Hey guys, just throwing out a reminder to you that this game will be resuming on the 1st of August after some delays.

Let's get back on track and have fun finishing this one off strong. So far a lot of excitment and with the latest player change there could be anything around the corner.

DC267 Winter 2010 Adjustments - MattTheLesser   (Jul 30, 2009, 6:59 pm)
Everybody has their builds in, so onward we push. Sorry for the lack of
commentary but I'm running out the door to go out of town for the

before then. The next dead, for Spring 2011 movements, will be this
coming Monday, August 3, at 9 pm eastern. Remember that the territories
that froze in the winter will melt again for the spring; they are listed
below the adjustments.

Matt

Adjustments:

Canada:
Build A Churchill
Build F Nain

Denmark:
Build F Nuuk

Norway:
Build F Oslo

Russia:
Build A Pevek
Build F Magadan

USA:
Build F Anchorage
Build A Juneau

Territories melting for the spring:
Baffin Bay
Chukchi Sea
East Siberian Sea

My apologies, I forgot about the adjudication today, and now I'm too time-pressured to run it. I am freezing orders as of right now, though, and I will handle this first thing in the morning. My many apologies.

243 Spring 1909 Fall Monday - agwopa   (Jul 30, 2009, 12:43 pm)
Well it seems that the lines are clear... the world vs. Turkey. But for how long? I love this game and will this "alliance" hold? Will the opertunity we all look for present it's self? Will Turkey Valiantly hold on til the bitter end? Oh what questions are important? Will the Cubs ever win the World Series? Do frogs really bump the ground when they land? Time will tell.
The most important Question that can be answered first is... where does Serbia retreat to?
Greece or Albania. OTB is also allowed.
This is how it happened....
Germany:
A Brest Hold
A Budapest Supports A Trieste - Serbia
A Burgundy Hold
F English Channel Hold
A Marseilles Hold
F Mid-Atlantic Ocean Hold
A Munich Hold
F North Sea Hold
A Norway Hold
A Paris Hold
A Portugal Hold
A Tyrolia Supports A Vienna - Trieste

Italy:
F Apulia Supports F Naples - Ionian Sea
F Naples - Ionian Sea (*Fails*)
F Spain(sc) - Western Mediterranean
A Trieste - Serbia
F Tunis Supports F Spain(sc) - Western Mediterranean
F Venice - Adriatic Sea
A Vienna - Trieste

Russia:
A Galicia Supports A Sevastopol - Rumania
A Livonia Hold
F London Hold
A Moscow - Sevastopol (*Bounce*)
A Sevastopol - Rumania (*Fails*)
A Ukraine Supports A Sevastopol - Rumania
A Warsaw - Moscow (*Fails*)

Turkey:
F Aegean Sea Supports F Ionian Sea
A Armenia - Sevastopol (*Bounce*)
F Black Sea Supports A Rumania
A Bulgaria Supports A Rumania
F Ionian Sea Hold
A Rumania Supports A Serbia (*Cut*)
A Serbia Supports A Rumania (*Dislodged*)


Thanks all and have a great day
Turkey I hope 24 hours is enough to get the retreat in and lets plan on Monday for a Fall due date.
Thanks again

My House Rules - aramis604   (Jul 30, 2009, 4:27 am)
DEADLINES & GRACE PERIODS
Deadlines are not suggestions. I will normally adjudicate any given turn within an hour or two of the deadline. There will be no automatic grace period for later orders with one exception: Orders and changes will not be counted as late if sent before I begin adjudication.

In the event I must miss a deadline by more than a couple hours I will notify everyone, and very likely set a new deadline for a later time.

I will also try to send a reminder at least 12 hours in advance for all deadlines. Be aware however that all players are still responsible for getting their orders to me on time even if I fail to send a reminder.


PHASES PER WEEK
Generally speaking I allow 5 days for Spring/Fall turns, 1 day for any necessary retreat turns, and 2 days for Builds/Disbands.

I will not normally set a deadline on a Weekend.


ORDERS
When I receive your orders I will send confirmation that I have gotten them. If you don't receive this acknowledgment from me then I probably haven’t received them and you should resubmit.

A unit must be issued an order for it to take any action. There are no implied orders!

You may change your orders as many times as you like before the deadline. Should you choose to change your orders please make sure to submit an order for each of your units. If I have multiple sets of orders from you by the time I begin adjudication I will use the most recent email that you have sent me. If that email does not contain a order for each of your units, those units not ordered will do nothing.

I will not be reviewing your orders before the deadline, so please make sure to review them for clarity before you send them. Any confusions or incorrect moves caused by unclear orders are the players fault and I will give no opportunity to fix them once I have begun adjudication.


UNIT DESIGNATIONS
Since there can only be one unit in a province at any given time, omitted or incorrect unit designations will not invalidate an order. But please try to be accurate.


MULTIPLE ORDERS FOR UNITS
If any particular unit is mentioned twice in an order list with contradictory orders, the last order instance for that unit will be selected for adjudication. Except when one order for a unit specifies the correct unit type and another specifies the incorrect unit type. The correct order with the correct unit type will take precedence. Example:

F London - English Channel
A London - Wales

The order F London - English Channel will be attempted and A London -
Wales will be voided.


NMR'S
I will not adjudicate with an NMR in the first year.

Players will have one NMR tolerated. In the event that a player does NMR that player must contact the GM within 48 hours of the results being posted to confirm that they will continue playing. If no reply is received I will immediately begin looking for a replacement before the next turn. If the offending player contacts me before I find a replacement he may be allowed to continue, but that decision is at my discretion.

A player who fails to submit orders a second time during the game will be removed immediately.


Failing to submit a Build or Retreat order not be counted an NMR and will not lead you to being removed from the game. However the player is required to contact me within 48HRs or I will begin to seek a replacement.


DRAWS AND OTHER PREMATURE TERMINATION
Players are free to propose an agreement to terminate the game at any time. According to the basic rules of Diplomacy this should result in a draw between all survivors. However I will accept any reasonable proposal. Approval requires a unanimous yes vote by all surviving Players (players may abstain and not affect the outcome of the vote). The vote will be cast by secret ballot. Results will be announced upon receipt of first "no" vote, a unanimous "yes" vote or upon expiration of deadline. The player who makes the proposition does not have to vote yes. Not voting before the deadline will be considered abstaining and will not affect the vote.


AMENDMENTS & CHANGES
The GM reserves the right to amend these rules at any time. Changes will be made in cases requiring rules clarification. GM also reserves the right to put any issue to a vote of the remaining players. All votes must be unanimous to pass.

DC261 - Spring 1903 Results *UPDATE* - aramis604   (Jul 30, 2009, 4:23 am)

Germany suceeds into Budapest, but the co-ordination of France and Austria almost makes it seem as though thats where they WANTED the forces in Black.  Hmm.  Guess we'll see where THAT goes.

DC266 Spring 1902 Orders - MattTheLesser   (Jul 29, 2009, 10:45 pm)
Some interesting developments this turn as there is a ton of action in
the west, where France convoys an army to the British Isles, only to
find two German armies on his doorstep. German fleets also make headway
in the north, sweeping into Sweden and the Gulf of Bothnia. The action
is also heating up in the western Med, which suddenly finds itself full
of French and Italian fleets. The situation in the Balkans, however, is
the exact opposite, as no attacks occur whatsoever. Whether it's
because a rare peace has been brokered or all the powers are just too
afraid of each other, only time will tell.

There are no retreats, so we move directly to Fall 1902. That deadline
will be this coming Monday, August 3, at 9 pm eastern.

Matt

1648 090623: Spring 1651 Moves - charlesf   (Jul 29, 2009, 1:44 pm)
Moin Moin!

the eerie calm in the East has been finally shattered! It began last year with fighting over Transylvania. Now, the Eastern marches of the Rzeczpospolita and much of the Balkans stand aflame! Historically the 1650s were arguably the worst decade in Polish history ("The Deluge"Wink until the 20th century. Poland never fully recovered from Cossack, Russian, Swedish and Transylvanian invasion, though the famous Sobieski still brought glory to Polish arms in later decades. I very much recommend the Polish movie adaptation of Henryk Szienkiewicz's "With Fire and Sword" (also the author of "Quo Vadis?", I was tempted to give 1648 the name "With Fire and Sword", btw). It's set in 1647-49 and gives you a good sense of those times (who doesn't like seeing a charge of winged horsemen?). The Cossack leader Bohdan Chmelnicki gets a really favourable treatment whereas the Polish magnates - um - not so much... A much better movie than the imo virulently nationalistic Russian movie "1612", which indulges in anti-Polish sentiment. In a way these recent films are rather telling mirrors of an increasingly insular, authoritarian and, sadly, xenophobic Russia and that of a far more internationally-minded contemporary Poland. Ah well, sorry for the digression...

Another remarkable development may be Denmark's much improved position. Frederick III is clearly benefitting from Oxenstierna's focus shifting more into a south-easterly direction by the looks of it. Indeed, the four westernmost powers appear to be recovering from past setbacks, though to varying degrees. It was quite remarkable to see one whole side of the map simultaneously suffering through a time of troubles. I am anxious to see how the ebb and tide of the great power's fortunes will evolve.

Regarding the RP file, I've reworked it to conform with the actual date. Not sure whether it is compatible with the older version of the 1648 module. If not, then download the latest version from diplomaticcorp.com.

When submitting orders, it'd be nice if you could list the orders in alphabetical order. Makes things a bit easier for me, but don't fret about forgetting to do so.

For our two new observers: You can find past adjucations and a slideshow of earlier maps at www.diplomaticcorp.com (this game being DC264).

Liebe Grüsse,

Charles

From Poland-Lithuania:

The Polish government issued a denunciation of the Turkish invasion of Transylvania today.

The Turkish ambassador was unavailable for comment, but did release a terse statement on behalf of the Turkish government saying they were only testing the resolve of the Polish peoples.

ALERT - Giant blob discovered in the Chukchi Sea! When the ice melts - will this blob engulf American ambition in the frozen north? Will Russian fleets dare face this slimy, gooey monster? And what other sea creature will emerge as the ice sheets retreat in this warming world?
