| DC215 Spring 1906 Results - MattTheLesser (Jan 19, 2009, 10:40 am) |
Sorry for the delay guys - I've had a bit of a busy weekend. France
finally has some success as he gets back into his two lost home centers,
but sees German fleets claim his waters in return, while the Kaiser and
the Czar produce a couple bounces. In the east Italy storms into
Budapest and the Aegean Sea while Turkey and Russia find themselves
entrenched against each other.
We have no retreats, so we progress directly to Fall 1906, which will be
due this Friday, January 23, at 9 pm eastern.

| DC200 GM EOG - trezdk (Jan 19, 2009, 7:34 am) |
Hello all,
first of all, thanks for being in the game, kinda hard to run it without players 
Second, we had at least 2 new PBEM players and still people did great on orders, that is something I, as a GM, really like.
Third, can I get a donation for a wig? I pulled my hair out so many times during the game asking myself "is player A gonna notice that player B is stabbing him" ect, that is one of the things I hate about being a GM.
But all in all a good game with nice players.
Thanks all for making this a good experience.
Your former GM

Folks,
I have at least a preliminary set of orders from everyone. There are six hours until the deadline, and about eight hours until I get up for the evening (stinking night shift!) If anybody is interested in submitting a last-minute revision to their orders, this is your chance. Adjudication will be out late this afternoon / early this evening.

Guys,
I apologize for the NMR, I thought I had sent orders in. It's really not my style to give up on the game (so I hope that is not the way you perceived the NMR). I want to say that I was glad I had the opportunity to play alongside such experienced players, and hope you all the best... I gave it all I have, and here I lay defeated!
May the best of you win!

Heya guys,
As per Matts earlier email, a DIAS (Draw Including All Survivors) has been proposed. Please do me a favour and have your yay or nay votes turned in with your moves on Wednesday, Jan 21st (11:59 PM GMT). Lack of a vote will count as a nay.
Cheers!

| DC224 - Winter 02 Build Count Correction - former.trout (Jan 17, 2009, 1:48 pm) |
Hi folks,
There was a slight miscue from your fearless GM last night as he forgot to take into account the number of open home centers when calculating builds. For most there is no impact, but unfortunately I have to peel one build away from the Undead. Sorry Jacob, with only one home center available the Undead only gain one build.
Deadline remains as previously set - Monday, January 19th (11:59 PM GMT).
Cheers!

I propose the DIAS again. C'mon guys - don't drag this out; trading
centers in Scandinavia to keep the game going isn't going to break this
stalemate line.

Got to hand it to you guys - I honestly can't figure out whether this
board is headed for a traffic jam or not. Obviously some agree with
me as the DIAS proposal is thrown down. Some interesting moves in the
north and center and the game continues. =)
No retreats are needed after the Spring turn. We'll mozy right along
into the Fall of 1910. Deadline will be set for more funky action on

| A radio address to the nation…….. - MattKelly (Jan 17, 2009, 7:24 am) |
From he who sits upon the Sacred Stool before the Great Bar at the Most Holy Shrine to the Great JuJu & Pub.
So, what do you get when you cross an elf with an Ogre? A big fat frustrated guy with pointy ears and flat feet who dreams of prancing through the meadows while picking his nose; but has the coordination of a one-legged drunken sailor.
All joking aside folks--Reverses on the battlefield and the suffering of our women and wee folk—alcohol withdrawals etal, weighs heavily upon me. We presented the Great JuJu with a buxom, blue-eyed blonde virgin yet it would seem that he has forsaken us. Though we now think the virgin part may have been a mistake. We prayed for a phantom army to help us smite down our enemies and he granted this not. We prayed for visions of our enemies’ plans at least six hours before deadlines, and he granted this not. While all may seem lost I bring great tidings of better days.
I had a dream. Before me stood the Great JuJu, an awe-inspiring vision of a Muppet with a Muppet band and Muppet chicken playing and dancing behind. And in a balcony above to old guy Muppets providing pithy commentary. And the Great JuJu spoke in a rather high pitched screech saying, “I see that the suffering of thy folk weighs much upon you and you now question the wisdom of the Great JuJu. Fear not for thy suffering has moved me. Break out thy passport, thy dark glasses, Miss Clairol, and battery-operated razor. Slip out the back door unseen and take a charter boat out of thy country. I will await thee at a tropic paradise and we shall discuss the current situation over margaritas and in the company of buxom blue-eyed blond vixens experienced in the art of pleasure.” I knew the virgin thing was a mistake!
While it pains me much to leave but when the Great JuJu speaks we must obey. So I am off to a tropic paradise for consultations with the Great One. Keep up the fight while I am gone. Never lose heart. Keep a stiff upper lip. And as the Great JuJu is my witness we shall never go hungry again! Oops, scratch that last line. I was getting a bit carried away. Where was I? Oh yes, I SHALL RETURN……after a change of passports, probably as a tourist and of course after the statue of limitation runs. Best of luck

GERMANS ARE IN ARMS! BURGUNDY HAS FALLEN! MUNICH
THREATENED! FRENCH SHOULD SURRENDER IMMEDIATELY!
===========
Austrian Premier issues an edict of peace to Italy: Stay in Venice
and to the oceans. We'll stay on land and peace will remain
between our countries.
Austrian Premier issues an edict of allegiance to Turkey: Split the
Balkans; I get Ser and Gre, you get Bul and Rum. Peace all
around.
===========
Dear Russia,
Our bounce in Gal was expected, but might we come to a
non-aggression agreement and leave that area alone for the time
being? I will not move to Gal this season. If you do, expect my
forces to push back with all their might. If you don't, we have the
beginnings of a nice relationship.
Austria
The Ottoman Empire announces that the Balkans are his and
Russia and Austria should steer clear! Any further advances into
that area will signal WAR!!!!!!
Berlin Summer 1901
To my brave French comrades in Arms, let us not forget the
struggles of the past 200 years where time and again we have
together thrown the Anglo Saxon armies off our beloved
Continent.
Now, once again we are under threat and it behoves us to unite
once more under the Banner of Liberte, Fraternite and
Frankfurters!
Let us not be cowed down by Albion’s powerful navies, but
instead strike back at her homeland, her dockyards and barracks,
her factories and palaces.
Instead let there be Chocolate for you and Tulips for me!
Let us Unite I say!
The Civilised Peoples of Europe demand no less!

BULGARS OPPRESSED, SEEK TSAR’S AID ONCE MORE
By Hristo Schaldev
Sofia — Bulgarian ambassadors attempting to deliver a message
to the Russian embassy in Sofia were arrested by Turkish officers
this Thursday. Though much of the messages they were carrying
has been kept hidden, this reporter has learned that some of them
were pleas for the Russian army to be dispatched to Rumania and
Galicia.
With traditionally hostile Austrian and Turkish forces already
making power grabs into the Balkans, Russian presence would be
welcomed by locals in both Rumania and especially Bulgaria,
where gratitude and expectation run high stemming from the
Russian assistance against the Ottoman Empire in the 70s’.
Russian presence would also be appreciated (and possibly
rewarded) by the more forward thinking states of Western Europe.
From: Austria
To: France
My dear friend,
If you push into Munich this Fall, I will support your defense in the
Spring. I am certain from this position, you’ll have ample
opportunity to support me in the future.
Yours Sincerely,

| DC224 Slaughter At Storytime - Fall 02 - Troll And... - former.trout (Jan 17, 2009, 12:45 am) |
The Troll sat with Magician and ordered a brew
Talk turned to tales of sorrow so true.
'Bout women, bout war and 'bout scars that they bore
Both paying heed to the nights Hockey score.
"She hurt me" Troll muttered to mug full of foam
"Griswalda?" Mage laughed, "That ugly old Gnome?"
Raising an eyebrow - "She's an odd one to court"
"Though its true many have sailed through her port."
Half in his cups, Troll started to simmer
As Mage joked bout his love's gnomic glimmer
His friend noticed, and took a long swig
Then humbly apologized for being a pig.
"To each Troll their own, as crazed the match be"
"And for her to defer you, the more fool is she.
"But," Mage continued "Did you think she'd deliver?"
"With Troll fleets invading her home - Newa River?"
"Evole gas semter!" was Troll's retort
"Ce sev" slobber slobber "igsl lort!"
The Magician waited for more, he sat pat
For he was pretty sure he'd just been sworn at.
Troll settled down, he smiled and chuckled
Picked up the stool that in rage he had buckled
"You're right," he agreed, "Griswalda's no crisis"
"But speak of Troll fleets - one just occupied Tarsis."
--------------------------------------
Edgar Allen Poe is turning over in his grave... Ah well. =P
The Trolls do indeed have a good turn, as do several other factions. The Leprechauns can be forgiven for thinking that their pot of gold must be in another game, and our armed neutral Nomads meet the bitter end of their voyage.
There were two retreats due from the Fall resolution but both had only one option other than OTB. The Barbarian fleet in Paras Derval was relocated to River Saeren and the Leprechaun fleet from Gollerus found more luck in Fitzgibbon. (If OTB is preferred in either case, please just let me know.)
And, with another Fall in the books we move onto Winter 02. Most have adjustments to make - deadline will be set for Monday, January 19th (11:59 PM GMT).
As always, please let me know if you spot any mistakes. Cheers!

Greetings all,
My first take of this “picking a leader” concept, is neat idea! Till I realize I’ve gotten the leftovers of France … and lets face it France isn’t exactly known for its great leadership. I mean sure there’s the Napoleon types, typical little-man syndrome, expand beyond your means then implode… and then you’ve got the Louis’s, indecisive, non-committal… And of course there’s Marie Antionette, but come on “Reign of Terror”? I don’t think I exactly exude terror… And the mighty Joan of Arc? Dead at 19.
So I suppose for my homework assignment, I’ll have to take on the role of Phillip the Good of Burgundy. Why? Cuz he’s good! (Really). And I’m good too. And since it was Burgundy , it’s not really France , and the further you can disassociate yourself with France the better, right? So… Son of John the Fearless (who better to be a son of?), and is known for his efforts during the Hundred Years War, in which he vacillated between supporting the French and the English… eventually capturing and sending Joan of Arc to her death. Besides having 3 wives and 18 children (the man must have lived well), he was known for being a patron of the arts, who liked long walks on the beach and starry nights. (If you’re ever looking for a 3-player variant, Hundred is quite well balanced, and very hard to win.)
Besides all that, most of you know me. I spend my free time working on this website thingy where they play Diplomacy, and then playing Descent and other sorts of board games… and when not doing that I’m an IT Tech in the Chicagoland area. For anything else, see www.sims-family.net.
Now on to other matters, surely you’ve all been busy plotting the death of the non-existent players, but hopefully it’s not too late to circumvent that!
-mike

Lords and Kings...
I... Cyrus the Great. King of Kings. Emperor of Persia , protector of the Indus valley, lord of the Nile Delta, savior of Babylon , seer of the northern steppes and ruler of the land of two rivers come to you my vassals and ask of you to perform your duty.
All of Europe has been torn asunder by disorder, pestilence, and ignorance. Who amongst you is capable of leading this continent out of its slumber? Who amongst you will bear the drawn dagger and emerge as its master? Who amongst you is worthy of the mantle of King of Kings?
You must now march forth with your armies and your people and prove to me your loyalty through victory. FOR THE SOLO!!!!
*end character*
So we have a new France friends... Mike Sims - one of the guiding lights of the site and the hard working leader of DC has joined our game as France - it must be said that he was inspired by the dedication of the rest of you - (and maybe the theme)... so please welcome him and lets honor him with an NMR-free game.
also - to Alaric I and to King Romulus -please introduce your adopted kings so that the other players know who they are. might as well learn a bit of history while enjoying a game of diplomacy.
to those that might wonder - Mike's email is included above as well (mike(at)southwall.com ([email]mike(at)southwall.com[/email]))
we will keep the Wed Jan 21st deadline (and I have prelim orders from 5 of you).

To ye, the lost kings of yore…
Three of your fellow majesties saw the stars dwindle as they lost the divine blessings which awarded them the kingdoms of France , Germany , and Turkey . In this age of turmoil… three kings were lost.
{In fact – this early excitement has been my muse, and I declare that we now have a theme "Lost Kings". Each of you should think of an ancient King or ruler - let's say… preceding the age of discovery (more on this later).}
Good tidings do however follow. Through the distress and disorder, new lords have arisen to guide these ships of state… we have a new Sultan in Turkey and a new Kaiser in Germany while we still await a new President/Emperor to take the reins in France. Below, I have updated the contact/country assignment list. For the benefit of our new German and Turkish players, I have included the 'Policies & Deadlines' section of the original email with one change. I'm changing the deadline time to 6:00pm EST (11:00pm GMT) because that works better for me – hopefully I can get the adjudication out within 6 hours of when its due this way.
Policies & Deadlines:
All deadlines will be at 6:00pm EST (11:00pm GMT). Below is an initial schedule:
Spring 1901: Wed January 21st
Fall 1901: Wed January 28th
Fall Retreats: Thu January 29th
Winter 1901: Sat January 31st
Spring 1902: Wed February 4th
Summer 1902: Thu February 5th
Fall 1902: Wed February 11th
Fall Retreats: Thu February 12th
Winter 1902 Sat February 14th
NMR (No Move Received) policy: The first missed deadline will earn you a public warning. The second missed deadline will get you replaced. (I expect prelim orders from every player for every season)
Orders: I use gmail which has a great feature that allows all 'related' emails to be stacked together. To maximize this benefit to make sure your orders are not lost, I will be sending each of you a separate individual email titled "Dip 230 - <Country> Orders". Please 'reply' to THAT email for your orders and do NOT change the subject line. In the body of the email, start off with the season and year followed by your orders. I also HIGHLY recommend that you send a preliminary set of orders every single turn so you do not get trapped in my NMR policy.
Delays: I will grant reasonable delay requests made BEFORE the deadline.
Maps: I recommend you download RealPolitik or Diplo (do a google search) which are both very useful free applications that allow you to 'map' the game on your own computer. I will attach a copy of the season's map in the adjudication as well as post it on the DC website.
Themes: Themes are meant to give each game a slight flavor – nothing deep. This game will henceforth be known as "Dip 230 – The Lost Kings" and I want each of you to give yourself the name of a historical King or Ruler (pre 1500's). It can be a ruler from your country (preferred) or from a different culture (go to wikipedia and pick an interesting character). You all can decide how to use your character or to send global/white press as that leader etc. At the very least – it'll serve as your in-game ID.
I will henceforth be known to you as Shah Cyrus the Great – King of Kings (He was the first Emperor of the unified Persian Empire . He began his 30 year rule around 560BC and ended it with the largest Empire known to mankind at the time with dozens of vassal Kings and countries under his rule – so pretty fitting for me :-p )
So I order you mere Kings of Men to send a 'group' email to introduce yourself once more, tell us how long/where else you play diplomacy, say hello, and to present to us your new persona (Please 'reply-all' to this email).
Without further ado, the country assignments are below. Enjoy the game and have fun.
Emperor Cyrus the Great – King of Kings
