Here's my inaugural episode in the FloridaMan Forum Debates. If people enjoy it and give it likes and comments, I might make more of these. The topic this time is "Online Diplomacy vs. Face-to-Face."
The resolution is: Online Diplomacy is better than face-to-face. Please vote in the comments with your thoughts. Enjoy!

And credit for any subtitles belongs to Perygl, for Romanian, to pompodopompom, for French, and to Sploack, for Italian.
This video is about the game of Diplomacy, an American strategic board game created by Allan B. Calhamer in 1954 based on the European Great Powers in the years leading up to World War I. The game was the favorite of John F. Kennedy and Henry Kissinger. Seven (7) players control the respective powers of England, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Russia, and Turkey and fight for world domination (control over Europe), using negotiations, diplomatic skill, tactics, and grand strategy to establish covert deals, attack mutual enemies, and backstab established allies. A "stab" is the word for betraying your ally.
TL;DR: Diplomacy is basically Risk without the dice, or chess with seven players on a world map.
I'm a fan of the Soho Forum Debates.
