| DC196 - A New English Hero - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Hi everyone,
My apologies for the delay in the game. Murphy's Law as usual - when things go wrong they go wrong at the worst possible time. Mike's departure combined with my three-day drive and a situation of no internet access.
But - all water under the bridge now. Please welcome Rachael, (verticallychallangedcutie(at)gmail.com ([email]verticallychallangedcutie(at)gmail.com[/email])), who has been good enough to step into the role as England. To give her a little time to meet and greet with you all, I'll reset the Spring 1902 deadline for Thursday, July 31st (11:59 PM GMT). This isn't as much time as I'd like to grant her - but I have to factor in the already extended delay that the game has gone through.
Thanks for hanging in there everyone. We're back on track and rearing to go. Cheers!
Trout

Heya gents,
My most sincere apologies for the late adjudication. Probably shouldn't have scheduled a deadline over my trip. Here we are though, all hooked up once more and ready to rock.
We'll skip the usual flavour and move right to the results. No retreats are needed but the Scots get a build, the Anglo-Saxons a disband. We'll snap right along and set the deadline for Winter 833 for Thursday, July 31st (11:59 PM GMT).
Cheers everyone,
Trout

| DC138 - Getting back on track - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Heya WOODers..
Apologies for the slight delay in the adjudication. I take full responsibility - my internet connection was lost while travelling and only re-established this afternoon. That being said though, there are still a couple of you who have not submitted orders and/or votes for the various DIAS proposals. Please remember that not voting is the equivalent of saying 'no'.
We'll delay till Wednesday, July 30th (11:59 PM GMT) - roughly 20.5 hours - in hopes that the missing votes/orders will find their way in.
Cheers!

| DC172 - A Storm Of Circumstances - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Heya there gents,
Its a crazy set of circumstances we find ourselves in. Our vacationing player returned in the middle of my cross-country drive. I'm happy to report that they have orders in, but I still find us short one set. The player in question has been in touch and I expect the orders imminently.
That being said, we seem to be in a rut of late adjudications here. This last one was my fault, I admit, but I vow that these will cease. A DIAS has been proposed by an extremely frustrated member of our group. The deadline for the DIAS vote will be published with the adjudication, as soon as I can do so. I'd like to say, though, that if the game continues then further late orders will be met with immediate replacements. Its not a line that I like to draw, but i find that I have to here in this case.
PRELIMS are *highly* suggested from all players.
Okay - that's grumpy Trout over and done with. Let me just say that your patience has been *greatly* appreciated, I sincerely apologize for this delay and you have my word that the timeliness of this game will be turned around.
Cheers!

| DC173 - Winter Adjudication Imminent - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Heya folks,
First off, my most sincere thank you to all your guys for your patience over the last couple days. I lost contact with the internet over the weekend as I was travelling and it was only re-established this afternoon. My apologies for the delay.
Secondly, I'm happy to report that Paolo is back and in contact. He has requested a three-day extension to get back into the groove of things. I'm a little loathe not to grant it to him, but I've asked him to get a build to us as soon as possible... I will adjudicate as soon as I receive it.
That's where we stand currently. Cheers everyone,

How do, everyone? Thanks for allowing that short delay while I got my act together on this end. England lands an army in Norway to check out some of the fjords, but other than that the North remains relatively locked up. The south, however, is the site of some interesting maneuvers as the French and Turkish fleets line up around the Tyrrhenian Sea...
No retreats are needed for Summer - we'll sail on into the Fall turn... Deadline for Fall 1912 will be set for Tuesday, August 5th (11:59 PM GMT)...

| DC-184 Deadline Reminder - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Gentlemen,
The Fall 1903 deadline is tomorrow. I have ONE set of orders. This is somewhat disappointing, but I have recently discovered that my distaste for NMRs was terribly misplaced. I'd rather not delay this turn at all, as we'll have a player absence from 2-15 August, and we're cutting it awfully close as is.
Don't be late,
The White Wolf
I'm a Firefly fan and proud! Read my fiction:

| Dc138 - Winter Of Our Discontent - The End Of Disc... - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Well, well, well...
My thanks to everyone for their patience as your humble GM got his act together on this end and gathered in the last stray votes/orders... And with that completed, we find ourselves confronting a bad case of PEACE breaking out across the continent. An agreement is reached on a BC/Mexican/Flordian three-way draw, and with that the weapons get put to the side... for now... =)
My congratulations to Andrew, Bruce and Lee for their successful draw and a sincere pat on the back to our minor players out there for toughing it out and somehow, despite my absolute surety that each turn would be their last, managing to still be standing at the end of things. It was a hell of a competition, folks.
As the draw vote succeeded prior to the Fall turn, the last recorded season will be the Spring of 2012. Congratulations again to all players for their efforts in what was a very exciting game to watch. Thanks guys. =)
End-of-Game (EOG) statements are, of course, HIGHLY encouraged. Cheers!

I must say that I feel a little vindicated that both my chief ally and biggest enemy were in the draw. Lee, you caught me at my most vulnerable and made a good clean stab.
Bruce, you, supposedly my friend, kicked me when I was down. You suck man! 
Trout, as always, a great game.
And to the rest of you whiny verbose peeps, it was lost of fun, I'll see you all on the next board!

| DC172 A Midsummer Nights Stab - Fall 1605 - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Heya folks,
My most sincere thanks for the patience as we roped in late orders and your humble GM got his act together. It doesn't happen often, but I do admit that I stumble once or twice a summer as my vacation gets onto its gears...
In the meantime, I'd say this turn was worth the wait. The blood is in the water and the sharks aren't holding back, if you know what I mean. Two eliminations to speak of result from the Fall - we say thank you to our English captain, Jerry, for holding down the fort for the Brits. And in the north, the perfect storm hits Sweden and we find ourselves bidding farewell to Mikael...
Four retreats are needed, but the ones from England and Sweden are relatively moot. Deadline for the Early Winter 1605 retreats will be set for Saturday, August 2nd (11:59 PM GMT).
In addition, we have our DIAS proposal to vote on. With our two eliminations, this would be for a Spanish/Danish/A-H/Russian/French draw. Deadline for votes on the DIAS will be with Early Winter retreats - on Saturday.
Please let me know if you spot any errors. Cheers!

We leave our good friends Holmes and Watson on their own this turn, as they gather supplies for their foray across the Scandinavias. Meanwhile, we see the last of the neutral centers snapped up as Poland and Sweden continue to line up against each other, and Finland brings their northern fleet southwards towards the action.
Poland and Russia both gain a build for the Winter turn. We'll have a slightly longer turn than usual, however... Your humble GM is making a foray of his own over the next several days and driving across Canada - I should have internet access at the hotels, but you can never truly rely on that..

Thanks for checking Chris, and apologies to everyone... I'm unusually late this week owing to the drive and limited internet access / various four-year-old time consuming nephews here at the cottate.
In retrospect, I should definitely have scheduled a week-long lapse in between deadlines.
Winter adjudication is completed and will be out within the next hour. Thanks for the patience you guys - this doesn't happen to me often but your humble GM does have his stumbles...

| Dc138 - Winter Of Our Discontent - The End Of Disc... - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Whew, what a game! Thanks Trout for GMing through these long months, and thanks to all for making it a great game, my second start on DipCorp (and third finish).
Game began awfully poorly for me - I got no response from California and had to assume the worst - that he and Sims would be pushing to eliminate me from the very start. Fortunately for me, he wasn't communicating with anyone, including the GM - and Ray kindly came in to take the reins of the Golden State.
He and I struck up a good alliance from the start, I sending a fleet south to claim Hawaii and help him against Bruce's moves north, while I pushed the remainder of my forces north and east to handle what I predicted would be a fast assault by Quebec, though Mike did his best to keep me thinking he was headed any direction but west.
And so began the Great Canadian War, ending in the reunification of that great nation (plus a little to the south). Things would have gone ill for me even with Ray's benevolent refraining from hitting my southern borders, as Andy in Heartland was (as I found out later) part of a New York/Quebec/Heartland triple. But to my great surprise, Andy did not seem to trust his erstwhile allies enough to go gallavanting to the west, and he quickly ceded Man to me in return for a welcome peace, leaving me able to deal with Quebec on my own. And to my even greater fortune, Andy was happy to join with me in hitting Quebec from two sides - a move that allowed me to move in and eventually, after a lot of rather distrustful negotiations, seize Quebec's centers for myself.
The alliance with California to my south and the wondrous discord between the northeastern triple essentially carried me through the midgame. I rapidly began to feel that New York was in a position to dominate the board - with Florida leaving him alone and Andy and Mike extremely distrustful of one another, I made it my business to turn them both against Rob, who had attacked both of them at this point. They agreed to my suggestions, and with their (mostly Andy's, until Mike was down to only two units) help I was able to keep Rob from moving into Quebec's centers and establishing a front against me. Slowly everything began to move west, Ray and Bruce cooperating to stop Lee's rapid growth in the wake of conquering Cuba while I helped Mike and Andy survive in exchange for taking on Rob.
We all know the verbose fallout of the slow retreat of New York...so I'll move on to the next critical stage - my reluctant stab of Ray, which probably caught a few people by surprise given my strong alliance with him. Thing with Ray was, he attacked Andy and helped to eliminate him when I'd asked that Andy be left alone to help me defeat Rob. That made me keep a sharp eye on him, as I thought then he was trying for a solo run, but at the time I had no way of doing anything about it, being wholly engaged with Rob. But then, he stabbed Bruce. I admit that I had been saying I'd go along with a stab if Ray wanted to pull it off, but I was fearful that he would either hit me or Bruce, and I wanted to make sure that if he did move, it'd be south. However each time he said he didn't want to stab south, and held off. But he finally did so, just after promising me that he wouldn't, and I felt I had no choice - he'd get territory from Bruce faster than I could from Rob, and be taking Lee's centers to boot. Add to that the conveniently shifting terms of our center splits, and I launched a shoestring stab accompanied by a rare bluff on my part, which barely worked.
And from there, the game was history. With Lee and Bruce happy to work against Ray, I took the brunt of his fury while they broke his southern front, anticipating that I'd be able to clean up in the north once Ray was reduced in units. Which is what happened, until he began to throw centers to me in what I believe was an attempt to make Bruce and Lee fear I was bound for a solo myself, and then get them to attack me. Fortunately I was able to convince them otherwise, and so we've ended in a draw.
I know several of you are wondering why I didn't try for a solo, and here's my answers. 1.unlike many players, who view a solo as the object of the game, I view a draw at the end of a long term alliance to be my personal goal. I view this as a game of cooperation and negotiation, and play accordingly. Not that I don't stab when I feel its in my best interest - but I play intending to secure a draw where I'll be dominant enough to prevent being stabbed myself. Reason 2. North America's geography is such that a rough stalemate line can be drawn about halfway through the US, if there are one of two powers on either side who can meet one another at the right point. I calculated that even if I rushed south and had a superiority in units, I'd max out at 25-26 centers before stalemating with Lee and Bruce - if I didn't screw up and get myself beat first.
And so, with them being wholly committed to one another, a draw it is.
Sorry for the verbosity, but you asked for an EOG, so you got it Glad to play with you all, and I'll look forward to seeing you again in one of my many games!
Andrew, Grand Pirate Overlord of the Reunited Territories of Canada, plus a little on the side.

I must say that I feel a little vindicated that both my chief ally and biggest enemy were in the draw. Lee, you caught me at my most vulnerable and made a good clean stab.
Bruce, you, supposedly my friend, kicked me when I was down. You suck man!
Trout, as always, a great game.
And to the rest of you whiny verbose peeps, it was lost of fun, I'll see you all on the next board!

Well, well, well...
My thanks to everyone for their patience as your humble GM got his act together on this end and gathered in the last stray votes/orders... And with that completed, we find ourselves confronting a bad case of PEACE breaking out across the continent. An agreement is reached on a BC/Mexican/Flordian three-way draw, and with that the weapons get put to the side... for now... =)
My congratulations to Andrew, Bruce and Lee for their successful draw and a sincere pat on the back to our minor players out there for toughing it out and somehow, despite my absolute surety that each turn would be their last, managing to still be standing at the end of things. It was a hell of a competition, folks.
As the draw vote succeeded prior to the Fall turn, the last recorded season will be the Spring of 2012. Congratulations again to all players for their efforts in what was a very exciting game to watch. Thanks guys. =)
End-of-Game (EOG) statements are, of course, HIGHLY encouraged. Cheers!
Apocalyptic Trout
END-GAME!! BC/MEXICAN/FLORDIAN DRAW!!!
