The difference I see by playing within a group of OTTers would be that there is ‘more’ to lose by overt and crass back-stabbing.  An anonymous online Diplomacy player cares not a jot about lying to me.  But an OTTer?  Also, we’re not entirely anonymous, we’ve kind of got to know each other over the years.  Some better than others.

If @limburger was Germany and said that he wouldn’t invade the Low Countries then I would believe him.  Likewise @oriskany.  I couldn’t see him agreeing that he had no further territorial demands in (central) Europe and then breaking that  agreement.

To my way of thinking, linking the perceived online personality to how I think he might play adds an extra twist.
