7	* CharacterTiers: Expect a fair number of posts on any Diplomacy forum to discuss about which power is the best.
8	** In press games, the tiers from bottom to top are Italy[[note]]changes in the meta as of this writing have them inching upward[[/note]], Austria, Germany, England/Turkey (disputed), France/Russia (ditto).
9	** In no-press or "Gunboat" games, Italy moves up a few tiers, England moves down a few, and Russia moves [[JokeCharacter into the garbage can]].
10	* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
11	** Many (the most common would be a fleet ending up in very odd place, as an Italian fleet in St. Pete, which has happened), but the best of them all is probably [[http://www.diplomacy-archive.com/resources/humour/coast_moscow.htm The Coast of Moscow]], as recorded by the game's creator. (If you're confused, [[http://www.eyrie.org/~thad/dip.gif here's a map]].)
12	** In ''The Game of Diplomacy'', Richard Sharp reports an American game where Germany was in the most perfect position a player could be in: he was aware that France's player had been [[GoodAdulteryBadAdultery schtupping England's wife behind his back]], and France [[IKnowYouKnowIKnow knew that he knew]]. The rest of the players, who knew France to be a ruthless and ambitious backstab-merchant were flabbergasted when he meekly supported Germany to the hilt, enabling Germany to win in record time.
13	* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: While an American game, the early heart of the hobby was in English postal 'zines, and a lot of the original lingo and strategy were developed by English players.
