Hey everyone, it seems that I made a rookie GM mistake. When I said that Sims was "dancing a jig", I was simply talking about the convoy -- it's a very rare occurrence to pull off a convoy with 2 fleets that aren't yours! It was a fantastic move, and my comment would have been the same regardless of whether he referenced it in an email or not.
But I should not have mentioned any specific email, and that was my bad.Thanks,Mike

Hi All,First off, Cheers to all the Brits in the group! Cherries Jubilee to you all! Being a Yank, I have no clue why the celebration is so important -- yes 60 years is a long time, but you're basically celebrating the facts that (a) she is still alive, and (b) no one has started a war for the throne. OK, maybe that last one is pretty significant. I do have the American bias though... after all, we fought a war to get out from under the monarchy. 
In all seriousness, though: Good Job Queen Elizabeth! Good Job, Englanders!
And now in our game, we have some mini-celebrations. Considering the last email I received from Mike Sims, he's dancing a jig.
Some interesting moves this game, and more alliances supporting each others' moves than in any previous round! I was quite impressed by the amount of cross-support, and especially with the cross-convoy!
Also interesting: we have just as many Auto-Disbands as we do Retreats, 2 of each.Disbanded:---------------Nomads: F To-Gai-Ru

Hey everyone, it seems that I made a rookie GM mistake. When I said that Sims was "dancing a jig", I was simply talking about the convoy -- it's a very rare occurrence to pull off a convoy with 2 fleets that aren't yours! It was a fantastic move, and my comment would have been the same regardless of whether he referenced it in an email or not.
But I should not have mentioned any specific email, and that was my bad.Thanks,Mike

The Nomads would like to point out that I WILL throw the game to the Ogres and keep all units in positions to screw all other powers. By my reckoning, he is the one who has stabbed me the least.
Enjoy Winter. I assure you that you won't enjoy Spring.

Hi All,First off, Cheers to all the Brits in the group! Cherries Jubilee to you all! Being a Yank, I have no clue why the celebration is so important -- yes 60 years is a long time, but you're basically celebrating the facts that (a) she is still alive, and (b) no one has started a war for the throne. OK, maybe that last one is pretty significant. I do have the American bias though... after all, we fought a war to get out from under the monarchy.
In all seriousness, though: Good Job Queen Elizabeth! Good Job, Englanders!
And now in our game, we have some mini-celebrations. Considering the last email I received from Mike Sims, he's dancing a jig.
Some interesting moves this game, and more alliances supporting each others' moves than in any previous round! I was quite impressed by the amount of cross-support, and especially with the cross-convoy!
Also interesting: we have just as many Auto-Disbands as we do Retreats, 2 of each.Disbanded:---------------Nomads: F To-Gai-Ru

Amazing. Propose an Ogre solo and vote yes.
Theres a lesson there about what someone will do when he's getting
ganged up on. Don't try to cut people out of the draw who can throw a
solo, right? Basic standard diplomacy doctrine.
You'd rather he just went quietly into the night? Well, so would I,
but you can't expect a diplomacy player of any caliber to do that. 8D

| dc415 Stonehenge player replacement sought (Light Brigade) jerome777 Jun 05, 06:48 am |
Hi Matt,
That's really kind of you.
I'm consulting the other players to see if they still want the game to continue (there's a DIAS on the table) - assuming they do, then I'll see if the player to be replaced still wants to be replaced (if you see what I mean).
There could also be a second NMR from another player, so if the game continues you might be needed for that too. Both positions affected are reasonably good ones.
I'll be in touch when I know more.

| DC421 - Spring 1909 Results - Corrino (Jun 04, 2012, 8:14 pm) |
Hi Guys,
First off, the DIAS vote has failed. Sorry, to anyone who had hopes for it.
Second off, I think the chances of it passing in the future are going up because, unless this is the most subtle feint I've ever seen, we're not going to be needing nearly as many votes in year or two.
HEADLINES:Turkey Trots into Four New Dots -- That would be Budapest, and all three of the Italian home SC. What's more, he can't be ejected from any of them. Tunis, now....England Outlives Usefulness -- At least, that is how I would interpret the strong French and German moves into Scandinavia and St. Pete.France Invades Munich?! -- Stab? Defending an expected 2-unit attack from Austria? Make-up dot for St.
Pete & Norway? What do you get if you cross an elephant and a rhinoceros? Elephino.
Russian Tsar Still Failing Geography -- More confusion in the Kremlin over which armies are in which cities, but luckily there is no penalty... this time.
RETREAT NEEDED: German A Munich can retreat to Kiel or Berlin or OTB.
NEXT DEADLINE: German retreat is due tomorrow, June 5, by 18:00 Eastern time. If I get it early I'll post it early, with or without a map.
NEXT NEXT DEADLINE: Fall 1909 orders are due Thursday, June 7, by 18:00 Eastern time.

None

| dc419 spring 1909 results! - coryfucius (Jun 04, 2012, 5:27 pm) |
I just can't figure this game out... France sails into St. Petersburg, while Germany backfills into Norway. Germany and Russia bounce each other to leave the North Sea open. France thwarts Italy's attempt to convoy to Wales, which also keeps Russia out of Liverpool. Austria grabs Rumania as Russia pulls back to Sevastopol. Italy grabs Smyrna, but not before the Turk bounces with Russia in Constantinople. Out of all that action, only one unit is dislodged:
The Turkish fleet in Smyrna may retreat to Syria or OTB. I'll go ahead and order that retreat, to keep the game moving. Fall 1909 orders will be due Thursday 6/7 at 3pm Central (US) / 20:00 GMT.

I believe I've sorted out all the issues, but if there is anything else I've missed, or if ever there is another mistake which needs to be rectified, don't hesitate to bring it to my attention, along with any other questions, comments, queries, or concerns.
France remains atop the supply center chart, followed closely by Austria. England is the first to be eliminated, while Turkey is under threat. The Maginot and Hindenburg Lines are being established as France and Germany stare each other down. England, if you wish to receive further adjudications, let me know.
The deadline for the Spring 1910 orders is 9:00pm, US Central Time, on 6th June. That's 02:00 GMT, 7th June.

France here.
First of all - I apologize for my NMRs - and the botched orders that may as well have been an NMR. Not like me at all - I believe my first ever actually. I suppose it was the combination of the numerous airplanes I've been on lately and the inevitability of the situation.
Second of all - congratulations to Turkey. Exceptionally well played. To keep that alliance in line when the conclusion was so obvious is quite masterful.
Third - it is some solace to hear that the alliance wasn't going to break up. Sometimes you're the windshield and sometimes you're the bug. It sounds like my fate was pretty much sealed in 1901.
Finally - don't ya'll wish we had saved a lot of trouble and just voted for the Turkish solo when I first proposed it? I actually didn't even vote for it since I as really just hoping to prompt a dissolution of the alliance. But it definitely would have saved some consternation!

Howdy Gents,
Not too much to say in this one - things got off to a slow start as I tried to negotiate with France and Germany and pick an ally (or more precisely, an enemy). Negotiations with Russia were difficult, and I got the sense early on that there was at the very least a strong R/T.
I have to admit I did encourage Maslow towards an Austrian alliance and sending his army further into the center - had I known Austria as part of a RAT I certainly never would have done so.
Germany played well, and I admire his tenacity... things got even slower as Russia relentlessly built fleets and stymied my forward progress. Having been Austria in a similar situation, I was expecting the stab a bit sooner - a very well played and timed event.
Joe was a good and reliable partner, and we just didn't have the juice to slow the RAT once Italy crumbled and flipped. So be it. I would have liked to do better in the tournament this year, but that's the way it goes, I guess.
Congrats to John.

Everyone,
Well, what can I say? I went 4:3:1:1:1...... until the fatal blow. So, what is there to talk about? This game was awful.
Just kidding. I had a blast this game. The first two years were pretty typical, and I 100% agree with John that we were lying to each other and just hoping Nick would take our side. Unfortunately, I got shafted. But, in fact, that's where the game was fun. As soon as I got stabbed, I had to decide between fighting to the death or trying to weasel my way into their alliance, and obviously my decision was to work with them. While I argued my fleets could be a forward command, I think I ultimately convinced them by agreeing to advise tactical movements, which I did for the first year or two, until John took over and I only gave a few recommendations (mostly to show him I was reading the e-mails, because it seemed as though everyone else was passively accepting his ideas).
Of course, I'm not anyone's pawn, and I wasn't just laying down easy. Originally I wanted to be a mole for EF, but they wanted me to betray them immediately, which I refused to do. Then John/Nick manipulated my position such that stabbing them was basically impossible, and finally I ended up in the Atlantic with no way whatsoever to create problems for them. When I took Brest, they took Naples, which denied me a build, which I was going to use to cause havoc. Nick and John, I will not say you played me like a fiddle so much as you completely neutered me in every possible way. Bravo.
I knew I was dealing with real criminal masterminds when I decided, as EF was collapsing, to try to cause tensions in the alliance by bringing up the end-game. John skillfully deflected the question, saying he'd seen too many alliances break down on questions of center-splitting, and that the focus had to be on eliminating EF. Of course, John also deflected the possibility of a post-conquest alliance breakdown by boldly ATTACKING EVERYONE except England and taking a truly admirable 8 centers in one turn. Eight. 8!!! I'm thoroughly impressed. I tip my cap. Has anyone ever ever seen someone grow from 10 to 18 in one turn??!
This year I was considering bring up to Nick that he should stab John, but I've been busy getting ready for a big move, so never found the time to type what would've needed to be a work of art. Nick, would you've been at all responsive to such a suggestion?
The one odd thing in this game for me has been Russia, who responded in S01 by saying he thought my ideas (which were vague) were OK and we'd talk later, but then never ever talking to me later. I was convinced he was stone-walling everyone, but apparently John had agood deal with him. But I'm astonished a player dealt with one person while systematically ignoring basically the whole board. Do I have that right, Stuart, or did you just ignore me :-p
A great game with a comically wonderful ending. I just got a panicked e-mail from Tim Crosby (he solo'd round 1) saying he now needs to work to maintain his lead if he wants to win the Blitz. But I dunno. John - you really earned this win. You stomped us this game. I hope you stomp the tourney, as well!

Hey all,
The game started right out of the gate with an RAT triple. We tried some misdirection to try to throw off the rest of the board, but from my very first email to A and R until the very last turn it was RAT all the way. Maslow (italy) was the first casualty of war, as he believed he had a strong AI alliance as well as an IT alliance, though his ultimate goal was my destruction. I was actually a little worried which side Nick (austria) would take. When maslow was brutally betrayed by Austria and I he sent us a great email expressing his congratulations on such a well done stab, and offered to join our merry band. We agreed to allow him to survive until the end if he would be our pawn. The rest of the game was just as it appeared, the iRAT alliance slowly rolled over the board turn by turn. Russia pretty well exclusively built Nothern Fleets, I build
Southern Fleets, and Nick built Armies. This helped relieve a lot of the stress of the triple by making stabs difficult.
My original goal was to stab Russia with Nick's help once we had most of the centers, but our unit divisions made that difficult. Then I thought I would have to settle for a three-way. The last probably 3 seasons I started looking for a way to solo all in one fell swoop. I was basically writing the moves for the whole team at that point, so I knew I could have a chance at it, but if something went arwy with even one center, I was not at all sure I could hold my far flung dots from the retribution that would come. Belgium, in particular, was my biggest concern. I had to convince Nick to move out with no real good reason why he should. And if he smelled a rat (no RAT pun intended there), then I would be up the proverbial creek.
The Western Powers were nice
guys. I enjoyed talking with you when I did, although with a solid RAT in place, I never had much of a chance to engage in real conversation. Basically, by the time the full extent of the RAT was revealed, there wan't really anything they could have done without getting one of us to stab. Good game guys.
Stuart was a relatively quiet ally. At first his reserved nature concerned me, but he followed the plan flawlessly each turn, and we worked well together.
I really enjoyed having Nick on my side. He was very involved in all the early discussions, and we hit it off well from the get go. But because of some issues he was going through in real life, he faded away mid game and was basically relying on my orders each turn (at least that's how it appeared to me). Real life has to come first of course, and in my case I think that was the only reason I was able to pull this off. Had Nick been more fully
engaged in the game I don't think I could have made this happen. Sorry, Nick. I hated having to stab you. You were a great ally.
Maslow... What can I say, man? We had great talks in the beginning. It was fun talking to you because I knew I was going to attack you and you knew you were going to attack me, and I knew that you knew that, and... well you get the idea. It was fun lying through our teeth at the other. And like I said, I wasn't sure until it happened which one of us was getting the shaft by Nick. It could just as easily have been me, and then of course this game would have ended far differently. And then after the stab hit you, you still never gave up. You were definitely the most engaged other member of the alliance by the end. You threw out suggestions until the very end, and I appreciated your involvment. In fact, the worst part of the stab for me was taking away your survival.
You deserved at least a survival, if not more. If I had an option to take a different center besides brest, I would have. Sorry for the ultimate betrayal there. You deserved better.
And lastly, to our GM, you were great! I enjoyed your comments and the fun we had all the way through. Thanks for doing the Blitz. Being a Blitz GM myself, I know the work involved. You handled the responsibility well!
Thanks all! I've never had a solo on the DC site before, so this is a first for me.
John
