| (DC 326) Gumball Gunboat - GAME OVER! - Corrino (Jan 12, 2011, 8:33 pm) |
Hey Gumballers,
The blessed day has come! After 35 weeks of battle, peace has broken out in Europe! By unanimous agreement of all surviving parties, I hereby declare this game to have ended in a 2-way draw.
Congratulations to our co-winners, Sun Chung (Austria) and Alex Bennett (Italy)!
Sun and Alex richly deserve the prize. I can honestly say I have never seen a gunboat alliance hold up for 17-and-a-half years. Heck, I've never seen a gunboat game last 17-and-a-half years, period.
Kudos, as well, to all the survivors, along with my thanks for playing
hard and sticking it out to the end. We had our troubles along the way,
didn't we? Seems not everyone possesses sufficient mettle for a
marathon game such as this. Before I proceed with my comments, here is your game roster.
Austria Sun Chung 1901-1918 Draw
England (1) Brian Lam 1901-1909 Abandon (3 NMRs)
England (2) Jess Morse 1910-1918 Survival
France
Scott
Hickey 1910-1918 Survival
Germany (1) Marc Peters 1901-1914 Abandon (3 NMRs)
Germany (2) Paul Russell 1915-1918 Survival
Italy Alex Bennett 1901-1918 Draw
Russia Nathan Merritt 1901-1918 Survival
Turkey Jeffrey Clay 1901-1915 Eliminated
Special thanks to Jess and Paul, who stepped in to save the game when the original players dropped out. Jess is my daughter, and this was her first try at on-line Diplomacy. Baby steps, right? She was quite happy that the draw passed this turn. France and Germany had submitted moves that
would have eliminated her.
Paul is an old friend and fellow dipper from way, way back. He introduced me to the game 30 years ago and, in fact, I still have the board and wooden pieces he gifted me with when he moved away.
(And just in case you're wondering, no, neither of them knew that the other was playing. I run a respectable game.)
Nathan was also a DC newbie. I think Russia had perhaps the most up and down game, but it was a fun one to watch. Hiding out in Scandinavia was a pretty clever move at the end, too. If you'd stayed home to fight, I think an elimination was a certainty.
Special congrats also go out to our Sultan, Jeff Clay, who stuck with his position for years on 1 dot until he was finally eliminated -- our one and only! -- in 1915. Somehow I think that the arrival of a new daughter at Jeff's house during the game more than made up for the pain of losing.
GM's End
of Game Comments
Those of you who were here from the beginning may have a hard time remembering, but this game was started as a Fleet Rome variant, meaning that Italy started with a fleet in
Rome instead of an army. The whole point of this arrangement is to make it easier for Austria and Italy to cooperate. I guess that worked as advertised, didn't it!
My gunboat experience is reasonably extensive, and what that experience has taught me is that Austria typically does not last long. Even worse than in regular Dip, where it is hard enough to survive playing the red. No matter which direction the easterners start off, after a couple of years, when the neutrals have been snagged and there is a big logjam in the Balkans, it seems that inevitably R/T/I become frustrated and, unable to communicate, take the easy way out and carve up Austria. On those occasions where Austria and Italy do seem to cooperate at the beginning, as soon as one or the other gets a couple of builds, the stab soon follows.
I thought we might have the same thing here, when Austria "accidentally" took Venice early on. In
theory, he was protecting it from Russian aggression (ah, the mad Russian and his army in Piedmont... remember that?) but once he was there, I was
surprised that (a) he never left and (b) he never went any further and (c) Italy never tried to reclaim it. As it turned out, it seemed that turning over Venice to Austria, worked to solidify the A/I alliance in a number of ways:
1. It gave Austria a place to park his fleet. He would never build another.
2. It eliminated the possibility of the quick stab from Italy.
3. It allowed Italy to focus 100% on the Med, since he didn't need to hang back to protect Venice or Rome.
Of course, none of that was inevitable in the beginning. How much of this was influenced by the Fleet Rome starting position as opposed to just having two players who were willing and able to pull of the game-long alliance? I'd welcome your comments on this question.
As solid as the A/I alliance was, it certainly didn't look like a world beater from the beginning. Germany, in particular, had multiple chances to seize the reins,
but a combination of oddly cautious play and untimely NMR's, he consistently shot himself in the foot. England likewise started strong only to be done in by NMR's even more than the Russians.
My overall impression of this game, especially in the early to middle years, was that it was very conservatively played. Beside Germany, I thought France and Austria also had their chances to bust out and make a solo bid, but it never happened. I'm not going to go back and compile statistics, but I have distinct memories of a couple of turns where multiple players just sat tight and supported themselves from imagined attacks that never occurred. Hey, easy for me to talk, isn't it? 
I've attached the final Realpolitik file for your perusal. The final map you already have from last turn.
End of game statements from players are welcome. You now have everyone's address, and you should also copy the game
forum as I've done.
Thanks very much to everyone for playing. Good luck in the Blitz, if you're playing, and whatever future Diplomatic adventures you may embark upon. It has been my pleasure to GM for you, and I hope you enjoyed the experience and will come back for more.
Cheers,
Chris[Reply] |

First, a big thanks to Chris for keeping on top of this game for well over half a year. A great example of consistent and thorough GMing.
Jeff gets a lot of credit for standing by what had to be the Diplomacy equivalent of a trip to the DMV, playing out the grindingly slow fate of Turkey after so many glimmers of hope. Jess deserves no less praise for taking over a lost cause and defending the British Isles with a pair of armies – exciting work!
I owe my being in the draw to Sun's tenacious tactics in the center and unwavering dedication to the alliance. I spent years and years sparring with France and Turkey and owed a lot of my very haphazard and modest success in the west to luck (some convenient NMRs, though at least one bad one) and a messy situation in France that let me get some fleets behind the lines to hinder development long enough to give us a shot. Stopping the German invasion of England in 1913-14 was especially fun.
When Austria took Venice (to protect it from marauding Cossacks, of course!) in Fall 1904 I expected to play out the string of an ignominious collapse. Looking at the map tonight, it's easy to see all the positives of Austria's keeping me around: Turkey and Russia were still viable, Germany was bearing down on him, and I was keeping the French southern forces occupied with Spanish shell games. But I think my analysis in July was simpler: hope for the best!
I agonized over whether building A ROM in 1911 would put Austria on the defensive. At that point Germany and Russia were encircling him. To my shame I made a few confused moves with that army (not recognizing Austria's move out of PIE as a friendly changing of the guard, for example). In the end I think getting that army all the way to Turkey helped preserve the draw by balancing the east a bit more, to discourage too easy of a stab, but I wonder what would've been possible had that army been in Piedmont as I strongly suspect Sun intended.
Austria taking Venice in a friendly way was an interesting element. I'd add to Chris's list that the extra SC let Austria build another critically important army at a time when Sun's fights with Germany, Russia and Turkey required a lot of armies. One less army and one front would've collapsed for sure, especially the east where things were one bad guess away from disaster for a spell.
In Fleet Rome the specialization of Italy into fleets and Austria into armies is a little easier to take for granted from the start. If I'd had the extra army in Italy I would've been in a better position to defend Venice and the Austrian occupation might never have happened. A second army also may have given me the resources to stab Austria in hopes of linking up with Russia or Germany, though the way this game went I don't think that would've been wise in any event. F ROM went east in this game.
All the best,
Alex |

First, thanks to Chris for GMing this game, it's a lot of work and even though I was only a late replacement, he consistently performs better than your average GM.
And also kudos to Nathan and Jess, and I hope you all play more!
I should apologize to France for bungling the elimination of England. I blame it on not playing a German invasion of England. Usually it's the other way around! Nathan's invasion of Scandinavia was well timed. I thought I could sneak my fleet to help crush England and -- oops!
Congratulations to Italy and Austria -- you two really played well. I had a solid lien to defend the stalemate, but I was looking for something more exciting. And I got my rear end handed to me by a clever and resourceful player! Humbling!
Well, I can't comment since I just tried to keep my
position, but your good play and my mistakes took a solid position into dust. I voted for the draw since I knew I couldn't win once Italy broke through France and Austrian armies were camped outside my cities.
Thanks for letting me play!

The stage is set, all tied up... in the quest to lead the Kingdom of Hearts... when from afar we hear the [BOOM] of canon fire! The Barbarian armada sends several rounds raining down on the Archer camp, while the thugs tear off their competition jerseys and club their way into the KOH.
It's conflict everywhere!
The Nomads get plowed in the south by a combined Ogre-Elf-Samurai eviction. Area declared a "no-roaming zone". Bounces occur in several provinces, leaving the critical build spots of Myth Drannor and Dargaard Keep unclaimed... and man the Magicians. Not only bounced from where they sought, but lose two home centers in one bang. On a bright note, some nations manage rather peaceful and plentiful epansion. 4 nations pull off the first turn hat trick and build 3.
There is one retreat! But Centaur F Cathal can only go to Anvard, so I just moved it there. Our Centaur leader may opt to take that OTB and build something else instead.

Guys -
It looks like Kaiser Konstantin has abandoned our game (and his 2 others? He's NMR'd in both of them). His position is strong, with 6 SC in a wide-open game. Spring 1906 is coming soon.
This is a position for a dynamic player who wants to send a lot of email, since Germany shares long borders with the three other major powers.

Many people have sent in prelims. Only a few have not - So please do not get in the habbit of turning nothing in till the last day! You can always change them throughout the turn. When revising orders, be sure to turn in a complete new set. i.e. when you turn in a new set, I delete the old, so don't just turn in the changes or you'd be missing the rest of your orders.

There has been a request by the vacationing player to adjudicate the Winter on Wednesday instead of today. Given the upcoming delay, I feel copacetic about adjudicating tomorrow instead of today.

| DC 341: S1907 Adjudication - AceRimmer (Jan 11, 2011, 11:11 am) |
The last orders trickle in. There was no need for retreat. Well, for the French army in Kiel, there was need, but there was not opportunity. Cut off in the prime of life, the Burgundian Brigade (BB) suffers a premature end. Born in the Winter of 1901, the BB spent most of its life in??? well, in Burgundy. After supporting A Mar-Bur in S1902, the BB advanced to Burgundy itself in F1902. There it stayed for three years until F1905 ??? sometimes supporting A Bel H, sometimes failing to enter Ruhr, sometimes supporting a failed effort of A Bel-Ruh. Then, in F1905, the BB had its breakthrough, advancing on a dizzying campaign of disruption into Ruhr, Munich, and (by retreat) Kiel. But sadly, in this Spring of 1907, isolated and exposed, the BB succumbed to a suffocating German assault. Fare the well, BB. You were taken from us too early. (Flowers may be sent to James Trickey at jdtsoft(at)jdtsoft.com).
Looking ahead to the Fall??? Will Turkey survive into 1908? It???s like a game of rock-paper-scissors. Matt Kelly, I???ve certainly appreciated your replacement assistance. I hope, for your sake, that we can appreciate it for another year. Or, in the words of the immortal poet:
???Oh, won't you stay
Just a little bit longer
Please let me hear
You say that you will???
Elsewhere, the French occupy Mid-Atlantic. The Italians occupy Piedmont, and the townspeople of Marseilles begin fleeing to the countryside. Russia???s northern fleets continue to assert themselves, occupying Norway and Liverpool. The Liverpudlians say, ???Da! Nyet! Slavsya Rossiya!??? (This last comment exists purely as an excuse to type ???Liverpudlian???).
The next deadline will be next Tuesday, January 18th, at the reasonable hour of 10:00 a.m. CST.

Hi Players,
Thanks to all for getting their orders in on time. I've spent the odd minute here or there trying to come up with a theme for this game, but inspiration has been lacking so I guess I'll just play it straight. Feel free to be disappointed or relieved, as you prefer.
Please review the results carefully and contact me immediately if you think there may have been an error. Odds are good that at some point I'm going to make a mistake. It's up to you to spot it and let me know ASAP. The tournament rules give you 24 hours to identify a mistake. In fact, it is much better to catch it immediately, given how quickly the turns will be coming.
Thanks to all, and good luck!
Chris
