Hi Kestas, so, I access rec.games.diplomacy through a Unix newsreader with
one of those filters, so yes, perhaps I missed your other messages....

Whoops, I just looked at your screenshot.... which certainly impressed me
with its beauty. But now seeing the main site, open mouth, insert
foot....

Very interesting, are you a major or the major access point to Diplomacy
on Facebook?

And maybe they are and they should post. I know I saw at least one of
your posts before, but had not visited your site until this week. I
especially like your use of color.
You also have some players playing in a HUGE number of games at once, how
can they do that? Also, there seems to be a large number of games with
outright 18 center wins.

Thanks, and sorry for the misunderstanding of your message,
