DC 262: Angstskrik - GAME OVER - Fall 833 - 4-way... - ndeily   (Dec 19, 2009, 8:21 am)
That'd be interesting indeed, and it would give a reason for the Irish player to say "the craic was 90 in the Isle of Man" at least a few times.

Nathan,

just a brief comment before I'm out through the door - I wondered about adding the Isle of Man with a dot on it, bordering both seas

Thanks to B for a smooth game, and to all for the high level of play.

Ireland's lot is a bit harder than many others on the board, given the need to break out and step on others' toes pretty much from the beginning. With Nigs openly hostile from the first turn my fate was a very slow and laborious go of it to keep him at bay and let the Bretons and Anglo-Saxons settle their own affairs.

Both times that I've played the variant I have tried to convince Ireland and Scotland to ally, and it never seems to happen. A little trust could lead to a very powerful set of opening moves and a strong alliance that could last all the way to the end in my opinion. Oh well.

Thanks to Matt for being a stable and reliable ally in the early years - we needed peace from each other more than anything else. Selling you down the river was unfortunate, but necessary once it was clear the Danes were looking at a sweep.

Nick saw the big picture early on and played accordingly, for which I am also grateful.

I was shocked at how quickly the Norse/Swede/Dane situation developed. Masterfully played, Gregory. I'm glad we were able to hold our alliance long enough for force a draw.

No key strategic insights here, other than that I still think Ireland needs a way to get going faster. I'll keep advocating (probably alone) for a single sea space between Ireland and Britain proper, rather than the Gas/Cab split. This I think gives Ireland the clout to negotiate better as well as project enough power to make it a legitimate player on land sooner.

It was tempting to stab my allies, but not enough to throw the game to the Danes.

I might be interested in the Balkans game, but I'd really like another Sengoku. Also, one of these days I need to learn how to GM, so maybe that's an agenda item as well.

Nathan

Honored Kings of the Dark Ages:

All is at peace, the angry hordes are angry no more. Despite a truly
valiant effort, Gregory's Danes were stopped short of the solo by 2
SCs. All players have agreed to the DIAS, and so DC 262 draws to a
close. I will be updating the DiplomaticCorp website immediately with
the final results, and Mike is CC'ed on this email, so I believe that
triggers everything that needs to happen on their end? (Not sure,
this is the first game on DC I have GM'ed. Do I need to do anything
else to post my GM credits?) At any rate, the maps and SC chart and
other such fun tools are all updated on the DC262 game page, so please
enjoy them.

For those that enjoyed Dark Ages and might like to try their hand at
another one of my variants, there will be a new game starting early in
January of Balkans1860. I have created a DipWiki entry for this
variant, and will be publishing the Realpolitik files soon. Please
read at your leisure, and if interested in playing, let me know.

My thanks to all of the players, this was a very smooth and enjoyable
game to GM. I eagerly look forward to seeing your EOGs, those are
always fun to read.

See you all again soon!

Subject: DC 262: Angstskrik - GAME OVER - Fall 833 - 4-way draw

Honored Kings of the Dark Ages:

All is at peace, the angry hordes are angry no more. Despite a truly
valiant effort, Gregory's Danes were stopped short of the solo by 2
SCs. All players have agreed to the DIAS, and so DC 262 draws to a
close. I will be updating the DiplomaticCorp website immediately with
the final results, and Mike is CC'ed on this email, so I believe that
triggers everything that needs to happen on their end? (Not sure,
this is the first game on DC I have GM'ed. Do I need to do anything
else to post my GM credits?) At any rate, the maps and SC chart and
other such fun tools are all updated on the DC262 game page, so please
enjoy them.

For those that enjoyed Dark Ages and might like to try their hand at
another one of my variants, there will be a new game starting early in
January of Balkans1860. I have created a DipWiki entry for this
variant, and will be publishing the Realpolitik files soon. Please
read at your leisure, and if interested in playing, let me know.

My thanks to all of the players, this was a very smooth and enjoyable
game to GM. I eagerly look forward to seeing your EOGs, those are
always fun to read.

See you all again soon!

B.

else to post my GM credits?) At any rate, the maps and SC chart and
other such fun tools are all updated on the DC262 game page, so please
enjoy them.

For those that enjoyed Dark Ages and might like to try their hand at
another one of my variants, there will be a new game starting early in
January of Balkans1860. I have created a DipWiki entry for this
variant, and will be publishing the Realpolitik files soon. Please
read at your leisure, and if interested in playing, let me know.

My thanks to all of the players, this was a very smooth and enjoyable
game to GM. I eagerly look forward to seeing your EOGs, those are
always fun to read.

See you all again soon!

B.

DC 282, Deadline tomorrow - alwayshunted   (Dec 17, 2009, 11:37 pm)
Hey folks,

Deadline is tomorrow night, in about 18.5 hours. I think I have a set of orders from everyone, sorry I've been bad at confirming this turn. You've got until then to change anything, and I might be couple or few hours late tomorrow because I will be on the road. Sorry for those of you that have to get some sleep so will have to wait even longer..... I never have deadlines on weekends, so any retreats won't be due until Monday.

Warren

1926 091119: Fall 1927 Moves - charlesf   (Dec 17, 2009, 7:18 pm)
Grüß Gott!

It's been a rough fall for the Président as news of one defeat piled upon another. The very opposite is true for Kemal and Pilsudski, who both scored handsome gains. As for the Reds, their power base has now entirely shifted to Scandinavia as they received massive aid from MacDonald's Labour government.

Winter Retreats/Adjustments orders are due no later than 15 December 6 PM CET. Thereafter, I've scheduled a two-week break, with preliminary orders being due for Spring 1928 on 29 December.

Liebe Grüsse,

Charles

DC 262: Angstskrik - Spring 833 Results - Kenshi777   (Dec 17, 2009, 4:33 pm)
Honored Kings of the Dark Ages:

Welcome back to the Dark Ages - we have had our first static season in
some time, where no SCs changed hands. That leads into a question I
was asked: what happens if the game is stalemated but the players
refuse to agree to a draw? I must confess this is a deficiency of my
GM house rules, one that is not directly addressed, except by the
catch all clause I include at the end:

"Catch All - Any topics not covered in this document should be raised
with the GM prior to the start of the game. All topics pertaining to
game play not covered in this document will rest in the sole
discretion of the GM, or be resolved by player vote."

So in this case, my knee-jerk impulse would be to say that if it is
conclusively proven to me that no forward progress can be made, I
would determine that the game is drawn, over the votes of a player if
needs be.

This game has not been proven to be drawn however. As you will see in
the results, there were SCs that could have changed hands this season
(both ways - to the Danes, and from them) - though neither of those
situations occurred. So for now we continue.

A new DIAS draw proposal has been submitted. Please include your
votes with your Fall 833 order set.

No retreats needed, so we move straight to the next deadline for Fall
833, which will be after the Christmas holiday, on Tuesday, December
29th at 1700 EST. If four affirmative draw votes are received prior
to that time, I will announce the results immediately.

DC-272 Deadline Imminent - TheWhiteWolf   (Dec 16, 2009, 8:08 pm)
Guys,
This is getting really old. The deadline for fall is in less than 21 hours, and I have ONE set of orders submitted. I know you guys are all more reliable and timely than this. Is the negotiation really that intense, or is this variant just that dull?
I'm tempted to NMR everyone who doesn't get their orders in on time (which would probably be devastating to the play test), but I'm going to push the deadline back to Friday, 18 December to give you all a shot to submit. Please don't miss this one.

As I do periodically, I seem to have forgotten the maps.
