Smyrna?
Fantastic. I'd personally prefer Rumania/Bulgaria and you can have Constantinople/Ankara.
That also works.
Output: Ah SHIT, I'm sorry, I meant to update my orders to fix the Galicia move but it didn't go through. I'll be sending Galicia to Rumania this turn, and then turning Rumania over to you next turn. Promise.
Hello archduke. Just wanted to give a friendly wave and wish you luck in your endeavors  :)
Greetings, hope the royal family is in good health. I wish you the same to you.
Thank you kind sir! Yes we are all in good health , at least for this first season that is haha
Curious if you've gotten the memo about russia?
That they seem to be trying to play everybody?
Output: Yea that one lol
Greetings, neighbor! Was wondering if you would like to come to some agreement about how to preliminarily divide up the Balkans?
Hello there! I think that would be great, how were you thinking of splitting them up?
Hmm can I take  Bul & Rum while you take Ser & Gre?
I'd prefer Ser and Rum out of those four
I know that would be your preference, but Russia has offered to support me into Rum anyway, so I figured there'd be less hard feelings if we could just agree to this split and both potentially get two builds? Or, if Russia has made conflicting promises to you, then I hope you'd let me know, and then a) I'd appreciate the intel, and b) we could split things your way?
Output: Got some bad news for you then, Russia also told me the same stuff. Think he might playing both sides to see what he can get.
What's the play, mate? Something I can help with?
Whats shaking bacon? You allied with Italy or just in  a hopeful non-aggression until they stab you in the back agreement?
More the latter. Though at this point I'm likely to just invite him into my dots. 😀
Well as one who was in a previous agreement with Italy I would recommend either striking first or moving your units to cover your front.  Italy will turn as soon as you leave a good opportunity.
Italy stabs you in the back. What a shock.
Output: Might I recommend striking back with your last dying breath? Join me and destroy Italy.
So, I'm proposing a northern triple. You, me, and Germany roll down the rest of the board, and then call a three-way draw. It's a good route, because it's a pretty stealthy alliance early on. It looks like an EG taking on France, and Russia just acting normally. How does that sound to you?
I would hop on board with that if germany does
I'll let you know what I hear from Germany.
Ok sounds good. I'll be upfront with you, I had already proposed a western triple but neither have replied so if germany replies to the northern triple first then france can die hehehehe *laughs evily*
Any word from the germans yet? I have reason to believe he is already communicating with the Italians and doesn't reply to me
Output: I haven't gotten anything from anyone but you.
Shall we juggernaut this bastard?
you'll have to define 'juggernaut' and 'this bastard'
Basically just "Hey, you wanna work together?"
I'll certainly consider it. Do you have any specific requests in mind regarding the Balkans and Black Sea?
I'd rather we didn't bounce in the black sea - If you move your fleet to Constantinople then you can get it out into the Mediterranean really quickly, to both of our benefits.
Output: I'm not sure I know you well enough yet to just hand you the black sea, though. What's in it for me?
Hi Sultan, think we could establish a media alliance in which we share vital intel for each other in hopes of ensuring our corners?
I think that sounds doable. If I hear anything that might be relevant to you I'll let you know.
Very good. That being established, I'm curious if russia has made allegiance with you
We're talking but I would not describe it as an allegiance.
Aight tks man
Output: Any questions for me?
Care for a western triple with germany? Ive long wanted to try this
I love triples, myself.  Especially when I'm not Germany
Hi president, apologies for the late reply, i worked ALL NIGHT LONG till 5 a.m. and yielded myseld only 2 hrs of sleep then it was back to work 😱 just barely now taking a lunch break
Glad to hear you'd like the triple. 
Guess this means you launch off the Iberian peninsula towards italy and let me have bel?
That could work - just coordinate with the German.
Output: Ok thank you Mr. President. 
Much obliged
Hello Italy! I chose you as the first country to message to try to figure out the truth/lie setup
All right I see how it works now :).
Anyways, I'm sure we both know how Italy can be at the start of the game, having trouble expanding quickly, but right on the border with Trieste making Austria a tempting target
I firmly believe that Italy/Austria is one of the most fruitful alliances possible in the game. If we work together early, we can be dominant against Turkey, giving you complete naval supramacy over the Mediterranean and highly favoring us over R/T in a fight in the Balkans.
I happily await your response :)
Hi Austria! An alliance between us sounds good. Look forward to working with you
Output: Sounds good! Do you mind letting me know your plans for Venice this turn? A move to piedmont would give me great peace of mind
Hi Italy! Got any juicy gossip?
Nothing yet, you?
Nothing as of yet. How do you feel about an AIR? If the three of us all run in hard on Turkey, our game will be SO MUCH simpler.
That's you, me and Austria?
Yup. We go in hard, dig out Turkey, then you go after France, Austria goes after Germany, and I go after Scandinavia and England. Or you and I turn on Austria and crush him between us. Either way, you and I make perfect natural allies.
Output: Sounds like a plan!
Hey there, how's it going?
Morning, England! All very quiet so far, you heard much?
Midnight for me lol. Nothing too concrete yet ~~ for now I'm mostly trying to figure out how worried I should be about any Juggernauts on the horizon
Anything to that effect on your end?
Ah, just gone 08:30 here! I've only spoken with Austria so far and they seem worried with a Rus/Tur alliance

I must say that I think France will need to be curtailed as they can often spiral out of control
Output: Well, all our neighbors are certainly dangerous :p
Do you have something in mind to keep France down specifically?
Hi Italy, I think we should at least touch base since we share a neighbor
Have you had any contact with Austria yet?
We've been in touch
What are your plans so far? If you wish, we can work together to push out Austria.
Going to see the opening moves and see where we can go from there
Output: I hope we have some basis for a mutual understanding now?
Hey there neighbor. What are your plans for Austria?
Having spoken to him, we're on decent terms at the moment so just going to see how it goes
You had much contact with Britain and Germany?
yes, Germany it seems like Germany is headed West 😦
Damn
Output: Any chance you can help@me with a love to Tyrolia?
Hello Germany! Typically I find that we two powers tend to have a stance of mutual neutrality with one another, and I'm happy to not go against the grain here.
I don't have an intention of moving to Tyrolia or anywhere near Munich at any time in the near future, if ever! So I'd like to hear that you have a similar mentality towards our relationship.
Keep Tyr and Boh clear and I'm content with mutual neutrality
Good to hear. Hope we can persuade Italy to do the same!
👀
Output: Hey, it looked like you weren't playing the game. I was just trying to look into getting the centers of an afk player before someone else did.
Hey Germany! Got any thoughts about Sweden?
I do, but I'm curious as to what you'd suggest.
Well, I mean, obviously I'd like to get it for myself, because Russia is fairly fragile overall. I like Russia/Germany as an alliance, because we can project lots of force in directions that aren't right after each other.
I'm in
Just stay out of pru and sil unless you give me some heads up
Output: You got it.
Hey neighbors ~~
What would you say to a western triple? We'd have to be careful about it and simulate some in fighting to prevent the east from teaming up in response, but I think we can pull it off
I'm willing to consider it if all 3 are in
France says their in, so I think we can make this work
What would you propose from here?
I'd say we can take on Russia pretty well together -- I can go North to take Stp by 02 or 03 and you can bounce them out of Swe and I'd support you in in the coming years
From there, Id try to march my armies south on the Eastern edge of the board, you could go through the middle towards Austria, and France can be swinging south through Italy in the meantime
Output: That seems fair enough, I'm in
Have you talked to England yet? I got an interesting message from them.
yeah, he wants to do a western triple.  what do you think?
I'm in
What do we do from here, I want to make sure we don't let everyone else in on our scheme yet but I also don't want to upset you
I think we need to talk about how to split up bel hol and den
Output: I think I should get hol you bel and England den
Hello Russia! I'm highly interested in working with you. As Austria I strongly believe in the necessity of acquiring a strong early alliance, and who better than a partner who can help me keep down Turkey :)
The first clear point between us is dependent on how we want to arrange the balkans, and of course, the typical sore point between us in Galicia. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on both of those.
I'd much rather neither of us worry the other about Galicia, it makes no sense to even feign a fight. The single most important thing that Italy, Russia, and Austria can do for their future success on a board, in my opinion, is not have a Turkey extant. If the three of us work together and coordinate it properly, Turkey will fall fast.
Turkey hasn't said anything to me just yet
So what moves are you planning? Seems tough to go hard against turkey so early
Output: As long as you, me, and Italy all go in and coordinate, Turkey won't be able to stand up to us.
England, it's tough for us to foster relations this early, but I hope we can keep each other posted on any intel we gain from opposite sides of the map from one another.
Agreed, but I would also be happy to
Good to hear. Awaiting messages from Russia who I imagine is the most important player that we both need to deal with.
So far, they've promised me they're not going for a Juggernaut, but pretty much every Russia would say that
They also told me they wanted to go after Turkey early; have you heard anything about that? Cuz if not, I'd have to think he's being sneaky ya
Output: Russia said the same to me
Hello Turkey. We share natural enemies in Russia and Italy, so I'm interested in a partnership between the two of us.
I would like to know if there's any chance you try a slightly unorthodox opening to Armenia to try to shut down Russia quickly and early, working with me. I would be very interested in helping you on anything like that.
Hi Austria, I'm not against an armenia opening but I'm not sure I can commit as of yet. In what way can you assist?
Well I will very likely be moving to Galicia in the spring
And I could also move to rumania if it would assist you
Output: Hey, best of luck with Russia in black sea. Hope things go well for you
Hello, England! What's your general train of thought on what to do?
Not quite sure yet to be honest -- still trying to get to know the board
Any ideas on your end?
My inclination is to focus south. I won't put an army in StP, you don't put an army in Norway. Fair deal?
That sounds good to me
Output: I just hope you're not planning a Juggernaut ~~ then it'd be almost irresponsible of me to not do anything ya?
