My own. That is to say, I played poorly, partly because I didn't devote sufficient time/energy to the game, partly because I've never done PBEM Diplomacy before, partly because of the other players, and probably partly because of chance. I have no idea how much credit to assign each of these factors.
For what it's worth, I enjoyed playing and learned a couple things. I may write up some thoughts about the game after it has concluded.
It's a shame that you weren't able to be more engaged, because we could have worked together at some point, and I would have saved you from going down so fast. I'm not sold on my choice to attack you in Serbia, but my alternative was attacking Russia, which would have been too risky without knowing that you were on board.
Note: The title refers to the upcoming turn.

Peace For Our Time!
The leaders of the three surviving nations, France, Russia, and Turkey, agreed to a peace treaty in late August, bringing an end to this destructive conflict. Crowds across Europe broke out into spontaneous celebration, as national leaders began to account for the vast costs- human and monetary- of the wars.
