Hey everyone... I look forward to the game. One thing to note... Austria and I are both from Winnipeg, MB, and we know each other somewhat. It doesn't mean anything from a tactical standpoint, but it's fair to let you know.

Thanks, Michael. I for one appreciate the heads-up -- it's always best to keep that kind of stuff transparent. Even though as A/E you probably have little chance at collusion!

All,
 
Welcome to Round 2 of Winter Blitz 2010!

Country:       ID:                         Name:                   Email: 
Austria         MDemagogue         Mark Utterback      MDemagogue-at-gmail.com ([email]MDemagogue-at-gmail.com[/email])

Turkey          Jeremiah                Jeremiah Lee         dadidea-at-gmail.com ([email]dadidea-at-gmail.com[/email])

SUPER IMPORTANT NOTES;

Please please copy your orders to orders-at-diplomaticcorp.com ([email]orders-at-diplomaticcorp.com[/email]) EVERY time. This allows the Moderators to step in and run games as needed if last minute issues prevent me from keeping a game on track (due to the fast deadlines). IF YOU DO NOT COPY YOUR ORDERS HERE and a Mod has to run a game, you run the risk of an NMR!
Please note that Fall retreats and Winter builds are combined into one turn! You may make builds conditional on retreats but they are done with ONE deadline.

Please put "DC317; (country)" in your subject line at a minimum.  This will facilitate me being able to find your orders.  If you are in the habit of hitting the reply, PLEASE take the time to change the subject line and delete the body of the previous message.  If I am unable to find your orders, you run the risk of an NMR and the previous season will NOT be redone!
 
You know the rules, same as from Round 1 (Spring Orders - Mondays, Retreat Orders [if necessary] - Tuesdays, Fall Orders - Thursdays, Retreat Orders [if necessary] AND Builds/Disband Orders - Fridays).  I will do automatic retreats if only one retreat is available to facilitate play.  No reminders of the Deadlines will be provided so be sure to get your orders in as soon as possible.  I highly advise submitting preliminary.
 
If you are in the habit of using abbreviations, please use the standard 3-letter abbreviations.  I will not NMR a unit if I can decipher what you wanted (ie F Liv-NAO will be read as F Liverpool to North Atlantic Ocean not F Livonia to NAO).  Also, I will not NMR a unit if you fail to put a unit on the orders (ie Liv-NAO).  However, (there are some rules that cannot be gotten around) if a fleet can move to a country with more than one coast line and you fail to list which coast, the unit will not move due to the confusion (ie F MAO - Spa will cause the movement to fail due to the lack of coastal distinction).  All standard stuff, just a quick posting here to let you know that I will be as lenient as possible.  If I have not covered something and you have any questions, please ask.
 
Also, I will not be posting any comments on the Game.  I do not know how much might have been missed if a GM had not commented on it in his monologue; therefore, I do not post comments.  I will try to not influence the game in anyway.  Though, I am human; I too make mistakes.  When mistakes happen, you need to let me know as soon as possible so that I can make corrections.  If you do not make me aware of the error and the game proceeds to the next season, the deed is done and no correction can be made.
 
If you have made it this far, thank you for patiently reading all that I have for you.  I will not be as long winded during the game.  Best of luck to all of you in Round 2 of Winter Blitz 2010!  Let the Diplomacy begin!

Final Orders for Spring 1901 are due Monday, March 29 by 24:00 hrs GMT.

Sorry for no map or DPY file right now - left my thumb drive at home
on accident. I plan for those to follow this evening. Neither draw
proposal passed, so play continues.

Here are the retreats,

Italy:

Army Ancona retreats to Bologna.

Austria:

Army Novi Sad retreats to Pecs.

Ottomans:

Fleet Salonika retreats OTB.

Thanks!

Welcome to our round 2 game, 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 4 years. Most of my Diplomacy activity recently 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 in recent months. I have the (mis)fortune of working in the budget office of the Governor of Illinois, who took office a year ago after our previous Governor was impeached and removed from office! No, I am not related to our state's junior US Senator, who was appointed by that former Governor before he was sent packing. Incidentally, given our state's 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/winterblitz -- be sure to click the "Rules" option near the top of the main screen once you go to this page. Timing is the same as in round 1; my deadlines will all be at 3pm Central (US) / 21:00 GMT.

An important note: when submitting orders, make sure to include the game identifier "dc-316" 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.

Don't forget to check out the game's page on the DC web site at www.diplomaticcorp.com/?game_id=dc316 -- 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!
Austria: Matthew Jones (matthew.jones.d-at-gmail.com)
England: Michael Penner (mvpenner-at-yahoo.com)
France: Matt Ruhlen (mruhlen-at-hotmail.com)
Germany: Scott Ellis (crimson_93-at-yahoo.com)
Italy: Eric Brown (ecbrown88-at-yahoo.com)
Russia: Marc Peters (madpeters-at-earthlink.net)
Turkey: Mikael Johansson (m_don_j-at-hotmail.com)

The spring 1901 deadline will be Monday, March 29 at 3pm Central (US) / 21:00 GMT. Preliminary orders are strongly encouraged! Also, since Europe's clocks advance this weekend, we should all be back to our usual time difference. Mikael, please let me know if I'm still off an hour.

Thanks for playing, everyone, and happy stabbing!

Cory
