Diplomacy Section...

The art of stabbing is many a time under rated in the game of Diplomacy. Why? I am not quite sure. Perhaps it has something to do with a moral code some players have. This writer disagrees. Stabbing is an art, and without it, Diplomacy can become a very boring game. So, how do you stab someone? Good question. I'm sure Ally Bain can provide us with some quality answers. However, if you want to hear from the SI on this issue, you'll have to wait until next issue when we devout a whole section on how to stab in the game of Diplomacy. Our expert on the subject will be there to guide you through each and every step.
