Hi gang,
Here's your Spring 05 moves:
Austria:
A Bohemia Supports A Silesia
A Rumania - Galicia
A Silesia Hold (*Dislodged*)
A Trieste - Venice
A Tyrolia - Piedmont (*Bounce*)
F Venice - Adriatic Sea
England:
F Brest - Mid-Atlantic Ocean
A Edinburgh - Norway
F English Channel Supports F Brest - Mid-Atlantic Ocean
F Liverpool - Irish Sea
F Mid-Atlantic Ocean - North Africa
F Norwegian Sea Convoys A Edinburgh - Norway
A St Petersburg - Livonia (*Fails*)
France:
A Spain - Marseilles (*Fails*)
F Western Mediterranean - Gulf of Lyon
Germany:
A Berlin - Silesia
A Burgundy Supports A Munich
F Helgoland Bight Hold
A Kiel Supports A Munich
A Marseilles - Piedmont (*Bounce*)
A Munich Supports A Berlin - Silesia
A Paris - Gascony
A Prussia Supports A Berlin - Silesia
Italy:

A Rome - Apulia
F Tunis Supports F Ionian Sea
Russia:

F Aegean Sea Supports F Smyrna - Eastern Mediterranean
F Black Sea - Sevastopol (*Fails*)
A Greece Hold
A Sevastopol - Moscow (*Fails*)
F Smyrna - Eastern Mediterranean
A Ukraine Supports A Silesia - Warsaw (*Void - unit moved elsewhere*)
There's one retreat to make. Given that the only valid retreat for Silesia is to Warsaw, I've auto-retreated the unit to Warsaw. Nigel, if you'd prefer to retreat OTB, let me know and I'll take it off the board. If you hear nothing by 2000GMT tomorrow, you can assume Nigel has decided not to change the auto-retreat.
The Autumn deadline is 2000GMT Thursday 10 May.
Best,
Jerome[Reply] |

| DC 420: Spring 1905 Adjudication - AceRimmer (May 07, 2012, 2:47 pm) |
Drama to open1905! An NMR!! (It was veeeeerrrrry close to being two). And a seeming misorder. The only way we could've had more drama is if there had been an actual stab.
First, the NMR. Russia NMR's. Is that good? Probably not. Units do not advance toward the front. That fleet in Denmark does not support the Turkish attack on Kiel (which it may or may not have intended). Allies are not reassured. And yet... Now Russia has the option to retreat into Clyde (or Barents Sea), and is that so bad?
Then there's the 'misorder'. Turkey orders Con to Aeg to Ion to Tun to... F Tun S F WMe... F WMe-MAt. Those orders sure do give the impression that John intended to order F Tun-WMe and that his misorder caused a 4-unit Mediterranean traffic jam. On the other hand, that 'misorder' allows France to succeed with F Spa-WMe, which in turn allows Turkey to advance F Lyo-Spa.
And this leaves France with a decision. Does his fleet retreat northward to help England against Russia? Or does it retreat to Portugal in hopes of counterattacking Spain? Or does it retreat to Brest to protect the French flank? Or...
Retreats are due tomorrow at the usual hour.
The Russian fleet in Norwegian Sea may retreat to Barents Sea, Clyde, or OTB
The French fleet in Mid-Atlantic Ocean may retreat to Brest, English Channel, Irish Sea, North Atlantic Ocean, Portugal, or OTB.

Subject: DC406: Fall 06 Results! Hi All,We have officially entered the mid-game phase of our game. This is the phase when final alliances are usually made, when shaky alliances fall apart, and when the mettle of a GM is tested! How is the GM involved? This is the phase when orders aren't always checked carefully, when extensions are 'meant' to be sent but forgotten, when players start dropping out of contact, and when tough decision need to be made. I was hoping this game would skip this phase and proceed directly to endgame, but alas on a board this large, that would be near impossible. And so we suffer our first NMR power, most likely an Abandonment. I tried several times to reach the affected party, but to no avail. However, the game must move on. We are already looking for a replacement player who knows his time will be fleeting in the next couple months and is sticking it out, but would like someone to take his position. Trying to find 2 replacements at the same time is a death knell for a game and the rest of you shouldn't suffer that fate. The decision, following in Mike Sims' precedent, is to move forward with the abandoned party in Civil Disorder until a brave soul steps in to claim the crown. I will post another message to the Light Brigade attempting to locate our Knight in shining armor! This is also the year to say Goodbye to 2 powers: Rogues and Magicians. Thank you to Warren and Mark! You both persevered under tough conditions and I thank you for continuing to play even when it seemed hopeless. Well done!

Hi All,We have officially entered the mid-game phase of our game. This is the phase when final alliances are usually made, when shaky alliances fall apart, and when the mettle of a GM is tested! How is the GM involved? This is the phase when orders aren't always checked carefully, when extensions are 'meant' to be sent but forgotten, when players start dropping out of contact, and when tough decision need to be made.
I was hoping this game would skip this phase and proceed directly to endgame, but alas on a board this large, that would be near impossible.
And so we suffer our first NMR power, most likely an Abandonment. I tried several times to reach the affected party, but to no avail. However, the game must move on. We are already looking for a replacement player who knows his time will be fleeting in the next couple months and is sticking it out, but would like someone to take his position. Trying to find 2 replacements at the same time is a death knell for a game and the rest of you shouldn't suffer that fate. The decision, following in Mike Sims' precedent, is to move forward with the abandoned party in Civil Disorder until a brave soul steps in to claim the crown. I will post another message to the Light Brigade attempting to locate our Knight in shining armor!

Greetings all,I understand that an error was made in the results description. I blame this on static across the Internet! I do owe the Magicians some humble apologies, and we all owe the Wizards a hale and hearty Goodbye.
There was also a question about how Draws are handled. Draw proposals can be submitted at any time, and they will be announced as quickly as possible. The results will be tallied and announced in the following Results phase, at which time the slate is wiped clean. The vote must be UNANIMOUS! A single NO vote, or any abstention, will results in a vote FAIL. (NMR powers obviously do not participate and thus are not counted as abstained).

I was missing a set of retreats last night (plus I got home REALLY late), so I pushed the retreat deadline, which means the Build deadline will also push to tomorrow.
New Map, Retreat results, and Adjustment values wil be releases later today.
Still, I think we can keep the Spring deadline for next Tuesday, don't you? In the meantime, get to know Jerome. He seems like a nice enough guy!

I was not privy to any of the actual conversation between Germany and England, but that's how I imagine it playing out. The end result being that Germany attempts to convoy the army out of Yorkshire, but the English actually prevent it by dislodging the German fleet.

Hey all,
England: "You need to get that army off of my home turf."
Germany: "Okay."
England: " What do you mean, 'okay'? What are you trying to pull? I know you want to take my centers. It'll take forever to root you out of here."
Germany: "I'm leaving, alright? Calm down!"
England: "Sure you are. I'll believe it when I see it."
England (to self): "Dirty treacherous Germans. I don't know what they are trying to pull, but I'll show them! He'll regret ever convoying that army!"
I was not privy to any of the actual conversation between Germany and England, but that's how I imagine it playing out. The end result being that Germany attempts to convoy the army out of Yorkshire, but the English actually prevent it by dislodging the German fleet.
Besides that crazy situation, and the 6 unit, four country war for ser/bul, it's actually a remarkably peaceful turn. There's a bounce in smy, but apart from that, pretty much every other move succeeds unopposed.
Two retreats are needed. German F nth can retreat to Bel, Hol, Ska, Nwg or OTB. Austrian A Ser can retreat to Alb or OTB.
Retreats are due tomorrow at 8:00 CST 13:00 GMT.

| dc423 draw proposal - catsfather (May 07, 2012, 6:50 am) |
We also have a proposal for a 4-way draw between Austria, France,
Germany, and Turkey. Italy would be marked as a survivor. Vote yes
if in favour. Any no vote, or any failure to vote means the proposal
doesn't pass.
It's close to the spring deadline, so unless the proposer tells me
otherwise, I'll ask for this vote again in the fall.[Reply] |
| dc401 w07 draw! - kevinokelly (May 07, 2012, 1:19 am) |
Greetings all. I have been a bit pre-occupied the last couple of weeks but I did want to give a little recap of the game from my perspective. First of all, a HUGE thanks to Mike Sims for running this game. I'm sure the map takes some time to make and dealing with a rash of chances and different adjudications because things are different than the standard map takes some time. The game moved at a good pace and I'm glad I got to join.
From the outset at drawing England, I only knew three players on the board, Germany, Italy and Austria. I don't think Steve and I ever played against each other, but I GM'ed a game he was in and we met briefly at a FTF game which I stopped by to watch and have a beer courtesy of the host that day. Mike, Warren and I have played in many battles, including I think the original Seismic. I wouldn't say that we have worked well or poorly together, but both are good players and I looked forward to working with them again if possible.
I started out negotiating in the west. From my memory of the original game, I remembered the quicker it was to eliminate a neighbor, the better it was since it game lots of time to expand provinces to make quicker advances on the board. I opened to both Germany and France to quickly rid the board of the other. Germany bit on the offer, while France seemed to want nothing to do with the offer. That made my decision pretty easy. I really worked Mike. I didn't want F Kie - Hol, but I couldn't talk him out of it. I knew it left open a chance for him to work with France against me. But I couldn't do anything about it. Going into the Fall, I had laid out a plan for Mike and I each to grow a couple centers over the next two years, killing of France by 1903 and marching east before the other 4 powers had a chance to organize. I'm not sure what Chris said to Mike to get him to change his mind, but Mike didn't follow along. Chris and I didn't even try to speak for the next three years. I think I emailed him once to try and go after Germany, but it was useless as our only battles were against each other. Hindsight being 20/20, I think Mike regretted that decision as it left France and England fighting for three years without any progress while Russia and Italy really bonded together to stop any German growth. At that point, Mike needed an ally and since he saw France struggling to make any progress against me, he probably figured it was better to work with me against Chris since it would be easier for him to get centers from France than for him to get any from me. The only other option would have been for F/G to finish me off in 1902, but Mike saw gains in the east and didn't finish the job in the west.
My biggest saving grace was Steve in Italy. He had made some great decisions early on and really played the best game on the board. I was really trying him to push to France because that would get France off my back and with Germany working with me, I figured I'd be in the game long enough to stir the pot while the bigger countries went back and forth. Steve aided me by stabbing Russia and going at France at about the same time. That led to the entire board turning on him and let Steve and I get control of the neighbors in front of us (France in front of me and Russia in front of Germany). My plan was to get an advantage in the southwestern seas and then hit France, which was executed almost perfectly. A bit of revenge was part of that plan since France really messed up my game, but Mike and I had promised that we wouldn't attack our allies if the board was still in doubt. Once we knew the board was safe, we decided to start talking about gains of our own.
The ending boiled down to how it did based on the stab of Russia. Mike and I had discussed stabbing France and we both agreed. We didn't finish talks of his attack on Russia. I was not in favor of it because any pressure taken off of Steve at that point basically threw the game into a 3-way draw. Mike and I couldn't stab each other for gains as Steve would have easily walked to the victory. I kept telling that to Mike, so maybe that's why he told Steve that he would stab but could never pull the trigger.
Austria and Turkey must have been busy with other parts of life because I didn't hear anything from them, almost nothing from Turkey and absolutely nothing from Austria. They were in tough shape from the beginning and I probably couldn't have done much about it, but it felt like 5-player Dip from the outset. Pete and I got along moderately well. We had a bit of an exchange in 1902 where I thought he was using his early gains to try and force my decision making without selling me on how helping him would help me in the end. After that though, we had a couple of good conversations down the road and I'd think we would work well together in future games. Chris and I just never got on the same page. Except for when we were fighting to stop the Italian push, we didn't really want to help each other. I was mad at his decision making early on and he was mad that I wouldn't pushing anywhere else but against him later on. We have different playing styles and I don't know if we accept the other's style. But for a couple of seasons, we did work pretty well together. I don't know if there was any chance of working together in this game. I think we'd work better in a standard game, where I know your philosophy fits better with mine. Steve, as I mentioned, played a fantastic game. I don't know if he could have done anything different to get to 18. If he didn't push West against France when he did. France probably gains another center or two and is able to defend at home, whereas if he didn't hit Russia when he did, Russia probably forms a decent defense too. But hitting Germany at that time with Russia could have weakened Germany and allowed for a later stab on Russia. That could be what Steve thought about after the game. If I were in his shoes, I probably would have taken his same chances. For him, it just didn't work out because all four of us agreed to work together. It is rare that everyone puts aside differences to work like that. Lastly Mike. I really wish we would have started our alliance in 1901 rather than in 1903. Those two years slowed us down and probably cost you a shot at board top. I would have wanted to fight you for it, but at least we would have had a better chance. Our alliance was rock solid afterwards as we both knew the pressure points on our attacks and we knew how far we could push the other to make sure the alliance didn't break to allow a victory for Steve.
Thanks again to everyone who played. I'll look forward to the next Seismic.

Congrats All for a fun and exciting Seismic game. The best one I've played to date!
Kevin, you were a great ally the entire game. There were a couple times that I was tempted to stab, but the consequences were too high, and I really enjoyed trying to end the game waith a 2-way between us.
Steve, that being said, absolutely fantastic job at seismicing my butt to shreds so I couldn't implement a strong southern push! You also got your fleets in perfect position around Spain and Africa to block our underlying attack plan. Very well done, and totally enjoy sharing a 3-way with you!
Mike

Well folks this one just needs a bow on it and it's all wrapped up. 3-way draw! Congrats guys... EOG's? What should we run next?
Lots of neat seismics in this one, particularly the area around Tunis. I couldn't decide between calling those NC and SC or EC and WC... It was interesting to see the MAO-ION connection go around Africa too... as if the great Sahara had sunk under the sea. Sometime I'd like to see the Baltic joined to the Adriatic, and Europe split in two!

We move to Spring 1905. However, because of the delay in the build (although not a significant action turn), let's delay Spring to Tuesday morning at 11a CDT. Because I don't know the status of Cory's email, please copy ME, Cory and the Orders box (orders(at)diplomaticcorp.com) on your orders.
