DCI 2008 Final Standings - deathblade_penguin   (Dec 18, 2008, 4:22 am)
Dci 2008

Organiser's Comment: I, for one, really enjoyed this year's DC. I know some players were not in favour of the gunboat game but overall I think the 2 games were played very well. All 11 of my 'selected' players played to 110% of their ability (again with one withdrawal from my original 6). I am amazed that both games have ended in 2008, when traditionally we normally finish around April but then I wonder if the Christmas season and upcoming winter blitz have been responsible the large number of DC games that are finishing at the moment.

I would like to thank all the players for their commitment to the games, and a special thankyou to the players who sent me comments, opinions, feedback and general emails as we went along. I particularly loved the diplomacy that was happening in the second game.

anyway - without further ado. Final Standings of the DCI 2008

In reverse order..

In 10th Position on 1 point is Derek Eyler.
In 9th Position on 1 point is Brian Lam

In 8th Position on 4 points is Lee Taylor
In 7th Position on 4 points is Nigel Phillips
In 6th Position on 4 points is Garry Bledsoe

In 5th Position on 7 points is Mike Sims
In 4th Position on 7.5 points is Mikael Johansson

In 3rd Position on 8.5 points is Clark Landry
In 2nd Position (and first runner up) on 10 points is Jorge Saralegui

so In 1st Position, a relative newcomer (perhaps his unknowness helped him in this year's diplomacy) is
Dan Dzikowicz.

Standings in the DCI ranking table.

Mikael 3rd
Clark 5th
Lee 7th

Congratulations to Dan, whose efficiently ruthless play in both rounds clearly separated him from the other ten players, and earned him a victory he deserved more than anyone else. I'm very happy to have come in second in such a strong field. Steve, thanks a lot for designing, recruiting and managing an excellent tourney. Like Dan, I really enjoyed the gunboat variant in the opening round. This was my first time playing gunboat, but figuring out how to communicate despite the rule limitations was a lot of fun. In retrospect, the first round seemed to dictate much of the course of the second, with who had how many points directly affecting strategy. The most crucial example of this was Lee dropping out and being replaced by Garry, who had nothing to lose by shaking up the board. This is an argument against keeping score in the first game, and making it purely an elimination round in the future.

Fall 1902: a reporter from The Gazette is quoted saying that the Austrian Emperor for sure will show his displeasure with this Fall's result. Perhaps the taking of Greece may make up for the loss of Munich, but having to retreat is a public disgrace. No doubt the other Powers will remind him of that! And 1902 has been a year where alliances have become much more visible: Italy and Austria seem to have a common goal in the Balkan and Austria has shown an early interest in Munich; Germany meanwhile seems to have gained the support from Russia; As to France and England, it is still unclear who their allies are.

Deadline for Autumn 1902 retreat for Austria is Thursday, Dec 18 at 23:00 GMT.
Please note that any orders for Summer or Autumn are considered Final by default. So unless the retreats clearly state Prelims, the retreat orders will be adjudicated as soon as all retreat orders are in.

NOTE: I will be away, without access to the Internet from Saturday Dec 20 until Sunday Dec 28.
So I'd like to suggest that the deadline for Winter 1902 will be Sunday Dec 28, at 23:00 GMT.
And Spring 1903 on Sunday Jan 4, at 23:00 GMT.
Any objections to these dates, please let me asap.

DC190 - Adjustments - worldwidegm at gmail.com   (Dec 18, 2008, 1:14 am)
Hey everyone... I've got bad news... bad news... and then some news that makes the bad news more bearable.

1) I don't have adjustments from everyone yet. The deadline was on Tuesday, but I've giving extra time because of #2.

2) I messed up the map big time. I decided to try something to make it harder for me to lose units so often and have now discovered that I saved the units right onto the background. So basically, I have to redo the entire map. Sucks for me.

3) The better news is that I've managed to find a basic map with just the original coloring and no names or units on it, so that'll cut down the time needed significantly. Please have patience as I try to put that back together.

In the meantime, I welcome the missing orders and I'll get back to you when I can. (Note: the next map may hark back to the paint days, just so I can get it out.) We won't run the next spring moves until after the holidays.

FWIW - I agree. On all points.

You might also want to consider something at the top of the houserules
stating what edition was used in drafting the rules. The URL you had
in the other email would be good to put up there as well.

Guys,

Having taken part in creating the default HRs I can assure everyone that it was never the intention to create a set of rules that conflicted with the Standard Diplomacy rules.


The quote I just pasted from the rules says essentially the same thing as our house rules do - only our HRs throw in the SC condition as well. Instead of a bullet-point list, the standard rulebook just wrote it into a paragraph.


The bullet-point list is only to eliminate options to reduce the auto-disband to a single choice. All four conditions should be viewed as a set and taken together.


The final word is up to Jackson, of course. But the rule-book says that he made the right call, the HRs say that he made the right call and as the player whose unit it is I agree with it as well.

Number of spaces is counted regardless of unit type. Whether the unit is a fleet or an army is irrelevent. For the purpose of calculating distance from a home SC, the unit is either X number of spaces or it is not.

Exactly. Because both are two spaces away from Russias home SCs. Then you take the one that is not on an SC itself.

Go one step further. Same example but add a fleet in the Norwegian Sea. In that case, it would be the fleet that gets disbanded and Munich and Syria would both stay on the board.

None of those take precedence over each other - they are meant to be taken as a whole.

i.e.


The unit disbanded is the one that is furthest from a home center.
If more than one is equidistant from a home SC, then the unit removed is one not on a supply center.
If more than one are not on a supply center then you take fleets before armies.
Then you resort to the alphabet if there choices still have not resolved into one.


In this case there was only one unit that was two spaces away from a home SC. That was Munich.

Good grief. How did I miss sending in that order. Sorry guys.

Packrat is right though - the default is usually the unit furthest from the home centers. (Not just any center.) But default removals are covered by the HRS - which are in this case the default DC house rules.


"On a Winter turn an NMR (NBR/NDR) would mean that if the player was building - the builds would be waived and if the player was disbanding, units would be disbanded under the following rules [list:f2575bc50e] [*:f2575bc50e]Units not in a supply center before units in a supply center [*:f2575bc50e]Units further from home centers before units closer to home centers [*:f2575bc50e]Fleets before armies if equidistant per the above [*:f2575bc50e]Alphabetical"[/list:u:f2575bc50e]

Both of my units that are not on a supply center are only one space from a home center. Munich is two. As such, Jackson made the correct disband.


Long story short, the lapse on my part was unforgiveable and the forced disband is my fault. I think Jackosn made the right call.

Folks, I have a dispute about these adjudications.

The default by Russia seems to be incorrect adjudicated, according to the DiplomaticCorp House Rules.

The rules specifically state that the first unit to be removed is a unit that is not in a supply center. Clearly, MUN is a supply center.

Then, the next criteria states that the unit which is further from a home supply center is to be removed. Both FIN and BLA are one space away from a home supply center (even though STP is not owned by Russia, it is still a Home supply center).

The third criteria is a fleet before an army will be removed. BLA is a fleet. FIN is an army. Therefore, BLA should have been removed.

Thanks,

Number of spaces is counted regardless of unit type. Whether the unit is a fleet or an army is irrelevent. For the purpose of calculating distance from a home SC, the unit is either X number of spaces or it is not.

You guys are adding sub-text where there isn't any.

Exactly. Because both are two spaces away from Russias home SCs. Then you take the one that is not on an SC itself.

Go one step further. Same example but add a fleet in the Norwegian Sea. In that case, it would be the fleet that gets disbanded and Munich and Syria would both stay on the board.

None of those take precedence over each other - they are meant to be taken as a whole.

i.e.


The unit disbanded is the one that is furthest from a home center.
If more than one is equidistant from a home SC, then the unit removed is one not on a supply center.
If more than one are not on a supply center then you take fleets before armies.
Then you resort to the alphabet if there choices still have not resolved into one.


In this case there was only one unit that was two spaces away from a home SC. That was Munich.

Good grief. How did I miss sending in that order. Sorry guys.

Packrat is right though - the default is usually the unit furthest from the home centers. (Not just any center.) But default removals are covered by the HRS - which are in this case the default DC house rules.


"On a Winter turn an NMR (NBR/NDR) would mean that if the player was building - the builds would be waived and if the player was disbanding, units would be disbanded under the following rules [list:9783dfab77] [*:9783dfab77]Units not in a supply center before units in a supply center [*:9783dfab77]Units further from home centers before units closer to home centers [*:9783dfab77]Fleets before armies if equidistant per the above [*:9783dfab77]Alphabetical"[/list:u:9783dfab77]

Both of my units that are not on a supply center are only one space from a home center. Munich is two. As such, Jackson made the correct disband.


Long story short, the lapse on my part was unforgiveable and the forced disband is my fault. I think Jackosn made the right call.

Folks, I have a dispute about these adjudications.

The default by Russia seems to be incorrect adjudicated, according to the DiplomaticCorp House Rules.

The rules specifically state that the first unit to be removed is a unit that is not in a supply center. Clearly, MUN is a supply center.

Then, the next criteria states that the unit which is further from a home supply center is to be removed. Both FIN and BLA are one space away from a home supply center (even though STP is not owned by Russia, it is still a Home supply center).

The third criteria is a fleet before an army will be removed. BLA is a fleet. FIN is an army. Therefore, BLA should have been removed.

Thanks,

Actually, I think I have only actually run into this scenario a couple of times and then
I the route wasn't an issue.

Also, given the latest rulebook reference I would have to agree with you 100% on the
distance being independent of the route.

Dude - I'm pretty sure that I've seen you auto-disband using the shortest route approach. Why are we debating this? =)

I've never seen anyone calculate an auto-disband based on the route that a unit would have to take to get from point A to point B. Its always been shortest path to home SCs.


In any case, on page 19 of the latest Avalon Hill version of the rules it says:
"If a country in civil disorder has to remove units, the units furthest from the country are removed first. If units are equally distant than remove fleets before armies and then in alphabetical order by the provinces in which they are located."


http://www.wizards.com/avalonhill/rules/diplomacy_rulebook.pdf



There's nothing there about the "route" that a unit would have to take. Simple count of spaces to see which units are furthest away...

dc 197 Winter 1905 - klynch427   (Dec 17, 2008, 10:50 pm)
Wow - lots of emails in my inbox tonight. 2 comments.

1) I actually requested a Fleet in Trieste. I've re-sent that email to the GM, not sure how I ended up with an Army in TRI instead.

2) I'm not sure I quite understand the "take the rules as a whole" argument. Don't you use alphabetically only as the last resort? And don't you use fleet over army only as the next-to-last resort? It would make more sense to me to keep a unit in a supply center, so I'd think that comes first. In which case, BLA should be disbanded and not MUN. I don't really care too much how this ends up, but that is the outcome that makes the most sense to me.

Folks, I have a dispute about these adjudications.

The default by Russia seems to be incorrect adjudicated, according to the DiplomaticCorp House Rules.

The rules specifically state that the first unit to be removed is a unit that is not in a supply center. Clearly, MUN is a supply center.

Then, the next criteria states that the unit which is further from a home supply center is to be removed. Both FIN and BLA are one space away from a home supply center (even though STP is not owned by Russia, it is still a Home supply center).

The third criteria is a fleet before an army will be removed. BLA is a fleet. FIN is an army. Therefore, BLA should have been removed.

Thanks,
-kevin

dc 197 Winter 1905 - former.trout   (Dec 17, 2008, 10:46 pm)
Dude - I'm pretty sure that I've seen you auto-disband using the shortest route approach. Why are we debating this? =)

I've never seen anyone calculate an auto-disband based on the route that a unit would have to take to get from point A to point B. Its always been shortest path to home SCs.


In any case, on page 19 of the latest Avalon Hill version of the rules it says:
"If a country in civil disorder has to remove units, the units furthest from the country are removed first. If units are equally distant than remove fleets before armies and then in alphabetical order by the provinces in which they are located."


http://www.wizards.com/avalonhill/rules/diplomacy_rulebook.pdf



There's nothing there about the "route" that a unit would have to take. Simple count of spaces to see which units are furthest away...

Good grief. How did I miss sending in that order. Sorry guys.

Packrat is right though - the default is usually the unit furthest from the home centers. (Not just any center.) But default removals are covered by the HRS - which are in this case the default DC house rules.


"On a Winter turn an NMR (NBR/NDR) would mean that if the player was building - the builds would be waived and if the player was disbanding, units would be disbanded under the following rules [list:1fbac6c046] [*:1fbac6c046]Units not in a supply center before units in a supply center [*:1fbac6c046]Units further from home centers before units closer to home centers [*:1fbac6c046]Fleets before armies if equidistant per the above [*:1fbac6c046]Alphabetical"[/list:u:1fbac6c046]

Both of my units that are not on a supply center are only one space from a home center. Munich is two. As such, Jackson made the correct disband.


Long story short, the lapse on my part was unforgiveable and the forced disband is my fault. I think Jackosn made the right call.

Good grief. How did I miss sending in that order. Sorry guys.

Packrat is right though - the default is usually the unit furthest from the home centers. (Not just any center.) But default removals are covered by the HRS - which are in this case the default DC house rules.


"On a Winter turn an NMR (NBR/NDR) would mean that if the player was building - the builds would be waived and if the player was disbanding, units would be disbanded under the following rules [list:e623184b4d] [*:e623184b4d]Units not in a supply center before units in a supply center [*:e623184b4d]Units further from home centers before units closer to home centers [*:e623184b4d]Fleets before armies if equidistant per the above [*:e623184b4d]Alphabetical"[/list:u:e623184b4d]

Both of my units that are not on a supply center are only one space from a home center. Munich is two. As such, Jackson made the correct disband.


Long story short, the lapse on my part was unforgiveable and the forced disband is my fault. I think Jackosn made the right call.

Folks, I have a dispute about these adjudications.

The default by Russia seems to be incorrect adjudicated, according to the DiplomaticCorp House Rules.

The rules specifically state that the first unit to be removed is a unit that is not in a supply center. Clearly, MUN is a supply center.

Then, the next criteria states that the unit which is further from a home supply center is to be removed. Both FIN and BLA are one space away from a home supply center (even though STP is not owned by Russia, it is still a Home supply center).

The third criteria is a fleet before an army will be removed. BLA is a fleet. FIN is an army. Therefore, BLA should have been removed.

Thanks,

Number of spaces is counted regardless of unit type. Whether the unit is a fleet or an army is irrelevent. For the purpose of calculating distance from a home SC, the unit is either X number of spaces or it is not.

You guys are adding sub-text where there isn't any.

Exactly. Because both are two spaces away from Russias home SCs. Then you take the one that is not on an SC itself.

Go one step further. Same example but add a fleet in the Norwegian Sea. In that case, it would be the fleet that gets disbanded and Munich and Syria would both stay on the board.

None of those take precedence over each other - they are meant to be taken as a whole.

i.e.


The unit disbanded is the one that is furthest from a home center.
If more than one is equidistant from a home SC, then the unit removed is one not on a supply center.
If more than one are not on a supply center then you take fleets before armies.
Then you resort to the alphabet if there choices still have not resolved into one.


In this case there was only one unit that was two spaces away from a home SC. That was Munich.

If more than one is equidistant from a home SC, then the unit removed is one not on a supply center.
If more than one are not on a supply center then you take fleets before armies.
Then you resort to the alphabet if there choices still have not resolved into one.


In this case there was only one unit that was two spaces away from a home SC. That was Munich.

Good grief. How did I miss sending in that order. Sorry guys.

Packrat is right though - the default is usually the unit furthest from the home centers. (Not just any center.) But default removals are covered by the HRS - which are in this case the default DC house rules.


"On a Winter turn an NMR (NBR/NDR) would mean that if the player was building - the builds would be waived and if the player was disbanding, units would be disbanded under the following rules [list:09996d90a8] [*:09996d90a8]Units not in a supply center before units in a supply center [*:09996d90a8]Units further from home centers before units closer to home centers [*:09996d90a8]Fleets before armies if equidistant per the above [*:09996d90a8]Alphabetical"[/list:u:09996d90a8]

Both of my units that are not on a supply center are only one space from a home center. Munich is two. As such, Jackson made the correct disband.


Long story short, the lapse on my part was unforgiveable and the forced disband is my fault. I think Jackosn made the right call.

Folks, I have a dispute about these adjudications.

The default by Russia seems to be incorrect adjudicated, according to the DiplomaticCorp House Rules.

The rules specifically state that the first unit to be removed is a unit that is not in a supply center. Clearly, MUN is a supply center.

Then, the next criteria states that the unit which is further from a home supply center is to be removed. Both FIN and BLA are one space away from a home supply center (even though STP is not owned by Russia, it is still a Home supply center).

The third criteria is a fleet before an army will be removed. BLA is a fleet. FIN is an army. Therefore, BLA should have been removed.

Thanks,

Number of spaces is counted regardless of unit type. Whether the unit is a fleet or an army is irrelevent. For the purpose of calculating distance from a home SC, the unit is either X number of spaces or it is not.

You guys are adding sub-text where there isn't any.

Exactly. Because both are two spaces away from Russias home SCs. Then you take the one that is not on an SC itself.

Go one step further. Same example but add a fleet in the Norwegian Sea. In that case, it would be the fleet that gets disbanded and Munich and Syria would both stay on the board.

Good grief. How did I miss sending in that order. Sorry guys.

Packrat is right though - the default is usually the unit furthest from the home centers. (Not just any center.) But default removals are covered by the HRS - which are in this case the default DC house rules.


"On a Winter turn an NMR (NBR/NDR) would mean that if the player was building - the builds would be waived and if the player was disbanding, units would be disbanded under the following rules [list:b4cf77b5a0] [*:b4cf77b5a0]Units not in a supply center before units in a supply center [*:b4cf77b5a0]Units further from home centers before units closer to home centers [*:b4cf77b5a0]Fleets before armies if equidistant per the above [*:b4cf77b5a0]Alphabetical"[/list:u:b4cf77b5a0]

Both of my units that are not on a supply center are only one space from a home center. Munich is two. As such, Jackson made the correct disband.


Long story short, the lapse on my part was unforgiveable and the forced disband is my fault. I think Jackosn made the right call.

Folks, I have a dispute about these adjudications.

The default by Russia seems to be incorrect adjudicated, according to the DiplomaticCorp House Rules.

The rules specifically state that the first unit to be removed is a unit that is not in a supply center. Clearly, MUN is a supply center.

Then, the next criteria states that the unit which is further from a home supply center is to be removed. Both FIN and BLA are one space away from a home supply center (even though STP is not owned by Russia, it is still a Home supply center).

The third criteria is a fleet before an army will be removed. BLA is a fleet. FIN is an army. Therefore, BLA should have been removed.

Thanks,

dc 197 Winter 1905 - former.trout   (Dec 17, 2008, 10:30 pm)
Number of spaces is counted regardless of unit type. Whether the unit is a fleet or an army is irrelevent. For the purpose of calculating distance from a home SC, the unit is either X number of spaces or it is not.

You guys are adding sub-text where there isn't any.

Exactly. Because both are two spaces away from Russias home SCs. Then you take the one that is not on an SC itself.

Go one step further. Same example but add a fleet in the Norwegian Sea. In that case, it would be the fleet that gets disbanded and Munich and Syria would both stay on the board.

None of those take precedence over each other - they are meant to be taken as a whole.

i.e.


The unit disbanded is the one that is furthest from a home center.
If more than one is equidistant from a home SC, then the unit removed is one not on a supply center.
If more than one are not on a supply center then you take fleets before armies.
Then you resort to the alphabet if there choices still have not resolved into one.


In this case there was only one unit that was two spaces away from a home SC. That was Munich.

Folks, I have a dispute about these adjudications.

The default by Russia seems to be incorrect adjudicated, according to the DiplomaticCorp House Rules.

The rules specifically state that the first unit to be removed is a unit that is not in a supply center. Clearly, MUN is a supply center.

Then, the next criteria states that the unit which is further from a home supply center is to be removed. Both FIN and BLA are one space away from a home supply center (even though STP is not owned by Russia, it is still a Home supply center).

The third criteria is a fleet before an army will be removed. BLA is a fleet. FIN is an army. Therefore, BLA should have been removed.

Thanks,
-kevin

dc 197 Winter 1905 - packrat   (Dec 17, 2008, 10:27 pm)
No, I think he may be correct - SYR can NOT go to ARM.
If we are taking convoys into account then I think the intent
is that the route the unit must take is important as well.

Nope, because a fleet in SYR is not two spaces away from a Russian province.

In that case, the fleet in SYR would be removed, because even at the least, the fleet in SYR is 4 spaces away from SEV.

Exactly. Because both are two spaces away from Russias home SCs. Then you take the one that is not on an SC itself.

Go one step further. Same example but add a fleet in the Norwegian Sea. In that case, it would be the fleet that gets disbanded and Munich and Syria would both stay on the board.

None of those take precedence over each other - they are meant to be taken as a whole.

i.e.


The unit disbanded is the one that is furthest from a home center.
If more than one is equidistant from a home SC, then the unit removed is one not on a supply center.
If more than one are not on a supply center then you take fleets before armies.
Then you resort to the alphabet if there choices still have not resolved into one.


In this case there was only one unit that was two spaces away from a home SC. That was Munich.

[quote:0c7a8b3c81] Yeah, I was just looking at that. What the rules don't say is which takes priority,
furtherest from home, or on a supply center or not.

But I am curious - given the three editions that have come out since my 82 edition -
what do they say? Yes, I know the DC House Rules trump the real rules, but it
would be interesting to see what they say. Especially since Kevin's email implies they
may be different.

Good grief. How did I miss sending in that order. Sorry guys.

Packrat is right though - the default is usually the unit furthest from the home centers. (Not just any center.) But default removals are covered by the HRS - which are in this case the default DC house rules.


"On a Winter turn an NMR (NBR/NDR) would mean that if the player was building - the builds would be waived and if the player was disbanding, units would be disbanded under the following rules [list:0c7a8b3c81] [*:0c7a8b3c81]Units not in a supply center before units in a supply center [*:0c7a8b3c81]Units further from home centers before units closer to home centers [*:0c7a8b3c81]Fleets before armies if equidistant per the above [*:0c7a8b3c81]Alphabetical"[/list:u:0c7a8b3c81]

Both of my units that are not on a supply center are only one space from a home center. Munich is two. As such, Jackson made the correct disband.


Long story short, the lapse on my part was unforgiveable and the forced disband is my fault. I think Jackosn made the right call.
