Wow, those are pretty impressive! I can understand them taking a lot of time, but I would have expected plastic lanyard to be rather cheap. That's one of the things I love about both tiny embroidery and tablet weaving: A small monetary investment can get you enough material to work with a looong time! Is it expensive because you can work through a large amount of lanyard fairly quickly?

I've only ever seen diplomacy mentioned here on LW. What sort of game is it?

Diplomacy can best be described as Risk with minimal luck, so the biggest part is negotiating with other players.

Hm. You're right about the cost, it would be pretty cheap. Probably less than $15 counting the cost to buy each color. You seem to be familiar with this sort of thing, what did you do?

No experience with lanyard in particular, but the basic concept reminds me of tablet weaving, which I did do a good bit of.
