Your Bored Brother is one of the greatest Gunboat Diplomacy players in the world. I play on webDiplomacy.net under the username swordsman3003. I have a solo win rate hovering around 20%, which is almost triple the expected average of around 7%. My webDip ghostrating rank has for some time been in the top 10, and even the top 5. I have coached dozens of other players, many of whom have met with competitive success as a result. If you desire greater success in Gunboat Diplomacy, heed my words!
