Have you contemplated suicide?
Too many people to see and things to burn before my sweet release into oblivion unfortunately.
anyhow i have come up with a newish diplo strategy and been testing it with only moderate success so far .
1. Start game with ridiculous nickname
2. wait for everyone to setup.
3. Target known players/players with good setups.
4. Identify the noobs/protect the noobs/dont attack the noobs - set up as a noob for extra deception if necessary
5. Make strategic alliances with the noobs
6. DEFECT AT DEFCON 1 - attacking the strongest players assets and silos and revealing "the INFERNO"
7. Throw everything you have left at strongest players cities
8. Taunt and make comments
9. protect the noobs help them win - telling them how they can get good by watching the youtube videos and reading the forums.
10. I lose by the most! - safe -
Hopefully by then, two players will quit in a rage and a noob will win the game. This "Robin Hood" strategy will encourage more noobs to join and get better.
