Spring, 1903: Tell me the tales of how you named these games.

Spring, 1903: Also, how many of these have you already had practice on before you played me?

Autumn, 1903: Some times the names don't make sense to anyone but me. But like in the game where you were Russia/Turkey and I was France/Germany you get why I named it the Lion and the Whale don't you? A France German alliance is sometimes called the Sea Lion. Russia Turkey, as you know, is called The Juggernaut. I thought a whale was a good representation of this. Thus... the lion and the whale.

Autumn, 1903: I haven't practiced at all.

Autumn, 1903: Others I have named based on wars or conflicts and made the passwords allusions to treaties or other significant events in those wars. This one is a little more convoluted. Basically a Turkey is a bird and the Italian National bird is an Italian Sparrow.

Autumn, 1903: In Russia there is a saying about shooting sparrows with cannons. So I made the password cannon. Am I insane?

Autumn, 1903: But no, I haven't had any practice before playing these with you.

Autumn, 1903: Yes, you are insane, but clever. :)

Autumn, 1905: Hey! Trieste was not fair!

Spring, 1906: If you could only be one country for the rest of your diplomacy career, who would it be and why?

Tough question.Probably Russia, I never feel trapped as Russia. That would suck though, I haven't played Germany or France near enough to stop playing them forever.
