There are other Brokers in other cities. They will take Hearsay and Rumors, crude or significant of all types. They just dont have every type (Arcana, Blackmail, Plots, Trends) all in one place. Head to Veskals for some and Leth Nurae has and Arcana Informant I know for sure.

Looks like you will need to reformulate some new strategies as will I. Travel to Leth Nurae and see how you do there turn in your info and look around. You will not be able to win every parley you come upon, no one diplomat should be able to at this level. Find your niche and then travel around and try it out on other groups.

ps. The game was released before it was ready. Diplomacy in its current state has only been around for the last 3 beta stages. It is the least ready of all the spheres, but I think it will be the best of the three in short order.
