Alright, entire correspondence from me to other people has been pastebin'd. I'm assuming PMs to me will be posted later by others.
Alright, so my basic strat this game was to buddy up to obvtown Germany, set up a DMZ with Italy, and play Russia and Turkey off of each other until I found someone that I could trust. Turkey insisted on Greece on the very first turn, so I backstabbed him (sorry!). After that I pretty much had to court Russia's support in invading Turkey, so I leaked Norway and Germany's invasion plans to Russia to give me townie points. That alone wouldn't do me any good, so I fed Germany a few lines about a joint Russia-Norway invasion (which Schezo had hinted at earlier). Germany was a better long-term ally though, so I didn't keep that up for long. Anyway, this bought me enough time for Russia to help me cut Turkey down to size, and in the end when Germany wanted to finish off Russia I wanted to let Russia keep a few territories a little longer, at the very least out of gratitude. :3 Then all we had to do was attack Italy (with a fleet I had said was heading towards Turkey or Spain) and then...the game ended and I didn't actually get to carry out my plans of conquest. But it was fun and Germany was a good ally.
