Windy City Weasels

We just held our 90th game, another landmark on the march to 100. So here's another look back at a classic Weasels game. This one was played at Greg Duenow's girlfriend's apartment on April 29, 2006. The game resulted in our club's first two-way draw, but it is more famous in club lore for how we arrived at that result. At the time, we referred to the chain of events as the Bonnie Situation.

No Stabbing Eric – A Game No. 6 Report

Founded in September 2005, the Windy City Weasels Diplomacy club to
date has only one bylaw: No stabbing Eric Brown. It's a rule that in
previous games, several of us took great pleasure in violating. On
April 29 at Greg Duenow's apartment, however, things changed.

As we march toward our 100th game, we'll feature classic game reports every five games. Here's my write-up from Game No. 3, which was played Jan. 21, 2006, at my home in Chicago. Game 3 was notable because it brought to the club Christian Kline, Greg Duenow and Thom Comstock. Those three have played in a combined 81 games, and Greg and Thom helped build the club in the years before the Sneak.

Enjoy this blast from the past.

Bungle Boogie – A Game No. 3 Report

On the eve of Game No. 3, Chicago was hit by an unexpected (at least by me) snowfall. So, instead of sleeping peacefully, I spent much of the night worrying about the status of our game.

As we march toward our 100th game, we're going to revisit a classic Weasels article every five games. Today, we'll look at game No. 2, which was played at my old home in Chicago on Nov. 12, 2005. That game brought Andy Lischett, Nick Rohn and Barry Johnson into our mix.

Here's Andy's take on the game, as published in his Diplomacy zine Cheesecake.
