| dc 408 Turkey EOG - fencertim (Mar 30, 2012, 8:01 am) |
Thank you all for the game. It was
very fun..but I guess when you win you can usually say that
right?
Cory, thank you for volunteering
your time to GM in the WB.(you too Gary)
Let's start with Mike in
Austria..I wanted an alliance with
you right from the start. Yes I said the same thing to Russia and for a
time I had a fragile alliance with both but even a fragile one is better than
none at all. Mike had some ordering issues and Russia kept making all the right moves so I threw
in with Russia. It was like the whole board
was pushing us together though I was fighting all the way. I do not remember too
much of Austria going down.Germany sent units south and east and west, I knew
long term that was going to be a problem for him but it kept Austria and Russia
from really getting any momentum which is what I needed and it spread German
armies all over the board.
Andrew, when those 01 build orders
did not post.that sent Italy west and then I could pretty much do anything I
needed from there..i sent all my fleets west and picked off Italian centers when
I needed them. I have a bit of experience playing Turkey so I did whatever it
took to get as many fleets out to MAO as I could as fast as I could. The land
war was not going anywhere..G/A/T/R were all bouncing around for a bit but that
was OK I was more interested in getting to MAO. I think this was when Maslow and
I decided that he and I should take the game over and go for a two way
draw.looking back.we never actually supported one another's moves but I worked
against him diplomatically as I am sure he did to me..it looked like we were the
guys to beat..until he attacked England. On the next turn he retreated from that
attack. Maslow, I think that was your downfall..you had now attacked every one
of your neighbors and rebuilding anything to fight me was going to be very
difficult until I was very large and close to the lines. Had you sustained the
pressure on England things might have been
different..
I think it was only a couple of
turns later as Germany moved in on Russia for the kill that I approached Scott
and suggested we move in on Germany and knock this down to a 2 player race..i
thought if I could get England to land an army or two that all the pressure to
my north would collapse and I could make a big push. England said he would do that if I surrendered
Iberia..so I let him pick me apart
over there at a pace I was comfortable with while I pushed armies north. The
solo bid looked to be stopped and I thought it was until the vote issues started
to come up...Maslow said he would never vote for anything that did not include
him in the draw. I took this to England and suggested we move in such
a way that he gets the message that it will be E/T or he will be eliminated. In
the meantime I supported England to SPA and we attempted to take Italy
out..Germany worked on Russia while holding me south..I picked up a second
chance to get a solo when I convinced Scott to send a strong message to Germany
about E/T..i played my hand to Germany but England needed to show Germany that
he meant business too. I suggested that England put 4 units on KIE and that
BUR-MUN be the move to do just that. I knew that England would be taking MUN
with German support but it was imperative that England use BUR for the
attack..this left MAR with no defense.when I saw that I new I would/could
win.
I know I told E/G that I was not
interested in a solo because of the target I would have in round two..but one of
my arguments to Scott on why to cut Germany out of the draw was that we
would be eliminating a great player from contention for the tournament.
Ultimately that is I why I went for the solo on the second chance; eliminating
competition for the overall prize was the
intention.
A lot of things happened that I
forgot to mention I am sure..Maslow turning Russia against me unexpectedly
though Brian you mentioned that you were upset with me never leaving the Black
Sea.so it was probably not too difficult a decision on your
part.
Thanks for a good game, I have a lot
of respect for each of you and can't wait to share a board with you again. Good
luck to each of you in round number two.

Many congrats to Tim! And thank you and Dorian for making my little piratical act end as I'd intended - with me losing, but everyone else save Turkey losing as well. Mutually assured destruction, yay!
Alex, I wish I had convoyed you to Edi as planned - Turkey convinced me to help him knock you down a peg and let England stab you fully, but to my dismay that almost fell apart and nearly resulted in England pulling off a stalemate line!
Fun game, though I wish I hadn't been so busy this last term and had a couple critical sets of orders go missing. I might have been a survivor. The opening aggressiveness towards me by Germany and England didn't worry me too much, as I figured it would pull Russia and maybe Austria west and toss us all into a fun melee. Italy in Munich almost made that a catastrophe for Germany, and if the orders had made it in as planned England would have seen two fleets off his western coast in year 2, with only a single build to counter!
But still, props to you guys for pulling off an early attack on me, even if Alex did tip me off to the convoy to Picardy. And props to Turkey for a well played push to a complete victory!

| DC 413 Draw Passes! - untitled36 (Mar 29, 2012, 11:04 pm) |
Hey all,
At long last, the war is over. A Three-way draw is awarded to France, Austria, and Italy. Russia is granted a survival. Interestingly, The draws have come incredibly close to passing on several occassions, in fact each turn I believe the draw(s) were thwarted by only a single vote, which was occassionally the automatic NO assigned to an NMR. Congrats to the winners, and thanks to all the players. I hope it was enjoyable for you. I'd love to have you all share your EoG perspectives.
I'm sure I'll see some of you in round two, either as your GM once again, or as a fellow player. Best of luck to you all!
John

Not sure if we'll see any more EoG's, though I really hope we do! Here's my take on things...
From the outside perspective, it seemed like there was a lot of shifting of alliances s it was sort of hard to keep track of what was really going on. I think it was about winter of 1902 that I mentally made my prediction of a strong finish for Germany and/or Turkey. And I was dead wrong. Still, both played well, and in my mind this game will always be "The one where Germany took Sevastapol in 1902." As has been mentioned, I think that rogue unit had a big impact on the early game. If nothing else, it developed the blood feud between Germany and Russia that essentially undid them both.
I think turkey had a strong showing, but seemed unable to gain a solid alliance.
Germany was ambitious, perhaps overly so, as it appears he was attacking Russia and England both when he was stabbed by France.
England did fine. His downfall was the French F Bre-Eng in Spring 02, which I'm not certain he could have predicted. once the channel fell, he had to play defensively, and thus lost the ground he had gained.
Russia started out well, but just got dog-piled. Not sure if that was a diplomatic failing, or if it was just "one of those things" where the stars aligned against him. I remember an email from him with his F02 moves being "cautiously optimistic" about the game. That was the turn he was attacked by all four of his neighbors. However, with grit and determination, he managed to eke out a survival, outlasting every other power besides the victors. That says volumes.
Austria and Italy, they were one of the very few (maybe only) alliances that lasted all game. I think this was their success. I am surprised that the two powers with so many combined NMRs managed to win, and frankly, that sort of irks the GM side of me.  But at the same time, they did do a good job of setting up a defense against France, and they deserved the draw.
France played the game well, obviously. He certainly earned his lion's share in the draw, and came very close to soloing. The last couples rounds were sort of guessing games, and those are tough ones to call especially as a player.
Congrats to the 3 draw participants! You were a good group to work with! I'm sure I'll see some of you in round two!

Thanks to the GM and all the players. It was a fun one.
Here are my thoughts on the game...
I opened on initially friendly terms with everyone around me, but quickly started stabbing. I violated a truce in the Black Sea early on and used it to gain an upper hand over Russia. I was working well with Germany and I saw the opportunity to expand into Russia and Austria with his help. I had been talking for a while with France and I was convinced in 1902-1903 that I would see the French fleets in the Med (if you recall he had 2 there and Italy was not positioned to counter) move against Italy. It was on those pretenses (and believing that Italy and Austria were not allied but merely neutral) that I stabbed Austria to grab Serbia. Unfortunately, the French attack on Italy that I was promised and the Austrian/Italian alliance I didn't believe in were both untrue. At that point, with no allies remaining on the board and Germany retreating to fight his own battles, I was left scrambling to defend. I made a few bad guesses but in the end, I couldn't hold off the AI attack with nobody really attacking them on the backside.
Apologies to Austria and Russia for the stabs, but alas, you both survived and I did not...
Best,Matt

"...the blood feud between Germany and Russia that essentially undid them both."
Not sure if that's how I see it. What undid me, in my humble opinion, was the kamikaze German army marching all the way to Sevastopol. I keep looking back over this game, asking myself how I could possibly have predicted, and then properly defended, against such an unorthodox (euphemism) approach. Honestly, surviving this game, especially given that Germany did not, is one of my favorite Diplomacy accomplishments to date. Thank you to both France and Austria, who actively participated in my survival. It's interesting how easy it is to find allies, when your enemy has attacked or lied to everyone. Germany's ambition (euphemism) was what undid him. The blood feud merely served to keep me alive long after I should have been eliminated.
I have to say though, I've been thoroughly impressed with everyone in this game. I feel like there is something to be learned from several situations, and I'm likely to be a stronger player for having been a part of it. Yes Germany, even your bizarre (euphemism) approach, while unlikely to win enough friends to survive, was educational. The testicular fortitude required to begin the game the way you did was inspiring. I can only assume that we shared the viewpoint that the only way to win the Winter Blitz is to solo in Round 1. Short of that however, there is a great personal victory in surviving against all odds.
Good luck to everyone in Round 2!

Alright, alright, I will give in and provide some general overviews on the game.
First of all, I must apologize for my disappearance in the later rounds. I had to go on a business trip to Asia which completely screwed up my schedule and I failed to submit my moves on a couple of occassions. No disrespect intended!
I appreciate the accolades on my venture to Sevastopol. In all honesty, it happened because the move made the most sense on a turn-by-turn basis. Only the initial move into Bohemia from Munich was "unorthodox". From there it was pure Realpolitik. I wanted to trick Austria by not going to Vienna on the second turn and I guessed correctly that no one would be expecting me to move to Gallicia. From there, I knew that I was most affraid of the "Mad Dog of Moscow" and made a conscious decision to move against him. After taking Sevastopol, I sent numerous appeals to the Russian so as to salvage our relationship but as it turned out, the relationship was unsalvageable. Instead, the Russian was able to use his remaining army to cause havoc for me in the west and effectively prevented me from being able to resist the French. I thought that the Turkish armies could have offered greater resistance to the Austrians and, in retrospect, probably should have helped Istanbul more than I did.
My three great regrets in this game are closely inter-connected. First and foremost, I regret cannabilizing England. He and I had a nice partnership going and I had to stab him in the back in order to survive. It was truly a pity. The main reason for the deterioration of this alliance was because I stupidly trusted the French when he told me that he would not to go into the Ruhr in 1903 and I naively decided not to block his move. Upon seeing the results of that turn, I knew immediately that the Parisan foray into Germany could potentially ruin the entire game for me. As it turned out, this was, in fact the case since it effectively allowed the French to take Holland and solidify his fleets against England. In all honesty, however, I should say that England was too lukewarm in guaranteeing cooperation with me and because of this I was constantly expecting him to stab me in the back, resulting in my trying to cooperate with the French.
My last regret was the failure of a Franco-German alliance to materialize in the final stages of the game. It would have been very fun for our two militaries to have an apocalyptic battle against Austria and Italy. I still believe that this could have resulted in a dual victory or a solo victory for the French. France acted cautiously fearing a backstab on my part, which was a completely understanadable opinion from his perspective, but ultimately not correct. I was fully commited to an alliance. However, if men were mind readers then we wouldn't have so much fun playing diplomacy!
Thank you for a great game gentlemen. It was a pleasure playing with all of you and I wish you all the best in the next round.
Sincerely,
Z German

Hi All,Retreats are in, just in time for a long Spring Break -- time to reflect on the past year and look forward to the Summer. Remember those New Year's resolutions to spend more time outside, work out, get in shape? The ones that fell apart as soon as you stepped out the front door and felt the blast of freezing air scratch the back of your throat? This is the season where we once again venture outside to test the weather... and only a month or two until we retreat back into the cool safety of air-conditioning.
So spend this next week enjoying a bit of Mother Nature.Of course --- Mad Men just came back on the air. Hmm.....
And like the great son of the guy upstairs (can you tell how religious I'm *not*?), this game to shall resurrect after Easter.
Deadline for Fall 05 moves is Tuesday 4/10 at 5PM MST.
Spring 05 Retreat RESULTS:-------------------------------------------Archers: A Hundred Acre Wood - Starkadh
Magicians: F Timberlands - IstarA Uhl Belk - Everglot
Trolls: A Cave of Ordeals - TroldhaugenF BIKINI BOTTOM - Enchanted Isles

Good riddance to this game. It started good, then Dorian took Munich and I worried it would all be downhill. Then that got resolved and France got kicked, and we got to the midgame, which I usually don't enjoy. But Scott made it fun, and it was always nice to talk to Tim a few times each turn.
Then I don't know what happened. Scott and I explicitly agreed Tim was playing us, but then we kept siding with him at crucial points. In the spring, I voted for the ET but decided, if it didn't pass for some reason, that Tim should win. There was really no malice towards Scott, it just seemed like the only game-changing thing I could do.
Brian, sorry we could never get our act together. You tried hard to get a GR going, and though I still fundamentally disagree with that as an idea, I shouldn't have doubted you. I thought you were just trying to lull me into false security. So I pre-empted for nothing.
Dorian, it was an odd game but glad we could work together towards the end. Andrew, bravo on using your fleet to such destruction, and also bravo for such a cold-hearted stab re: not convoying. It coulda been cool! Mike, sorry that........ you were Austria? Things just went terribly, despite my attempts at convincing Scott/Tim otherwise.
Tim, congrats on the win, it was great talking with you, and now I know not to believe a word you say. Except that I'm sure you'll convince me to do something crazy next game, too. Sigh.
Thanks Cory for GMing, it's tough GMing on a weekly schedule so I can't imagine doing it on WB's schedule.
Take care, and hope to see you all in another game soon!
Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't take this opportunity to ask (beg?) you to look at the new variant Matt Kremer and I created, Game of Thrones. Playtest game is happening on DC - we got 6 players but we need a 7th. If you're a fan of the series, you should definitely get in on this.
Good game all around,-Maslow

The E/T endgame proposal fails, so the game continues... long enough for a Turkish solo!
Germany bounces Turkey's attempt to take Moscow and holds on to Warsaw, but the Turks march into Munich. England's attempt to regain Spain fails to specify a coast, but would not have succeeded anyway. With Turkey also taking control of Marseilles, that gives him a total of 18 centers and a solo victory. The final game map and Dip file are attached for your reference.
Thanks for playing, everyone, and good luck in round 2 of the Blitz! Cory P.S. My apologies for mediocre GMing early in this game. I resolve to do better in round

"It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing. The shadow, even the darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you - That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding onto something."

Many congrats to Tim! And thank you and Dorian for making my little piratical act end as I'd intended - with me losing, but everyone else save Turkey losing as well. Mutually assured destruction, yay!
Alex, I wish I had convoyed you to Edi as planned - Turkey convinced me to help him knock you down a peg and let England stab you fully, but to my dismay that almost fell apart and nearly resulted in England pulling off a stalemate line!
Fun game, though I wish I hadn't been so busy this last term and had a couple critical sets of orders go missing. I might have been a survivor. The opening aggressiveness towards me by Germany and England didn't worry me too much, as I figured it would pull Russia and maybe Austria west and toss us all into a fun melee. Italy in Munich almost made that a catastrophe for Germany, and if the orders had made it in as planned England would have seen two fleets off his western coast in year 2, with only a single build to counter!
But still, props to you guys for pulling off an early attack on me, even if Alex did tip me off to the convoy to Picardy. And props to Turkey for a well played push to a complete victory!

Hi everyone,
Russia retreats to Kiel.
Like I said yesterday - I screwed up England's convoy orders. A revised map and .dpy file are attached.
There's an EGP to vote upon, an AEI draw. Please include your votes with your autumn moves.
The Autumn 1913 deadline will be next Wednesday 4 April, 2000GMT. I'll try to get us back to Monday deadlines from Spring 1914.

OUCH!

| DC 409: Fall 1910 - AceRimmer (Mar 29, 2012, 2:53 pm) |
No retreats today, as Turkey pre-emptively orders A Ukraine - Sevastopol. Elsewhere, it's the ongoing story of an overwhelmed Sultanate giving way freely to advancing French fleets. And the question arises: is there a solo being thrown? [Speaking as somebody who recently threw a solo in a no-press game, I know it can be done]. Or is Turkey hoping to make himself indispensable in a draw? And will France bite for the bait? Very tempting questions. Should be a lively discussion at the pub tonight.
We may know more in the Spring, for there is a 2-way FG draw proposal. Votes will be counted in the Spring and not sooner.
Meanwhile, France and Germany get a chance to build:
Austria: Supp 3 Unit 3 Build 0
France: Supp 14 Unit 11 Build 3
Germany: Supp 10 Unit 8 Build 2
Turkey: Supp 7 Unit 7 Build 0
By the way, if you've been following the scoreboard, two games have already ended with 3- and 4-way draws. Another (DC 413) appears to be headed for a 3- or 4-way draw in spite of a 16-center France. And yet another (DC 40 is a viable Turkish solo on account of NMRs. Just keeping you informed.

Hey all,
France has waived his build. So the .gif and .dpy will be the same as for fall. See you all on Monday. If I get "Yes" votes from everyone on one of the draws before that, I will end the game at that point. I'm not trying to force the game's end by any means, but I just letting you know. Remember the two draws on the table right now are the FA and the FIA. And if both pass it will be recorded as a FA draw.

If I get "Yes" votes from everyone on one of the draws before that, I will end the game at that point. I'm not trying to force the game's end by any means, but I just letting you know. Remember the two draws on the table right now are the FA and the FIA. And if both pass it will be recorded as a FA draw.

*Little Change Across the Board!*
*Russia Loses St. Pete!*
*NO NMRS!*
Hey all,
Most of the seasons draws have been proposed, we've had an NMR that automatically disqualified the proposal (since NMR's are automatic no votes). This round we have a full set of orders, but all three draws fail. So that should tell you each draw was voted down by at least one player (though perhaps not the same player in each case). Regardless, this means the war continues on. More draws are proposed. The FA and the FIA are back on the table. Votes due with SPRING orders, since only france has a Winter build.
Now might be a good time to talk about the "No Substantial Change" rule in the Blitz. If the game is stalemated or nearly stalemated for 2 game years then the GM can declare a DIAS. It looks like we may possibly be heading into such a situation, so consider how the consequences of that will affect you. Assuming you don't want the "No Substantial Change" rule to take effect, there are at least three ways to stop it:
1) A center changes hands. This can not be two allied countries swapping centers to arbitrarily lengthen the game (though an actual stab by one or more would count).
2) A player writes to me explaining why the game he thinks the game is not stalemated or essentially stalemated.
3) Obviously, if an end game proposal passes beforehand, that would take precedence.
Technically, as the GM, i don't have to give you a warning about invoking the no substantial change ruling until 1 game year into it, but I see the game heading that direction, and I wanted to give you the heads up in advance. Assuming 1911 or 1912 don't see any center changes, the game would end after Fall 1912. If there is a center taken during that time, this either becomes moot or is pushed back till two years after the center is taken.
Hope that makes sense. I know I get kind of verbose in my explanations, but I want to make sure it is absolutely clear to everyone.
So remember: Vote on FA and FAI draw, and France gains one unit, so I need a build from him.
Thanks!!!
John

| DC406: Spring 05 Results!!!! - offdisc (Mar 29, 2012, 12:11 am) |
Hi All,As some of you know, I coach High School debate. This year, there has been a lot of focus on US wars with nations around the globe, and each one jockeying for position in Space. Analysis of the situations is researched, discussed, dissected, and re-spun to form their arguments. What strikes me funny, year in and year out, is how opposing sides end up quoting the same source material. Does anyone in politics or science ever take a specific stand and stick to it?
And so another year of intrigue and deceit starts in the Haven. I have reports from many of you, diaries in a way, and constantly draw the similarities between the Haven intrigues and those in Real Life. You all say things and then reverse course; make predictions, and then insure they come true (or purposely block them!); but, year in and year out, your tunes all change. It's quite fun being a GM!
And then there are those pessimists out there who count themselves dead and buried, yet seem to have new friends popping up! See, in the Haven, you can never tell which side Lady Fortune is helping each turn. She's as fickle as the rest of y'all.
So, thank you for the entertainment! And this year, thank you for getting the moves in on time and keeping the game rolling!That being said, we will have a vacation break from 3/30 -> 4/7.
Fall 04 Move Deadline will be Tuesday 4/10. (Monday 4/9 is Rockies Opening Day, and I'll be a little too 'celebratory' to handle processing moves).
One army was dislodged and attempted to swim to safety, but the raging waters and ravaging pirates (not to mention sharks and such) got the better of them and all were drowned.
