| DC 373: Game On - AceRimmer (Oct 04, 2011, 11:14 am) |
Of Matt "Ariovistus" O'Donnell, the history books (i.e. Caesar's Gallic Wars) inform us:
"[Caesar] then made the same demands which he had commissioned the embassadors to make, that [Ariovistus and his Germans] should not make war either upon [Rome's] allies, that he should restore the hostages; that if he could not send back to their country any part of the Germans, he should at all events suffer none of them any more to cross the Rhine."
Negotiations failed as Ariovistus' cavalry escort provoked a skirmish with Caesar's. Caesar and Ariovistus returned to their camps. After several days of repositioning...
"Thereupon the engagement was renewed, and all the enemy turned their backs, nor did they cease to flee until they arrived at the river Rhine, about fifty miles from that place. There some few, either relying on their strength, endeavored to swim over, or, finding boats, procured their safety. Among the latter was Ariovistus, who meeting with a small vessel tied to the bank, escaped in it."
So, Ariovistus departed the pages of Caesar's histories... and of DC 373... but not so the Germans! Their forces may be depleted, but they remain, and they are well-spoken as always in the arts of Diplomacy:
"[German] embassadors came to him from their state, whose speech was as follows: 'That the Germans neither make war upon the Roman people first, nor do they decline, if they are provoked, to engage with them in arms; for that this was the custom of the Germans handed down to them from their forefathers, - to resist whatsoever people make war upon them and not to avert it by entreaty'."
Enter Alex, better known as Maslow. I have both GM'd and been GM'd by Maslow. He was a participant in the legendary 10-year, entirely NMR-free DC 345. It's good to have you on board. I think you'll recognize a couple of familiar faces.
In case you haven't figure out yet, this is a Julius-Caesar-themed game. You can expect to be tortured with strange, out-of-context Caesar-related commentary.
I am resetting the deadline for Friday at 2:00 p.m. CST (Maslow lives in Alaska, and afternoon deadlines work better for him, if I recall). I can adjudicate sooner if everybody prefers.
Maslow, I'd send you a .dpy, but mine is loaded with everybody's orders, so please download the .dpy if you like from the game site by clicking on the little computer icon to the left and slightly below the game map:
http://diplomaticcorp.com/game_page.php?game_id=dc373
Meanwhile, I am attaching the current map as a GIF.
Here is our updated email roster:
Austria ??? Jack McHugh
England ??? Dirk Knemeyer
France ??? Mark Mizak
Germany ??? Alex Maslow
Russia ??? Stephen Osellame
Gentlemen, the caution flag has been stashed away, you may return to ruling the world.[Reply] |

First, thanks all for a fun game. I've never seen a game like this one, so always fun to experience something new and original.
Thanks to the GM for hanging in there when his real life was obviously creating challenged. Enjoyed your editorial posts in the results especially the final one, that was a hoot! you definitely have a talent for storytelling.
early game: I earnestly worked to put an alliance in place in the West with France and Germany. That gave us all an early advantage which both France and I took advantage of. I thought Germany could have been more aggressive but he concentrated on the the builds he had easily instead of hitting the eastern front.
A couple fo things concerned me with the alliance early.
- Germany was insisting on getting half of Scandinavia and France wanted Belgium in the long run , though he graciously let me take Belgium for early growth, I did take the Channel to get to Belgium which was a violation but we patched that up.
- A previous alliance of BF and G, I had seen ended up with FG turning on England successfull as well
So I decided the BGF would probably end up in my demise and put out feelers to both F and G to see if one would turn on the other with my assistance. Neither gave me much confidence that would happen so that convinced me that I would eventually be the target.
With Russia willing to work with me, Germany appeared to be the easier target so I decided to go with an RB with the possibility of still working with France and when Russia left ST Pete unoccupied as a clear signal of trust I went full in with the concept of RB.
France was worried about a Russian Turk steamroller so I leveraged that to get Germany to expose himself and like a pit bull went for the jugular.
When France did not show any sign of reacting towards me, I took advantage of timing and took and felt as long as Russia hung in with the alliance, we were golden.
We both saw the Turkish backside exposed and I was thrilled to see R stab T. IT further signified his commitment to RB.
I encouraged AH to cooperate because I felt AH would be essential to stop a Russian solo, if and when, Doug went for it.
The whole time , the RB success was contingent on a well planned DMZ in Scandinavia and St Pete that gave both of us time to react in the event of a stab or solo push.
Doug was a great partner, thanks very much Doug. I look forward to France's EOG I felt he played a good game but just ended up overextended. Italy, great job hanging in for the survival. How did you manage that?
Thanks all,
Look forward to playing again.

Dear all
Many thanks for the game.
From turkey’s corner two things defined my game, one was that ger and fra turned their back on eng; not wise as once eng gets up to about six centres, with
ger and fra occupied elsewhere they are difficult to defeat, if not nearly impossible. My second issue was I just didn’t ever feel that comfortable with any of the proposed eastern alliances. I didn’t trust Russia, I felt him and Italy were just too close
and basically waiting for me to help nobble ah, and then would turn on me, yet I didn’t quite see how, much as I would have liked, to ally with ah, it’s just too difficult to sustain. When Italy collapsed and eng’s exponential growth, I felt able to throw
my lot in with Russia, surely he wouldn’t attack me and thus split the only credible alliance against eng, but he did, and very effectively thus bagging a two way draw very early on!
Well done to eng and Russia. I hope to play again with some of you, apologies to ah and good luck.

Subject: The Zombie Lords Revealed
Across all of Europe the zombies have rampaged, devouring the strong and the guilty as well as the weak and the innocent. Military forces have crested and ebbed again and again in massive
violence fighting both with other nations as well as the against their own former citizen's now turned into mindless monsters. Throughout the lands speculation has been wild. The public had considered the rise of the zombies as a sign of god, or a sign of
the devil, blame had been placed on medical testing to reckless disregard to the laws of church and nature. But as the conflict spread two nations seemed best equipped to defeat their enemies as well as the zombie hordes.
-------------------------------------------------
The fireplace burned brightly in the corner, but the rest of the lights were dimmed, causing eerie shadows to dance and twist along the walls. Two men stand over a large wooden table peering
down at documents in front of them, their shadows cast long over a map of Europe.
"Well, my friend, it appears our plans have worked."
"Yes." came the short answer from a smile curled around a slowly smoldering cigarette.
"The other nations have all but given up. Perhaps we should release the vaccine now?" The first voice a bit more nervous than the other.
"I suppose comrade. If you wish." A pair of hands, covered in black leather gloves smooth over a map of Europe, arrows and crosses showing the routes of massive armies and their victories.
"They all seem ready to cave as it is."
"Do you ever think that maybe we shouldn't have done it? All those innocents dead, your countrymen, my country men." A hint of regret fills the speaker's voice.
"No." The answer firm and direct. "What we have done has ensured the survival of our nations for the next two centuries. A few million is a small sacrifice to secure the future for the
rest of us."
"Yes... I suppose you are right."
--------------------------------------------------
"What do you mean, it doesn't work?" the army official angrily questioned the younger man in a lab coat.
"I didn't say it didn't work!" the technician attempted to explain, again, with frustration mounting in his voice. "It just doesn't always work!"
The commander of the research facility slammed his fist against the desk. "Damn it man, it either works or it doesn't work. Does it work?"
"Look, here is what happens. In most subjects the vaccine works fine. It will revert recent zombification victims to human status and prevent future zombification infections."
"So it works!"
"In MOST subjects!" the technician interrupted, "In very rare cases the vaccine will appear to work and continue working for months before the subject begins to... revert."
"Do they all revert?" The commander looked concerned now, as realization dawned across his face.
"We don't know, we've only be testing for a few years. It seemed to work perfectly to begin with, but we never had a chance to study the long term effects before you folks decided to unleash
it on the world! What's worse is there is evidence to suggest that even in healthy non-zombified humans the vaccine can cause the change to take place in the long term, but we haven't confirmed whether or not that can happen or how common it will be. We just
don't know."
"And we never will." The commander clasped his hands in front of his chin, deep in thought.
"What do you mean? We have to research this more, we need to find out.."
It was the commander's turn to interrupt, "Find out what?" He snapped angrily, "Whether or not we are all doomed? The vaccine has already been handed out like candy across the world. If
we go public with this information now all that will happen is the brass will see that we are silenced. No. We bury this report. We burn it, and we bury it that is the only way we stay alive."
"And... and then what?" the scientist seemed defeated and scared now, as if reality had come crashing down around him.
"Then we both go home and pray to god that you are wrong."
--------------------------------------------
The sun was shining bright on the shores of Naples. A family was taking an outing, enjoying the fair weather. Life was finally returning to some semblance of normal. Along the shoreline
various buildings were still in ruins, reminders of the brutal conflict that had taken place. Several locals had taken to combing the shore for pieces of scrap metal that would still wash up from the destroyed fleets. On a good day the scavengers could bring
in a hefty load of iron and steel, on the bad days all they found were bloated half eaten corpses.
Fernando and his family were hoping they'd find neither today. The harbor wall had done a good job of keeping most of the debris off of this particular stretch of beach. "Don't go wading
in too far!" he called to his children, "Lunch will be ready soon!" He felt blessed each and every day that his family had made it through the war untouched. His brother had not been so lucky when his wife had succumb to the infection and turned on him. He
was able to fend her off, their infant had not been as fortunate. It was a wonder he hadn't killed himself in grief.
He shook his head, trying to abandon such dark thoughts on a sunny day. It would have helped had there been a few more families out to enjoy the great weather. They seemed to have the beach
to themselves other than for the strange figure in the distance who was slowly limping down the beach. Fernando idly wondered if he'd join them for lunch, he looked like he might be a wounded soldier from the war...
---------------------------------------------
"Did you bring the proof?" A hushed voice asked from behind a thick wooden door.
"Ja, it is here, let me in." The short man's eyes darted nervously up and down the street. As soon as the door was open more than a crack he pushed through into the foyer of the house in
what used to part of the German Empire.
"Here it is." he said pulling an envelope form his coat. "Documents, they prove everything."
The older man's eyes lit up and his mouth opened in a wide grin. "So we can finally prove they started the entire plague. We can prove they were the ones who caused everything."
"Yes, yes! All we need to do is go public and their hegemony will be destroyed." The shorter man smiled.
The soft report of a silenced pistol went off and the shorter man clutched at his abdomen. "I am sorry friend, but what will that do? It won't bring back the German Empire, it won't bring
back our rule. But what they will do is pay for silence, and pay handsomely, and that money, and time, can buy influence and, ultimately, revenge."
The shorter man attempted to speak but no sound would come, he could feel the blood flooding into his lungs, drowning him like so many German soldiers drowned in the northern seas.
"Don't worry my friend, we will have our vengeance, Germany will remember all you have done, but this requires a delicate touch. A better sense of... diplomacy."

Voted civilization least likely to survive 3 years... The Magicians!
Their last city overrun by Trolls and their great fleet in the High Seas under fire from a tightly orchestrated 3-prong multinational attack led by the slimy, ravenous, gurgling Trolls (who knew they were such tactical naval planners?)... where will they attempt to take to the shores? Perhaps they could teleport down to Whoville where the Ogres and Samurai continue to wage their war for control of the sleepy Christmas town. Perhaps a reread of the classic could teach our battle-be-goers that it's not what you take but what you give that counts.
Speaking of giving... every nation with any sort of proximity to the Leprechauns - obviously concerned - sends an envoy to investigate the sudden disappearance of all rainbows. Will they find a pot of gold? Or some very nervous Leprechauns...
Lone barbarian spotted wandering around the streets of the Kingdom of Hearts. When a local interviewer stopped him to discuss the impact of psuedo Knightly Gnomatic traditions on the future of Barbarian cultural institutions in Brennin, he...

Subject: The Zombie Lords
Revealed
Across all of Europe the zombies have rampaged, devouring the strong and the guilty as well as the weak and the innocent. Military forces have crested and ebbed again and again in massive violence fighting both with other nations as well as the against their own former citizen's now turned into mindless monsters. Throughout the lands speculation has been wild. The public had considered the rise of the zombies as a sign of god, or a sign of the devil, blame had been placed on medical testing to reckless disregard to the laws of church and nature. But as the conflict spread two nations seemed best equipped to defeat their enemies as well as the zombie hordes.
-------------------------------------------------
The fireplace burned brightly in the corner, but the rest of the lights were dimmed, causing eerie shadows to dance and twist along the walls. Two men stand over a large wooden table peering down at documents in front of them, their shadows cast long over a map of Europe.
"Well, my friend, it appears our plans have worked."
"Yes." came the short answer from a smile curled around a slowly smoldering cigarette.
"The other nations have all but given up. Perhaps we should release the vaccine now?" The first voice a bit more nervous than the other.
"I suppose comrade. If you wish." A pair of hands, covered in black leather gloves smooth over a map of Europe, arrows and crosses showing the routes of massive armies and their victories. "They all seem ready to cave as it is."
"Do you ever think that maybe we shouldn't have done it? All those innocents dead, your countrymen, my country men." A hint of regret fills the speaker's voice.
"No." The answer firm and direct. "What we have done has ensured the survival of our nations for the next two centuries. A few million is a small sacrifice to secure the future for the rest of us."
"Yes... I suppose you are right."
--------------------------------------------------
"What do you mean, it doesn't work?" the army official angrily questioned the younger man in a lab coat.
"I didn't say it didn't work!" the technician attempted to explain, again, with frustration mounting in his voice. "It just doesn't always work!"
The commander of the research facility slammed his fist against the desk. "Damn it man, it either works or it doesn't work. Does it work?"
"Look, here is what happens. In most subjects the vaccine works fine. It will revert recent zombification victims to human status and prevent future zombification infections."
"So it works!"
"In MOST subjects!" the technician interrupted, "In very rare cases the vaccine will appear to work and continue working for months before the subject begins to... revert."
"Do they all revert?" The commander looked concerned now, as realization dawned across his face.
"We don't know, we've only be testing for a few years. It seemed to work perfectly to begin with, but we never had a chance to study the long term effects before you folks decided to unleash it on the world! What's worse is there is evidence to suggest that even in healthy non-zombified humans the vaccine can cause the change to take place in the long term, but we haven't confirmed whether or not that can happen or how common it will be. We just don't know."
"And we never will." The commander clasped his hands in front of his chin, deep in thought.
"What do you mean? We have to research this more, we need to find out.."
It was the commander's turn to interrupt, "Find out what?" He snapped angrily, "Whether or not we are all doomed? The vaccine has already been handed out like candy across the world. If we go public with this information now all that will happen is the brass will see that we are silenced. No. We bury this report. We burn it, and we bury it that is the only way we stay alive."
"And... and then what?" the scientist seemed defeated and scared now, as if reality had come crashing down around him.
"Then we both go home and pray to god that you are wrong."
--------------------------------------------
The sun was shining bright on the shores of Naples. A family was taking an outing, enjoying the fair weather. Life was finally returning to some semblance of normal. Along the shoreline various buildings were still in ruins, reminders of the brutal conflict that had taken place. Several locals had taken to combing the shore for pieces of scrap metal that would still wash up from the destroyed fleets. On a good day the scavengers could bring in a hefty load of iron and steel, on the bad days all they found were bloated half eaten corpses.
Fernando and his family were hoping they'd find neither today. The harbor wall had done a good job of keeping most of the debris off of this particular stretch of beach. "Don't go wading in too far!" he called to his children, "Lunch will be ready soon!" He felt blessed each and every day that his family had made it through the war untouched. His brother had not been so lucky when his wife had succumb to the infection and turned on him. He was able to fend her off, their infant had not been as fortunate. It was a wonder he hadn't killed himself in grief.
He shook his head, trying to abandon such dark thoughts on a sunny day. It would have helped had there been a few more families out to enjoy the great weather. They seemed to have the beach to themselves other than for the strange figure in the distance who was slowly limping down the beach. Fernando idly wondered if he'd join them for lunch, he looked like he might be a wounded soldier from the war...
---------------------------------------------
"Did you bring the proof?" A hushed voice asked from behind a thick wooden door.
"Ja, it is here, let me in." The short man's eyes darted nervously up and down the street. As soon as the door was open more than a crack he pushed through into the foyer of the house in what used to part of the German Empire.
"Here it is." he said pulling an envelope form his coat. "Documents, they prove everything."
The older man's eyes lit up and his mouth opened in a wide grin. "So we can finally prove they started the entire plague. We can prove they were the ones who caused everything."
"Yes, yes! All we need to do is go public and their hegemony will be destroyed." The shorter man smiled.
The soft report of a silenced pistol went off and the shorter man clutched at his abdomen. "I am sorry friend, but what will that do? It won't bring back the German Empire, it won't bring back our rule. But what they will do is pay for silence, and pay handsomely, and that money, and time, can buy influence and, ultimately, revenge."
The shorter man attempted to speak but no sound would come, he could feel the blood flooding into his lungs, drowning him like so many German soldiers drowned in the northern seas.
"Don't worry my friend, we will have our vengeance, Germany will remember all you have done, but this requires a delicate touch. A better sense of... diplomacy."

Russia/England Draw was voted up by everyone. I apologize for the delay, but I wanted time to give you guys a slightly more enjoyable end game email. A final map will be distributed/uploaded as soon as I get back onto my laptop and off a work computer. I hope you all enjoyed the game and were willing to forgive the minor delays and setbacks. I hope you enjoyed my ending story lines as well. I felt I needed to give you something special after delaying so many deadlines on my part.

I have a 2-center Germany which is nonetheless crucially situated between the larger Austrian and English empires. I require the services of a gallant Centurion from the Light Brigade (or a gallant soldier of fortune from outside the Light Brigade) to take over the reins.
