Commanders, the orders are in (or at least most of them anyway) and we have another turn complete. Our German leader has sought asylum in Namibia, or somewhere anyway, as he did not get a set of orders to me--nor even an email for that matter. Second NMR and thus I reluctantly allow the glory that was deteriorate into civil unrest...
Nothing historically from your fearless GM today, but that's because you are making your own history...The lines are being drawn between the East and the West as the others try and find somewhere to hide, mostly to no avail.
As our defeated English fleet in Norway only had one option, I took the liberty. Fall orders will be due on Wednesday, November 19 at 2359 GMT.
Here are the details...

I have to echo Dennis' congrats to everyone.
England was my second choice after France. I didn't mind playing as
England but I knew that it would be difficult to leave the island.
Early on my goal was to be friendly to everyone, be honest the whole way
(if possible) and try to make an ally with either Germany or France. I
didn't care which one at first, as long as I had one. I knew how the
triangle between England, France and Germany usually plays out: if you
are the lone country you don't survive. France came early on and tried
to make friend. Germany was more noncommittal (and was building more
fleet than England cares to see). The pack with France was never a full
alliance (as far as I understood it). It was more a deal to attack
Germany and that's it. After France made a few mistakes (on purpose or
not), it seriously affected my view on France. I knew that he didn't
really want a full war on Germany and was making it difficult. At that
point, I could see Austria and Turkey getting along in the East and
growing while we were still doing nothing in the West. My guess is that
Germany saw that also and wanted to act. France didn't seemed (that
might not be correct, but it was my feeling) to cared about the East and
had a hard time convincing me that 3 countries (England, France and
Germany) could coexist. I knew I would get the raw end of that deal
further in the game. At that point, Germany offered me an alliance that
would see France gone and us moving East. I remember at the beginning
being very suspicious of Germany (I'm sure that Dennis felt the same
way). Those first moves really needed trust from both of us. One could
easily have turned on the other at that moment. The alliance with
Germany was a very good one as (in my opinion again) nobody was selfish
and communication was excellent.
Early in the game I was surprised to see Russia so aggressive toward
Norway (a neutral SC that normally goes to England without question in
the beginning) and didn't even talk about an alliance or cooperation
(didn't look good early on). I deduced that Russia wanted to scared me
and focused more on Austria and Turkey. This seemed like a good place to
start.
Turkey was receptive early on to cooperation (an alliance of Turkey and
England is a very good one statistically)! Because of the distance early
on, we kept in touch every year or so. Me asking what was going on the
the East and him asking me about the West. I tried to tell him as much
as I could but it was still a mess (he probably though that I didn't
want to say too much, but it was more that I too didn't know). Turkey's
flip flop between Austria and us later in the game didn't inspire
confidence and upon consultation with Germany we decided not to include
him in our plan anymore by fear of him telling Austria. A 3-way tie
between Turkey, Germany and England would have been totally acceptable
to me toward the middle of the game and would probably have succeeded.
I had almost no dealings with Italy as neither of us was really useful
to the other. It's hard to cooperate when gains are not mutual.
I thought early on that Austria was probably a good player but made it
too obvious in my opinion. Looking too strong, too fast makes for other
countries to join forces to protect themselves and stop you!!! Austria
really only offered me one deal and it was really in his favour. That
didn't give me the confidence needed in an ally. I knew that other
players in my region (the West) had had bad dealing with him and
proceeded with caution. Austria really seemed to understand that this
was a game when I had to take SCs from him and seemed interested in the
challenge! I knew that GMs and some countries had other opinions.
Toward the end, it seemed that everyone was a little bit tired and
wanted the game over (me included sometimes). It became clear that it
would be a 4-way tie and I didn't mind that, even though it seemed like
a lot of effort for nothing and I would have been happy to help either
Austria or Turkey get rid of the other one to change it to a 3-way tie.
I really wanted Germany to have a part of the win since he had been a
really good ally and though that it was unfair that I would get the
solo. But he seemed more interested in me winning than having the other
player share the win. I knew that France would be happy that way.
I also made a lot of mistakes and wish I could have played differently.
I felt really exposed the whole game having units _everywhere_.
I hope that everyone will write one of these even if they didn't enjoy
the game or left early on.
I don't think I'll play Diplomacy any time soon but will surely come
back eventually.
I also have an idea what happen to our first moderator but would be
interested in really finding what happen.
Thanks to Trout for the hard work, to everyone for staying until the end
and to Dennis who was a fantastic ally.

Thanks for the great game everyone, although a little belatedly. And
congrats to Et on the solo win.
This was my first Diplomacy game online and the first in a few years.
I've never played as Germany before and it certainly was not one of my
top choices. It was fun to play though! I got a lot of mail early in
the game.
From the beginning, Germany's plan was to work with France to
eliminate England. With that corner safe, Germany and France would
then turn east. I thought that between England and France, England
was more of a threat for a backstab and the border could be more
easily secured between France and Germany. Obviously, that didn't
work out when France turned on Germany. With Austria and Turkey
wiping out Russia with lightning speed, I frantically emailed France
and England to see if one would turn on the other. By process of
elimination, I joined up with England against France. France, seeing
the threat f Austria and Turkey, allowed us to take SC's with little
to no resistance as long as we worked to make sure Austria/Turkey
would not win.
After France was taken, England focused on fleets in the south and
Germany focused on armies. I kept my fleets around though because I
knew I was going to have to turn on England at one time or another--or
at least protect myself if England turned on me first.
Austria stabbed Turkey and Turkey send cries for help. Germany and
England moved against Austria with Turkey's help for a little while.
But Austria must have offered Turkey a better deal because all of a
sudden, Turkey was working with Austria again. Then BAM, Austria and
Turkey declare they have formed a stalemate line that England and
Germany could not break. After careful examination, I verified their
claim. Given Turkey's resolve to stick with Austria, England and
Germany decided that a stalemate between 4 countries was not worth all
of the time and effort put into the game thus far. Inspired by
France's sacrifice so that Austria and Turkey would not get too
powerful, Germany also gave up SC's. SC's transitioned to English
control, and the rest, is history.
Final thoughts:
-When Et, Dom, and I talked, Dom and I both said we would rather take
ourselves down as long as Austria did not win. And that's exactly
what happened.
-I never trusted Austria.
-I still have no idea what went down with our first moderator. But I
think I have an idea.
-If you want to write out your stories from your perspective, it would
be fun to read and know what happened behind your back.
-I made A LOT of mistakes in movement and strategy. I wasted a few
moves I didn't have to.
-Thanks again everyone. Thanks Trout, your emails were always fun to
read. I'm kind of Diplomacy'd out for now, but hopefully we will meet
again on the map.

| DC173 OK Computer - Fall 1911 - Rule Brittania! -... - alfordd (Nov 13, 2008, 4:57 pm) |
Thanks for the great game everyone, although a little belatedly. And congrats to Et on the solo win.
This was my first Diplomacy game online and the first in a few years. I've never played as Germany before and it certainly was not one of my top choices. It was fun to play though! I got a lot of mail early in the game.
From the beginning, Germany's plan was to work with France to eliminate England. With that corner safe, Germany and France would then turn east. I thought that between England and France, England was more of a threat for a backstab and the border could be more easily secured between France and Germany. Obviously, that didn't work out when France turned on Germany. With Austria and Turkey wiping out Russia with lightning speed, I frantically emailed France and England to see if one would turn on the other. By process of elimination, I joined up with England against France. France, seeing the threat f Austria and Turkey, allowed us to take SC's with little to no resistance as long as we worked to make sure Austria/Turkey would not win.
After France was taken, England focused on fleets in the south and Germany focused on armies. I kept my fleets around though because I knew I was going to have to turn on England at one time or another--or at least protect myself if England turned on me first.
Austria stabbed Turkey and Turkey send cries for help. Germany and England moved against Austria with Turkey's help for a little while. But Austria must have offered Turkey a better deal because all of a sudden, Turkey was working with Austria again. Then BAM, Austria and Turkey declare they have formed a stalemate line that England and Germany could not break. After careful examination, I verified their claim. Given Turkey's resolve to stick with Austria, England and Germany decided that a stalemate between 4 countries was not worth all of the time and effort put into the game thus far. Inspired by France's sacrifice so that Austria and Turkey would not get too powerful, Germany also gave up SC's. SC's transitioned to English control, and the rest, is history.
Final thoughts:
-When Et, Dom, and I talked, Dom and I both said we would rather take ourselves down as long as Austria did not win. And that's exactly what happened.
-I never trusted Austria.
-I still have no idea what went down with our first moderator. But I think I have an idea.
-If you want to write out your stories from your perspective, it would be fun to read and know what happened behind your back.
-I made A LOT of mistakes in movement and strategy. I wasted a few moves I didn't have to.
-Thanks again everyone. Thanks Trout, your emails were always fun to read. I'm kind of Diplomacy'd out for now, but hopefully we will meet again on the map.

Well, lots of trick or treating going on tonight. And for Etienne, it's a treat. Fall 1911 rolls around and, to everyone's surprise it brings a British 19-center solo! (Oddly enough though, the solo proposal was voted down... Go figure.)
Congratulations to Etienne, as well as to all of our players for playing it right out to the end. EOG statements are very welcome - let us hear how the game went for you. The highs, the lows, the middles...
Thanks again to everyone for joining in the fun. We'll see you all in the next one!
Congratulations all! DC-173 is a wrap.

| DC176 - END GAME STATEMENT FRANCE - bschoner (Nov 13, 2008, 10:11 am) |
My initial hopes, as usual for France, were to establish a firm alliance with England or Germany against the other. Unfortunately, England was often non-communicative (except to complain that I didn’t provide a support he had never asked for), and Germany displayed a level a brusque arrogance that really rubbed me the wrong way (nothing personal, but that’s the honest truth). Thankfully, Italy and I had a firm DMZ that we both kept to, and there were no open hostilities among the E/F/G triangle at first. When they did come, however, they were an ugly tangle; Russia and I went after Germany, while England went after Russia and I (and eventually Germany). I’m not sure who else was communicating with each other at this stage, but to me it felt a lot like a Gunboat game; only Russia seemed to be talking to me on any regular basis.
Eventually Germany fell under the combined (if not coordinated) E/F/R assault (except for the rogue unit that I let wander into my backfield since I didn’t have time to deal with it at the moment). I then turned to England, and managed to outmaneuver his staunch defenses with a few lucky guesses, letting me start to wear him down. Russia and I were still on good terms, and things looked good for the midgame. Austria was becoming the 800-lb gorilla of the southeast, but Russia and I would probably have been able to contain him…until Russia decided to take Belgium from me. At that point, my insincere negotiations to form an F/A alliance against Russia became sincere, and Russia began to crumble quickly. (Thus always to those who stab for a single SC!)
Austria got the lion’s share of the gains against Russia, since most of my attention was directed towards polishing off the stubborn English. It was clear that Austria was becoming a solo threat, so when the moment seemed right, I began moving into the Med, hoping to make some significant gains before he could get his forces repositioned. Italy and Russia also seemed amenable to stopping the solo, and the anti-Austrian alliance went well at first. However, my initial gains were apparently a little too successful, and it soon became apparent that Italy would no longer be helping fight Austria for fear of a French solo. I wasn’t opposed to an F/A draw in principle, but I intended to keep pushing against Austria until he demonstrated the ability to slow me down. This past year, he finally did, and I accepted the draw with only a small pang of regret for what might have been.
Many thanks to Monsieur Bielschowsky, our esteemed Judge; to the players who saw it through to the end, however bitter it might have been; and to those who stepped in as replacements. This was my first game on DC, and I definitely plan to be back for more!
Best,
Brian/France[Reply] |

Heya folks,
Once again we run into the curse of late orders. This time three of you fine folks decided to hang out and wait in the wings. We'll extend the Fall 1880 deadline to Friday, November 14th (11:59 PM GMT) as a result.
But - that enables me to put forward the end-game proposals submitted by Matt. Those were the same as the last round - in specific:
1. A Dutch Solo
2. A Six Way Dutch/Russian/Chinese/Japanese/French/USA draw
3. A DIAS (including Britain)
Please have your moves and your votes for the above in by tomorrow night. Cheers!

Heya folks.
The house remains empty in Danzig. Poland opts instead to retreat to Ron. And just like that, we move on into Spring 1910. A DIAS proposal has been put forward for your consideration, and your yay or nay vote for this will be due with Spring orders on Wednesday, November 19th (11:59 PM GMT).
Baltic-Ho!
House-Counter Trout
NEXT DEADLINE: SPRING 1910 ORDERS DUE WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19TH (11:59 PM GMT)!![Reply] |
