NNIGTFML s01 results! - FuzzyLogic   (Sep 04, 2009, 7:39 pm)
Ready, set, go! And the llamas are off to the races! It looks like some fairly peaceful openings, only one bounce to speak of in Potosi. Unless something really wacky happens, I believe we’ll see multiple builds for everyone.

DC270: Spring 1902 Results - dipknight   (Sep 04, 2009, 6:13 pm)
GM’s remarks:
 
My thanks to all for getting your orders in on time; it makes things much more pleasant for me when I don’t have to get on someone for being late.
 
Please take some time to review your orders.  At least one of you (possibly more) will find that you have miss-ordered a unit.  Would it have made a difference? *shrug* . . . only time will tell.  I would advise getting in the habit of reviewing your orders when you get my “received” reply.

dc252 f08 results! - FuzzyLogic   (Sep 04, 2009, 5:09 pm)
Persian forces regroup this turn, while Egypt says “It’s all Greek to me”. Can the men in black pull it off? If so it’ll take at least another year as the draw is voted down, and 17 doesn’t win it. There are a few builds tho:

Carthage: Build 1
Persia: Build 1
Egypt: Remove 1

Let’s set Builds for Tuesday 9/8, 6pm Central, tho I’ll be in and out this holiday weekend so if I get all 3 sets sooner I’ll send them out.

DC 260: F1905 - AceRimmer   (Sep 04, 2009, 10:16 am)
It's Kenny Rogers day in DC 260. "You gotta know when to hold 'em..." And hold 'em you do! Siberia divides his units into 4 pairs and orders them to "Hold your partner"... but nobody attacked. And then he moves to Ekaterinburg. Persia and Japan do a lot of holding still and supporting, too. Philippines doesn't hold, and it must disband. Is this a moral?
But not all is idleness. Here is a little game I like to play called "Summary Adjudication", in which I list only units that move. So, here's the shortened version of F1905:

I: F Cel-Phi
F EIO-Sum
J: F Phi dislodged/disbanded
N: A Tib-Kun
A Del-Pak
F Pak-Bom
F Bom-BoB
P: F Egy-EAf
S: A WSb-Eka

There are no retreats, so we move straight ahead to W1905. If I get orders quickly, I can adjudicate today. If not, it will have to wait until Wednesday, when I get back from Chicago (though it could happen sooner if we decide we're too ill to travel, but you don't want all the unpleasant details).

Adjustments:

India: Supp 10 Unit 9 Build 1
Indonesia: Supp 9 Unit 8 Build 1
Japan: Supp 2 Unit 3 Remove 1
Persia: Supp 10 Unit 10 Build 0
Siberia: Supp 9 Unit 9 Build 0

Full F1905 Adjudication:

India:
A Beijing Supports A Mongolia
F Bombay - Bay of Bengal
A Delhi - Pakistan
A Hong Kong - Laos (*Bounce*)
A Mongolia Supports A Beijing
F Pakistan - Bombay
F Sri Lanka - Arabian Sea (*Fails*)
A Tien Shan Supports A Delhi - Pakistan
A Tibet - Kunlun

Indonesia:
F Celebes Sea - Philippines
F Central Indian Ocean Supports F Sri Lanka - Arabian Sea
F East China Sea Supports F Shanghai (*Cut*)
F Eastern Indian Ocean - Sumatra
F South China Sea Supports F Celebes Sea - Philippines
F Seychelles Supports F Central Indian Ocean
F Shanghai Supports F East China Sea
A Vietnam - Laos (*Bounce*)

Japan:
F Hokkaido Supports F Honshu
F Honshu Supports F Hokkaido
F Philippines - East China Sea (*Disbanded*)
F Yellow Sea Supports F Honshu

Persia:
A Afghanistan Supports A Uzbekistan
F Arabian Sea Supports A Iran - Pakistan (*Cut*)
F Caspian Sea Supports A Moscow
F Egypt - East Africa
A Iran - Pakistan (*Fails*)
A Livonia Supports A Moscow
A Moscow Hold
F Oman Supports F Arabian Sea
F Persian Gulf Supports F Arabian Sea

A Korea Supports A Manchuria
A Manchuria Supports A Korea
A Novosibirsk Supports A Kazakhstan
F Sea of Okhotsk Hold
A St. Petersburg Supports A Urals

Okay, here we go. There are some interesting developments. Germany gains an Italian center, but generously? donates his build to the British. In fact England did quite well this turn, and has three builds due. The only other adjustment is for Italy, who must remove one.

Adjustments are due on Monday, September 7, 17:00 MDT. Remember that if I get orders from both parties that are clearly marked as final orders, I can adjudicate early.

DC-224 Slaughter Of Work-Time - Spring 10 - Roarin... - former.trout   (Sep 04, 2009, 12:03 am)
Heya folks,

Owing to the lateness of the adjudication, I'll keep this short and sweet.  Please review the results and let me know if you spot any errors.  (I'm pretty sure there aren't any - but I haven't exactly been rocking a perfect 10 so far, if you know what I mean...)

And whatever happens, consider the following...  No matter how bad it gets - at least you are not the Dwarven army in Krikkit...  Well, except for Matt, who now has to negotiate through some potentially very hostile scenery...  Yikes.

Three retreats are needed - one each from the Archers, Trolls and Rogues.  Deadline for Summer 10 will be set for Sunday, September 6th (11:59 PM GMT).  If all 3 come in early, I can try to get it out tomorrow night.  However Saturday is a write-off for me as I'll be at an all-day rock concert with someone who is cuter than you guys are.  (At least, that's what she tells me...)

Cheers for now, all!

DC242: Winter 1911

I must apologize for the massive delay. A rather intense stretch of
work plus some bloody huge wildfires just north of town conspired to
take Diplomacy right off my mind.

France:
A Brest - Paris

The deadline for Spring 1911 was originally set for about an hour from
now. That's not realistic...

Let's take another two days. Sunday, September 6, 2009 at 05:00GMT.

One again, please accept my apologies for the delay.

DC271 Cimarra - S01 Delay...Bad Portent of Things... - garry.bledsoe   (Sep 03, 2009, 9:13 pm)
UGHHHHHH. Okay. Lesson learned. I should have FORCED preliminaries before continuing. When will I learn? I thought that since everyone was sooo diligent with confirmations that preliminaries was a formality. Alas it may not be.

We are missing one set of orders. Officially that player has 24 hours to get me orders or the position goes out to recruiting. That player knows who they are [I have sent them multiple reminders which is very out of character for me].

If we do not have them by this time tomorrow night, I will be forced to recruit a new player. I normally would just NMR them but since it is a gamestart and all...

By the way, this is covered in the attached House Rules. Sorry for not having sent them before...now they seem quite important.

Sorry all. Hopefully just a minor blip and we begin!

We have a player [Darryl] who will be out of town with limited email access [today through the 28th] so we are going to have a bit longer period until our first deadline. Let's set the deadline for Spring 1901 at Thursday Sept 3rd at 6pm CST.


I encourage provisionals so feel free to send them in ahead of time. I will always confirm orders so if for some reason you do not get a confirmation, check with me. It is probably good to also be in the habit of sending a copy to orders(at)diplomaticcorp.com just to be covered.


Attached is our file for the game and a map. The .dpy file is the Real Politik file if you want to play with it.


That should cover us. Please feel free to send in any questions.

In light of what just happened, and as a genuine idealist, I wish to suggest that we put all hatred aside and perhaps thing of establishing a supra-sovereign institution in order to bring peace to Italy.
Who's with me?

Willie,
Our moment of greatest unease has now passed. We thank you for upholding your word to us. We
are dispatching the main thrust of our navies to the Mediterranean, where we believe we still
possess potential for a breakthrough.
The Turk has overextended into Italy. We believe he cannot maintain both Vienna and Venice. It
is only a matter of time and strategem. And once the first city falls, all the others will
follow..
With Appreciation and Friendship,
Bertie

DCI 9: Las Vegas Odds to Win - garry.bledsoe   (Sep 03, 2009, 4:56 pm)
Everyone should remember this...English as a nation [especially in games like say Diplomacy, futbol, etc] tends to choke when labeled as a favorite. Here's to me living up to that potential.

Ok I possibly have some Portuguese/Brazilian blood, but I'm damned if I've ever mentioned in DCI. Just who/where have you bugged?


Pity my speciality is fast play not crowded, and this won't be a sprint, so my odds are way overstated - and Jorge at 12:1 - you have got to be kidding. Spot on with Dan though.


Nice (and not at all Nefarious) Nigel

Subject: DCI 9: Las Vegas Odds to Win

AP Las Vegas:

Just posted are the odds to win the famous DCI 9 Diplomacy Invitational, a gathering of world-renowned gamers on one of the games biggest stages. The competition will be held over the next several months and will be watched by at least dozens of rabid (and probably slightly bored) net followers.

Austria: 3:1 - Until dethroned, Dan is the champ. To be the champ, you've got to beat the champ. Dan's odds would probably even be better if he had not drawn the typically difficult starting position of Austria. Even with that though, Dan's abilities (see Tiger Woods) are so dominating that odds makers still see him as the prohibitive favorite.

Russia: 7:2 - Nobody in the game has been hotter than Nefarious Nigel (see Brazil futbol), and he's drawn Russia as a base. Game experts are all wishing they could be flies on the wall when Dan and Nigel eventually start butting heads.

England: 9:2 - Far away from the favorites, 2009 WB Champion Garry is probably giggling about his projected path to victory (see Dr. Evil). "Get middle countries to fight, check. Get France and Spain on different sides of the fence, check. Hope everybody ignores my slow and steady growth, mate."

Balkans and Germany: 6:1 - Hey! They're moderator picks (see Ryder Cup Golf). They're here for a reason. Give Drew or Max a little breathing room, and you'll wish you were in England or Spain, where you can scream from a distance for those closer to fall on their swords for your behalf.

Spain and Turkey: 9:1 - Matt and Adam have top notch resumes, and they are both starting in the potentially awesome starting corner positions of Spain and Turkey. If either get an alliance from the outset with a neighbor and get rolling, look out (see the University of Florida and Oklahoma football teams). If they get stonewalled by their neighbors, it could be a long game at three centers.

Lowlands: 10:1 - So Frank plays one game in the past two years and wins. Is this an aberration, or is this guy so good that he can dust off his diplomacy hat and produce an epic win over an elite field (see Bobby Fischer). Time will tell, but from his past exploits, it certainly won't be boring.

France and Norway: 12:1 - France is typically a great starting position in standard diplomacy, but when you throw a player to your south, the position becomes much more difficult (see Belgium in conflicts of the 1900s). And Norway, sandwiched between Russia and England, can be a nightmare if the player doesn't get off to a good start (see Belgium in conflicts of the 1900s). Both countries offer a great location if they can get rolling, but both face potentially daunting opposition at the outset. Jorge and Joe will need to be very active on the diplomatic front early.

Italy: 15:1 - Mikael is an incredible player, but this is Italy we're talking about (see Italy in 99.9% of diplomacy games). Under the best of conditions, Italy sometimes has a hard time grabbing more than Tunis, and in this variant, there's already a Spanish fleet there. Mikael will need to work his miracles (see anything done by Michelangelo) to see Italy grow into a monster.

Hope you all enjoyed this. Please let it be known that this is all off the cuff, and all slights/exaggerations were not (wholly) intentional. haha

I better get back to work now. : )

Ok I possibly have some Portuguese/Brazilian blood, but I'm damned if I've ever mentioned in DCI. Just who/where have you bugged?


Pity my speciality is fast play not crowded, and this won't be a sprint, so my odds are way overstated - and Jorge at 12:1 - you have got to be kidding. Spot on with Dan though.


Nice (and not at all Nefarious) Nigel

Subject: DCI 9: Las Vegas Odds to Win

AP Las Vegas:

Just posted are the odds to win the famous DCI 9 Diplomacy Invitational, a gathering of world-renowned gamers on one of the games biggest stages. The competition will be held over the next several months and will be watched by at least dozens of rabid (and probably slightly bored) net followers.

Austria: 3:1 - Until dethroned, Dan is the champ. To be the champ, you've got to beat the champ. Dan's odds would probably even be better if he had not drawn the typically difficult starting position of Austria. Even with that though, Dan's abilities (see Tiger Woods) are so dominating that odds makers still see him as the prohibitive favorite.

Russia: 7:2 - Nobody in the game has been hotter than Nefarious Nigel (see Brazil futbol), and he's drawn Russia as a base. Game experts are all wishing they could be flies on the wall when Dan and Nigel eventually start butting heads.

England: 9:2 - Far away from the favorites, 2009 WB Champion Garry is probably giggling about his projected path to victory (see Dr. Evil). "Get middle countries to fight, check. Get France and Spain on different sides of the fence, check. Hope everybody ignores my slow and steady growth, mate."

Balkans and Germany: 6:1 - Hey! They're moderator picks (see Ryder Cup Golf). They're here for a reason. Give Drew or Max a little breathing room, and you'll wish you were in England or Spain, where you can scream from a distance for those closer to fall on their swords for your behalf.

Spain and Turkey: 9:1 - Matt and Adam have top notch resumes, and they are both starting in the potentially awesome starting corner positions of Spain and Turkey. If either get an alliance from the outset with a neighbor and get rolling, look out (see the University of Florida and Oklahoma football teams). If they get stonewalled by their neighbors, it could be a long game at three centers.

Lowlands: 10:1 - So Frank plays one game in the past two years and wins. Is this an aberration, or is this guy so good that he can dust off his diplomacy hat and produce an epic win over an elite field (see Bobby Fischer). Time will tell, but from his past exploits, it certainly won't be boring.

France and Norway: 12:1 - France is typically a great starting position in standard diplomacy, but when you throw a player to your south, the position becomes much more difficult (see Belgium in conflicts of the 1900s). And Norway, sandwiched between Russia and England, can be a nightmare if the player doesn't get off to a good start (see Belgium in conflicts of the 1900s). Both countries offer a great location if they can get rolling, but both face potentially daunting opposition at the outset. Jorge and Joe will need to be very active on the diplomatic front early.

Italy: 15:1 - Mikael is an incredible player, but this is Italy we're talking about (see Italy in 99.9% of diplomacy games). Under the best of conditions, Italy sometimes has a hard time grabbing more than Tunis, and in this variant, there's already a Spanish fleet there. Mikael will need to work his miracles (see anything done by Michelangelo) to see Italy grow into a monster.

Hope you all enjoyed this. Please let it be known that this is all off the cuff, and all slights/exaggerations were not (wholly) intentional. haha

I better get back to work now. : )

Okay, here we go. There are some interesting developments. Germany gains

an Italian center, but generously? donates his build to the British. In fact
England did quite well this turn, and has three builds due. The only other
adjustment is for Italy, who must remove one.


Adjustments are due on Monday, September 7, 17:00 MDT. Remember that if I

get orders from both parties that are clearly marked as final orders, I can
adjudicate early.

Just

of world-renowned gamers on one of the games biggest stages. The competition
will be held over the next several months and will be watched by at least
dozens of rabid (and probably slightly bored) net followers.

here for a reason. Give Drew or Max a little breathing room, and you'll wish
you were in England or Spain, where you can scream from a distance for those
closer to fall on their swords for your behalf.

both starting in the potentially awesome starting corner positions of
Spain and Turkey. If either get an alliance from the outset with a neighbor and
get rolling, look out (see the University of Florida and Oklahoma football
teams). If they get stonewalled by their neighbors, it could be a long game at

diplomacy, but when you throw a player to your south, the position becomes much
more difficult (see Belgium in conflicts of the 1900s). And Norway, sandwiched
between Russia and England, can be a nightmare if the player doesn't get off to
a good start (see Belgium in conflicts of the 1900s). Both countries offer a
great location if they can get rolling, but both face potentially daunting
opposition at the outset. Jorge and Joe will need to be very active on the
diplomatic front early.


 


Italy:
15:1 - Mikael is an incredible player, but this is Italy we're talking about
(see Italy in 99.9% of diplomacy games). Under the best of conditions, Italy
sometimes has a hard time grabbing more than Tunis, and in this variant,
there's already a Spanish fleet there. Mikael will need to work his miracles
(see anything done by Michelangelo) to see Italy grow into a monster.


 


Hope
you all enjoyed this. Please let it be known that this is all off the cuff, and
all slights/exaggerations were not (wholly) intentional. haha


 


I
better get back to work now.  : )

Haha…..Michael, note that I also lumped
France and Norway together at 12:1, stating that both countries offer a great
location if they can get rolling (check) and that Jorge and Joe will need to be
very active on the diplomatic front early (check).
 
Course, some of my predictions went
horribly wrong too, so I guess a career as an odds-maker is not in my future.
 
Cheers!
Frank

Turkey:  9:1

Creepy.

AP Las Vegas:


 


Just posted are the odds to win the famous DCI 9 Diplomacy
Invitational, a gathering of world-renowned gamers on one of the games biggest
stages. The competition will be held over the next several months and will be
watched by at least dozens of rabid (and probably slightly bored) net
followers.


 


Austria: 3:1 -
Until dethroned, Dan is the champ. To be the champ, you've got to beat the
champ. Dan's odds would probably even be better if he had not drawn the
typically difficult starting position of Austria. Even with that though,
Dan's abilities (see Tiger Woods) are so dominating that odds makers still see
him as the prohibitive favorite.


 


Russia: 7:2 -
Nobody in the game has been hotter than Nefarious Nigel (see Brazil futbol), and he's drawn Russia as a
base. Game experts are all wishing they could be flies on the wall when Dan and
Nigel eventually start butting heads.


 


England: 9:2 - Far
away from the favorites, 2009 WB Champion Garry is probably giggling about his
projected path to victory (see Dr. Evil). "Get middle countries to fight,
check. Get France and Spain on
different sides of the fence, check. Hope everybody ignores my slow and steady
growth, mate."


 


Balkans and Germany:
6:1 - Hey! They're moderator picks (see Ryder Cup Golf). They're here for a reason.
Give Drew or Max a little breathing room, and you'll wish you were in England or Spain, where you can scream from a
distance for those closer to fall on their swords for your behalf.


 


Spain and Turkey: 9:1 - Matt and Adam
have top notch resumes, and they are both starting in the potentially
awesome starting corner positions of Spain
and Turkey.
If either get an alliance from the outset with a neighbor and get rolling, look
out (see the University of Florida and Oklahoma
football teams). If they get stonewalled by their neighbors, it could be a long
game at three centers.


 



Lowlands: 10:1 - So
Frank plays one game in the past two years and wins. Is this an aberration, or
is this guy so good that he can dust off his diplomacy hat and produce an epic
win over an elite field (see Bobby Fischer). Time will tell, but from his past
exploits, it certainly won't be boring.


 


France and Norway: 12:1 - France
is typically a great starting position in standard diplomacy, but when you
throw a player to your south, the position becomes much more difficult (see Belgium in
conflicts of the 1900s). And Norway,
sandwiched between Russia
and England, can be a
nightmare if the player doesn't get off to a good start (see Belgium in
conflicts of the 1900s). Both countries offer a great location if they can get
rolling, but both face potentially daunting opposition at the outset. Jorge and
Joe will need to be very active on the diplomatic front early.


 


Italy: 15:1 -
Mikael is an incredible player, but this is Italy
we're talking about (see Italy
in 99.9% of diplomacy games). Under the best of conditions, Italy sometimes has a hard time grabbing more
than Tunis,
and in this variant, there's already a Spanish fleet there. Mikael will need to

a monster.
