Hi Players,
Many thanks to the Russian player for getting his retreat in so quickly. I'm not even in my pajamas yet!
Here are the SC counts at the conclusion of 1902. As you can see, we have a new board leader. Or should that be, as you CAN'T see. Where the heck did he get 7 SC? At the risk of being trite, that's for him to know and you to figure out.
COUNTRY SC
Austria 1
England 7
France 5
Germany 4
Italy 5
Russia 6
Turkey 6
==================================================
NEXT DEADLINE:
Winter 1902/Spring 1903 are due Friday, May 14, at 8 pm Eastern
time. If all orders are in and marked Final I may adjudicate 24 hours earlier.
AGAIN... Winter and Spring are due TOGETHER. One mail message, please.[Reply] |

| variants vs. standard - vegas_iwish (May 10, 2010, 6:25 pm) |
| I have always run tons of variants and faced the "romanticism" people have for standard. Even minor adjs that really improve (IMHO) the game like Milan somehow make the game "sacreligious"(yes have been hit with that term). When I was 10 I was already an SPI/AH wargamer; games with true realism; complexity; historical accuracy. Dip was a kids game played when had non-wargamers in a group. I never could get many WGs to play it once rules like beleagured garrisons; no supply lines; 1 german army not > 2 russian armies (tannenberg/mansurian lakes); etc came up. No variant can stretch dip up to the level of the wargames but they are what can get done so I do them. I'd sacrifice balance for historical feel any day but Standard & some variants work as games. I & A are not as big underdogs as people make them out. People get too caught up in the mysticism of dip vs just playing it. [Reply] |

Players -
I think you'll our map this time. I'm going to call it "The Hungarian Hurricane" for reasons which I think will be obvious to all.
You'll notice that our trend of MANY revealed moves in the East and only a few in the West has been even more exaggerated this season. Only two units stand revealed amongst our EFG trio, while in the east, there are not many more than that left secret. Is this the way it always goes in Stab! you may be wondering. No, not in my experience, I must answer.
I'd love to comment on who's up and who's down, but alas, the Tsar owes us a retreat order for A Vienna. Can't say anything like that until afterwards.
If I can have that retreat ASAP, please. Once I have the retreat in hand, I will publish the SC counts and you can start planning your builds and moves for
1903.
Cheers,
Chris

| DC319: Fall 1937 Moves - charlesf (May 10, 2010, 6:10 pm) |
Hallo zusammen,
if you thought the manoeuvres earlier this year
promised a revival of Republican fortunes, think again. The Nationalists were
able to march into the Spanish capital unopposed as the Republicans had left to
cover their Valencia base - without their own provisional capital falling into
foreign hands as the Western powers inconclusively fought over those spoils. But
Franco's exploits do not stop there as his Catalan Army made a timely move on
Marseille, thus dooming France's Southern army.
As for the lesser powers, only Iraq and the
southern provinces of Yugoslavia succumbed to foreign pressure this season,
whereas Hungary and Sweden were able to defy their greater neighbours. This
means that the minor power casualty list for 1937 features 5 victims. As
opposed to 8 in 1936 (not counting Madrid). Checking out the previous 1926
playtest, there were 13 fewer minor powers after the first year and another
three bit the bullet in the second year. So we're looking at a somewhat
slower decrease in minor powers.
I am glad that the Times of London remain filled with letters to the
editor. 
The Winter 1937 Retreats/Adjustments are due NLT 6PM CET
on Wednesday, 12 May.
Liebe Grüsse,
Charles

Letter to the Times
Dear Times, I cannot fathom how could this influential newspaper publish
such blatant Soviet propaganda. I speak of the article in the last installment
of this paper by a certain Col J.T Hartley. The statements made in this article
are either blatant lies or merely perplexing without the right background. So
let me explain the current situation. The British Empire declined the proposed
treaty and decided to stay in full force. Under Article 9 of the Constantinople
Convention of the Suez Canal the Egyptian Government decided to intervene. They
asked for help and the Turkish fleet agreed in the good faith. The Suez was
liberated, but sadly Port Said was badly damaged in the ensuring conflict. All
the financial control of Suez Canal lies now in the hands of the Suez Canal
Authority. The increased commission will go to the repairs of the destructed
parts in Port Said. There are also plans to use the increased money flow to
widen the Canal up to 60 meters. The Suez Canal itself is now protected by a
token force of the Turkish soldiers, as agreed by the Turko-Egyptian Treaty of
1937. The Constantinople Convention of the Suez Canal as signed by all present
parties is still in force. The Canal is open to any vessel and will stay open
even in this troubled times.
Yours truly, Mehmet Vehib Kaçı.
PIC OF THE DAY: Japanese forces enter Nanking,
rumors of massacres.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: "The Allied high command's dominating thought was to make
sure of success, a thought that led it to use orthodox methods and material. As
a result it was almost always possible for me, despite inadequate means of
reconnaissance and scanty reports, to foresee the next strategic or tactical
move of my opponent." -Albert Kesselring

First things first, we reveal the results of voting on the endgame proposals.
The 3-way draw among England, Italy, and Russia fails.
The 2-way draw between Italy and Russia succeeds, as it receives YES votes from all 4 remaining players.
Congratulations to Eric and Marc! Matthew R. and Michael, thanks for playing as well, you will receive some survivor points in the tournament standings. And although they were eliminated, thanks again to Matthew J., Mikael, and Scott for playing. Also, special thanks to Kyle for stepping in for a season.
For everyone's reference, the final game map from winter 1906 is attached. I hope to see you again in a future game.

| Sean, by Standard Dip not being balanced I meant that, for example, most people would prefer not to draw Austria or Italy. You and Mike are correct in that other factors tend to make the game playable anyway (although it takes significant skill and luck to win with those two). [Reply] |
| DC 298 spring 1917 Adjucation - untitled36 (May 10, 2010, 12:50 pm) |
One thing I overlooked. Trieste has a retreat too. It can retreat to Bud or otb. And even though both russian armies only have one real retreat possible, I still need them submitted, since I only auto adjucate if *every* retreat only has one option. Italy has two. Just FYI in case you wondered why I did it that way.

| variants vs. standard - Sean2010 (May 10, 2010, 12:46 pm) |
In my opinion, I'm better at Standard Diplomacy because I have a better understanding to the map's balance that dictates the map's dynamics through geography and geopolitics, which are included in its prequel Colonial Diplomacy although it's less played so I don't know that map's balance and dynamics well, and I'm more of a poor-medicore diplomat.
"Mike has successfully hammered this point home to me on a few occasions by pointing out that the standard game is anything but balanced, and yet it's, uh, playable."
The balance is through the whole map makeup. Standard Diplomacy is divided by the stalemate line dividing the sphere's of influence by 17-17 supply centers between the West-East sphere's of control. The stalemate line isn't totally a fixed position derived through the map's dynamics or players' decisions as the game progresses like Army v Fleet ratio.[Reply] |

I received the late orders reasonably within the grace period,
additional delay was caused by my busy weekend and morning here. As I
believe this is the first offense by the player in question, I have
accepted the orders, but do ask all players to please *NOT* wait until
after your negotiations to submit your first set of orders. Send your
impulse prelims as soon as the adjudication is released, and then
revise them as you see fit.
The DIAS is voted down, and a new 3-way draw is proposed -
Bulgaria/Greece/Rumania. Please include your votes on that with your
fall orders. No retreats needed, as the only dislodge is forcibly
disbanded.
***NEXT DEADLINE: I will be away from the computer Thursday through

| Mike has successfully hammered this point home to me on a few occasions by pointing out that the standard game is anything but balanced, and yet it's, uh, playable.

In my opinion, I'm better at Standard Diplomacy because I have a better understanding to the map's balance that dictates the map's dynamics through geography and geopolitics, which are included in its prequel Colonial Diplomacy although it's less played so I don't know that map's balance and dynamics well, and I'm more of a poor-medicore diplomat.
"Mike has successfully hammered this point home to me on a few occasions by pointing out that the standard game is anything but balanced, and yet it's, uh, playable."
The balance is through the whole map makeup. Standard Diplomacy is divided by the stalemate line dividing the sphere's of influence by 17-17 supply centers between the West-East sphere's of control. The stalemate line isn't totally a fixed position derived through the map's dynamics or players' decisions as the game progresses like Army v Fleet ratio. |
| variants vs. standard (Community) txurce May 10, 01:00 pm |
| Sean, by Standard Dip not being balanced I meant that, for example, most people would prefer not to draw Austria or Italy. You and Mike are correct in that other factors tend to make the game playable anyway (although it takes significant skill and luck to win with those two). |
| variants vs. standard - Kenshi777 (May 10, 2010, 11:25 am) |
to an extent, yes. this is true in variants with minor imbalances. I
would say that even Standard has minor imbalances, yet this dynamic
you describe makes all the positions playable. Major imbalances - the
sort that result in "forced" alliances - can remove this effect
though.
-
I have a simple rule of thumb for variant design, a question that
variant designers should critically ask themselves of each position on
their map.
-
...and that is, "does this player have at least two alliance options
with roughly equal incentive?"
-
If the answer is no, then the negotiating element of the game is
eliminated, and though there may remain an entertaining tactical
fight, the opening phase of the game at least becomes predictable when
one alliance is clearly the more profitable option than the other.
-
This is not always apparent prior to playtesting. Speaking from
painful experience, it is all too easy to get "tunnel vision" about a
particular positon as one is designing the map, and not realize that
an alliance pairing is forced.

Hey all,
England stirs from his slumber, and contributes to the sack of Munich. Will the alliance be able to stop the russian advance? This was a good turn for the alliance, but there's still a lot that could happen!
Two retreats needed: Russian A MUN can retreat to Boh or otb. Italian Army Sil can retreat to Boh, Pru, or otb.
Also, as an FYI, the english move means it's 4 more major seasons until an NMR is counted as a yes vote to end game proposals, though I'll still hold his vote "yes" to any dias as good (unless he has told or will tell me otherwise, of course!).
Thanks all, get those retreats in by tomorrow at 8:00 AM CST.

Hey Guys,
I believe I'm missing multiple (3 I think) adjustments. I'm going to
write this off to the deadline falling on the weekend and push
adjustments to Monday at 9 pm ET, given that I'm not sure everyone has
weekend access. If I get adjustments marked 'final' from everyone
before that, I'll adjudicate then.
This also means that we'll need to push the Spring/Summer '04
deadlines. If I push Spring to Thursday and Summer to Friday, does
this give everyone enough time to get what they need to do done? We'd
go back to Wednesday move deadlines after that.
Unless I hear otherwise I'll assume that this is ok with everyone.
Best,
Mike

Good evening everyone,
Sorry about being a day late again, thanks though for the timely builds! I finally have a slow week, but my weekends are going to be insane from here on out, so I'm thinking Friday deadlines for spring/fall, and Tuesday for retreats or winter. Does that sound good? I know some of you also have busy weekends, so I want to make sure you have time. We'll see how everything works out though.
And if you have been checking the website for this game's details, I apologize for not posting these. Hopefully by tomorrow evening I will be all caught up. I just finished my exams last week which is probably why I have been forgetting deadlines and things, so we should be good now. That also means that I am going to be able to be more strict with deadlines, so keep that in mind. Here are the orders:
ADJUSTMENTS:
Russia:
Remove F St Petersburg(sc)
Turkey:
Build A Ankara
Build A Constantinople
DEADLINE:
The spring 1905 deadline will be set for ***Friday, May 14th, 9:00pm EST*** If you all get the orders into me before then that would be nice. Because if I am unable to adjudicate that night it might not be until the next Tuesday that I get it out. But we should be fine.

Subject: DCI s16 - Could it be?!
Yes folks after 15-1/2 hard fought years of Invitational goodness, we finally have...
...To carry on!
DIAS is voted down, again. And the mood among the Norwegian Ladies, well, is it just PMS? Or maybe the exceedingly high proportion of centers occupied by opposing units this summer... Russia and Turkey make a land-grab, flexing their little-power muscle into Saint Pete, Sev, Bud, Rom, and even Spain, and forcing the Norwegians in Bohemia OTB. The French fall back to Belgium, taking some lumps of their own - losing their army in Silesia, and every first born into Turkish slavery. This is certainly going down as an unbelievable rags-to-riches, game...
What next?
Well, one easy retreat:
French F Rome can go to Tus, Apu, or OTB by tomorrow 3pm Central!

I have just endured the British election without any winner and it looks much like this game. Its making me into a pacifist.
