In 2022, a completely unknown player called Franz Broseph joined the BlitzCon Diplomacy Tournament, fighting their way to a shock first place. Who was the mystery expert behind the username? As it turned out, it wasn't a human at all. Meta AI's CICERO had, completely under the radar, been the first AI ever to win a Full Press Diplomacy Tournament.
In this commentary, CaptainMeme and Ezio examine CICERO's best performance at BlitzCon.

Diplomacy is a negotiation-based board game set during World War One. 7 players each control one great power (England, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Russia, and Turkey) and fight for control of Europe, using their diplomatic skill to make covert deals with one another and to backstab their friends.
