| Housse Rules - dknemeyer (Jul 11, 2011, 11:20 am) |
Hi Pete,
Yes, that is why I had it 8 hours to begin with. But the days where that has happened, it has ruined my next WORK day, which is just not acceptable.
I think what I'm learning is I just don't want to GM anymore. It is really hard to fit into my professional life. I do it to give back to the DC community but the reality is, aside from being so time-pressed, I do not have the core skills that would make GM easy (being systematic, being detail-oriented).
At this point your grace period is already used so, for this game, it will have no impact.

Hi Dirk. Thanks for yours.
Can I point out an intrinsic unfairness in your grace period rule; in principle it affects me and I don't know about the others (no idea where they are all based), but it will equally be important in other games you GM.
It is because your deadlines are always at the same time of day - 2200 British time. A grace period from then, whether of 8 or 6 hours, is going to be entirely when British players are likely to be asleep, whereas those in the New World are wide awake.
If you are going to use grace periods, then they have to be equally available to all players.
Cheers,

| dc371: Sp10 Correction - dknemeyer (Jul 11, 2011, 8:57 am) |
Hi Everyone,
FYI, Greece ordered a bounce in Sparta (as opposed to not ordering ION). The attached maps reflect this correction.
Effective immediately my house rules now require players to report errors within 48 hours of posting the adjudication. Also effective immediately, my house rules are changed to allow only a one-time 6 hour - not 8 hour - grace period.
The deadline will not change unless someone requests it in the next six hours. Good luck.
Thanks,

Clashes all over the place – Skaggerak is the center of a bounce that sets all sorts of units back, while the south is no more peaceful with battles in Greece and Rumania… Italy sets up a classic Lepanto… and France has all sorts of options… Should be an interesting Fall – Due Tuesday! July 12, 3pm Central. There is one retreat but I just moved Turk A Con-Bul since it’s really the only option.
Enjoy,

| dc384 Autumn 05 adjudication stands - jerome777 (Jul 11, 2011, 3:25 am) |
Hi everyone,
First of all let me say that I'm very pleased that all is OK with Grant and his family. It's important to remember that Diplomacy is only a game, and that there are some things far more important than this.
Even though I feel sympathy for Grant and his position, and I'm sure that Grant is being honest in saying he sent me moves before looking at the adjudication, I'm unwilling to readjudicate the move set - let me try to explain why.
I received Grant's moves at 0010GMT Monday 11 July, four hours ten minutes after the deadline, and three hours 58 minutes after I had adjudicated the moves for the turn. One way of looking at the deadline is as the earliest time that I can make the adjudication for the turn. Whilst I'm happy to accept moves any time up to the adjudication, once the deadline has passed you should all assume that the adjudication can be made any time after this.
As Gerry said, it's a good idea to get some preliminary moves to me well before the deadline even if you think you might subsequently change them. Also, I am more than happy to delay the deadline for any of you, should real life get in the way of finalising your moves.
Given the circumstances, and the fact that I believe the NMR to be in extenuating circumstances, I think the fairest way for me to proceed is to refuse the request to include Grant's moves this time, but to ignore the NMR - i.e. not record the NMR as a black mark against Grant's profile, nor to hold strictly to the rule saying 'two consecutive NMRs and you're out the game' (as happened to the original Russia and Turkey in this game). I hope you can all understand the position I'm in here.
Please submit your builds and disbands by the deadline 2000GMT tonight (Monday 11 July), the deadline for Spring 1906 is Sunday 17 July 2000GMT.
Best wishes to all, particularly Grant and family,
Jerome

Good to hear all is well with your kids Grant
This is Jerome's call and Grant did miss the deadline. Without trying to sound like a nag that's why we try and send provisional orders early ( something I don't always practice ! )
Given the circumstances though I would agree to let the orders stand give Brian's qualifier.

The time that emails are sent is displayed on emails through gmail (Im assuming it is the same with hotmail, yahoo etc). That should be some sort of evidence of the order this happened in.

Hi everyone
Unfortunately I missed the deadline by a few hours due to an emergency with my children. Ive sent moves to Jerome (without looking at the moves of other players). If ALL other players are happy to accept my moves would it be possible to submit them? (obviously I wont say what they are because this could affect decisions - I have sent them to Jerome though). That said, I understand if players dont want to accept them - Im still playing the game.

the blitz orders mailbox as always.
Have a good week-end!
Cheers,

England EOG
The opening EFG alliance was strong, but definitely unsustainable. I was looking for an 'out' rather quickly, when I realized that I was in a bad position with the agreements.
I was expecting a quick demise of Russia, from the rumors sweeping around, but that didn't happen quite fast enough for me to expand.
Both France and Germany played well, and I couldn't sway them, so the writing was on the wall. As Michael indicated, I was very surprised by his reaction, but that's what I would have done as well. There was a window where I could have had the chance to run the board, but I was one turn off, and France was able to pivot far faster than I hoped.
Germany played tough, but Sun and I got caught in the trust issues, and I got caught in a death spiral.
I had one or two horrible moves and the one miss of retreats, which completely doomed me.
My learned lessons: EFG is confirmed again to be an impossible alliance for E, and if you're worried about being the one ganged up on by the two, you probably will be, either by design or self-fulfilling prophecy.

Well Austria is always a challenge and I believe you have to grow to five centers quickly or you become too tempting a target. My hope, which I thought I accomplished was to have alliances with Italy and Russia, but I was disappointed to see Russia let Turkey take the Black Sea. Russia seemed so concerned with Germany that he didn't want to alienate either A or T and I think that ended up being his undoing. As for Italy that NMR was disastrous and with my inability to get R to commit against T, i decided to take the Italian centers and cooperate with France. I just wish he had decided to shift against Britain
earlier and left me with those centers.
With Russia disappearing and a deal in place with F, i wanted to take Tout, an objective from the start, but he reneged and I quickly found my self being eaten at the edges from every direction. I was proud to see Austria emerge from the brink and believe that was possible as I was able to argue with F the point that T was more of a threat to him with their fleet.
G and I, had a non aggression pact from the start that was very helpful in letting us focus where we needed to. I really hoped that would establish a friendship that would last when he turned on F or E. I really didn't believe an E, F, G would last the whole game. It lasted a little longer than I needed it to. Had it dissipated a year earlier I would have been in great position.
My greatest error was hitting Italy in the game. He would have been a great barrier against France and would have allowed me to both assist him and deal with the west.
Anyway Dave described the late game very well. I was obviously happy with a three way and very surprised that f and G would go for a 2 way. I don't believe in two ways and offered my assistance first to G, who was loyal to F and declined, then to France. i wasn't sure France would go for it til I saw the final set of results and I congratulate Dave. I figured Dave would be hoping the attack on Vienna might precipitate my support for his solo. and in the end it did.
Ended up being a great and fun game. Let's do it again sometime.
I am an avid 190 player. you all should give it a go.
