Hey Mike,

I really apprieciate you trying to fill in for Bruce in the end. It
was fine up until France suddenly dropped out without any notice. I
hope she is ok and nothing happened to her. But she was my one main
ally and when she dropped out I was basically just waiting to get
taken out.

I would really like to play another game with the same people who
stuck it out in the end, and you too Mike. I love meeting new people
and playing diplomacy, and diplomatticorp is such a great community of
people.

As an EGS, I would have to predict Gareth winning the game, as he was
already about to take me out and Russia as well. All in all, it would
have been a really good game minus the few dropouts and delays.

Thanks Bruce, very good job GMing this rough game, not sure if you are
a new GM or whatever. And thanks to Jorge, Jeremiah, Steve, Gareth,
and Trout for staying in the game.

Hope to play with you all again!

Joey

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…



Whatever! Diplomacy is always fun, and this game wasn’t half bad.
Met with some challenges admitted, but we all got thru it, and in the
end, I have to say the remaining 5 were all a very active bunch.
Given how much everyone was wanting to jump up and say something about
getting some closure to this game, I kinda wouldn’t have minded to see
how it would have played out!



But that will have to be saved for another day, another game… for all
5 remaining players have voted for a 5-way DIAS!



Many thanks to all of you. Committed play makes for great challenging
games, and as a direct result of this game, I’ve added those who stuck
it out to the end, to my own personal list of players-to-invite to
special invite-only games that come up on rare occasion.



If you haven’t already, I’d suggest all of you who are interested in
the hobby, to give GM’ing a try. It will take your game to the next
level, as you learn a lot from running games that you don’t see as a
player. If you’d like to run a game, let me know! As a club we need
to always grow our talent base, both as players and GMs.



And now - the final stats!



Karl and Josh unfortunately had early game abandons.

(Thanks again to Trout and Jorge for covering)

Master Trout managed an elimination (is that “managingâ€Â� something?)

And Jorge, Jeremiah, Joey, Steve, and Gareth get the 5-way Draw.



Bruce, I look forward to you giving GM’ing another go. Hope you don’t
mind me putting a bow on this one for ya.



I think that’s about it! Let’s see, the game played out over 176
days, or about half a year.



EGS (End-Game-Statements) are always welcome and encouraged, to
reflect back on what happened, or where the game might have gone.



Enjoy!

All:

For my part, Brasil is very firmly against this. If Matt meets the victory conditions, of course I have no objection to his victory, but I will not agree to grant it to him outright given the circumstances under which it's coming to pass.

I will vote "no" with my upcoming order set.

Subject: WWIV: the solo vote

Fellow world warriors,


I'm not happy that Andrew (USA) decided to make the solo so easy for Matt (Illinois), but no one deserves it more than Matt. And he will have it by the end of the year, no matter what any of us do. So if you have some goal you want to accomplish that takes two turns, or just can't stand the idea of voting for a solo, vote No. But if you want to accept the inevitable and move on to your next Dip game, vote Yes.

For what it's worth, that's what I'm doing.

Heya folks,

Austria puts up a spirited offense, fronting the good front in Rumania.  Budapest, however, meets a grisly fate.  Meanwhile things heat up around the North Sea...

The 2-way draw meets with defeat once again.  It is proposed again for Fall voting, along with a German solo proposal.  Please let me know your yay or nay votes for both proposals by the Fall deadline.

Speaking of which - Fall 1908 orders will be set for Monday, July 20th (11:59 PM GMT).  Please let me know if you spot any errors.

Cheers!
