Hey guys,
Edinburgh changes hands. There are no retreats needed, and only one adjustment this winter. France gets to build one unit, which I think I will make due on Tuesday April 10, after the holiday weekend. I am off on Monday as well. Of course I might get that out quicker if I get the order... which is likely.
Here is the turn:------------France: A Brest Supports A Paris - PicardyF Clyde Supports F Norwegian Sea - EdinburghA Gascony - Burgundy (*Fails*)F London Supports F English Channel - North SeaA Marseilles - PiedmontF Norwegian Sea - EdinburghA Paris - Picardy
Germany: F Barents Sea - Norwegian SeaA Belgium Supports A Ruhr - BurgundyA Bohemia Hold (*Disbanded*)A Livonia Supports A WarsawA Moscow Supports A WarsawA Munich Supports A Ruhr - BurgundyF North Sea HoldF Norway Supports F North SeaA Ruhr - BurgundyA Silesia Supports A WarsawA Tuscany - Venice (*Fails*)A Warsaw Supports A Silesia

Now then fellas,
The AEI draw proposal has succeeded! 'Taran-tara!'
Congratulations to Warren, Mike and Isaac on an extremely well-played game, and on getting a slice of that draw. I have to say I am deeply impressed with the play of all three of you - and also with Daniel's managing to hang on for a survival too. Dave you did well too, to get back home and to build up a growing stake in your homeland. Well done to you all!
I'd be delighted to hear end-game statements from all seven of you about how the game progressed from your perspectives.
Also, a plea to all seven of you (well, except Mike I guess!) to consider being a GM yourselves. Our hobby can't function without GMs, and it really isn't a difficult role to play. Please consider putting your hand up and volunteering to GM a game sometime. I'd be delighted to walk you through it if you've never GMed before. It's not hard, it takes around 20 mins per turn, and it can be quite satisfying too. Also if you don't volunteer, then I might get stuck for even more games in the future - finishing this game means that I'm left with just the four games to GM now...!
Finally, I'd also be delighted if somebody would offer to GM a game of Shift-Right (or Shift-Left for that matter) at the dc site sometime soon. I'd love to give it a go as a player myself!
Best,
Jerome[Reply] |

Subject: dc419 game start!
Welcome to our round 2 game of DC Winter Blitz 2012, everyone!
For those of you who don't already know me, my name is Cory Burris, and I have been a member of DC for over 5 years. Most of my Diplomacy in recent years has been limited to GM duties, as the task of locating billions of dollars for a cratering state budget has taken up much of my time. I work in the budget office of the Governor of Illinois, an unenviable task, as Illinois recently passed California as the US state with the lowest bond rating from Moody???s. Even with a big income tax increase that took effect last year, our state still can???t pay all its bills and balance its budget. Does anyone know where to find $5-$10 billion fast?
Since this is a tournament game, there is a common set of rules and season deadlines that all GMs are observing. This can be found at www.diplomaticcorp.com/tournament.php -- be sure to click the "Rules" option near the top of the main screen once you go to this page. Notably, all spring deadlines will occur on a Monday, fall deadlines will be on a Thursday, and winter adjustments will occur on a Friday. GMs are able to choose the time when orders are due, so for this game, I am setting all game deadlines at 3pm Central (US) / 20:00 GMT. (Please note that the UK is now on British Summer Time, which is 1 hour ahead of GMT. For those of us in the US or Canada, the UK is the usual number of hours ahead.)
An important note: when submitting orders, make sure to include the game identifier "dc-419" in the subject line, and also cc: the tournament's Orders box (orders-at-diplomaticcorp.com) -- this is for your protection in case your e-mail doesn't get through to me, or if I am not available and need a moderator to run a turn. One of my players in dc-291 sent an e-mail that didn't arrive in my inbox for a day, but fortunately did reach the Orders box, saving him from an NMR.
Press is allowed and encouraged. For those who are unfamiliar with press, that is simply generic messages that are made public as a part of the turn's results. Typically, press is just generic silliness that may or may not pertain to the game. There was actually some good press in the dc-274 game, so you can read the different turns from that game to see some examples.
Don't forget to check out the game's page on the DC web site at www.diplomaticcorp.com/game_page.php?game_id=dc419 -- I will update it after each adjudication. I will also e-mail each adjudication to everyone, as well as a .dpy game file for use in the Realpolitik adjudication software.
And now your lineups!
Austria: Scott Johnston (johnston.scott-at-comcast.net)
England: Mick Cox (mickstagman-at-aol.com)
France: Michael Penner (mvpenner-at-yahoo.com)
Germany: Mike Norton (mjn82-at-yahoo.com)
Italy: Marc Peters (madpeters-at-earthlink.net)
Russia: Michael Thompson (psychosis-at-sky.com)
Turkey: Charles Welsh (welsh_stroud-at-msn.com)
Please be sure to introduce yourselves to your fellow players. Also, take note that at least two of our players are based in the UK, so keep those time zone differences in mind when communicating with other players.
The spring 1901 deadline will be Monday, April 9 at 3pm Central (US) / 20:00 GMT. Preliminary orders are strongly encouraged! Thanks for playing, everyone, and happy stabbing!

Now then fellas,
The AEI draw proposal has succeeded! 'Taran-tara!'
Congratulations to Warren, Mike and Isaac on an extremely well-played game, and on getting a slice of that draw. I have to say I am deeply impressed with the play of all three of you - and also with Daniel's managing to hang on for a survival too. Dave you did well too, to get back home and to build up a growing stake in your homeland. Well done to you all!
I'd be delighted to hear end-game statements from all seven of you about how the game progressed from your perspectives.
Also, a plea to all seven of you (well, except Mike I guess!) to consider being a GM yourselves. Our hobby can't function without GMs, and it really isn't a difficult role to play. Please consider putting your hand up and volunteering to GM a game sometime. I'd be delighted to walk you through it if you've never GMed before. It's not hard, it takes around 20 mins per turn, and it can be quite satisfying too. Also if you don't volunteer, then I might get stuck for even more games in the future - finishing this game means that I'm left with just the four games to GM now...!
Finally, I'd also be delighted if somebody would offer to GM a game of Shift-Right (or Shift-Left for that matter) at the dc site sometime soon. I'd love to give it a go as a player myself!
Best,

Welcome to our round 2 game of DC Winter Blitz 2012, everyone! For those of you who don't already know me, my name is Cory Burris,
and I have been a member of DC for over 5 years. Most of my Diplomacy in recent years has been limited to GM duties, as the task of locating billions of dollars for a cratering state budget has taken
up much of my time. I work in the budget office of the Governor of Illinois, an unenviable task, as Illinois recently passed California as the US state with the lowest bond rating from Moody???s. Even with a big income tax increase that took effect last year, our state still can???t
pay all its bills and balance its budget. Does anyone know where to find $5-$10 billion fast? Since this is a tournament game, there is a common set of rules and season deadlines that all GMs are observing. This can be found at www.diplomaticcorp.com/tournament.php -- be sure to click the "Rules" option near the top of the main screen once you go to this page. Notably, all spring deadlines will occur on a Monday, fall deadlines will be on a Thursday, and winter adjustments will occur on
a
Friday. GMs are able to choose the time when orders are due, so for this
game, I am setting all game deadlines at 3pm Central (US) / 20:00 GMT. (Please note that the UK is now on British Summer Time, which is 1 hour ahead of GMT. For those of us in the US or Canada, the UK is the usual number of hours ahead.)An important note: when submitting orders, make sure to include the game identifier "dc-419" in the subject line, and also cc: the tournament's Orders box (orders-at-diplomaticcorp.com) -- this is for your protection in case your e-mail doesn't get through to me, or if I am not available and need a moderator to run a turn. One of my
players in
dc-291 sent an e-mail that didn't arrive in my inbox for a day, but fortunately did reach the Orders box, saving him
from an NMR. Press is allowed and encouraged. For those who are unfamiliar with press, that is simply generic messages that are made public as a part of the turn's results.

Now then everybody,
Thanks for bearing with me whilst I went and took
that pesky exam (I passed - woot!)
OK so here's your proper game start and welcome
email, detailing how I'll be running your Blitz Round 2 game.
I'm Jerome, your friendly GM for your second
round of the Blitz. For those of you that haven't met me before, I've
been on the DC website for around a year now (where I'm one of the site
mods), and an active Dip player for years before that, so I'm excited
to see so many faces I don't recognize. I'm 34 years old, live in Peterborough UK,
and spend most of each day thinking about Dip (that is, when I'm not
teaching adults at a London
college...!)
I'm sure we have a fun time ahead of us, and I'll do
my best to keep us moving toward the finish line. This is your
tournament, held every year at the world's greatest website -
diplomaticcorp.com - and I really hope you enjoy it. To those of
you that I've not met before, then welcome. To those I have, sorry
about the stabs! (Not really).

OK, so now for some admin-type stuff about how
your game will run.
Deadlines - Spring
deadlines on Mondays, Summer retreats on Tuesdays, Autumn (Fall)
deadline on Thursdays, and Retreats/Winter COMBINED on Fridays. Unless
I specifically say otherwise, all deadlines are at 20:00GMT . We've
got a multinational group of players, so I strongly advise you to
figure out what time 20:00GMT is in your own neck of the woods. Also,
although I will do my best to try to remember to send out deadline
reminders to you guys, it is ultimately YOUR
responsibility to turn in moves regardless of whether a reminder is set
out.
Orders(at)diplomaticcorp.com - This little
email address is your best friend. ANY time you send moves/builds/retreats/revisions/etc
to me, you should also be sending it to that address as well. The
reason being, if I am unable to adjucate after being attacked by rabid
were-hamsters, one of the tournament directors will adjucate using the
orders you sent to this address. Also, if I have no record of your
moves for some reason, and you just *know* you sent them in, this
address will be your last and best defence to avoid the dreaded NMR.
Retreats - In
situations where there is only one province to which a unit might
legally retreat, I will auto-retreat to that space. The relevant player
will, however, still have the opportunity to order a disband for that
unit instead (i.e. 'retreat off-the-board or OTB' . In situations where
there is only one retreat to be made, and that retreat is an
auto-retreat, then I will skip the retreat deadline for that turn (I
have a life too you know! [OY! Stop sniggering at the back!!!]).
Notwithstanding this, the relevant player still will have 24 hours from
the adjudication to inform me of his intention to retreat OTB in
preference to my auto-retreat. In addition, for summer retreats in
situations where two or more players must retreat, once I receive
a full set of retreat orders from all affected players then I shall
reserve the right to adjudicate the retreats early (i.e. before the
stated deadline). Please bear in mind that autumn retreats and winter
adjustments have the same (Friday) deadline. It is possible to make
builds/disbands conditional upon other players' retreats - but not vice
versa.
Subject bar - Since
I'm GM'ing several games at once (4 at present, though it will be 5 if
Sims can sneak another one onto me (arsechips)), you MUST include the dc game code, the
season, your Power name and the version number of your moves in the
subject bar of your emails to me.
For instance:
'dc422 Spring 02 England
moves v1'
If
you fail to put this information into the subject bar then it is quite
possible that I will miss your email - and this risks readjudications
etc, much to everybody's annoyance! Also remember the 24hour cutoff
rule (below).
Prelims - Prelims
are your second best friends. I'd suggest turning them in immediately
after receiving the adjucation. You can always change them, but you
never know when something will come up and you will be unable to turn
in moves. I even accept Contingency plans (especially for retreats and
builds). So feel to even send those in advance too, just in case!
Rule
questions - I have no particular rules to
use with my games, therefore we'll be following the dc house rules
found at the dc site:
http://www.diplomaticcorp.com/info.php?type=houserules
When unclear, or when deemed
necessary in my sole opinion, my judgement supercedes the rulebook.
During Blitz games, DC houserules generally take precedence as well,
and blitz rules trump everything. For example, there are NO
replacements in the Blitz. If you drop out, your country will NMR every
turn, but you can start playing again at any time until your last
piece/center is eliminated/captured. If you have any questions about
how I will treat any specific issue, just ask. This is also a good time
to repeat the 24 hour cutoff. If you have a
complaint or issue with an adjucation, you have 24 hours to report it
to me. If you don't, the "wrong" adjucation stands.
Press and
proper play - This game is black press,
which means you can submit comments for inclusion in the adjucation
from you, purporting to be from another player or country, or
anonymously. However, no one may at any time, in press, private
communication with other players, or for any other reason, impersonate
me or the tournament directors. Doing so is grounds for immediate
explusion from the game.
Ok, enough will all the rules. Let's get this show on the road! Our
first deadline is MONDAY, 9 APRIL at 20:00 GMT
Feel free to share you strategy and goals with me. I can't comment on
them for obvious reasons, but it helps me feel a bit more a part of the
game to see things from a player's perspective in addition to the
bird's eye view GM's are often left with. I'd love to know what's
happening as the game progresses.
OK so over to you!
Jerome

Now then fellas,
The AEI draw proposal has succeeded! 'Taran-tara!'
Congratulations to Warren, Mike and Isaac on an extremely well-played game, and on getting a slice of that draw. I have to say I am deeply impressed with the play of all three of you - and also with Daniel's managing to hang on for a survival too. Dave you did well too, to get back home and to build up a growing stake in your homeland. Well done to you all!
I'd be delighted to hear end-game statements from all seven of you about how the game progressed from your perspectives.
Also, a plea to all seven of you (well, except Mike I guess!) to consider being a GM yourselves. Our hobby can't function without GMs, and it really isn't a difficult role to play. Please consider putting your hand up and volunteering to GM a game sometime. I'd be delighted to walk you through it if you've never GMed before. It's not hard, it takes around 20 mins per turn, and it can be quite satisfying too. Also if you don't volunteer, then I might get stuck for even more games in the future - finishing this game means that I'm left with just the four games to GM now...!
Finally, I'd also be delighted if somebody would offer to GM a game of Shift-Right (or Shift-Left for that matter) at the dc site sometime soon. I'd love to give it a go as a player myself!
Best,
Jerome[Reply] |

Definitely thanks to all! I'm kinda surprised to see this pass... I voted for it figuring what the heck, cant hurt if it passes, and if it doesn't, then go for something better. Awesome game of GMing, Jerome... incredibly timely and enjoyable. My first Shift game, so it was interesting to see the dynamics in it are totally different from a normal game. Will work on a full EOG too.
