For some weird reason, I've always had the most fun playing Turkey. I've never played a game where you weren't allowed to discuss things with other players so maybe that would change things, but it just seems, well, undiplomatic and frankly I want the interaction if I'm going to play this type of game. I am curious about the whole psychology of going for a draw, but I guess I've just played with people who I or they will curse the sudden but inevitable betrayal. For those that think diplomacy is a bit slow but still like the idea, Colonial Diplomacy is a bit faster and pretty fun.

My first game was as Turkey, got lucky with a ton of conscript armies and rolled Europe. Was fun, would do again.

  My first game was as Turkey, got unlucky when Italy and Russia decided to murder me, left the game in under 20 minutes. Wandered the hall until I found an open game of Alhambra, and never had a chance to play Diplomacy again.

  I've played as Turkey a number of times. There's a natural stalemate that occurs with the Black Sea. If either Turkey or Russia take it they can steamroll the other. If they both try to take it then they just waste their time. If they're able to trust each other and not try to get it, then there's a lot of potential for them to win, along with plenty of temptation for the other party to stab their counterpart.
