A Weekly Threat Assessment of the Diplomacy Community

webDip Terminators
The guys over at webDip in conjunction with the University of Montreal have created a first for online diplomacy: artificial intelligence opponents.  This is a great resource for players to test themselves and learn the game.  You can read more about this new upgrade over at the site. 
Many months were spent to create these formidable opponents so the next step was create a tournament to defeat them.  The first ever webDiplomacy Terminator Tournament started on September 16th.  Each participant played 3 games against just the bots and the top 20 moved on to the second round.  Congratulations to TheGhostMaker for winning the tournament and bo_sox48 for organizing it.  If you missed out, don't worry "they'll be back."
Thanks for the Support!
The Briefing started just a month ago and the support from the diplomacy community has been amazing.  The subscriber base has grown exponentially, and I greatly appreciate all the encouragement.  I've got the next 3 months planned out, and there is new original content coming shortly.  Thanks again everyone for your support!
