| DC-272 EOG Turkey - pieandmash (Feb 14, 2010, 2:26 pm) |
hey well big thanks to our GM for quite a marathon game.
Playing turkey game me an ace from the start and the luxury of waiting to see the desperate diplomacy in the boot powers. Joe showed that being a boot power can work very well once you have a foot in the door so to speak, or a toe hole.... not unlike standard dip, but perhaps the corners have more advantange in this map- certainly the stalemate lines for me were simple.
My long term alliance with Venice worked very well and I knew i just had to be patient.......
So dislikes of this variant- the province abbreviations- just annoyingly easy to get wrong.
Likes- the map on the whole was interesting. The power bases in the middle crazy mixed up-- making it fierce in there for the begining years.
Suggestions- even up the high risk centre by providing more neutral sc there, or less in the corners...adding more boot provinces perhaps
thanks guys was fun ( and especially thanks to Mike for covering for me)

Subject: DC-272 Game Over
Guys,
I'm pleased to announce the end of DC-272: Machiavelli Map-Only Play Test. A unanimous YES vote to the T/V draw means you can all feel free to move on to your next challenge. Thanks for participating, and I'd personally appreciate EoG statements. Specifically, since this was a play test, I'd like to see your comments on map balance, what you'd like to see changed, etc. You can send them Reply All or directly to me (I'll send them to everyone). Thanks for playing!
I hope my quotes put you all in mind of the man this variant is named for. At the least, I hope you enjoyed reading them. This final quote says as much about Diplomacy players as any other group of people - I am pleased to acquaint myself with all of you, and hope to run into you many times in future games.
"There is no better indication of a man’s character than the company which he keeps; and therefor very properly a man who keeps respectable company acquires a good name, for it is impossible that there should not be some similitude of character and habits between him and his associates." - Niccoló Machiavelli, The Discourses. 1517

New EGPs Fail
All,
Sorry for the delay. We were missing a vote and I could not allow that to be ignored. Our EGPs fail so we move on. Orders were:
Russia - Armies everywhere except for a F in StP (nc)
Austria - F in Tri
Germany - remove F in Bre
France - GM disbands F MAO and F GoL (per standard rules)
We move on to Spring 1907. Those orders are due Sunday the 21st at 6pm CST.

Lots of turnover in center control this season all over the map.
England gains control of Denmark and also holds on to Sweden after a 3-way bounce. Germany attempts to take Belgium, but the French defenders hold their ground. England overcomes French defense and sails into Brest, while French defenders stymie the Turkish-supported Russian attack on Marseilles. Turkey guesses correctly (or Italy guesses incorrectly) and sails unopposed into Rome. Italy attempts to support Austria's move to Budapest that would leave Italy in control of Vienna, but Turkey crashes the party by moving from Rumania to Galicia with Russian support, leaving Russia in control of Rumania.
There is one autumn retreat due from Italy. Marc, I won't issue a default order because you have multiple retreat options:
The Italian army in Galicia may retreat to Bohemia, Silesia, or OTB.
Winter adjustments will be due as follows:
Austria: build 1
England: build 2
France: remove 1
Germany: remove 1
Italy: remove 2 (or remove 1 if retreat OTB)
Turkey: build 1
Both the autumn retreat and winter adjustments will be due tomorrow, Friday 2/12 at 3pm Central (US) / 21:00 GMT. You may submit conditional adjustment orders based on the Italian retreat.
It is very likely that I will be away for both this turn and the spring 1906 moves on Monday, as both of these days are state holidays. Normally, I would be stuck at work during these holidays attempting to balance the state's budget, but our Governor signed a bill today that delays the budget's due date. No offense to the Diplomacy community, but I plan not to be at my work computer so I can enjoy these days off that I rarely get to see. Garry or Mike will take care of business in my absence - PLEASE be sure to cc: the Orders box. Thanks!

England gains control of Denmark and also holds on to Sweden after a 3-way bounce. Germany attempts to take Belgium, but the French defenders hold their ground. England overcomes French defense and sails into Brest, while French defenders stymie the Turkish-supported Russian attack on Marseilles. Turkey guesses correctly (or Italy guesses incorrectly) and sails unopposed into Rome. Italy attempts to support Austria's move to Budapest that would leave Italy in control of Vienna, but Turkey crashes the party by moving from Rumania to Galicia with Russian support, leaving Russia in control of Rumania.
There is one autumn retreat due from Italy. Marc, I won't issue a default order because you have multiple retreat options:
The Italian army in Galicia may retreat to Bohemia, Silesia, or OTB.
Winter adjustments will be due as follows:
Austria: build 1
England: build 2
France: remove 1
Germany: remove 1
Italy: remove 2 (or remove 1 if retreat OTB)
Turkey: build 1
Both the autumn retreat and winter adjustments will be due tomorrow, Friday 2/12 at 3pm Central (US) / 21:00 GMT. You may submit conditional adjustment orders based on the Italian retreat.
It is very likely that I will be away for both this turn and the spring 1906 moves on Monday, as both of these days are state holidays. Normally, I would be stuck at work during these holidays attempting to balance the state's budget, but our Governor signed a bill today that delays the budget's due date. No offense to the Diplomacy community, but I plan not to be at my work computer so I can enjoy these days off that I rarely get to see. Garry or Mike will take care of business in my absence - PLEASE be sure to cc: the Orders box. Thanks!

A Brave New World
(a lyrical message from the Sultan, inspired by the artistry of our English friend)
1905 proved quite a year
Across our land so fair.
Word was spread 'bout deceit afoot
Against our Sultan dear.
Pressed to learn, our spies did find
A proverbial murderer's row.
FGI all lead the way!
With A and R in tow.
What must a Turkish chap then do,
Faced with impure threats?
Ally with gentle Lion of course,
To push and claw and scratch.
The spring now past and strength aligned,
What should new friends now do?
Welcome even more of course!
Come Russia, and Austria too.
The first step in the fall is just,
Precursor of things to come.

Hey everybody,
My apologies for not sending this out last night, I was unable to get to my computer. We do have one missed deadline however, and as I told you all in the welcome e-mail, each player will be awarded one grace period for 24 hours. If the orders are not received by then, then they received an NMR. And every missed deadline after that is an NMR.
Everybody is free to change their orders or continue negotiating until this deadline.
Once again, my apologies for the start of this game, hopefully once this first turn is in the books the game will start to flow.
Joey

Hey everybody. Hope you are all ready to go because this thing is under way! I was able to get everyone one of their top choices, so this should be a good game for everybody. And thank you for the input regarding deadlines. I will make sure to not have Monday deadlines, and in April, I will make all the deadlines between Tuesday and Thursday. For those of you anticipating to be absent for extended periods of time, let me know about a week in advance when you would like the deadlines "to be or not to be." With all of that being said, I wish you all the best of luck and hope this game turns out great!
DEADLINE:
The spring 1901 deadline will be ***Saturday, February 13th, 9:00pm EST*** I will make every deadline 9:00pm EST as to remain consistant with this game and my other game. If this is a problem for anyone let me know. I advise you, if you live in a different time zone, to find out when this is for you or to ask me so you know exactly when you need orders in by. I am almost always on time sending out adjudications, so if you think you will need extra time, let me know BEFORE the deadline and I'll extend it as need be.

Alright, because I still haven't heard from John yet, I am going to begin looking for a replacement. John, if you get this please reply ASAP, because I will keep you listed in the game until I find someone else. I think this is the best option because the game hasn't started yet, and it won't disrupt the game too badly with a replacement now.
I apologize everyone, just sit tight for a little longer until a replacement is found or I get an e-mail from John.
Thanks,

| dc293 build adjustment - FuzzyLogic (Feb 14, 2010, 8:12 am) |
Hey guys, Adam asked me to check the orders box since one player said he cc’d missing orders there. They were indeed there, and on time, so they are to be counted!
* France builds A Mar *
Everything else is the same.
*****
Alright... so today's adjudication is an educational opportunity in the strictness of Winter Blitz rules and the it-falls-on-the-shoulders-of-the-player-even-when-the-GM-is-totally-out-of-touch interpretations. Explanations in a minute...
F1905R:
German A Kiel - Ruhr
German A Warsaw - Ukraine
W1905:
England: Remove F Berlin
France: Build waived
Germany: Remove A Ukraine
Remove F Helgoland Bight
Italy: Remove A Apulia
Russia: Build A Moscow
Build F St Petersburg(nc)
Turkey: Build A Smyrna
So, Germany submitted a retreat order but failed to include an adjustment order... and as the rules state, Fall Retreats and Winter Adjustments are adjudicated simultaneously. The Ukrainian army and Helgoland fleet were disbanded in accordance with tournament rules on NBRs. I will check with the tournament moderators to see whether this will lead to an NMR in club stats or not.
France is away from home and is using an alternate email address... or, at least he did so for Fall 1905. The problem is: I didn't realize until now that this inconvenience would extend until today. Consequently, I only emailed the Fall adjudication to his usual inbox. A gentle, kind, and loving GM would postpone the adjudication and give France a second chance. But a Winter Blitz tournament GM would note that: (a) the adjudications were posted to the DC website for all the public to behold, and (b) it is the player's responsibility to contact the GM if he has not received the adjudication. In short, the tournament does not allow for leniency, no matter how much the GM can empathize with the player. France NBRs.

All apologies,
I waited as long as I could but I never got Troll orders so I really have no choice but to put them in NMR this turn.
We have one retreat needed as the Undead Fleet in To-Gai-Ru is dislodged. It can go to Walk of Clouds, All Saints Bay, Palmaris or OTB.
Please send that order in by Monday the 15th at 6pm CST. From there we will progress to Winter!

Hi folks,
This is just a note to extend my sincere apologies to all of you for my lack of participation of late. Just having a hard time finding dip time amongst a lot of things going on.
I will pick up the pieces of my scattered forces and attempt to forge on. I will be chatting with some of you over the next day or so.

The Knights Last Stand?
All apologies,
I waited as long as I could but I never got Troll orders so I really have no choice but to put them in NMR this turn.
We have one retreat needed as the Undead Fleet in To-Gai-Ru is dislodged. It can go to Walk of Clouds, All Saints Bay, Palmaris or OTB.
Please send that order in by Monday the 15th at 6pm CST. From there we will progress to Winter!
Sorry Warren.

| Diplomacy World Variant Design Contest - diplomacyworld (Feb 13, 2010, 1:54 pm) |
Just wanted to remind everyone that the deadline for the DW Variant Design Contets is March 15th. We've got a few fully-completed entries so far, but I am hoping to get at leats two more. Take a look at the contets if you haven't already. Remember, it doesn't matter how "pretty" the map looks. And if you don't think you're much good at variant design, perhaps somebody can take your initial ideas and build them into something better later on!
Check out the contest rules and guidelines at the Diplomacy World website (http://www.diplomacyworld.net) or use the direct link to DW #108 at:
http://www.diplomacyworld.net/pdf/dw108.pdf
And don't forget, whether you submit a variant or not, we are always looking for more material for the magazine itself!

GM’s remarks:
As Italy rightfully noted, his retreat to Naples changed the supply recount. I mentioned at the beginning of the game, I will do my best NOT to influence the game in anyway. So with Italy’s retreat to Naples, Italy need only disband 1 unit; but, Turkey must now disband 1 unit. Hence, the reason why the recount at the bottom of the Fall Results listed a disband for Turkey, even though he showed as breaking even.
No response from Russia regarding a disband order. Therefore, I must enforce the Civil Disorder rules and automatically disband one for him. Derek, I hope you are still with us. If nothing else, send me a Hold order for Sevastopol prior to Monday and Thursday. Please don’t abandon the game as this will put a black mark on you on the DiplomaticCorp site.
Congratulations everyone on making it to Spring 1906 in Winter Blitz 2010!

"It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing. The shadow, even the darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you - That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding onto something."
"What are we holding onto, Sam?"

| DC-272 Game Over - chaosonejoe (Feb 12, 2010, 7:34 pm) |
Well, that was fun for a while, tedious at times, and mostly interesting.
I've been around the Diplomacy board for a long time, face-to-face, a few mail games, and rounds of email (of which I've been in more than a few recently, and mostly in spurts of activity.
Obviously I dared to choose Florence for the obvious connections. I've studied Machiavelli, put together a few game concepts, and respect the man as a writer/commentator/political analyst. But then, I don't quote him all that often.
Definite differences between this game and Dip, and this game and the board game. The lack of 'other' options than pure diplomacy definitely changes things up. The reliance on the board seems vastly unbalanced, yet strangely enough I lucked into some early success, and Venice played well in the endgame (as it were, because once Garry turned on me and turned the tide, it was rather obvious where it was headed.)
I did have disappointment in the decided lack of communcation. As Mr. Wolf said, there was leniency in the playtest aspect, and because of that, I think we all strayed from routine. I'm thinking that turned into a decided indifference to give-and-take at the tipping point, but that's my perspective.
Start of game was really intense, and seems to be the most fascinating aspect of the board. Papacy/Florence/Naples is just crazy in the setup. Unfortunately, our dear friend Brutus decided to role-play, and I do admit that was hard to handle. However it did allow for some double-dealing with Nathan, and then a "I can't believe the opportunity" moment when I saw five centers open and a major stab of my Napolitan ally ensued.
(As an aside, I did get harsh in tone and words with Brutus. No major regrets, but my main point is that a game is a game, and if someone chooses to be a pompous .... well, a pompous character, when everyone else is playing the game and not playing a character, there comes a time when you begin to grate on nerves, and not enhance the enjoyability of the game. At that point, elimination is the goal. Sorry.)
Well, to be honest, Nathan specifically alerted me to how badly things were going with Turkey, and not exactly studying the entirety of the board, I leapt at the info, realizing that I could more than cripple Naples and would have to race Turkey for centers down south regardless. Strangely enough, there was no coordination between myself and Max, but we vanquished Naples nonetheless.
Was it wrong? Well, in hindsight, without a solid border north and without the proper array of forces, and a laxadaisical effort, it didn't turn out well! Also, taking the center lead with that massive gain, especially at that point of the game, and not enforcing a strategy doomed me.
I went for balance, and with the chaos builds and the impossibility of holding back builds and the lack of restrictions on it meant taking a guess. As I foolishly indicated to Garry, I was horribly out of position. (Yeah, I learnt well from what I did earlier with Naples!)
Lack of garrison changes offered no help for me. Also that sea zone spacing really caused strategy issues for me (as well as my two year misreading of adjacency) as I felt the need to see the TS zone, but overcommitted forces and yet was unable to maintain it.
The north seemed interesting enough. I sided with France early, trying to keep a balance weight against what seemed to be a Milan eager to ally with everyone. I mentioned to Nick that the concept of promising other peoples centers for alliance purposes never makes sense. I had a distrust of Milan early, and was eager to work with Venice and France to force him out.
Of course, I was in no way prepared to defend against Venice, and foolishly though I had another turn or two to deal with it.
From there, battling Turkey kept me busy, and there were way too many stabs with Mark and no way to muster the naval forces in the West. I found it odd that Venice/Turkey worked the truce in the East, but it was obviously working and forced me to the draw before I got gobbled up for good.
I will say that the earlier draw proposals were insulting, and definitely would say that a legit offer a month ago would have ended the game accordingly.
Best to all, and I look forward to gaming with you guys in the future.
And special thanks to The White Wolf for running this playtest. I know I had my memory issues, deadline misses and other assorted annoyances like most others.

| DC 293: W1905 Adjudication - billyjoebobfred1 (Feb 12, 2010, 5:57 pm) |
I did sent orders and cc'd to orders-at-diplomaticcorp.com ([email]orders-at-diplomaticcorp.com[/email]) before the deadline.
I did check the map and had a valid build order. I'm confused as to why the NBR. Is it because it came from a different address? Was it late?

Alright... so today's adjudication is an educational opportunity in the strictness of Winter Blitz rules and the it-falls-on-the-shoulders-of-the-player-even-when-the-GM-is-totally-out-of-touch interpretations. Explanations in a minute...
F1905R:
German A Kiel - Ruhr
German A Warsaw - Ukraine
W1905:
England: Remove F Berlin
France: Build waived
Germany: Remove A Ukraine
Remove F Helgoland Bight
Italy: Remove A Apulia
Russia: Build A Moscow
Build F St Petersburg(nc)
Turkey: Build A Smyrna
So, Germany submitted a retreat order but failed to include an adjustment order... and as the rules state, Fall Retreats and Winter Adjustments are adjudicated simultaneously. The Ukrainian army and Helgoland fleet were disbanded in accordance with tournament rules on NBRs. I will check with the tournament moderators to see whether this will lead to an NMR in club stats or not.
France is away from home and is using an alternate email address... or, at least he did so for Fall 1905. The problem is: I didn't realize until now that this inconvenience would extend until today. Consequently, I only emailed the Fall adjudication to his usual inbox. A gentle, kind, and loving GM would postpone the adjudication and give France a second chance. But a Winter Blitz tournament GM would note that: (a) the adjudications were posted to the DC website for all the public to behold, and (b) it is the player's responsibility to contact the GM if he has not received the adjudication. In short, the tournament does not allow for leniency, no matter how much the GM can empathize with the player. France NBRs.
S1906 is on Monday!
