Diplomacy

Hate to admit it, but I'm about to be sucked back into the greatest board game there is. I'm finally dipping my toe into the world of online Diplomacy. Total strangers lying to each other and trying to stab each other in the backs. Who-hoo!
I've drawn Russia and I'm pretty pleased with that. The White Czar is never bored with this game. What to do with the Black Sea? Can I trust the German? How do I keep the English off my northern border? As of yet, I don't know. Can I trust anything the Archduke says to me? Of course the Sultan will promise me nice things, but can I really believe him? Will I spend hours worrying about making the perfect set of moves? Yes! God, I love this game!
