Hey folks. In playing around with Realworld/Realpolitik I found a
couple of errors in the connections between spaces in the north-east
corner of the map.
I corrected them in the .map file and that corrected file and a map that

Haha…..Michael, note that I also lumped
France and Norway together at 12:1, stating that both countries offer a great
location if they can get rolling (check) and that Jorge and Joe will need to be
very active on the diplomatic front early (check).
Course, some of my predictions went
horribly wrong too, so I guess a career as an odds-maker is not in my future.
Cheers!

Subject: DCI 9: Las Vegas Odds to Win
AP Las Vegas:
Just posted are the odds to win the famous DCI 9 Diplomacy
Invitational, a gathering of world-renowned gamers on one of the games biggest
stages. The competition will be held over the next several months and will be
watched by at least dozens of rabid (and probably slightly bored) net
followers.
Austria: 3:1 -
Until dethroned, Dan is the champ. To be the champ, you've got to beat the
champ. Dan's odds would probably even be better if he had not drawn the
typically difficult starting position of Austria. Even with that though,
Dan's abilities (see Tiger Woods) are so dominating that odds makers still see
him as the prohibitive favorite.
Russia: 7:2 -
Nobody in the game has been hotter than Nefarious Nigel (see Brazil futbol), and he's drawn Russia as a
base. Game experts are all wishing they could be flies on the wall when Dan and
Nigel eventually start butting heads.
England: 9:2 - Far
away from the favorites, 2009 WB Champion Garry is probably giggling about his
projected path to victory (see Dr. Evil). "Get middle countries to fight,
check. Get France and Spain on
different sides of the fence, check. Hope everybody ignores my slow and steady
growth, mate."
Balkans and Germany:
6:1 - Hey! They're moderator picks (see Ryder Cup Golf). They're here for a reason.
Give Drew or Max a little breathing room, and you'll wish you were in England or Spain, where you can scream from a
distance for those closer to fall on their swords for your behalf.
Spain and Turkey: 9:1 - Matt and Adam
have top notch resumes, and they are both starting in the potentially
awesome starting corner positions of Spain
and Turkey.
If either get an alliance from the outset with a neighbor and get rolling, look
out (see the University of Florida and Oklahoma
football teams). If they get stonewalled by their neighbors, it could be a long
game at three centers.
Lowlands: 10:1 - So
Frank plays one game in the past two years and wins. Is this an aberration, or
is this guy so good that he can dust off his diplomacy hat and produce an epic
win over an elite field (see Bobby Fischer). Time will tell, but from his past
exploits, it certainly won't be boring.
France and Norway: 12:1 - France
is typically a great starting position in standard diplomacy, but when you
throw a player to your south, the position becomes much more difficult (see Belgium in
conflicts of the 1900s). And Norway,
sandwiched between Russia
and England, can be a
nightmare if the player doesn't get off to a good start (see Belgium in
conflicts of the 1900s). Both countries offer a great location if they can get
rolling, but both face potentially daunting opposition at the outset. Jorge and
Joe will need to be very active on the diplomatic front early.
Italy: 15:1 -
Mikael is an incredible player, but this is Italy
we're talking about (see Italy
in 99.9% of diplomacy games). Under the best of conditions, Italy sometimes has a hard time grabbing more
than Tunis,
and in this variant, there's already a Spanish fleet there. Mikael will need to
work his miracles (see anything done by Michelangelo) to see Italy grow into
a monster.
Hope you all enjoyed this. Please let it be known that this
is all off the cuff, and all slights/exaggerations were not (wholly)
intentional. haha
I better get back to work now. : )

As I've already received orders from two of the four remaining active powers, I thought I'd suggest that if I receive four sets of orders confirmed as final before the suggested deadline, I'll adjudicate. The two players I've received orders from (naming no names, Simon and Sean!!) would need to confirm that their orders are final...

Spring 1907...and Italy looks to be
on the way out, as he loses two centres to advancing Turkish
forces, whilst Tunis will surely fall in the Fall.
Elsewhere, Russian attempts to tactically withdraw from
Denmark are thwarted by a french advance east. Europe
looks to be descending into a three way battle...
Russia only had one retreat of his Danish army - to Sweden,
which I've made. Sean, if you want ot disband that
army, let me know asap. Fall deadline is Wednesday

Hallo zusammen,
since I've received a full set of orders and nobody asked for the
adjucation being delayed until after the deadline, I'm getting this
season's adjucation out of the door somewhat sooner.
And it so happens that we've now made it through a whole decade since
Europe's dignitaries assembled in Westphalia in an effort to craft a lasting
peace. Well, those hopes were quickly dashed. The geopolitical lay of the land
has changed almost beyond recognition since then. For starters, only six powers
survived the rigours of this new age. An accomplishment in itself, no
doubt.
The Spring 1659 Moves prelims are due Monday, 24 May, 6 PM

Subject: Re: Adam: 2009 DCI Champion!
Thank you for the many congratulations I have received. I cannot help feeling bashful and toeing the dirt sheepishly, because as I quoted to Joe about two weeks ago: "Deserves got nothin' to do with it." (Unforgiven, 1992). I know we can debate just what "deserve" means, but I cannot escape the feeling that I have received this crown (a very comfy, stylish piece of headgear it is, too) because better (more deserving) players let it fall to my head. Having said that... Now that the crown is mine, I intend fully to embrace it as my own. I will fulfill all ceremonial functions. And I will not do anything that would tarnish or dishonour the crown (things such as: NMR'ing, abandoning, having nude pictures surface on the web...).
I will follow up with a proper EoG statement. Hopefully tomorrow. This was such a very excellent game that I hope to read several EoGs. [It was probably the best game of Dip
I've had the honor to play in].
Mike Sims was superb as a GM. No higher things can be said of a GM than that adjudications were always on time and that his decisions were predictably fair in a consistent manner. Mike's humorous notes (especially the cautionary bedtime story about the player who did not submit orders on time...) added enjoyment.
This month, I was able to watch the Royal Shakespeare production of "Hamlet", starring David Tennant and Patrick Stewart, and it set my mind to wandering... I was half-able to cast the play from DCI 274. Jorge in the title role. Joe as fiery Laertes. Dan as both Claudius and as the deposed senior Hamlet. Then, after the three principles have killed one another, Fortinbras (Turkey) walks in and claims the throne. Polonius - Drew? Ophelia - Max? Gertrude - Nigel? Oh, well...
Again, I'll submit a proper EoG
soon!

| Adam: 2009 DCI Champion! - AceRimmer (May 20, 2010, 9:30 pm) |
Thank you for the many congratulations I have received. I cannot help feeling bashful and toeing the dirt sheepishly, because as I quoted to Joe about two weeks ago: "Deserves got nothin' to do with it." (Unforgiven, 1992). I know we can debate just what "deserve" means, but I cannot escape the feeling that I have received this crown (a very comfy, stylish piece of headgear it is, too) because better (more deserving) players let it fall to my head. Having said that... Now that the crown is mine, I intend fully to embrace it as my own. I will fulfill all ceremonial functions. And I will not do anything that would tarnish or dishonour the crown (things such as: NMR'ing, abandoning, having nude pictures surface on the web...).
I will follow up with a proper EoG statement. Hopefully tomorrow. This was such a very excellent game that I hope to read several EoGs. [It was probably the best game of Dip I've had the honor to play in].
Mike Sims was superb as a GM. No higher things can be said of a GM than that adjudications were always on time and that his decisions were predictably fair in a consistent manner. Mike's humorous notes (especially the cautionary bedtime story about the player who did not submit orders on time...) added enjoyment.
This month, I was able to watch the Royal Shakespeare production of "Hamlet", starring David Tennant and Patrick Stewart, and it set my mind to wandering... I was half-able to cast the play from DCI 274. Jorge in the title role. Joe as fiery Laertes. Dan as both Claudius and as the deposed senior Hamlet. Then, after the three principles have killed one another, Fortinbras (Turkey) walks in and claims the throne. Polonius - Drew? Ophelia - Max? Gertrude - Nigel? Oh, well...
Again, I'll submit a proper EoG soon!
Royally,
Adam

| (DC 324) A Stab in the Dark - Spring 1904 Results - Corrino (May 20, 2010, 8:59 pm) |
Players,
That's more like it! It's about time we had a nice stealth round. In all the continent we have conflict in only 3 spaces this turn: Spain, Bulgaria and the Ionian Sea. A cloak of darkness covers most of the land north of the Med. Now that's what blind games are all about.
What's more, this turn sees two retreats, one for each of our wicked witches. Are we seeing the beginning of an organized resistance, or are the Munchkins about to experience a brutal retaliation? Find out next time, on (cue theme music) "A Stab in the Dark."
RETREATS DUE: England and Turkey to please submit retreats ASAP. Deadline is Friday, May 21, at 8 pm Eastern US time. Failure to submit retreat orders will result in the unit
being disbanded.
Once I have the retreats I will notify the involved parties.
FALL 1904 DEADLINE: Monday, May 24, at 8 pm Eastern US time.
Cheers,
Chris
