Ah, the French. Disorganised and inefficient. What a surprise. :(

Empire? French? Hah, that's a good one. I forgot how funny you French were, with your delusions of grandeur and your big noses.

Redundancy is the pinnacle of advancement sir.

The pinnacle of advancement is in removing redundancies.

Then explain why modern engineering implements several redundancies to continue function in the face of small individual errors.

That's different. I was speaking linguistically. In the terms of this game, removing predictability is a vital part of strategising. Two minds that think and act the same are an impediment, after all. In engineering terms...well, everything is fallible. The indeterminate nature of this deadline makes such fallibility irrelevant, however.

But fine, be the sheep you are. :(

No, the point is that we implemented redundancy by both sending in the same orders in case of some error along the way. Hence advancement.

Lol, I got your point, I was being facetious.

Resolve already! My foot is poised over the frog - let me see the splat!

Pshaw. I don't compute concepts like facetiousness or sarcasm.

Ooh, in a Diplomacy game that's an egregious flaw, Sixty. I mean, if I extended an offer of alliance, how would you know I was being serious? You're scepticism would blind you, and you would miss a clear opportunity to save your sorry ass! :(

France, I have two sets of orders from you - one from DiBs and one from Sixty - which should I use?

Where's your efficient redundancy now? :(
