Sorry about the accidental early click - here's the full adjudication and files.
The new alliance of Norse and Danes push deep within Swedish territory, and already are repositioning their forces west to begin their next invasions. The Gaels are outguessed in Munster and Leinster unfortunately, though all hope is not lost to stay even.
I am having a problem with RP. I encountered a bug in my Dark Ages coding for V3 where ECH and COR were not adjacent. Even after correcting this however, I cannot get RP to adjudicate F AtO S F ECh - Cor, F ECh - Cor as a valid move. Working through this. I have had to manually force the adjudication with Edit Map until this can be resolved. Be advised of this bug.
The Swedes have one retreat - A Gotar can retreat to Svear or OTB.
Mark - please broadcast that move to the list as soon as possible so we can proceed please.
The next deadline will be Fall 827, due Thursday 20 AUG 09, at 1700 EST.

| DC270: Fall 1901 Deadline Reminder - dipknight (Aug 13, 2009, 5:47 pm) |
All,
Just a little more than 24 hours to the deadline. I have oders from only three of you.
If at all posible, I would like to provide the results in a timely fashion before Dan leaves for his vacation. Hopefully, this will give Dan an opportunity to povide us with his build orders before he leaves. If not, we will be stuck on what is normally a realatively short season while Dan is away. Please provide me with your orders as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Darryl (GM)[Reply] |

Hallo zusammen!
I only received a Spanish retreat order after I had begun adjucating, i.e. too late. Make sure you get your orders in on time!
I don't want that to happen in future. So I'm from now on going to have Retreats/Adjustments deadlines generally 48 hours after the previous moves deadline. I hope that works for all players. If not, I shall stick to the 24 hour policy.
On a happier note, Dirk has volunteered as our Chief Map-making Officer while I am travelling. Kudos to him for doing us all such a service.
Liebe Grüsse,
Charles

| 243 EOG from AGWOPA - agwopa (Aug 13, 2009, 3:41 pm) |
Thanks, Thanks, Thanks.
Thank you all for playing, Even the ones we lost along the way.
About the game first... Turn one and the first few years. The few games I played before here at dip corp and trying to remember how it went some 25 years ago when I played regular, I am reminded of the safe way many games start, bounces in Gal and the Channel, Russia and a lone fleet hoping to pick up Sweden but first turn I am smiling for E and F both move away from the Channel and Galicia stayed empty with Moscow north and Italy to Piedmont and Tuscany my interest was peaked. But the great thing about Diplomacy anything can happen and Italy just faked left and not only changed direction but the direction of the game, that start forced France to protect Mars while Germany doubled back to Munich, and Austria who was gong to build two had to be thinking life was good before the Italian right turn now was stuck... and went from 5 to 2 to out. The NMR from England then the departure saddened this GM for GM's will most likely worry if there was something else we could do to prevent that but it seems to happen in so many games, that like in real life, when Russia went into Civil war a player leaving is just an unfortunate part of the game even if we do not like it. Still as a new GM I learned and learned a second time that life is not perfect but thanks for making this a real GM experience. Which leads to thanks for the late comers for filling in so well and I have joined late to some games myself it is a different experience and usually a hopeless situation like England was but he did a great job of trying to make the best of a bad situation and Germany... part of a 3 way win... what else can you say but well done. So thanks for the, and, to the, fill ins.
But back to the game (remember I have know idea who is talking to who and what is being said ) Now Austria soon to be gone and a Russia at 8 centers and I watch Turkey build a Fleet and an Army so I am wondering what direction is Turkey's next move? And it seems he is protecting against both Italy and Russia which is safe than the moved to Armenia and that sends a message and at the same time France lands on the Isle and Italy times another move to Piedmont which poor France must be saying "what? not again?" . The new England has new life (for the moment) as France retreats and Germany helps him into Norway. But in hind sight England has no choice but to go to Wales vs. France but if he had known France was leaving he could have protected Edi which falls to Russia and that seems to be the straw to break the English Isle back. France and combine that with the Germans soon exit and bummer England may have had a better chance. If he could have known?!?!
This is where I felt Turkey (I am looking back and have no idea what the diplomatic deals are saying) builds 2 fleets and may have tipped his hand too soon. Armies and maybe Italy continues to Iberia, but fleets leave Turkey with no where to go but at Italy and Italy promptly moved back to the right yet again by going to Ionian Sea. I have now watched some cool twist and turns and it is still just 05. Italy now seems to have to protect against France and seems to solve that problem by helping Germany to Mars and that if I may set up two thirds of the final out come. Russia weak and separated, Scandinavia in the German hands there is nobody to stop Germany but Germany. This set in motion the final third of the 3 way Draw. 2 Turkish fleet builds is all it took. I thank all for that is just my take that one turn even a Build turn can change the face of the game. If Turkey Builds 2 armies Germany would have to decide if he can swallow Russia and England and meet Italy in France or,,,,, split or give England to Russia to set the coming war on the eastern side of Switzerland vs Turkey? The power of no personal gain or stake in the game gives a different perspective and if you like that kind of stuff, GMing is a neat way to see a game.
My first try at GM by e-mail was a fun, frustrating, educational experience and this was made possible only because of all of you.
Now as I started this event I found my lack of simple computer skills was and is an embarrassing handy cap. Yea you can laugh but I did not know the difference between a bit. map. jpeg. or a gif. or how or what to do about that. So I self taught my way through it along the way. Laugh some more for I was pleased and proud when I figured out how to create folders to store the games in. So when I accidentally noticed how to search mail to easily see if I had an order from someone, I nearly danced that happy dance!! Than feeling full of my sot self, I bit off allot when I started a blind game and game 258 which made me go from one adjudication to what amounted to 9 adjudications and then my play time was cut into and I felt that I was not only letting me down, and you, but this silly game that I was told along time ago by a reliable source that was played by the likes of Henry Kissinger and Walter Cronkite. So if any of you all (and some have said some very nice things and I thank you all for those) ever see me run a game again feel welcome to join. The saddest part of all for me truly was the end... hear me out for a sec... I finally felt that I was getting into a good routine getting 24 hrs out and made my play time more flexible and boom 2 - 3 weeks of going pretty good and Turkey say yes to the 3 way... I was rooting for someone to throw in with Turkey just so I could see if I could keep it together ;-} yes my selfishness was shining through. Looking back this was the best and fitting out come but you all hanging in there while I got my learning curve down and still saying nice things also shows that you all, the players, show class and style it can be the way the "Game" should be played, all that nice stuff and backstabbing TOO!! who thought of this?

GM Notes:
I will be gone next week, my son will adjudicate the turn in my absence. You don't need to do anything different than usual. The only difference is that he will not post the results at DC.
Given that lateness of this adjudication I am setting the deadline for next Wednesday. I do not have any more extension requests until Sept so hopefully we will be able to get into a smooth schedule for awhile.

Any semi-brave GM willing to step up and run a game of SAS here in DC? I say semi-brave since it's RP coded, so all the heavy lifting is done for you... (see the South American Supremacy DipWiki)
Fairly standard variant - the only really special rules are the impassable Andes mountains, and the navigable rivers, which are suitable to the time period - one of the few settings outside of the Crimean and American Civil War that saw naval action between true ironclads...
Interested? Send an email to screwtape777 AT gmail DOT com, or just download the files from the DipWiki and take charge... I would run one myself, but I'm over-Dip-committed as it is.

| Dunno. Your avatar is screwed up. What is the file? Try emailing it to me so I can make sure it's a normal graphic file, no errors. Then are you trying to upload it or link via URL? Either one should work. I checked out your profile and I just see the red X image, so that would indicate a broken link to a URL. Try uploading it instead. If uploading doesnt work, let me know. |

Re: my avatar. I had been trying to upload it. Never got that to work. Couldn't use the second option either (link to copy). Finally got the third option, link to offsite URL, to work for me - hence my glorious tribute to Watterson that now graces the DC boards.
That aside - where are my last three brave souls that are ready to enter the age of ironclads (yes, they *were* used outside of the U.S.) and seize power in South America? The borders of South America as we know it today were anything but certain in the 19th century - when Paraguay held the largest standing army, Bolivia still held the Pacific Coast, and Chile dreamed of dominating both Peru and Bolivia...so sign up already, and grab the reins of an ambitious young post-colonial nation for yourself...

Well, there's more position swapping of the re-occupying kind: England re-takes Silesia; Russia re-takes Warsaw; and Moscow... remains unoccupied. So, in total, the English position is slightly weaker now than it was one year ago, in that Moscow is now vacant... but it's stronger in that reserve troops have arrived in Kiel and StP.
Oh, and Benjy is dead. Joe can stop stabbing his voodoo doll (or he can keep stabbing it... 'tsall a matter of taste).
There is one retreat, taken without choice:
English Army Warsaw retreats to Prussia.
That leaves us with just the adjustments. There is one build untaken from last year and another taken from the Italians:
England and Turkey both have builds due tomorrow!

| DC 243 Italy EOG - ignite107 (Aug 12, 2009, 10:00 pm) |
I seem to have taken a lot of flak regarding some of the decisions I made but in the end, I was on the winning end of the draw - so can they be all bad?
Like Russia this was my first time playing and my end goal for this game was a survival. Anything to avoid elimination. Nothing seemed to go my way with a lot of negotiations happening and then players going NMR at crucial times. It left me trying to gain what few SCs I could to mount some kind of force.
Germany 1: The alliance we made from turn 1 held through til EOG even with the switching of persons. I had to trust someone in the game and while you played there was really no reason not to trust you, nor any reason for me to fight a war against you.
Germany 2: Well the alliance held but as England so boldly pointed out, a solo was a very viable option. There was however nothing I could do to stop it. Spain was yours the moment you wanted it and there would be nothing I could do even if I had an army there. You had placed yourself in a position where if you wanted a solo there was nothing I could do to stop it, even if I tried, and I'd have to rely on Russia to prevent you from doing so. By late game the only option I had for winning was the G I R draw you offered. At which point, I had little choice but to put all the pressure on Turkey to get him to fold so that would happen.
Austria: I had to attack someone, it just so happened that everyone else decided to go after you as well. I felt a little like a vulture looking for scraps.
Turkey: Good job, you held out as long as you could. It was tempting to ally at the end and you made a rather convincing argument regarding a German solo. But the way I saw it I had two options... a German solo with an Italian survival. Or if I went against Germany, it would be an Italian elimination with two strong forces (Germany/Turkey) taking me out fairly quick. I had to trust someone and Germany simply had more cards to control. I don't recall the year but our alliance was out the door when we both built a bunch of fleets that one winter.
Russia: Yeap, good communication throughout. Right from the get go we set out to keep our lines of communication open. I don't think our armies even saw each on the field until the final year.
France: With Russia and Turkey fighting and Germany wanting to finish off England.. both Germany and England wanted to lend a hand for me to get onto French soil. I couldn't really refuse, it was really the only tactical choice I had. Man playing Italy can be tough.
England 1: Tough game, an early NMR hurt from the get go.
England 2: Yeah you were pretty much hooped from the get go. I wanted to help but there were two strong nations between us fledgling ones. I did what I could to hang onto a survival and in the end came out on top with a draw win. Sorry the same did not go for you.
It was fun, it was my first game, and there's definitely more than a few things I'd do different - but nobody remembers the final score only those who came out on top. Cheers to all.

| DC 243: Replacement England EoG - AlanRFarrington (Aug 12, 2009, 6:36 pm) |
Thank you all for having me in this game.
By the time I joined there wasn't much sunlight left for the Queen. I got a build though and I was able to hold off the French and the Germans for sometime. I was just trying to pick up one center and get on a roll when I went for Norway. Germany told me he had my back but apparently he had other ideas.
By the time I did get into Norway it was just a trade for Edinburg, and Germany turned around to slit my throat. I slowly fell to Russia while Nick ignored Germany's growing power.
The game could have ended very differently. With Nick and Italy ignoring German power the way they were the game could have relatively easily gone to a solo for Michael. At the end of the game he had 13 centers, with another easy 3 sitting for him in England, and Spain would have fallen faster than a drunkard at 3 int he morning. That puts him at 17, and I truly can't imagine another would have been very hard for Michael to pick up.
Whether it was great diplomacy on Germany's part or poor diplomacy on Russia and Italy's part it all added up to one thing for me: a long and painful elimination.
I enjoyed playing with all of you and would like to do it again. Drew you were a terrific GM and I hope to play either with you or for you again.
Thanks all,
Her Majesty the Queen,
Alan Farrington

| DC 243 Russia EOG - nicknetscher (Aug 12, 2009, 5:53 pm) |
Thanks guys for the great game!
As my first online game of diplomacy I sure learned alot about how to and how not to play the game! The game took a heap of twists and turns with a couple of players dropping out and major alliances rising and crumbling throughout. I guess Italy, Germany and I just formed an alliance out of convenience of common enemies and because it stuck we were able to close out for a three-way draw.
From my perspective this is how the game went:
At the start everyone was pretty chatty and straight away I struck up an alliance with Germany 1 and Turkey whether or not these were secret or not I don't know. My main aims were to help Germany 1 take out England 1 and help Turkey take out Austria (I guess both of you were the least vocal and the England 1 NMR didn't help). If I learned anything here I guess, my long term plans weren't too solid, particularly as I had never really played passed 1905 before. So after Austria was cleaned up, we didn't really know what to do next.. Italy was getting in the way but Turkey and I could never really set up the next few moves properly.
Having two major fronts early in the game allowed me to make major gains and I got my SC count up to 9. This maybe alerted the rest of the field that I was expanding too quickly and coupled with the fact that both Turkey and I were offline for nearly a week and started to mistrust eachother lined me up for a couple of major stabs. Germany 1 and Turkey turned on me and after putting up a fight for a turn or so I decided to retreat and defend a much smaller territory of about 3-4 SC's. The relationship between Turkey and me never really got repaired over time..
I think my saving grace was when Germany 1 dropped out and the fact that he had started a war with myself, left him open to France advancing on the lowlands and possibly German soil. Germany 2 and I realised we had our own problems and I guess left eachother alone for a while to deal with our own issues. The move on England 1/2 eventually worked out except definitely not the way I wanted(!) - having Germany 2 in Scandanavia and me in England made things a little uncomfortable. By this stage of the game our common alliances with Germany allowed Italy and I to open communication channels and start to work together on Turkish SC's.
As I said, I learned alot about different strategies and ways to play the game and overall am pretty happy with the experience I had.
Notes to those still in the game at the end
- Germany 2: You coming into the game certainly changed things up.. taking a pretty different tact to Germany 1. As you said, the retreat to Gascony was a lucky break you took full advantage of and really helped turn the war between France and Germany. Thank you for not going for the glory and staying true to the alliance - I was aware and very worried that you could have taken the solo pretty much at any of the last two or three autumns. Well done and great strategising for a replacement player!
- Italy: We never really had a strong allliance until the last year or so. Not really close enough to help eachother, we still did well to stuff eachother up a couple of times! The Italy/Russia relationship is an interesting one in Diplomacy.. Anyway - great game and you certainly provided some entertainment along the way!
- Turkey: We had a powerful alliance at the start and after trying to repair it after your first stab only to be stabbed again was really the last I could trust you in the game. Looking back, I don't really know what went wrong - if we stayed strong we could have taken the game as a 2-way draw I think. We had good chats about the game and different strategies and you certainly put up a great fight. I look forward to playing against (or hopefully with) you again.
Thanks again guys!
Cheers,
Nick

Honored Kings of the Dark Ages -
A bitter northern winter settles over both land and sea, and we see both
the
shipyards and the barracks hard at work raising new forces for the spring,
the time when men go off to war...
All builds are valid, and no retreats of course in a winter season, so we
move straight on to Spring. This is the last adjudication that will be
copied from both the Gmail and army email accounts. So - if you did NOT
successfully receive this adjudication announcement from both the Gmail and
Army accounts by midnight tonight - you *NEED* to let me know by sending me
an email or letting one of the players that has successfully contacted me
at
the army address know so they can tell me. An email sent only to the Gmail
address equals an NMR until I return on 7 August.
Mike/Jason - there is also a distinct possibility that I will not be able
to
access the Diplomatic Corps website during the next few seasons of
adjudications while I am away training with the Reserves. Is there any
possibility that I could get some temporary help updating the game on the
DC
website during that time?
SPRING 826 will be tenatively set for Thursday, July 16, 1700 GMT+1. There
is a possibility that I will have a break in email access for the next few
days while I am in transit and getting set up. Do not be alarmed if
confirmation of orders is slightly delayed. If by some terrible scenario I
am completely without email access or cannot adjudicate at the appointed
time, well - worst comes to worst, we will take a break and resume when I
return. I doubt that will happen. Expect an email from me to touch base
and make contact as soon as I am established at training.
