| | DP S2002M: The Soloist Manifesto |
 | | This does not mean that a Soloist who accepts a draw, or who survives or is eliminated when someone else wins did not accomplish anything, nor does it mean that he or she did not play well. |
 | | The Soloist accepts the fact that he or she did the best that they could do, and failed, and will accept failure with grace, knowing that each failure is a learning experience that will aid in achieving success in the future, but the Soloist never thinks of anything less than a solo as a success. |
 | | Soloists do play in tournaments, for social reasons, to help promote a Diplomacy forum that may be sponsoring the tournament, and if the tournament is open to all, to play against opponents they might never otherwise encounter. |
