$20 to SIAI or Village Reach if a country other than Turkey or Austria drops out and lets me play.

Why don't you instead organize the people named in this post to play a game on www.playdiplomacy.com ?

As a lesson in game theory for the blog readers, I think it will be more interesting if the community just has one game to occasionally follow... I could picture myself following along with one game, but two games at the same time seems like an overwhelming amount of information.

Of course, as a lesson in game theory for the participants, the more the better. I'm still hesitant to start another game online.

Well, if you do it on PlayDiplomacy then there's no reason you ever have to post it or talk about it here.

This makes me a sad Grand Vizier. :'(

Sorry... nothing personal, I just don't really like playing as Turkey.

I can't think of a reliable way for you to pay me the money personally, but I'd drop out and let you take Italy for a reliable $20.

Note he is offering to donate the money to a charity of his choice, not to you.

I knew that- I was just pointing out my view of the matter.

Italy being my fifth least favorite country to play, I would take you up on this offer (to donate $20 to SIAI or Village Reach), but only if you are truly having second thoughts about playing. If you would like to play, please play.

Wouldn't be good enough anyway- I'll keep playing.

Good luck!

If you two are going to swap, please do so quickly: various plans are already being made, and having to redo them because a player swapped out and has different declared intentions than the original would be rather annoying.

I'd definitely continue to honor Piedmont as a neutral zone.
