Edit: I think I posted this in the wrong place. Oops.
Hi! I’m Aurelia1, and found Diplomacy because of a summer camp I did, which I absolutely loved. I did it again this year and was disappointed I’m too old to do it again, so you can imagine how happy I was to find this website. I looked around, and saw stuff about beginners doing special stuff like mentor games and all that. I’m definitely not a master, but I’m not sure if I’m a beginner or not. I’ve played nine games before (although I don’t count the first four, that year I was really young and had no clue what I was doing. At the end of the day if the game isn’t finished, sometimes the teacher declares the winner as the person with the most centers, even if not 18. I “won” once two years ago (for some reason, my partner and I were declared the “winners” because of our comeback from zero centers to five). I won twice this week, but the games were easy: For one, the teacher had created “World War II Diplomacy” using our board and I was the Axis Powers (Germany’s color XD) against the Eastern Allies (Turkey’s color) and Western Allies (France’s color). The kid playing Turkey wasn’t good at the game, and seeing he was doomed, the eastern Allies went in civil disorder less than halfway through the game, leaving it for me to take and only one opponent left. For the other one, there were still only three people, and my opponents were tired. Another reason I think I might be a beginner is because while I was tryig to finish that game, another one started and I was simultaneously finishing a game and starting another. I gave my partner terrible advice, we never recovered, and our country Italy was the second to die.
I know all of that was long, so thank you and please tell me what should I do?
