Hey Players,
Here's another 24 hours gone by and I still have just 6 sets of orders. Our English King is once again AWOL. That means he scores his second NMR of the game, and once again I'll go through the process of trying to track him down. He's a busy man, I know, but that's not your fault or mine, is it? I'll let you know if he turns up or if we need to acquire a replacement.
So, did he at least pay a terrible price for his inaction? Ha! I'm actually pretty sure it didn't make a damn bit of difference. I'm planning to submit a record of this turn to the World Diplomacy Hall of Fame for their consideration in the category "Most Boring Season". How boring is it? It's so boring, that's the best joke I could come up
with.
C'mon guys! Wake up! You do know what they say about crazy people and repetitive actions, right?
RETREAT REQUIRED: Italian F Mid-Atlantic Ocean can retreat to North Atlantic Ocean or Irish Sea or Gascony or Western Mediterranean or off-the-board. Please get that to me within 24 hours, Monsignor.
ADJUSTMENTS: None. Nada. Zilch. 34 dots on the board and they're all colored just the same as they were before this year started. Wait a minute! If Italy retreats his fleet off the board, he can rebuild a new unit back home in Rome or Naples. (I think the Austrians might be insulted, though. They're taking such good care of the place.)
NEXT DEADLINE: Retreat & possible adjustment tomorrow night for Italy. Next Wednesday for everybody else. 8:00 p.m. Eastern U.S. time, same as always.
Cheers,
Chris

Diplomats,
The Autumn and the Winter has passed and we're moving on to the Spring. The autumn sees the English Fleet retreat into Portugal (no big surprise there).
The Winter sees units pop up all over Europe. Looks like the confrontation is near. With one Neutral center remaining I'm looking forward to some blood-shedding this upcoming year, unless we all settle down and talk instead.
Next turn: Spring 1901 MovementNext Deadline: Tuesday, 31st of August 2010, 18:00 GMT (6PM).

Diplomats,
I wish that I could say that I have orders from all of you, but I don't (yet). This is a reminder that the orders are due in about 24 hours. And don't rely on these reminders from me to send in your orders. Send in preliminary orders to make sure that you will not receive an NMR.

I am hosting a game of Anarchy (http://www.dipwiki.com/index.php?title=Anarchy).
What's so great about Anarchy?
1 - You get to choose your own home centers... how much more balance could you ask for?
2 - If you're looking for something a little different than the standard AEFGIRT game of Dip, Anarchy should be great. The map is familiar, but the powers are different -- if you've ever played Renaissance or Crowded, you know what a blast a few reassigned centers can be.
3 - I invite you to name your country and pick a color, too!
I am thinking to run this game with 8 players (4 centers each). But if demand is high, I'll run a 9- or 10-player game (3 centers each). There will probably be chaos builds unless players decide against it.
If you have any questions, please email me. You can also signup at the DC site:

Diplomats,
I'm sorry about the delay in adjudicating this. When I got home last night I didn't have any access to the net. Something's obviously fixed itself overnight - everything's fine again.
First order of business - a rule change:After talking with Baron Powell, the variant designer, I've decided to go with the victory conditions as specified in the variant description. This means 18 centers to win. This also means that two of you can accomplish this in the same season. The 1900 wiki page states that this might result in a tiebreak, and that the game should go on until we have a winner. If there are any comments about this change in the rules, please take them up with me immediately. I'm pretty sure that the end-game victory condition hasn't affected the game all too much already, which is why I'm changing it.
Second order of business - a rules clarification:There have been a question about the variant that's been asked - specifically the Russian situation. We are playing with the latest variant version, as described on the 1900 wiki page. That version has a rule called the Russian Emergency Measures (REM). This allows Russia to have an extra unit on the board when one of his home centers is occupied by foreign forces, but not when all of them are occupied.
There was a previous version of the variant that had a different rule, called Steamroller. We are not playing with that rule. Any references to it you may find on the net are obsolete for this game.
Third order of business - the orders:Things are starting to heat up. The Russian unit in Rumania is crushed by a combined Austrian/Turkish force. The British unit in southern Spain is also pushed out of Spain by the French units. The British Fleet, however, has a few retreat options - one of which is an empty supply center.
We have a single retreat due:English F Spain(wc) can retreat to: Portugal, Gibraltar, or OTB (Off the Board).
I'll also need to take in the builds. They can be conditional depending on where the English Fleet retreats to.
Austria: Supp 5 Unit 3 Build 2Britain: Supp 5 Unit 4 Build 1 (or 2 if the retreat is OTB or into Portugal)France: Supp 6 Unit 4 Build 2Germany: Supp 7 Unit 4 Build 3
Italy: Supp 5 Unit 3 Build 2Russia: Supp 5 Unit 3 Build 2Turkey: Supp 4 Unit 3 Build 1
Next turn: Autumn 1900 Retreats & Winter 1900 AdjustmentsNext Deadline: Thursday, 26th of August 2010, 18:00 GMT (6PM).

Hello all!
I'm Fredrik, born in Scandia, but recently elevated to King of Schytia. Thinking of strategies for this game I'm beginning to think that a turtle might have the right approach...
I don't think that I have played with any of you earlier. Perhaps in dc303 - there were too many people in that game to keep track of us all.
Good luck to you all. Look forward to my messengers arriving with further missives.

Welcome friends (new and old) to this perfidious time.
I am Mike.
Lord of your world.
You shall henceforth refer to me as your provider of light -
Your reason for being - Your adjudicator of orders. for it is me.
whom we shall all just call. "Him". that will guide you
thru these ages.
Well some of you at least.
I expect many will be killed off and offered as a sacrifice
along the way. and to those poor souls. may you rest happily and with
full knowledge that your victors will feel no remorse. for the times are
dark, the seas a mystery, the deserts a grave, and the barbarian lands an
unexplored wilderness of horror.
**************
Powers
Yes, the Great empire of Alexander has collapsed and many
factions scramble for power. Among them.
The powerful Republic of Rome - led by none other than
our sharpshooter Sir Michael Norton of Loxley.
Across the Adriatic, we find Matt - leading the
Hellenistic Empire of Macedonia - one of the most influencial states in
the near east. [.into a better time with Greece than his last game]
Southward forms the shores of Africa, from which we have the
Carthaginians - and Hannibal Lynn - Can he turn the tides of the
Punic Wars?
Further to the east we have Egypt - run by the great
and powerful Ptolemy himself. Little known fact they just call him "Justin"
today.
To the far reaches of the eastern world, we find the
mysterious Chris - ruler of Persia, Babylonia, and the near east.
And. the Hordes.
Raiding from Asia and the far east we have the nomadic tribes
of Sarmatia and Scythia, led by the almighty Fredrik of Sweden. (how'd
he get this job?)
In the virgin forests to the north we have the savage tribes
of Germania, led by Ross Yaggermeister.
And from the far northwest we have the Celtic tribes of
Gaul, led by Bruce!

*****************
This will no doubt be a great game. I'm excited!
Last time I ran this variant was dc109, started back in June of 2007. That was
only the 9th game I ever ran. Now of course we're on dc339, or 230 games
later and my 27th game as GM. (although completely unrelated, 230 is a great
number! In which I played both Bruce and Justin, also in this game -
amazing how small a world it is).
*****************
House Rules
Most of you know me. But a couple of you have not played in
my games before. You might want to take a gander at my house rules, which can
be found at www.sims-family.net/dip/houserules.htm.
Main thing to take away from them is this. I tend to like the anxiousness
that builds up toward a deadline, and so I will rarely, if ever, grant an
extension for a turn currently in play. I think that takes away from the building
excitement, the writing ppl minutes from the deadline, the frantic last minute
changes of orders. So beware, and pls don't get pissed if you write m a
day before the deadline to request more time, only to find I am a bastard and
turn you to the curb scoffing mightily "MWUHAHAHAHA little peons OF
COURSE you get no more time!!!!". er. politely declining your
request. You get the idea.  In return I'll do my best to adjudicate
in a timely fashion, usually w/in a few hours of the deadline.
*****************
The Offerings
Between spring and fall turns all players should submit an "offering"
to the gods! Failrure to accomplish this may result in a player's random
units having it's order ignored the following year!
The offering may be in the form of a prayer to the gods, a
motivational speech to your troops, dialog among your generals, a narrative,
etc. One-liners are likely to be deemed offensive and worthy of sever repercussions!
*****************
Enjoy!
We'll probly be here a while. So whatever happens,
keep in mind it's all for fun, don't take it too seriously, have
fun w press, etc.
Sincerely,
"Him"
PS. for those who made it clear to the end of this
email, be sure to request your bonus unit in Ireland!
Oh what - you need a starting map? Ok fine.

| dc339 - A few provisos, a couple of quid pro quos - FuzzyLogic (Aug 25, 2010, 9:24 pm) |
Hey folks,
Just to clear up a couple of
rules:
* Bithynia (Turkey) is not a
supply center. If you downloaded the RP file prior to when I fixed it
yesterday, it will have this *incorrectly* designated as a supply
center.
* 40 SC total. 21 to win.
* Where you see the little white
connecting marks, these are land bridges. Like Byzantium to Bit or Lyd,
an army or fleet can move directly between these provinces from another.
* Moving from the Aegean (Aegeum
Mare) to the Black Sea (Pontus Euxinus) is directly possible!! Travel via
the Sea of Marmara is assumed, and any units in Byz, Bit, or Lyd have no effect
on AEG being directly connected to PEU.
* Army movements from Cartenna
to Sag (Spain) directly are possible. Even across the Straits of
Gibraltar, which seems to otherwise obstruct such movement.
* Denmark (Treva) is connected
directly to Scandia for army or fleet movement. Treva effectively has a
canal, and borders both the Oceanus Germanicus and Mare Suevicum with no
coasts.
* Similarly, ATHENS HAS NO
COASTS. Even tho it appears to separate the Aegaeum from the Ionian, a
fleet can enter from one side and exit to the other side freely.
* Delphi directly connects to
Sparta, even tho Athens connects to Ionian.
* Ireland is impassible.
Any bonus units in Ireland may cheer for their respective countries.
Cheering for a country is intended solely to boost morale, and does not have an
impact on orders, unless such boost to morale leads to moves that do directly
have a positive effect on said country.
Enjoy,
-Him

Hello all!
I'm Fredrik, born in Scandia, but recently elevated to King of Schytia. Thinking of strategies for this game I'm beginning to think that a turtle might have the right approach...
I don't think that I have played with any of you earlier. Perhaps in dc303 - there were too many people in that game to keep track of us all.
Good luck to you all. Look forward to my messengers arriving with further missives.
/Fredrik of Scythia

Welcome friends (new and old) to this perfidious time.
I am Mike.
Lord of your world.
You shall henceforth refer to me as your provider of light -
Your reason for being - Your adjudicator of orders. for it is me.
whom we shall all just call. "Him". that will guide you
thru these ages.
Well some of you at least.
I expect many will be killed off and offered as a sacrifice
along the way. and to those poor souls. may you rest happily and with
full knowledge that your victors will feel no remorse. for the times are
dark, the seas a mystery, the deserts a grave, and the barbarian lands an
unexplored wilderness of horror.
**************
Powers
Yes, the Great empire of Alexander has collapsed and many
factions scramble for power. Among them.
The powerful Republic of Rome - led by none other than
our sharpshooter Sir Michael Norton of Loxley.
Across the Adriatic, we find Matt - leading the
Hellenistic Empire of Macedonia - one of the most influencial states in
the near east. [.into a better time with Greece than his last game]
Southward forms the shores of Africa, from which we have the
Carthaginians - and Hannibal Lynn - Can he turn the tides of the
Punic Wars?
Further to the east we have Egypt - run by the great
and powerful Ptolemy himself. Little known fact they just call him "Justin"
today.
To the far reaches of the eastern world, we find the
mysterious Chris - ruler of Persia, Babylonia, and the near east.
And. the Hordes.
Raiding from Asia and the far east we have the nomadic tribes
of Sarmatia and Scythia, led by the almighty Fredrik of Sweden. (how'd
he get this job?)
In the virgin forests to the north we have the savage tribes
of Germania, led by Ross Yaggermeister.
And from the far northwest we have the Celtic tribes of
Gaul, led by Bruce!

Last time I ran this variant was dc109, started back in June of 2007. That was

| 1648 - txurce (Aug 25, 2010, 4:44 pm) |
Polish-Lithuanian EOG:
I chose Poland because I like the challenge of a central power, and liked its potential flexibility. Perhaps the biggest flaw with 1648 is that it strongly steers Austria west, thereby dividing the map in half as in standard Dip. Given that Poland has threats to the north, east and to some degree the south, it makes sense for them to establish neutrality at least. I did this with the first Emperor, then set about creating an alliance that would thin out the east. The Czar barely involved himself in the first winter negotiations, and so found himself the victim of a P/T/W blitz, and was basically out in two years. This victory quickly gave me a near-corner position.
In the meantime, the course of the game was already being set by Spain. The most powerful country at the start immediately allied with France - the strategist I feared most - then tried to draft Denmark vs England for a potentially unstoppable western wall. This led me to forge a strong, mutually supportive alliance with Turkey, since a strong Ottoman entity was essential to controlling Franco-Spanish growth.
As the game progressed in the early years, Sweden stabbed Denmark, allowing England to quickly become a viable, seemingly neutral corner force. My goal was to control the NE quadrant before pushing west. As soon as Russia was gone I attacked Sweden with some Turkish help, and immediately started pushing him back.
In the meantime it became evident that the Austrian Emperor was playing gunboat style. Due to personal issues he engaged in no negotiations from his central position, and played that pretty poorly. As a result France was making impressive gains in the center of the map. Sweden's argument that I was better off attacking Austria instead of him, the better to stop F/S, haunted me a little. Austria was so uncommunicative that even offering him blanket support drew no response.
At this point the game's opening fluidity turned to quickly hardening cement in the course of two years: 1652 and 1653. In my opinion, there were four major factors, one following another in quick succession.
The first turning point came about due to Spain's conservative play. Despite having an early edge on Turkey and only one place to go given his alliance - east across the Med - he failed to seize the initiative and take uncontested control of what was then his front yard, the Ionian Sea. The Sultan, on the other hand, impressed me by meeting the challenge head-on, taking the Ionian in 1651 and the Adriatic in 1653 in a series of tactical victories. From then on Spain was on the defensive with nowhere to go militarily. In fact, had there been more room around the Ionian to maneuver, Turkey would have eventually broken through.
The second turning point was the abdication of the Austrian emperor as 1652 began, once it was pointed out to him that it wouldn't cause any systemic problems. The new emperor found himself land-locked and locked-in with five armies. After a couple of years trying to establish his own way, he realized that his only hope to survive was as the central wall of an alliance with P/T. It was a position that offered little else, but the emperor played it for what it was worth. All of a sudden the French momentum slowed as well, and a hard line began to form from Brandenburg down to the Ionian.
The only fluidity in the game existed in the north, where I was making headway on Sweden and - much more importantly - England had seemingly yet to commit to any side while gobbling Denmark. I engaged in extensive diplomacy with Cromwell, trying to recruit him to the eastern cause. My basic argument was that he was in excellent position to have his uncontested fleets sweep down on France, whereas he couldn't hope to break through against me. That he was as secure as anyone in his corner seemed to go without saying. Our talks continued as he surprised me by attacking Sweden after Denmark, thereby encroaching on an areas I had assumed would soon be mine. It didn't affect my desire to ally. until he then attacked me in Russia in 1653.
England told me he had chosen the west because his goal was to survive in a large draw, and he feared a Polish solo. To have made such a conservative decision so early in the game was disappointing. I immediately countered by offering the dying Sweden survival as a minor power, ceding his doomed eastern position in exchange for the hope of expanding in a joint thrust west through Scandinavia against England. I was confident this diplomatic sally would work, but then the Swedish king suffered a serious injury, and had to abdicate. I made his heir the same offer, but he didn't see the same inevitable fate that I did if he chose the west. Choose the west he did, and these two factors - Sweden and England allying with F/S vs APT - finished the erection of the wall dividing Europe.
The conflict then entered its second phase, in which what little action there was consisted of England steadily shifting all his weight east in an effort to take Novgorod, while Sweden was predictably reduced year by year. The English strategy didn't make sense to me, as his eastern thrust couldn't pay off in any meaningful way, while every season left him increasingly vulnerable to a French stab from a player known for rarely settling for a draw. Even after England took Novgorod thanks to a debatable ruling, there was still no break in the P/T Russian line.
As soon as the new Swedish ruler chose the west, my diplomacy with France kicked into high gear. As I had fully expected, the French king told me that there was no way he would settle for a DIAS. Our plan was to have him strike E/S, after which I would roll up Scandinavia and Turkey would sweep west in the Med, pushing back Spain. France waited longer than I would have to stab his allies. I found myself both impatient and increasingly impressed by the benefits of France's patience. With every passing season, England improbably became more exposed. By the time France launched a well-timed strike in the fall of 1656, he had an outside shot at a solo.
France came close to succeeding, but he didn't quite make it. The game then entered its third and final phase. Sweden died. England fell back quickly across Scandinavia. And Spain made a deal with Turkey where he would be left alone enough to inflict damage on France. The result of all this was that by 1660, France's explosive growth had now led to some shrinkage, Turkey had Spain at his mercy, and I was on the verge of moving into the Atlantic. I had long been committed to not stabbing Turkey by the time I had my inevitable window at a solo, because we had bailed each other out of enough jams to make this unpalatable to me. After the decisive French initiative to break the stalemate, I was equally committed to an FPT draw.
The situation then came to a head when the Spanish king declared that he would accept neither a PT nor FPT draw, and proceeded to start giving away enough of his centers to hand Turkey a solo. No one with the upper hand ever likes these sorts of attempts by a doomed player to assert himself on an entire game, but they are usually depressingly effective. Turkey told me he couldn't refuse such a huge gift horse. I gave him my blessing, partly because he had been an excellent ally. and partly because I had already made contingency plans.
Rather than let Spain dictate an undesirable end to the game, I had maneuvered into a position where, from a distant 14, French cooperation would allow me to top Turkey's potential 19 with 20 in one turn. However, our ultimate goal wasn't a Polish solo, but a three-way draw. This required a last-minute diplomatic effort with Turkey, where France and I laid out how he should strive to reach 19 rather than 18, and how I would hold at 19, after which we would be tied and in position to dictate the outcome, however long it took.
Sustaining that would have been tricky, of course, but all the more fun for that. The basic plan was to keep Turkey and Poland even while France steadily reduced Spain, until he either capitulated or was eliminated. We coordinated everything, and the fall 1661 season came off with some surprises, but all the key parts falling into place. One season later, the game ended with the three consistently successful powers on top.
This is my second game of 1648. As I mentioned earlier, I think that the map steers Austria too hard to the west, and the Ionian bottleneck needs to be broken up. In addition, Russia and Poland have a hard time not fighting early in the game. In all this, 1648 is not as fluid as A&E. But overall Charles has created an excellent variant that sustains repeated visits - the highest compliment one can give a designer.

2010/8/24 Mike Hoffman <mrh(at)panix.com>
Wonderful write-up Harvey! I really enjoyed reading it.
I guess I'll follow up with my EOG, especially since there isn't much to say.
EOG -- Austria
The call came through the fog, with Trumpets blaring: "The Light Brigade is called to action". I grabbed my sword, hopped on my trusty steed, and rode off to join in the fray.
Immediately, I was set upon by nearly all of the existing opponents. Poland and Turkey, France and Spain, and a "Hi Hello" from England. It was clear that 2 alliances had formed, and I was caught dead-center between them. Instead of immediately picking sides, I waited to let one side prove untrustworthy and make
my decision for me. Nigs grabbed that banner and ran with it. So Jorge and I began discussions.
I have to admit that as a Light Brigade replacement, this game was not the top of my priorities. And with Charles' very restrictive rules, I became more and more uncomfortable playing the game. But a LB Knight does not shirk his responsibilities and I vowed to play out the position. However, internally, I decided to let Jorge play "puppet master" -- a position I rarely take.
The game progressed with me battling France for the interior, and me losing ground slowly but surely. I figured it was only a matter of time before I was exiled from the board, and I offered my centers to Jorge and Adrian -- both declined and vowed to fight to keep me around. This was a bit of a turning point -- a refocusing of attentions. The board shifted, Spain began losing ground, and France lost some influence in the center.
Then Adrian went silent.
It became clear (well, Jorge pointed it out) that Spain was tossing the game to Turkey, leaving centers unprotected and allowing Adrian to scoop them up. Jorge refocused his units to grab some of Turkey's centers to balance Turkey's gains and prevent the Solo. I switched my attack to the Alps area, hitting France and Spain depending on who was nearby.
To Adrian's credit, he never really came after me for easy centers. He hit me once, but mostly blocked my ability to drive through to the Balkans.
Jorge kept his promise and kept my units alive as a buffer between Turkey and France. And Nigs stopped attacking me, in order to focus on stopping Spain from giving everything away, or at least remove Spain and form our own stalemate line against Adrian.
Somewhere in this mix was a fiasco of grand extremes, dealing with missed deadlines and abandonments. My record with DipCorp and Light Brigade is forever tarnished with an Abandonment (my first EVER in over 20 years of Dip). Ah well, enough has been said on the subject, so that's all I'll say now.
Thanks to all of you for a fun game! I have faced each of you in other games (this was a first for Harvey, but we met again in the Haven) and always enjoy our games together. Such a high caliber group of players!

END OF GAME STATEMENT - ENGLAND
Harvey - "It feels really great to
have won this game!"
Observer - "Hey, wait a minute. You
didn't win this game. In fact you were eliminated before the game
ended."
H - "Yes, I was eliminated but I
still won.
O - "What the heck are you saying?
--------- won the game.
H - "Oh, I see. They got their
scores improved. But, what does that have to do with winning?"
O - "It's pretty straightforward.
Haven't you even read the Diplomacy rules?"
H - "I understand your confusion.
You assume that all people play the game to beat the other players,
and that determines who wins and who loses. And you're right -
according to view, I didn't win. But that's not the metric I use."
O - "The metric you use? Oh come on!
Is this going to be a 'sour grapes' story?"
H - "I'll let you judge the 'grapes'
part of it. From my perspective, however, the scores on a web site
aren't very important to me. Far more important are the interactions
that I have with the other players. That's what determines whether
or not I've won a particular game. And, in this game I was a real
winner."
O - "By interactions do you mean you
look at your success in stabbing, misleading and outsmarting the
others?"
H - "Nope, not even close. Don't get
me wrong; I'm no saint, and I've done my share of devious stuff.
And, like everyone else I have no objection to eliminating others and
coming out ahead. But that's not winning for me. Instead I measure
my success or failure by the pleasure I gained from getting to know
my fellow players. And in this game I did pretty well. I got to
have a bunch of "off-line" email conversations with Dirk, along
with a couple of extended 'non-game" phone calls in an effort to
help him make some business connections. I got to have two meals
with Jorge in southern California, while there. I even got to
exchange thoughts about U.S. Immigrations issues and the new Arizona
law with Charles. Who would have thought that a German guy would
have such a keen understanding of U.S. politics and social policies?
On top of that, I got a bunch of supportive emails from all the
players when I went through my medical challenges. All that was far
more important to me than counting how many centers I had at any
given moment in the game."
O - "Fair enough, but what about the
game itself? Surely you gave it some thought as it progressed?"
H - "Jeez, do you really expect me to
remember that stuff? Well, I'll give it a try. Being England, and
starting with just two centers ..."
O - "How did you end up playing
England?"
H - "Oh, when the game started, I
told Charles that I didn't really care which power I got. When I got
England I realized that I needed to do some fancy footwork if I was
going to avoid being eliminated right away. (See, I do care about
the 'game proper' at some level.) My thought was to do what I could
to get Denmark and Sweden to attack each other, in order to give me
some breathing space. Even though I failed (they seemed determined
to be allies) I was able to pick up Ire and Sco. In large part that
was because I trusted France when he offered to make ENG a DMZ. In
many ways that set the stage for the rest of the game. I proclaimed
to the world that England was neutral, while all the while doing what
I could to aide the covert(?) FSE alliance. As things progressed,
France and Spain were very active in trying to coordinate their
forces in the battle for central and southern Europe. I did my best
to stay out of trouble, and continue the charade of my neutrality."
O - "Do you really think you were
able to fool people on that one?"
H - "For a while I think it worked.
Eventually it must have become clear to Jorge that my 'northern
advancement' was aimed at flanking PTA. In any case I'm sure that he
became increasingly frustrated with me as the game advanced. He kept
urging me to attack France, warning that if I did not France would
eventually attack me. Although I wasn't certain that I would
eventually face a French stab, it did seem likely. However, I chose
to not stab France. I thought that to do so would only benefit
Poland, and that I would be caught in a vise, attacked by both France
and Poland. I wasn't sure whether Nigs would honor our alliance, but
I felt that however slight the possibility, it was a better outcome
than the otherwise certainty of being sandwiched between Poland and
France."
O - "And once the stab did come, did
you have regrets about not stabbing first?"
H - "Not for a moment. My only
regret was that I was going to have to eventually deal with Jorge's
'told you so' comments. By the way, to his real credit he said not a
word about it at our dinner in Los Angeles. As a side note, the
highlight of the meal came almost at the end when a brief discussion
of Diplomacy did come up. Catie, Jorge's most impressive girlfriend,
suddenly realized the Diplomacy connection and said, 'Oh, you're that
Harvey!'. I'm still not sure whether I should have been ashamed or
proud to have been identified."
O - "You can't really tell me that
you have no negative feelings about Nigs' stab?"
H - "I really don't. First, I was
expecting it and was surprised that it didn't come a bit sooner.
More importantly, however, was the offer that Nigs had made before I
went into the hospital for my cardiac procedure. There was a vote
for a DIAS on the table, and both Nigs and Dirk offered to vote for
it in order to end the game and 'spare me' from having to think about
the situation while dealing with medical issues. I thanked them, but
asked them to not vote for the DIAS, and I voted against it."
O - "So, no regrets at all?"
H - "A few. First, that I didn't
really establish relationships with the other players. More
importantly, there were several points in the last three or four
months when I found myself (very uncharacteristically) depressed due
to my medical situation. The impact was that I lost virtually all
interest in the game, and lacked the energy to even force myself to
be an active participant in the game. That was unfair to the rest of
the players. I'm most grateful, however, for the support that got
from everyone, Charles included."
O - "And now?"
H - "If truth be told, I'm going to
'hang up my rock and roll shoes' for a while and take a hiatus from
playing Diplomacy. I don't know if it will be weeks or months. It's
happened before - after a year or two playing multiple games
simultaneously I get burned out. But sooner or later the itch comes
back. I'm sure it will again. In the meantime, many thanks to all -
for the challenge, for the support, for the encouragement and for the
friendship!"[Reply] |

Not sure if you know or not but for a MAC you actually have to go and change the extension of the file when you download a .dpy file from the DC site. The Mac tries to do the "right-click" download as a .dpy.txt file and thus opens it with a document type of program. Rename the file without the .txt and you can open it in RP.
Hope that helps. |
| dc339 Confirmations! - FuzzyLogic (Aug 25, 2010, 2:54 pm) |
Hey folks, and welcome to this 339th game of Diplomaticcorp Diplomacy!
First things first, this game filled up so fast that we got ourselves 9 eager stabbers for an 8-player game. So if anyone was borderline join / no-join, let me know and you can opt out! Otherwise I'm happy to have you all, but one of you gets to be the cheerleader while the rest control forces.
So...
Get back to me w a lil 'ole confirmation that you're good to go in this one. Powers will be random. I ran this variant once before, and nobody from that game is in this game, so everyone is new to the variant - tho everyone is also some of the most cutthroat players I know! All veterans in here, I'm expecting no delays, no replacements. Just lots of blood...
Enjoy!

| [DC328] Autumn 1904 Abjudication - dreamsynergy (Aug 25, 2010, 11:24 am) |
After seeking the advice of fellow GMs, and much considering, I have decided that there will be no replacement for Turkey. Turkey's units will henceforth be placed in Civil Disorder.
This is taken directly from the Diplomaticcorp Default House Rules.
If a player NMRs for 2 consecutive seasons (Spring or

| DC309 Spring/Summer 1907 correction - mtombu (Aug 25, 2010, 8:57 am) |
Hey all,
It looks as though I made an error in the Spring adjudication. Austria ordered ser-bul, yet there is no unit in ser - it's in gre. I adjudicated ser-bul and moved gre to bul. I'll send out a corrected Spring/Summer adjudication (basically the only effect is that the unit that ended the day in bul should be in gre). Fall orders are due tomorrow (Thursday at 9 pm). Phil, this likely affects you the most, so check your orders and correct as necessary.
Thanks to John!
Best,
Mike

Hey Guys,
I'm at work so can't send the .dpy file or the usual map. Instead I took a picture of it and will send it in a sec.
Both proposals fail to pass. Only one retreat. Blue, please get it to me by tonight at 9. Shouldn't be too complicated as there are only two choices. Check for errors. I'll send a proper map and .dpy file with Summer.

There has been a few mentions of allowing England to build, but since I clearly stated to you all how I was going to process a replacement and you all moved accordingly, I can't do this unless I get agreement from all remaining players. So I need a vote from you all, and it must be unanimous to pass. It is anonymous, so send your votes to me.
Sorry Salim, that's the best I can do.
I'll state a couple of deadlines. The all important votes for the question of allowing England to build for Winter 1902 is due this Friday, August 27, by 17:00 MDT. That's 11 pm GMT. I'll make spring 1903 due again on the following Friday, Sept. 3, same times.
Sorry for the delay everyone. I had a wedding to attend the past few days.
Get me those votes!
Warren

As the calendar rolls over to MCMXL, Europe remains a bloody mess that the eternal spirits of warmongers like Augustus Caesar and Genghis Khan must welcome with profound enthusiasm. Beyond just this carnage, humanity rolls along:
In Tibet, Tenzin Gyatso is proclaimed the tulku of the thirteenth Dalai Lama.
On February 27 Martin Kamen and Sam Ruben discover carbon-14.
As the last vestiges of Stalin's Scandinavian adventure are expunged, a time bomb destroys the offices of Norrskenflammer, a Swedish communist newspaper, on March 3.
A new restaurant called McDonalds opens in San Bernardino, California on May 15. The locals are going there in droves.
The Chinese NRA is soundly defeated in a counter-offensive against the Japanese IJA. Experts claim this is the last gasp for a potential Chinese offensive. While Japanese control of large areas of China remains the status quo the occupiers are struggling to adequately garrison their expansive holdings; further expansion bogs down.
While there were multiple disbands there are only two retreats: the German army in Munich can retreat to Hamburg, Rheinland or Disband; the Polish army in the Eastern Ukraine may retreat to Western Ukraine or Disband. This is due by Thursday at our usual time; Fall 1940 provisionals are due on Friday!

And now, for a GM's best friend, player press!
Italian Press:
It has been announced that President Mussolini is paying a state visit to Munich. El Duce will be speaking to the people of Bavaria, the beating heart of German fascism, and offering to make them part of the thus-far successful European fascist experiment. While he understands that nationalistic sentiment has previously been the key to fascism, a pan-European fascist state has long been a dream of his.
Mussolini said, 'We believe that it was a mistake for the German people to have deposed the National Socialists. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and we were flattered when the Germans copied we Italians in placing thugs and murderers in high office. Them heading down the path of democracy provides a bad example to fledgling dictatorships all over the world. Oppression and bigotry and acts of aggression against peaceful nations are fragile flowers that need constant tending against the diseases of freedom, amity and equality. Hopefully, Germans will come to understand their error. If they don't, we'll shoot them.'
***
Press from the USSR:
Beirut, New Khanate of Libanon, January 23rd
Reports from the Levante confirm the rumors spreading in the east - the Soviet Leadership has evacuated the burning steppes of their homeland. Several limousines with turkish military escort have been seen waiting in the military part of the harbour close to a turkish Navy Ship destined to leave for Crete the same afternoon. While the Generals and their Staff have chosen to dig into Stalingrad and repel the Polish forces slowly surrounding the city, the exact whereabouts of the Soviet leadership still remains unknown. They have most likely chosen exile to remain in position for rebuilding their homeland once the tides of war turn. As the German industry ceases pumping millions of Reichsmark into bolstering the Polish Army, this day might come sooner than hoped for...
***
Press from the Republic of Spain:
The Socialist Republic of Spain announces the end of the civil war! Celebrations throughout the country remained peacefully, only dampened by the sad news coming from the cradle of socialism in the east. While the rest of europe is torn into pieces, Spain maneged to reunite the people not only in the streets. The world Public is truly surprised to be confronted with the first official note from Spain coming from the newly appointed minister of lesser peaceful affairs, Francisco Paulino Hermenegildo Teódulo Franco y Bahamonde Salgado Pardo:
"People of the world! Spain is united again and it's glorious people are one in their heart, their mind, and the true moral values they follow. It is my pleasure to announce, that - following the new common ideal of all Spain - we wish to guarantee every citizen of the Iberian peninsula, the Spanish islands and all lands where the Spanish soul still burns in the heart of the people Justice and Equality while preserving the values of the past, that allowed Spain to be a great nation. Thus we call on you, people of Great Spain, to unite as one force, repel every one inducing hardship and foreign ideas on you and lead Spain to a future as glorious as the past!"
With the Spanish fleet approaching the waters of Gibraltar and the former Spanish Republican Army now bolstered by the ranks of the former nationalists, the peace in Spain might be of limited duration.
