[Best diplo match] Mattz Clan S5 G9 (The Known World)
https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=30105236I may or may not have chosen this diplo because I won it :)
But seriously, the diplo rule set created for Mattz Clan Games, which has now branched off into the WZ Clans "KILL 'EM ALL" and "Valyrian Steel", is by far my favorite model of diplomacy. And, as you can probably guess by my profile image and tagline, ASOIAF diplos are our bread and butter. Credit to

I could pick any of our Hosted games, but I picked this one because RPing the far East of Essos on the "Known World" map is very difficult to do since most canon lore focuses on Westeros and the Free Cities. As a result, a lot of games stagnate once the feudal wars in Westeros come to a close. In this game, myself and 4 other members who were as far East as East goes, beyond the Mountains of the Morn, created an alliance with an official council, bylaws, mission statement and tagline: May our Mountains stand tall! That alliance kept this game interesting on all parts of the map until the very end. A quote on page 5 of the chat history OOC: "Nice to see a game where Essos is the one filling up public chat with internal squabbles instead of Westeros lol". Game began in 2022 but ended July of 2023 so this should count.
As an aside, here's to hoping we get the old chat history back please, it's sooooo hard to search for past alliances/RP now.
