As one of the accused in this game, i can say there is no secret diplomacy going on. If there was, why would i be tying up so many of my forces at my borders with pink?? This guys just pissed off that noone would accept any of his weak ass alliance proposals. (looking at you, King of L)
all the games i've one on 2.0 have been started with either europe or africa. i've gone for SA and Oceania, but i lost every time. i guess i'm the freak of the group.
