Quote:I firmly believe that if Spulla had been better at diplomacy they would be much much better off.
Quote:but their diplomacy is probably 80% to blame for the 5v1.
Quote:As has been pointed out by those wiser than me, their diplomacy has been shoddy.
I can see that this is a consensus opinion which is reasonable, however I just don't see what was so "bad" about spullla's diplomatic play, or how it was really a different approach from any of the other teams. I mean, sure it's bad that they never found an ally, but it wasn't for lack of reaching out. They sent friendly messages to everyone, just like everyone else! It seems to me like more bad luck or bad circumstances than bad diplomacy. What should they have done differently that would have changed things significantly?
