Babak,
really appreciate what you're doing for Alf.
Considering the circumstances, and knowing Alf from several games, his
NMRs can be explained and I fully agree with your comments and
proposal.

Friends...
IF Alfred is to be replaced in this game, the dynamics will shift once more
in a manner that will be difficult to justify in my mind. He has played a
tremendous game and has been one of the most interesting and respectable
players I have crossed swords with on a dip board.
I know that a few weeks ago, he had a loss in his family that kept him away
from the keyboard and reduced his diplomatic messages down to one or two a
season at best (from an early -game average of 4-5). I personally feel
that giving him the NMR now and attempting to finish the game without him
would be a disservice to him and, in an unintentional way, disrespectful to
his loss.
I would like to propose a 3-way draw between Turkey, Germany (Alfred), and
France with survival for Italy and Russia.
I personally feel that even with a new Germany, the most likely outcome at
this point is a 3-way draw anyways (though I still think I have a 40/60
chance at the solo.)
with that in mind - I propose the 3way draw and ask you all to vote 'aye' so
we can wrap this game up and move on to the next.
respectfully submitted,
Babak

I also agree. He's in a strong position right now, and the way it was looking, a 3way tie was more than likely anyway. I am in complete agreeance.

| DC173 Ok Computer - Revised Fall 1907 Deadline - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Heya folks,
Your humble GM went and stuck his foot in his mouth again, unfortunately. I've set the Fall 1907 deadline for this coming up Tuesday (the 12th.) However, this would make it pretty difficult for Jeff to get orders in, as he is on vacation without access until the 18th. He notified me about this trip but I missed seeing it marked in my game-notes when originally setting the deadline.
So, with my apologies, we will revise the Fall 07 deadline. [u:7698fdf167]Orders will be due on Tuesday, August 19th (11:59 PM GMT)[/u:7698fdf167].
Cheers!

Page 1 – Disorder in South America - Collapse of the Incan Empire
Page 2 – Why are they fighting – should we blame Jack Nicholson?
In Issues to Come:
Enemy Forces Close in On Iran
The African Alliance
Quebec No More?
***Top Story – Disorder in South America – Collapse of the Incan Empire?***
Two days ago, Columbian and Argentinian forces marched into the outskirts of the Incan Empire. Argentinian forces led by General Von Trout, forced their way into the central province of Gran Chaco and have taken the capital of Chile, Santiago. “Gran Chaco will be used as a new base of offensive operation in the region,†stated Corporal Van Salmon, leader of the 3rd armored division, “Life for the Incans will be changing for the better as we introduce them to a better form of government.â€
Meanwhile, in the northern portion of the country, Columbian forces pushed their way into the Gulf of Panama and Ecuador, the latter an attack that could easily have been repelled with even a little organization from the Incans. “We were fortunate that our attack worked,†Admiral Penguin yipped, “but what do you expect from backwards nation such as the Lincolns?†Whether the admiral is able to pronounce the enemy’s name correctly or not is of no matter the end may be in sight for one of our planet’s longest lasting cultures.
This devastating, simultaneous attack will result in the loss of at least two centers this year, with the likelihood that more will be lost in years to come.
“I’m amazed they lasted this long,†quipped Alistair Snobleman, “With their antiquated technology and outdated theory on life, it’s really a credit to their leadership that their civilization even survived until the twentieth century.â€
All request for comment from the Incan leadership were unreturned, hopefully not a sign of things to come. President Vandar, if you wish to comment please call upon us at worlddiplomacydc195(at)yahoo.com.
***Why are they fighting – could it be related to Jack Nicholson?***
Troop movements in the northeastern part of Asia have been increasingly hostile over the last few years. The Sichuan Empire started things off with an unprovoked and overwhelming show of force conquering Northern Inner Mongolia and pushing their way into the capital of Beijing. Manchurian officials were flaborgasted by this unexpected attack, “Why? We don’t understand, we were getting along so well and now this!†stated President Pen Pen, “We have done nothing we are simply victims of their intense greed. To tell you the truth, I hate it here, I’d rather live anywhere else, if the Sichuans like it so much, we would have gladly traded.â€
We were fortunate to locate and speak to the leader of the Sichuan Alliance, Grand Despot Dog Dug, as he was surveying plans to visit Lake Baikal; below is the transcript:
“Grand Despot Dog Dug, thank you for taking the time to speak to us today, may we ask why you have decided to attack your peaceful neighbor?â€
“We have a large lemming population, without access to the sea they have been eating all of our lychees! We needed to find a way to the ocean to rid ourselves of this horrific burden on our people.â€
“I see, now that you have control over Beijing, I assume you are satisfied and will stop moving northward?â€
“That was the original plan, but we have reason to think the Manchurian leadership is dishonorable and since we have come this far we mind as well rid the earth of this lower form humanityâ€
“Care to expand on those reasonsâ€
“Gladly, just last week we all got together for a lovely game of Pictionary (all being the Songs, the Japanese and the Manchurians) We do this every couple of years to maintain friendships and add a bit of competitiveness to our relationship. Well, in the third round, President Pen Pen drew three lines, ONLY three lines, and all of a sudden his wife yells out the correct answer “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest!†There was no way she could have gotten that right unless they were cheating.â€
“So cheating at Pictionary is your reason for continuing this war?â€
“Yes, and we think the Japanese were in on it because I think they looked at the card and were sending signals to First Lady Pen Pen, so we can’t trust them either. We had a long conversation with Junta Landry (leader of the Song Empire) and he agreed with me, they cheated and cannot be trusted.â€
“So the war continues?â€
“Yes, until they admit they cheated! I really need to get back to work, Lake Baikal is an alternate solution to our lemming problem…we had no idea it was so deep!â€
“Thank you for your time, so there you have it folks, Pictionary, a dangerous gameâ€
We would welcome response from President Pen Pen, please do so by responding to worlddiplomacydc195(at)yahoo.com.

Turkey has finally slipped away into the annals of History. Thank you Sam for a solid game!
Italy and Russia are pushed back all across the board, again.
However, Italy and Russia are the only nations with builds this year. Ironic, Ain't it 
However, Italy has no open Home SCs for her one build and Russia has only one open to her two builds.
So in the end, Russia gets one build this year, in Sevastopol.
Dominic, if you can have your build order in by Monday, we will move on with the Spring move.
FYI, I will be out of touch from Aug 15 through the 24th so we will have a little break.
Two Retreats needed:
Italy from the Piedmont can only go to Venice
Russia from Silesia can only go Galicia
So I have Ordered these retreats. If either of you would prefer to OTB, please let me know ASAP.

| DC177 Game End! - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Having received assents from all parties (except Alf of course) and
approval from the admins of this rather unorthodox end-game proposal,
DC177 hereby ends in a three-way draw between France, Germany, and
Turkey, with survivals recorded for Italy and Russia. Thanks to all for
a good game (despite its bumps) and to those of you still here for
sticking through to the end. The previously published Winter 1906
adjudication will be recorded as the final adjudication. End-of-game
statements (EOGs) are welcomed and encouraged from all players. Hope to
see you all in future games, and thanks again.

***Top Story – Disorder in South America – Collapse of the Incan Empire?***
Two days ago, Columbian and Argentinian forces marched into the outskirts of the Incan Empire. Argentinian forces led by General Von Trout, forced their way into the central province of Gran Chaco and have taken the capital of Chile, Santiago. “Gran Chaco will be used as a new base of offensive operation in the region,” stated Corporal Van Salmon, leader of the 3rd armored division, “Life for the Incans will be changing for the better as we introduce them to a better form of government.”
Meanwhile, in the northern portion of the country, Columbian forces pushed their way into the Gulf of Panama and Ecuador, the latter an attack that could easily have been repelled with even a little organization from the Incans. “We were fortunate that our attack worked,” Admiral Penguin yipped, “but what do you expect from backwards nation such as the Lincolns?” Whether the admiral is able to pronounce the enemy’s name correctly or not is of no matter the end may be in sight for one of our planet’s longest lasting cultures.
This devastating, simultaneous attack will result in the loss of at least two centers this year, with the likelihood that more will be lost in years to come.
“I’m amazed they lasted this long,” quipped Alistair Snobleman, “With their antiquated technology and outdated theory on life, it’s really a credit to their leadership that their civilization even survived until the twentieth century.”
All request for comment from the Incan leadership were unreturned, hopefully not a sign of things to come. President Vandar, if you wish to comment please call upon us at worlddiplomacydc195(at)yahoo.com.
***Why are they fighting – could it be related to Jack Nicholson?***
Troop movements in the northeastern part of Asia have been increasingly hostile over the last few years. The Sichuan Empire started things off with an unprovoked and overwhelming show of force conquering Northern Inner Mongolia and pushing their way into the capital of Beijing. Manchurian officials were flaborgasted by this unexpected attack, “Why? We don’t understand, we were getting along so well and now this!” stated President Pen Pen, “We have done nothing we are simply victims of their intense greed. To tell you the truth, I hate it here, I’d rather live anywhere else, if the Sichuans like it so much, we would have gladly traded.”
We were fortunate to locate and speak to the leader of the Sichuan Alliance, Grand Despot Dog Dug, as he was surveying plans to visit Lake Baikal; below is the transcript:
“Grand Despot Dog Dug, thank you for taking the time to speak to us today, may we ask why you have decided to attack your peaceful neighbor?”
“We have a large lemming population, without access to the sea they have been eating all of our lychees! We needed to find a way to the ocean to rid ourselves of this horrific burden on our people.”
“I see, now that you have control over Beijing, I assume you are satisfied and will stop moving northward?”
“That was the original plan, but we have reason to think the Manchurian leadership is dishonorable and since we have come this far we mind as well rid the earth of this lower form humanity”
“Care to expand on those reasons”
“Gladly, just last week we all got together for a lovely game of Pictionary (all being the Songs, the Japanese and the Manchurians) We do this every couple of years to maintain friendships and add a bit of competitiveness to our relationship. Well, in the third round, President Pen Pen drew three lines, ONLY three lines, and all of a sudden his wife yells out the correct answer “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest!” There was no way she could have gotten that right unless they were cheating.”
“So cheating at Pictionary is your reason for continuing this war?”
“Yes, and we think the Japanese were in on it because I think they looked at the card and were sending signals to First Lady Pen Pen, so we can’t trust them either. We had a long conversation with Junta Landry (leader of the Song Empire) and he agreed with me, they cheated and cannot be trusted.”
“So the war continues?”
“Yes, until they admit they cheated! I really need to get back to work, Lake Baikal is an alternate solution to our lemming problem…we had no idea it was so deep!”
“Thank you for your time, so there you have it folks, Pictionary, a dangerous game”
We would welcome response from President Pen Pen, please do so by responding to worlddiplomacydc195(at)yahoo.com.

| DC201 - Autumn 951 retreats / revised map / change... - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Autumn 951:
The Arab Caliphates have disbanded their army in Trebizond.
The French army in Hamburg had retreated to Hedeby.
(Donnie Darko moment)
Winter 951 is upon us. Time to rest.
While the days have given way to the nights in the North, troops are recovering from early signs of frostbite,
and have resorted to salted meat now that the animals have fled to warmer places or gone into hibernation.
Down South troops are exhausted from the heat of the summer and rains in the Fall.
And more to the East and West a chilling wind started blowing over seas and plains and keeps people huddled together.
The war that has plagued these lands have caused a shift in powers for some of them.
The Arab Caliphates and France have no disbands but no builds either.
Eastern Roman Empire, Norge and Slavic Nations raids have been so successful that they were able to acquire 3, 3 and 4 more supply centers respectively.
The Eastern Roman Empire gets a 3rd build for its conquest of Trebizond. The Arab Caliphates no longer needs to disband a unit as it disbanded its TRE army in Autumn.
Changes to the previous W951 adjustments have been marked in bold below.
Ownership as of Winter 951:

Antakya, Cordoba, Palermo, Palmyra, Sevilla, Tarsus, Tunis.

Rouen, Skegness.
EasternRomanEmpire:
Ancona, Ankara, Athinai, Miklagard, Napoli, Ragusa, Smyrna, Spalato,
Syracuse, Trebizond, Venezia.
France:
Burgos, Hedeby, Mainz, Nantes, St. Gallen, Toulouse, Tours, Verdun.
SlavicNations:
Arkhangelsk, Beograd, Brandenburg, Breslau, Graz, Kaffa, Praha,

***Why are they fighting – could it be related to Jack Nicholson?***
Troop movements in the northeastern part of Asia have been increasingly hostile over the last few years. The Sichuan Empire started things off with an unprovoked and overwhelming show of force conquering Northern Inner Mongolia and pushing their way into the capital of Beijing. Manchurian officials were flaborgasted by this unexpected attack, "Why? We don't understand, we were getting along so well and now this!" stated President Pen Pen, "We have done nothing we are simply victims of their intense greed. To tell you the truth, I hate it here, I'd rather live anywhere else, if the Sichuans like it so much, we would have gladly traded."
We were fortunate to locate and speak to the leader of the Sichuan Alliance, Grand Despot Dog Dug, as he was surveying plans to visit Lake Baikal; below is the transcript:
"Grand Despot Dog Dug, thank you for taking the time to speak to us today, may we ask why you have decided to attack your peaceful neighbor?"
"We have a large lemming population, without access to the sea they have been eating all of our lychees! We needed to find a way to the ocean to rid ourselves of this horrific burden on our people."
"I see, now that you have control over Beijing, I assume you are satisfied and will stop moving northward?"
"That was the original plan, but we have reason to think the Manchurian leadership is dishonorable and since we have come this far we mind as well rid the earth of this lower form humanity"
"Care to expand on those reasons"
"Gladly, just last week we all got together for a lovely game of Pictionary (all being the Songs, the Japanese and the Manchurians) We do this every couple of years to maintain friendships and add a bit of competitiveness to our relationship. Well, in the third round, President Pen Pen drew three lines, ONLY three lines, and all of a sudden his wife yells out the correct answer "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest!" There was no way she could have gotten that right unless they were cheating."
"So cheating at Pictionary is your reason for continuing this war?"
"Yes, and we think the Japanese were in on it because I think they looked at the card and were sending signals to First Lady Pen Pen, so we can't trust them either. We had a long conversation with Junta Landry (leader of the Song Empire) and he agreed with me, they cheated and cannot be trusted."
"So the war continues?"
"Yes, until they admit they cheated! I really need to get back to work, Lake Baikal is an alternate solution to our lemming problem…we had no idea it was so deep!"
"Thank you for your time, so there you have it folks, Pictionary, a dangerous game"
We would welcome response from President Pen Pen, please do so by responding to worlddiplomacydc195(at)yahoo.com ([email]worlddiplomacydc195(at)yahoo.com[/email]).

***Top Story – Disorder in South America – Collapse of the Incan Empire?***
Two days ago, Columbian and Argentinian forces marched into the outskirts of the Incan Empire. Argentinian forces led by General Von Trout, forced their way into the central province of Gran Chaco and have taken the capital of Chile, Santiago. "Gran Chaco will be used as a new base of offensive operation in the region," stated Corporal Van Salmon, leader of the 3rd armored division, "Life for the Incans will be changing for the better as we introduce them to a better form of government."
Meanwhile, in the northern portion of the country, Columbian forces pushed their way into the Gulf of Panama and Ecuador, the latter an attack that could easily have been repelled with even a little organization from the Incans. "We were fortunate that our attack worked," Admiral Penguin yipped, "but what do you expect from backwards nation such as the Lincolns?" Whether the admiral is able to pronounce the enemy's name correctly or not is of no matter the end may be in sight for one of our planet's longest lasting cultures.
This devastating, simultaneous attack will result in the loss of at least two centers this year, with the likelihood that more will be lost in years to come.
"I'm amazed they lasted this long," quipped Alistair Snobleman, "With their antiquated technology and outdated theory on life, it's really a credit to their leadership that their civilization even survived until the twentieth century."
All request for comment from the Incan leadership were unreturned, hopefully not a sign of things to come. President Vandar, if you wish to comment please call upon us at worlddiplomacydc195(at)yahoo.com ([email]worlddiplomacydc195(at)yahoo.com[/email]).
***Why are they fighting – could it be related to Jack Nicholson?***
Troop movements in the northeastern part of Asia have been increasingly hostile over the last few years. The Sichuan Empire started things off with an unprovoked and overwhelming show of force conquering Northern Inner Mongolia and pushing their way into the capital of Beijing. Manchurian officials were flaborgasted by this unexpected attack, "Why? We don't understand, we were getting along so well and now this!" stated President Pen Pen, "We have done nothing we are simply victims of their intense greed. To tell you the truth, I hate it here, I'd rather live anywhere else, if the Sichuans like it so much, we would have gladly traded."
We were fortunate to locate and speak to the leader of the Sichuan Alliance, Grand Despot Dog Dug, as he was surveying plans to visit Lake Baikal; below is the transcript:
"Grand Despot Dog Dug, thank you for taking the time to speak to us today, may we ask why you have decided to attack your peaceful neighbor?"
"We have a large lemming population, without access to the sea they have been eating all of our lychees! We needed to find a way to the ocean to rid ourselves of this horrific burden on our people."
"I see, now that you have control over Beijing, I assume you are satisfied and will stop moving northward?"
"That was the original plan, but we have reason to think the Manchurian leadership is dishonorable and since we have come this far we mind as well rid the earth of this lower form humanity"
"Care to expand on those reasons"
"Gladly, just last week we all got together for a lovely game of Pictionary (all being the Songs, the Japanese and the Manchurians) We do this every couple of years to maintain friendships and add a bit of competitiveness to our relationship. Well, in the third round, President Pen Pen drew three lines, ONLY three lines, and all of a sudden his wife yells out the correct answer "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest!" There was no way she could have gotten that right unless they were cheating."
"So cheating at Pictionary is your reason for continuing this war?"
"Yes, and we think the Japanese were in on it because I think they looked at the card and were sending signals to First Lady Pen Pen, so we can't trust them either. We had a long conversation with Junta Landry (leader of the Song Empire) and he agreed with me, they cheated and cannot be trusted."

"Yes, until they admit they cheated! I really need to get back to work, Lake Baikal is an alternate solution to our lemming problem…we had no idea it was so deep!"

Heya folksters...
The game continues along its traditional course - little change north or south but movement seen in the middle... No retreats are required so we journey onward into Fall 2013. Deadline will be set for Wednesday, August 13th (11:59 PM GMT).
Both end-game proposals meet with defeat. For one more turn at least, we battle on. =)
Cheers all!

Heya gang,
The retreat is quick and easy and goes to Edinburgh. The hard stuff all done, we move onto Winter 1902 adjustments. Deadline is set for Monday, August 11th (11:59 PM GMT).
Now here's the tricky part. Next week is a complicated one for the ladies of our game. Nicola (Turkey) is on vacation - we're proceeding with Winter as she has no adjustments to make. Rachael (England) will be moving next week as well. Why do I bring this up? Just to warn everyone that the Spring 1903 deadline will be a little longer than usual - so heads up.
Cheers folks!
