Subject: Dark Side of the Fog: Game End - SOLO!


Hearty congratulations are in order to Former Trout, who has led the Space Quest janitors and burger counter clerks to a devastating 32-sc solo!!!

Only 30 sc were needed to win, and picking up a whopping 4 in the last year made all the difference – netting Trout his first solo in the club.

This is also the first ever solo in one of my FOW games, and as such Trout gets the trophy for first solo in a Fog game, and I do have to say he also gets the honors of best stab in a fog game for his devastating move on Warren early on – taking 5 centers over 2 years, almost completely unseen and unstoppable by the defender. I guess to be fair we can also award Warren the best stabbed. Smile

STEVE: You have to confirm the retreat of Caladan-Ecaz, since it determines the final SC counts.

**************************************************************

Quick recap of the game to help y’all with EOG’s which I know are all forthcoming:

First out was Eric, going into Civil Disorder pretty early on. Year 3 it was.

Next out was Hamish, a year after… hit early on by Eric, and then when he disappeared, was finished off by Trout.

Then the game went into overdrive, and nobody else was taken out until year 9, when we saw Trout’s explosive growth at the expense of Warren .

After this it was year 12 when Felix was finally polished off by Steve, Garry, and Fletch

And that leaves us where we are now, after 16 years played, and a 280-day game! 1 winner, 5 survivors, and 4 that didn’t make it to the end.

Dark Side of the Fog: Game End - SOLO! - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
Here's My EoG

Almost imidiatley I encountered Stephen and formed what I thought was a solid alliance. About one season after that, Rob appeared on my map. From that point on, it all went downhill. They beat me back, inch by inch - and then Warren appeared in my back. I thought he might save me, and for some time he did. However, illusions rarely last. When all looked lost, I sailed a lone fleet about as far south as I could. Truth to be told, I think I was eliminated at one point, had I not found an sc to shelther in. However, Trout took me under his wing; and I pledged eternal alligience and support. I was pretty sure he would wipe me out, but to his credit he did not. I was a bit surprised that no-one made any real attempts at swaying me from Trout's side; I very much doubt I would have turned on him, but I could have caused him at least some problems with my little unit. Alas, Trout managed the solo and rightfully so - Well played old chap!

(any errors blamed on my rp not wanting to work; hence no way of backtracking through the seasons)

Dark Side of the Fog: Game End - SOLO! - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
Hi everyone,



Do you want fries with that? *grin*



I can't tell you all how much I enjoyed this game. Everything - from the units to the names of the provinces to the FOG style of the game to you - my fellow players - it all combined into one awesome ride. Thanks to all of ya for providing me with such a good time, and thanks to Mike for helming one hell of a game. =)


I remember laughing my ass off when I saw that my power was 'Spacequest'. All of the country themes really amused me - but I think I liked the Spacequest the best. It gave me a strange thrill over the course of the game to be spreading out burger barns across the map...


My strategy for the FOG game was pretty simple - Information is Power. I never did give out the map of my original home centers to anyone - although I exchanged a doctored version of it to Penger... (Sorry Steve - it made me chuckle to think of you running with a map that had a fake province named 'Peeyu' in it...)


At any case, right from the start I followed the strategy of lying my ass off to everyone I talked to. Poor Felix must have been *really* confused after talking to me about powers that didn't border him. Warren and Garry I stayed pretty much on the level with until we were fighting- but tried my best not to provide very much information to either.


Hamish was the first threat. When I saw how close he was to my home centers I pretty much determined right from the start that he had to go. When information I handed to him - or spaces that I knew only he and I could see - started to be referenced in emails from Penger, that only confirmed it. I managed to get the upper hand positioning-wise off the first jump and after that it was all gravy.


During the Hamish adventure, I had made DMZ's in both Pestulon with Garry and in Dramidj Ocean with Warren. There was a period of a few turns after Hamish was dealt with that I had to decide which was the next way to go. Moving into the center island at that point wasn't an option - I had only one army and I saw that the center was already a cluster-full of guys - Rob, Garry, and Steve to name a few. The only directions to go were either north or east.


I sent out expeditionary forces in both directions. The southern land-mass extended northwards into the Booty Bay bottleneck - a stab on Garry would have resulted in one or two quick centers but a quagmire afterwards...


On the other hand, my northward foray found me stumbling right into the heart of Warren's territory unopposed. In one move, I was suddenly in range of four or five of Greyhawk's undefended centers. Guilt struck me as I found myself in this position, and I was still getting strategy emails from Warren planning out the attack on Steve... But the guilt didn't outweigh the sheer fact that it was the perfect stab opportunity. My decision was made and northwards I went.


The rest went pretty smoothly until the end-game. I devastated Warren and was in position quickly enough to block Steve in the north. Through more deception and trickery, I backed Penger up onto the northern continent and out of northern waters. Somehow I managed to keep Steve and Rob guessing in the central island and steadily gained position there.


And in the south, I finally had to tackle Garry... That one was even harder for me to do then stabbing Warren was, but I knew that the nitty-gritty of the game was going to occur in the Super Mario Bros lands. Garry put up a spirited fight, but through sheer numbers I was able to bludgeon my way through...


All through the game, I had two very good allies - Mikael and Fletch. Mikael was a direct ally - and I kept him in it for his constant help but also simply because it pissed Penger off so much... (To be honest, it was nice to know that there was one center that - if a stalemate situation arose, I could fall back on and snap up.. Thankfully, it didn't come down to that.)


Fletch, on the other hand, was an indirect ally. I knew that as long as he continued to stir up trouble in the east that I would have a chance at the solo. I did what I could do to keep him in the loop of what was happening out my way - we had a common enemy in the Penger / Rob duo.


Fletch's stab of Garry at the end only hastened the finale. My plan was to take the Jolly Roger Bay and had the forces to do it in place. The turn after that Jolly Roger would cut support in Arc-Royal and I would force my way into Croctopus Bay. That would have meant that I didn't gain any centers that year, but both of those moves would have been unstoppable with the uncuttable supports that I had in place.


The following game-year, I would have used Croctopus to cut Arc-Royal support and moved Jolly Roger into the Isle of Skye with support from Booty Bay. That was one of the two centers that I needed. Then, I gave myself a few turns to force myself into Hazy Maze or Donut Plains... If I had failed in either of those two, I would have stabbed Mikael for his center and the last one that I needed to solo...


So don't be angry at Fletch - this game had already reached the point where it was just a matter of mopping up the last couple centers.


That's pretty much it. Once again, I seriously enjoyed this game and would play another FOG game in a heartbeat...


Hamish - our time together was too short. You were a great first foe.


Felix - you crazy kid - you drove me bonkers at the beginning of this one with all your emails... =P


Eric - Wish you had stuck in there bud.. The game would have been vastly different.


Warren - My stab on you was the textbook definition of a must-stab situation. That doesn't mean that you deserved it though... I was just lucky to move north at the exact right time, I think.


Garry - You were no pushover at the end, bro. It took everything I had to peel you back. I did it, but it wasn't easy. Hold your head high dude.


Rob - I enjoyed talking to you during the course of the game. We really didn't have much interaction till the end - but I'll look forward to the next one..


Fletch - One of my biggest accomplishments in this one was to link our two forces from across the map. What can I say except that you're the man, dude!


Mikael - You were my ace in the hole, and I can't tell you how much I appreciated all the help you extended to my troops during the game. Thanks for all the memories, bro.


Penger - What can I do? Grudging respect... You won the mini-game and were easily the biggest threat to my solo effort throughout the entire game. The only place I met with constant failure was at my attempts to break your northern naval blockade. As always, you were a hell of an opponent.


Sims - Very fun game. Excellent and smooth GMing. One of my favorite games I've ever been in - and that's not simply because I'm the one on top. ..


But this EOG is probably far too long already. Cheers everyone - thanks again for the great game - and I'd be honoured to be in another with any of you.


Grand Burger Baron Trout

Hearty congratulations are in order to Former Trout, who has led the Space Quest janitors and burger counter clerks to a devastating 32-sc solo!!!

Only 30 sc were needed to win, and picking up a whopping 4 in the last year made all the difference – netting Trout his first solo in the club.

This is also the first ever solo in one of my FOW games, and as such Trout gets the trophy for first solo in a Fog game, and I do have to say he also gets the honors of best stab in a fog game for his devastating move on Warren early on – taking 5 centers over 2 years, almost completely unseen and unstoppable by the defender. I guess to be fair we can also award Warren the best stabbed. Smile

STEVE: You have to confirm the retreat of Caladan-Ecaz, since it determines the final SC counts.

**************************************************************

Quick recap of the game to help y’all with EOG’s which I know are all forthcoming:

First out was Eric, going into Civil Disorder pretty early on. Year 3 it was.

Next out was Hamish, a year after… hit early on by Eric, and then when he disappeared, was finished off by Trout.

Then the game went into overdrive, and nobody else was taken out until year 9, when we saw Trout’s explosive growth at the expense of Warren.

After this it was year 12 when Felix was finally polished off by Steve, Garry, and Fletch

And that leaves us where we are now, after 16 years played, and a 280-day game! 1 winner, 5 survivors, and 4 that didn’t make it to the end.

The Italians in exile dream big - you can't deny it. An ambitious attack on Ediburgh is ordered by the Tunisian Tigers. Now if only they had a navy they might be getting somewhere.. =)

Actually there is only minor changes in the board after the Spring. Turkey manuevers into the Adriatic and England into Denmark. With no retreats we move directly into the Fall 1907 turn - deadline will be set for Thursday, May 15th (11:59 PM GMT).


Please let me know if you spot any errors. Cheers guys!

Dark Side of the Fog: Game End - SOLO! - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
Congrats Trout!

Well-played.

Thanks as always to Mike.

Not much of an EoGer, but regardless:

Teaming with Stephen seemed obvious from the begininng.

I was trying to get Garry and Fletcher to go at it. And eventually settle with one.

While I most often preferred siding with Fletcher, I ended up working with Garry.

While I should have moved on Garry earlier, Stephen kept on arguing otherwise.

I did try several times to negotiate truce between Stephen and Fletcher, but it wasn't going to happen.

I never felt I was playing my best but was cleverly outplayed at times.

Thanks to everyone for playing.

And if I didn't mention something/someone, it is mostly because I've forgotten it long ago.

later, Rob

DC136 Avenging Disco Godfathers - Fall 1910 - Forg... - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
did we give up too soon
maybe we needed just a little room
wondering how it all happened
maybe we just need a little time ...


Russia continues the spirited resistence, sacrificing Budapest but surviving by the seat of his bell-bottoms in Sevastopol. Meanwhile Turkey takes Albania, France takes the Ionian and Germany makes a slight miscue and orders for Denmark but not his current unit in Helgoland Bight.. (Maybe some wistful rememberence of late nights in Copenhagen, eh?)


One retreat was required from the Ionian Sea, but there was only one place for the Turkish fleet to go. I took the liberty and retreated the yellow boat to the Aegean - but if OTB is preferred Jake, please just let me know.


Deadline for Winter 1910 adjustments will be set for Monday, May 12th (11:59 PM GMT). Cheers all!

Guns, Germs and Steel 1264 / DC110 - Early Winter... - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
Hi gang,
Well, I don't know quite what to tell you. I just went through another work laptop - this new one of mine now refuses to load past the 'Login to Windows' screen. I have no idea what I do to these things - but now the only laptop I have handy is my Mac. Which, unfortunately, I cannot run RP on for the Imperial variant.

So here is the written adjudication for the Early Winter 1872 retreats. If one of you kind souls has the heart to create a map and distribute it, it wouldn't go unappreciated. I will attempt to resolve this latest laptop disaster as soon as I can. (For those of you curious, the Mac is surviving through this laptop carnage quite nicely...)

A Dutch solo has been proposed for your consideration. Yay or nay votes for this will be due with the Winter adjustments - the deadline set for Tuesday, May 13th (11:59 PM GMT).

Concerning the build count and my last email - one of you fine folks has corrected me on that score. While the SC count I put out yesterday was correct, the build count wasn't.. For the following reasons:
- Holland gained 6 centers and lost a units in Kashmir -> 7 builds
- China lost 5 centers, lost 1 unit in Spring retreats -> 4 disbands
Thus, the EW 1872 retreats:


Austria retreats A Abyssinia OTB
China retreats A Peking to Langchow
Russia retreats F Angora to Eastern Med
Russia retreats A Baku to Georgia
Russia retreats A Rumania to Serbia


And the updated and resulting 1872 Adjustments Count:


Austria: 9 Supply centers, 11 Units: Removes 2 units.
Brazil: 1 Supply center , 0 Units: Build Waived due to lack of Build Centers.
Britain: 3 Supply centers, 3 Units: Builds 0 units.
China: 13 Supply centers, 17 Units: Removes 4 units.
France: 35 Supply centers, 31 Units: Builds 4 units.
Holland: 49 Supply centers, 43 Units: Builds 7 units.
Japan: 8 Supply centers, 7 Units: Builds 1 unit.
Russia: 11 Supply centers, 11 Units: Removes 0 units.

USA: 44 Supply centers, 37 Units: Builds 7 units.



CSA: 0 Supply centers, 0 Units: Builds 0 units.

Mexico: 0 Supply centers, 0 Units: Builds 0 units.
Prussia: 0 Supply centers, 0 Units: Builds 0 units.

Turkey: 0 Supply centers, 0 Units: Builds 0 units.





As always, please just let me know if you spot any errors. Cheers!

Hi gang,
Well, I don't know quite what to tell you. I just went through another work laptop - this new one of mine now refuses to load past the 'Login to Windows' screen. I have no idea what I do to these things - but now the only laptop I have handy is my Mac. Which, unfortunately, I cannot run RP on for the Imperial variant.

So here is the written adjudication for the Early Winter 1872 retreats. If one of you kind souls has the heart to create a map and distribute it, it wouldn't go unappreciated. I will attempt to resolve this latest laptop disaster as soon as I can. (For those of you curious, the Mac is surviving through this laptop carnage quite nicely...)

A Dutch solo has been proposed for your consideration. Yay or nay votes for this will be due with the Winter adjustments - the deadline set for Tuesday, May 13th (11:59 PM GMT).

Concerning the build count and my last email - one of you fine folks has corrected me on that score. While the SC count I put out yesterday was correct, the build count wasn't.. For the following reasons:
- Holland gained 6 centers and lost a units in Kashmir -> 7 builds
- China lost 5 centers, lost 1 unit in Spring retreats -> 4 disbands

Thus, the [u:ef1fdf9d05]EW 1872 retreats:[/u:ef1fdf9d05]

Austria retreats A Abyssinia OTB
China retreats A Peking to Langchow
Russia retreats F Angora to Eastern Med
Russia retreats A Baku to Georgia
Russia retreats A Rumania to Serbia

And the updated and resulting [u:ef1fdf9d05]1872 Adjustments Count:[/u:ef1fdf9d05]

Austria: 9 Supply centers, 11 Units: Removes 2 units.
Brazil: 1 Supply center , 0 Units: Build Waived due to lack of Build Centers.
Britain: 3 Supply centers, 3 Units: Builds 0 units.
China: 13 Supply centers, 17 Units: Removes 4 units.
France: 35 Supply centers, 31 Units: Builds 4 units.
Holland: 49 Supply centers, 43 Units: Builds 7 units.
Japan: 8 Supply centers, 7 Units: Builds 1 unit.
Russia: 11 Supply centers, 11 Units: Removes 0 units.

USA: 44 Supply centers, 37 Units: Builds 7 units.



CSA: 0 Supply centers, 0 Units: Builds 0 units.

Mexico: 0 Supply centers, 0 Units: Builds 0 units.
Prussia: 0 Supply centers, 0 Units: Builds 0 units.

Turkey: 0 Supply centers, 0 Units: Builds 0 units.





As always, please just let me know if you spot any errors. Cheers!

Knights of Companions Promotions - May 10 - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
Another sword joins our ranks as we welcome the honourable Sir. Matt Kremer to the fray. I'd like to raise a big cheer in salute for our newly risen Initiate Knight.

In addition, Sir Kevin O'Kelly continues chomping his way through the ranks - soaring to the height of the Order of the Raven. And with the wrap of DC-118, your humble scribe moves ahead slightly, becoming a Knight of the Ocelot.


Also, while not in the Orders yet, a cheer should be raised for Esquire Garry Bledsoe, who cuts another notch in his belt on his path to Knighthood.


Congratulations to all our newly raised Brothers!

DC138 Winter Of Our Discontent - Winter 2008 - Alm... - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
Amid the crumbs of Winter 2008 can be gleaned this fortune cookie wisdom: You may attend a party where strange customs prevail ...

Obviously someone has been observing our game. =P But speaking of - the congestion is eased around the Great Lakes area as Ohio and Upper Peninsula are both disbanded. Meanwhile armies are seen in San Diego, Mexico City and Calgary - fleets pop up in Anchorage and Vera Cruz.


Deadline for Spring 2009 orders will be set for Friday, May 16th (11:59 PM GMT). Cheers!
