All But Spain See Action (And I Bet He Is Happy Not To)
Ukraine Gets the Bulk of the Action, Some Good and Some Bad
Spain Definitely Lives Another Year (No Chance to Lose Tol in the Fall) But Poland Shall Be Gone
Sicily Advances in the Med But Falls Back in the Boot
Ukraine Takes the Last Hope for Poland and Northern Turkey...
BUT Loses Warsaw and The Black Sea
The Green Wave Slowly Moves Forward
All,
Great action. We are definitely right back on track. We had a lot of action and we need several retreats now:
Israelite F MAL can retreat to ION, PYL, TOB or OTB.
Ukranian A War can retreat to Mus, Mas, Liv or OTB.
Ukranian F WBS can retreat to Yal, Tau, Ode or OTB.
Let's get those retreats in by Tuesday at 6pm CST. From there we will have our Fall deadline be the following Monday at 6pm CST (Monday is the 17th).

Sun - attached is the gamestart email. Please communicate with the players as you wish.
Cory - I will do the appropriate stuff to update the players in the game.

Welcome to our round 1 game of DC Winter Blitz 2011, 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 nearly 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 a fair amount of my time. I work in the budget office of the Governor of Illinois, an unenviable task, as Illinois has been doing its best to catch up to California as the US state with the lowest bond rating. Incidentally, given our state's growing backlog of unpaid bills, does anyone know a good way to find $13 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) / 21:00 GMT.
An important note: when submitting orders, make sure to include the game identifier "dc-358" 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 is actually some good press in the dc-274 game, so you can read the different turns on that game to see some examples. Please be sure to introduce yourselves to your fellow players.
Don't forget to check out the game's page on the DC web site at www.diplomaticcorp.com/game_page.php?game_id=dc358 -- 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! We have a nice mix of experienced and newer members of DC for this game:
Austria: Jeffrey Krauss (diplomacy-at-jeffreyk.com)
England: Kon Lederer (konworldwide-at-gmail.com)
France: Christian Wen (christian.wen-atgmail.com)
Germany: Bruce Ray (raybrucea-at-aol.com)
Italy: Thomas Fletcher (tfletch33-at-yahoo.com)
Russia: Jack Taylor (smt125-at-hotmail.com)
Turkey: Robert Bolin (Robert-at-Draugnar.com)
The spring 1901 deadline will be Monday, January 10 at 3pm Central (US) / 21:00 GMT. Preliminary orders are strongly encouraged! Thanks for playing, everyone, and happy stabbing!

| WB DC366 Reminder - Don't Start By Missing the Fir... - garry.bledsoe (Jan 09, 2011, 9:14 am) |
Ugh. Still missing some orders and probably unable to find replacements at this time. Please let this serve as your reminder. These do not come often. Consider this about the only time that there will be one.
Please make sure that you have a confirmation from me on orders. I have confirmed anything that has been received at this point. Individual reminders coming as warranted!
Grrr...

Subject: WB Gamestart! DC366 Is Your Game
Date: Mon, 3 Jan 2011 16:20:07 -0500
Welcome to
the greatest show on earth!
WinterBlitz
2011!
I am happy to report to you that I get the pleasure of running your Rd 1 game for the tournament for the time being. Given the overwhelming number of entries
and boards this year (10, yes 10) we were running short on GMs so I am pulling
double-duty, GM and co-TD. So unless we get another member to step forward, I
will be running your game for the foreseeable future.
So on to
some business. Please read ALL the way through. This is a LOT of business to
attend to and important:
* Our Winter
Blitz Round 1 game has been designated as dc366. Please make sure
that I am on your "safe" list with your email box so that emails from
me do not get caught in the spam filter!
* As you may
note, WB Rules preclude country assignments and those have been selected and
are listed below. Note only one of you can say they got stuck with Italy (sorry
Benjy). It was random so blame the (at)randbetween function of Excel, not me.
Please feel free to introduce yourselves to everyone and to start your
diplomacy.
* 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/winterblitz
-- be sure to click the "Rules" option near the top of the main
screen once you go to this page. You can also look at my House Rules on
the DC site. Where not overruled by WB rules, these rules prevail.
* I ask that orders be precise and
appropriately labeled so I don't misunderstand them. Also, please note that I
rarely check orders ahead of time for accuracy so you may want to do so
yourself. If they are unclear, I will order them as a misorder. Typically I
give the benefit of the doubt (if you say A Ven and it was really a F in Ven
but the move order is valid for a F, I WILL move it). Thus, I have had some
players in the past who intentionally misordered (devious buggers) TELL me that
they were doing so so that I did not try to interpret their orders.
Would like you to submit in some
fashion like this:
Subject: DC366: English
Orders (1)
F Lon-NTH
A Lpl-Yor
F Edi-NWG
Note several things: a] I use both
the game number and name in the subject of my orders; b] I use a parenthetical
number to show the version number of the orders I am submitting and can then
update it in the future; c] I use ALL CAPS for sea spaces (just helps
to identify them as such); d] I used one of several alternate abbreviations for
Liverpool (I have also seen Lvp). On abbreviations, I am pretty open to most of
the standard ones (i.e. Gulf of Lyon is GOL in some versions of software and
LYO in others) but make sure the target space is clear. If you aren't sure
if the abbreviation works, ASK (or spell out the place).
* For our deadlines we will use 6pm CST as our ongoing time for orders. CST
is GMT -6 for now (I think it changes when the US jumps to Daylight Savings Time
but we can address this if it becomes an issue). I will try to confirm receipt
of orders as they come in but can't always guarantee to do so. I am running
several games and playing several too. I did not expect to be filling in
full-time as a GM for this so I did not hold my GM/play schedule accordingly.
Because you can not be sure without my receipt, you should ALWAYS heed the next
note.
* An important
note: when submitting orders, make sure to include a cc: to 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 substitute GM (likely Mike) to run a turn.
Just a
reminder of the schedule as laid out in the kickoff email:
*
Spring deadlines are Mondays.
*
Spring retreats are Tuesdays.
*
Fall deadlines are Thursdays.
*
Fall retreats AND Winter builds/disbands are Fridays. Builds CAN be conditional
upon a retreat but they MUST be clear.
Don't
forget to check out the game's page on the DC web site at www.diplomaticcorp.com/?game_id=dc366 -
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. Additionally, my email is copied to blitz(at)diplomaticcorp.com. NOTE: this
is the message board for the tournament (all games and press get posted there)
so IF you copy it instead of the "orders" box it will be public. DON'T do
that!!! Probably hazardous to your tournament health.
Press is
allowed and encouraged. For those that are new, press 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 is
actually some good press in the DC274 game so you can read the different turns
on that game to see some examples.
OUR GAME
IS ON! The spring 1901 deadline is Monday, January 10 at 6pm
Central (US) / 24:00 GMT.
Please
everyone send me provisional orders ASAP. Because this is a tournament game,
turns are adjudicated without full order sets; however, if I don't get
provisionals by Thursday I will enter an alternate in the game - we will not
start without a full complement of players.
PERSONAL
NOTE: I abhor abandonments and Civil Disorders. Please don't have that mar our
game. I understand that life happens and that accidents happen. NMR's sometimes
happen (turns where a player has no moves requested); HOWEVER, we do not need
them to lead to abandonment. Game abandonment WILL put you on my bad list
forever (not a good thing given that I am a site moderator). If something comes
up please write me and we can discuss options. I understand that games are
sometimes not fun if things look bleak but our DCI tournament from last year
should be a lesson to us all - holding patiently onto a bad position sometimes
yields a win (Adam won the tournament game and had a 3 center Austria DEEP into
the game). Enough said.
So let's see who got what in the
random formula!

So...what now? Well, we begin. I
need ORDER CONFIRMATIONS by Thursday (Jan 6th); these will be preliminary only
but if I do not have preliminaries from everyone by then I will have to find an
alternate. Our first official Spring is next Monday. Good luck with your chats.
Welcome to the game and
WinterBlitz. I look forward to hosting you all. If you have questions,
feel free to ask me.
Your faithful GM,

Apologies for any inconvenience.

| DC 338 Spring 09 Results Correction - derekthefeared2 (Jan 07, 2011, 11:42 pm) |
An error I made was correctly pointed out. English Channel supported the convoy to Belgium so that move succeeds. Other results remain unchanged. New maps are attached. Orders are still due Jan 20th. Sorry.
Here are the Spring 09 Results. Some units shifting around this game. The french fleet finally makes land in the south. The English and austrian armies are organizing in russia while france and Italy are able to make some gain in NAO and Vie.
The army in Vie is disbanded with no legal retreats. The fleet in NAO must retreat. It can retreat to Nwg (shown) or also cly, lvp or OTB. England please let me know if you would like a retreat other than nwg.
The French also lose an army in Alb.
At a players request we will have a decent delay between turn and the next. The next deadline will be in 2 weeks on the 20th at 3:00 PM as usaul.

Soooo, a new deadline. I think I won't make it a full week and I'll make the Fall 1903 deadline next Wednesday, January 12, 17:00 MST. Hopefully that works with everyone.

| dc-358 game start! - coryfucius (Jan 07, 2011, 4:34 pm) |
As the game's GM, I should have mentioned that I also don't have Internet access most weekends, so don't be surprised if your weekend e-mails to me aren't answered until Monday morning (US Central time). Also, my apologies to those of you who have already sent prelims but haven't seen an acknowledgment from me. Our state legislature is having a very busy lame duck session, as it seeks a solution to that $13 billion problem I mentioned in my welcome message, so I have been tied up in work issues.

Hello all,
Everyone should be aware that I have no weekend net access. Once I sign off on Friday, I will see no mail or adjudications until sometime Monday morning EST. Nor will I be able to write during that interval.

PSP7? Wow that's so... new. I use PSP5. I have PSP6, but I'm just faster at doing things in the old standby.
I use Paint Shop Pro 7 (current is 11, but I didn't like versions after 7) for it's layering feature. Using layers allows you to edit the map much more easily later - and you will. I also still resort back to MS Paint because something are just easier there.

I'm also a PSP7 fan. Works for me. I designed all my variant maps with it.
Unfortunately PSP7 doesn't work on my new Windows7 computer, so right
now I'm firing up my old one for PSP graphics work. A real bugger.
I think PSP7 does a very good job at combining vectors, pixel-images and
layering. Ideal for my purposes. I've tried various other programs, but
haven't so far lucked out in finding something better. Kinda a bummer
since I need something Windows7-compatible. Any ideas?

| Haven map change - laxrulz777 (Jan 07, 2011, 10:41 am) |
What I see as the two changes needed (note, this is slightly from a Barbarian point of view but I think I'm being appropriately "neutral"
I would make two slight tweaks to the map
1) The Barbarians biggest problem is that they are essentially FORCED to telegraph their moves. Every move out of their starting centers is unambiguous and it greatly reduces their ability to engage in diplomacy. While this may be flavorful, it is greatly exaggerated and not really in keeping with the spirit of the game. To this end, I would "massage" Eridu somewhat (possibly removing it altogether). Pendarin woods or Andarien Plains should be made to touch Gwynir (possibly both?). That gives the Barbarians some room for options and negotiations.
2) I think natural relations between the Fairies and their neighbors are too friendly. The Fairies have a very, very good chance of getting three builds (it would really take a concerted Knight/Rogue effort to keep them even to 1 build... and that's only doable if the Rogue sacrifices any hope of two builds by being willing to bounce in Gurgi and Dimmsdale). I considered the possibility of making Grimheim touch Gurgi. But this seems too god. A better choice might just be to make Daisy Meadows an SC. Something to create some friction between the two would be nice. Currently, only Dimmsdale does this but it's removed from both Fairy and Rogue home SCs so it's of limited use in that regard. The other possibility is to stretch WMO to touch Dimmsdale and switch Julianthes and Dimmsdale making Dimmsdale an Eternal Build Center. This would draw both the Dwarves and the Nomads in (This has the added benefit of making churning Rock not adjacent to two eternal build centers. This might make the Fairies TOO weak, however.[Reply] |
