| DC290 winter 1901 deadline - bobbarkerfan1 (Feb 28, 2010, 8:13 pm) |
Hey everyone,
We have a few missing build orders. Because I was gone, I will extend the deadline to tomorrow night, but don't count on me being this generous again! Gotta keep the game flowing.
So if you haven't sent me your builds or want to change your builds you have until tomorrow night. Once I have an e-mail from everyone who has builds, I will adjudicate. So even if you don't want to order a build, you must still send me an e-mail saying you don't want to build.
Thank you!

An interesting note...for whatever reason, the map file for Haven was broken. The move from Shady Vale to Heaven's Well should succeed but RealWorld did not adjudicate as such. I have a shiny new map file that should correct the problem.
Basically it means that the Knight Army in Heaven's Well has to retreat. The only retreat available is to Ice Reach and Nick has confirmed it.
Additionally we have the Troll retreat: F Owlwood retreats to Trog Bog!
We move on to Fall with the deadline confirmed below. I will get a new map file out tonight once I get home.

Wow! First, thanks to all for staying on target with orders. It seems to have been a while since we had a smooth turn so it seemed that this humble GM should stay up late (in spite of a rough work day of travel) to get our results out. Second, I am quite intrigued by the twists this game continues to take. I cannot wait to see the finish on this one!
We have one lone retreat: The Troll F at Owlwood can retreat to Trog Bog, to Troldhaugen or OTB. Please send me that by Saturday at 6pm CST. If you mark it FINAL before that I will get out an update.
Beyond that, let's set up Fall16 for March the 4th at 6pm CST. I need to get that deadline in before heading out of town the next day!

END OF GAME STATEMENT - TURKEY
From almost the very start my dilemma was Draw versus Solo, and it continued until the very end.
I quickly formed two very separate alliances - one with Poland, one with Britain - and at the end brought them together for the agreed three-way draw.
At the start I was very fortunate that Poland went after USSR, needing minimal help from me. This allowed me to push France out of the Middle East, with a great deal of behind the scenes help from Britain.
I was lucky to suddenly and quickly have no powers to my east or south, and (secret?) allies to the north and west.
Although Poland kept asking if I was still going to honor our alliance, my dedication to it, and to him, was never in doubt. There were moments, however, as we moved toward the most recent turns, when I began to fear the Poland was getting ready to try for the solo.
My coordination with Britain worked wonderfully. Together we were able to whittle away at French strength, while hopefully disguising the cooperation with one another.
When the new Italy came on board, I found myself quite angry at his failure to live up to his commitments. I’m not sure what the outcome would have been had he followed through on his announced plans for attacking France, but once he reneged (which was almost instantly) I decided that, no matter what, I was going to work for his elimination.
Draw versus Solo - It is never my style to stab allies. Although I got outside encouragement to attack Britain, from those who perhaps were unaware of all the help he was giving me, I just could not see myself doing that. In addition, especially when I began to think (rightly or wrongly) that Poland was positioning for the solo, I saw Britain as my insurance policy. And, at the very end it became clear that, whatever Poland’s earlier intentions, Wladimir was willing to help me against Italy, and was happy to take part in a draw.
I must admit that even at the end I was still considering going for the solo. However my misunderstanding about fleet movement from Egy to ATO lost me time. When Dirk proposed the three-way I hesitated to agree, thought about it overnight, and finally decided the time had come to accept a draw. I just did not have the energy (given both other game involvement and some non-game time commitments) to try to grab the solo. Nor did I believe I could succeed.
Thanks to all for a fun game. Thanks to those who kibitzed from the sidelines and gave me great suggestions and even better criticism. And special thanks to Charles for creating it, starting it, managing it and getting it moving again after it bogged down.

| 1926 091119: Peace Restored! - Britain EOG - dknemeyer (Feb 27, 2010, 10:27 pm) |
Hi Everyone,
This was an uneven game thanks to some of the lags in playing time based on players leaving and not being able to get prompt replacements. More than anything, for me, this defined the game. I'm glad I played because I do enjoy Charles' variants and was glad to test this, but ultimately the playing of it didn't turn out to be very much fun. A shame.
At the beginning of the game I forged a strong, direct relationship with France and a strong, less direct relationship with Poland and Turkey. I am a reliable ally in Diplomacy, so pretty early on I was already sweating, wondering how to architect a result that was not a bloated 4-way draw without stabbing.
Early on France and I worked well together. I liked my end of our strategic split of SC's - his getting much of Africa, my getting Iberia and the Lowlands - and felt well-positioned for a good result. When Germany built a fleet in Kie over my strenuous objections in Winter 1926 he became my target and I spent much of the next three years working myself and with others to bring about his demise. My premise was that, because he was a threat, I could simply use his spheres of influence as a path to growth without upsetting my alliances.
There were two major events that dictated my evolving strategy: first was the full-on assault of Russia by Germany, Poland and Turkey. I managed to cooperate with Mikael for a time without upsetting my allies and then toward the end game exchanged a guarantee of survival for getting to use his units as an extension of my own. This allowed me to keep Poland from growing too large too quickly, while having a greater reach to batter Germany with.
The other major event was France allowing himself to get stabbed by Turkey. This destabilized his African holdings and thus threatened to have a trickle-down effect that would result in his trying to get some of my territory in Iberia and the Lowlands. It quickly became clear that I would need to stab him in order to prevent his mistakes from diluting my position. However, the original player quit and I quickly liked working with Darryl, his replacement. This led me to try and cooperate with Darryl while staying loyal to Poland and Turkey *and* keeping Russia alive. It wasn't easy. My hope was the board situation would create a clear and justifiable path-to-action that would not constitute a stab.
The event that nearly turned the final result of the game on it's head was Poland blatantly lying to Turkey and I in 1929. Comparing notes and realizing this, Turkey and I prepared to pound him in the fall. However, some press from Poland to Turkey in the summer changed Harvey's mind and we simply worked with him to shatter the opposition and drive toward a triple, the vote for which was, as we now know, successful.
This variant turned out very differently from how I expected. I thought Turkey was easily the weakest power going in, but watching the game play out a little I felt the position was a lot stronger than it looked. Poland was the power I most wanted and the strength of that position when well-played came across in our result. Yet I felt the same way about Russia (my second choice) and he was functionally the first player out despite having a top player holding the reigns. Needless to say my assessment on relative strengths may be misguided.
This variant is similar to Standard with a few key differences:
1. The addition of neutral armies that can be influenced by DP's. This is a favourite mechanism of Charles in his variants and adds a lot more diplomatic intrigue. The only downside with it is that all of the neutrals are typically conquered in the first few years, making it an early game only mechanism
2. The replacement of Austria with Poland. This is the biggest difference because it moves that power's center of gravity from southwest by Italy and the Balkans up toward Russia in particular, as well as closer to Germany. I suspect this will almost always force an early Poland-Russia conflict that will define the game for both. It also takes some pressure off of Italy and shifts it onto Germany, but unfortunately that does not make things any easier for Italy because...
3. Britain, France and Italy each have African holdings, which collectively stretch across the Med. This is why I incorrectly thought Turkey was a poor position since both France and Britain are in it's back yard; as it turned out, the remote nature of the BF positions makes the eastern Med untenable against a competent Turkey player, even less against a talented player like Harvey. In turn this funnels all of those fleets right at Italy. While Italy starts with African holdings the Med the area is just too busy and contested, not giving him much room to play. These shifts in power and influence are not necessarily a good or bad thing, but I suspect that, compared to Standard, Germany, Italy and Russia are worse off while the other four are all better off. Further testing of this variant might challenge these assumptions which are obviously coloured by the result!
As I mentioned at the outset I did not ultimately enjoy this game because of the long delays. Regardless I do enjoy the variant and like much of what Charles does as a GM so will be happy to play it again in the future. Thank you, Charles, for creating and running the game; thanks to Harvey and Wladimir for both being enjoyable to blather on with over the months of the game; and thanks to all of the other players for this game.

Hi guys,

Congratulations to Dirk, Wlad and Harvey for turning their respective countries into such powerhouses. The three-way draw matches those three countries' dominance of Europe. Yet let me also commend Matt, Mikael, Darryl and Greg for having fought the good fight. I'm especially grateful to Darryl and Greg for having taken over powers that were under considerable stress. Whatever the outcome you achieved, I hope you enjoyed the game and thank you all for having served as playtesters.
As my house rules stipulate that any further season is not adjucated, no winter adjucation here follows. But I wonder whether I should base the DC SC charts on what would have followed this winter. Perhaps I should inofficially publish it simply for that purpose and for sake of interest. Not sure.
Now only one last - hopefully not too onerous - task remains, namely for everyone involved to submit their EOG reports. Please send them to me by our traditional moves deadline time, Thursday 6 PM CET. I shall then publish them together with my own two cents and an assortment of stats.

Hey folks! Sorry for the delay - a tree came down in my yard Thursday evening, and it missed hitting my house only because it got caught by some power lines. And the tree knocked down a street light as well. And the fire department came yesterday, put up caution tape, and left. So I've been a bit busy with that. But hopefully tonight I'll have time to adjud. In fact!
Persia:
Build Army in Antioch
Egypt:
Build Fleet in Alexandria
Build Army in Memphis
Carthage:
Remove Army in Massilia
There. I'll send a map out tonight given that I'm at work right now.
Deadline for Spring 297 is March 5th at 5 PM EST.
Take care!

GM’s remarks:
Tournament Judges say standard End-Game Proposal rules apply at the Spring and Fall seasons.
Therefore, we have a German Solo EGP on the boards for the Spring season. Please provide your vote with your Spring Orders. If the vote is unanimous, the victory will be awarded to Germany; if not, the adjudication will occur as usual with the offered orders. Therefore, I need both a set of orders and your vote on the EGP. The vote does need to be unanimous amongst ALL surviving countries (controlling at least 1 supply center) and the lack of a vote will be counted as a “no” vote.
So, don’t forget your vote AND your orders.

Austria and Russia each raise an army, while England adds one of each unit type. Germany gives up his armies in Paris and Ruhr.
Spring 1908 orders will be due Monday 3/1 at 3pm Central (US) / 21:00 GMT. As you have already seen from Nigs' message, there will be an endgame proposal for you to vote on along with your orders, a 2-way draw between England and Turkey. Please be sure to cast your vote; an abstention or a missed vote counts the same as a "no" vote.

*ahem*
Few cities in the world have retained their significance throughout
the centuries as Istanbul has, stretching all the way back to the
Classical Ages as a major center of commerce and culture. Despite the
decline of the Ottoman Empire, Istanbul was still one of the most
populous and influential cities in the world. Apparently, it is no
less desirable in our game, as four different players are fighting or
supporting actions in the region of Istanbul this season, culminating
in the the fall of the city to Bulgarian invaders. The Turks will not
be denied their vengeance however, as Salonika was captured by the
Fleet in the Sea of Marmara. The Greek invasion of Italy advances in
the south, while the Austrian front is slowed somewhat by the
destruction of A Bologna. Allen may be glad to see it go however, as
the Romanian invasion of his eastern borders has begun. Austria
manages to block one Romanian attack, but not the second - and has a
retreat pending for A Sarajevo. Speaking of Serbia, a bit of
confusion with the Greeks it seems - who do not vacate Bitola,
supported or otherwise.
RETREATS REQUIRED: A Sarajevo can retreat to Spalato or OTB.

| DC224 Slaughter At StoryTime - A Programming Error... - garry.bledsoe (Feb 26, 2010, 12:34 pm) |
All,
An interesting note...for whatever reason, the map file for Haven was broken. The move from Shady Vale to Heaven's Well should succeed but RealWorld did not adjudicate as such. I have a shiny new map file that should correct the problem.
Basically it means that the Knight Army in Heaven's Well has to retreat. The only retreat available is to Ice Reach and Nick has confirmed it.
Additionally we have the Troll retreat: F Owlwood retreats to Trog Bog!
We move on to Fall with the deadline confirmed below. I will get a new map file out tonight once I get home.

All Orders On Time And On We March...
Many Races Seem to Decide That The Trolls Are Naughty
The Ogres Continue Expansion
The Faeries Reposition and Press Their Fronts Forward
The Dwarves Lose a Center But Scream Parlay As They Do Some Pirating of Their Own
The Knights Defend Their Northern Stronghold But For How Long?
The Undead Reclaim To-Gai-Ru for the Interim.
A Brutal Fall Awaits...
Wow! First, thanks to all for staying on target with orders. It seems to have been a while since we had a smooth turn so it seemed that this humble GM should stay up late (in spite of a rough work day of travel) to get our results out. Second, I am quite intrigued by the twists this game continues to take. I cannot wait to see the finish on this one!
We have one lone retreat: The Troll F at Owlwood can retreat to Trog Bog, to Troldhaugen or OTB. Please send me that by Saturday at 6pm CST. If you mark it FINAL before that I will get out an update.
Beyond that, let's set up Fall16 for March the 4th at 6pm CST. I need to get that deadline in before heading out of town the next day!

| ACD236/DC288: Balkans1860 - Resume - Kenshi777 (Feb 26, 2010, 11:06 am) |
I have heard from the missing player, and received all orders, to
include the missing retreats. Since those may significantly impact
other players moves, I am publishing those results now, and will
adjudicate the Fall 1862 season on Monday, to allow players the chance
to react to the retreats during the weekend.
Hopefully this will finally be the last of our delays. After the
Monday deadline, I expect to adjudicate Winter promptly on Thursday,
and Spring 1863 the following Thursday.
Italian Retreats:
A Bologna - Firenze
A Ancona disbands.
Thanks -
B.

Wien, and a Greek A Larisa. Without further ado, we move straight
away to the Spring of 1862, which will be due Thursday, February 15,
at 1700 EST.
As always, my thanks to all who have been CCing me on player
negotiations - please keep it up!

ITALY: Adam Levy
AUSTRIA-HUNGARY: Allen York
SERBIA: Garry Bledsoe
GREECE: Nigel Phillips
ROMANIA: Mike Sims

| dc291 fall 1907 draw proposal - Nigs (Feb 26, 2010, 3:07 am) |
Last season was mostly a series of hold orders - the only dot which changed hands in the autumn was my taking Paris. I have suggested to Cory that we have a vote on a 2 way E/T draw with the winter adjustments (which everyone has)Currently all four of you are in a long-term 4 way alliance which has endured 5+ years. Dirk and Nathan are on equal dots at 10. the only significant progress that can be made is if you now turn on one another, other than Nathan getting a marginal advantage on Dirk in round 2 by taking Bel. It looks unlikely to me that such a stab will occur, unless someone has a solo run in mind, in which case the other three of you should be able to prevent that.
So have a think about whether this one has run its course.
