Deep within the bomb-proof walls of an undisclosed location in southern Europe, the leaders of the unoccupied territories gathered. The walls shook as explosions rocked the ground above them - dust sifting from the ceiling with each bone-jarring thump to collect on the ground.
The Tsar pointed at the map spread on the table before them. "Nyet, comrades. This cannot be!" His finger hovered above the black dot that represented Vienna, as if somehow he could change it back from black to red.
The pink-clad Austrian before him grimaced. "Unfortunately, its true. The attack from Tyrolia was too much for us to hold."
"But can they really be at nineteen supply centers?" The Italian questioned - his voice cracking.
The Sultan smirked. "Their gains came in the west, from France, not from our Eastern centers." He sat in his chair quietly smoking his hookah and trying to ignore the sounds of the war above them. "We might as well all be waving white flags."
At that moment, the door opened and the French President walked in. His wardrobe consisted of shining white garments, from his stylish coat to his burnished shoes. A white beret topped his smiling face. Whistling to himself, he stopped as he suddenly noticed that the other four men were glaring at him. "What?" he asked. "Something I said?"
------------------------------
And with France, so goes the board. Congratulations to Mike Sims for a sweeping 19 center German solo victory in DC-104. Finessing his way back into Vienna, the German also storms into Marseilles and Spain to seal the deal. And with that, the first round of the Invitational comes to a close.
There was one retreat required from Spain, but it had only the Gulf of Lyons to go to. But of course, that is purely window-dressing with the game resolved. My thanks to all you players who made this game a very memorable one.
EOG's are, of course, extremely welcome. I would greatly look forward to what all of you have to say about this crazy game of ours. It's been an honour being the GM for this - my hat is off to all of you.
As always, please let me know if I've made a mistake at all in the adjudication. For those who keep track of these things, the last few Subject Headers came from the great White Stripes album "Get Thee Behind Me Satan."
Cheers! (And congratulations once again to Mike..)

Gentlemen.
Round 2 is likely to kick off within the next week or so. There are a few adminstrative issues that need to be run before that
starts though.
Firstly, i need the players to confirm to me, if they are able to play in the second round of the competition.
Could i have yes or no confirmations asap please?
The game/variant for round 2 will be selected by voting on it. Once you have voted, you
are 'effectively' locked into the game and will score a CD if you choose not to play
based on the variant.
At this stage, I am waiting to hear from :-

At that moment, the door opened and the French President walked in. His wardrobe consisted of shining white garments, from his stylish coat to his burnished shoes. A white beret topped his smiling face. Whistling to himself, he stopped as he suddenly noticed that the other four men were glaring at him. "What?" he asked. "Something I said?"
------------------------------
And with France, so goes the board. Congratulations to Mike Sims for a sweeping 19 center German solo victory in DC-104. Finessing his way back into Vienna, the German also storms into Marseilles and Spain to seal the deal. And with that, the first round of the Invitational comes to a close.
There was one retreat required from Spain, but it had only the Gulf of Lyons to go to. But of course, that is purely window-dressing with the game resolved. My thanks to all you players who made this game a very memorable one.
EOG's are, of course, extremely welcome. I would greatly look forward to what all of you have to say about this crazy game of ours. It's been an honour being the GM for this - my hat is off to all of you.
As always, please let me know if I've made a mistake at all in the adjudication. For those who keep track of these things, the last few Subject Headers came from the great White Stripes album "Get Thee Behind Me Satan."
Cheers! (And congratulations once again to Mike..)

2 retreats, but one is forced to Wales, and the other can go to Ank or Arm… so I’ll send it to Ank, if Turkey wishes to adjust, he can do so by Sunday 2pm Pacific or the retreat stands.
Fall ’07, quite possibly our final year will be due Tuesday, 10/16, 2pm Pacific, tho I will run this turn early if at any point I have 6 sets of orders.
Italy & Turkey NMR… guys please do turn in orders in what could be this last season! If you do, you get survivals, if not, 2 consecutive NMR would be Civil Disorder… would suck to play 7 years just to miss the last turn and get a CD for it in your stats. Whereas if you complete the game, your accounts are upgraded to regular status at which point you can freely join any number of games. Even “all units hold” is acceptable to avoid the wrath of the CD.

From the Message of Master Gokurakuji
When one is serving officially or in the master's court, he should not think of a hundred or a thousand people, but should consider only the importance of the master.
The Spring of 1572 comes to the Isles of the Rising Sun and see the Mori make a play for the Chosokabe heartland, the Takeda and the Hojo bump heads in Shimotsuke and the Uesugi cling to one last thread of hope in Mutsu.
No retreats are required after the turn, although the Ronin army in Mino is dislodged and disbanded. We'll quickly move into Fall 1572 orders and set the deadline for Thursday, October 18th (11:59 PM GMT). As always, please let me know if you spot any errors in the adjudication.

I have received a number of questions wanting to confirm that Germany is due a build order for winter 1901, and that the results I posted for Fall 1901 did in fact contain a mistake.
I have addressed those questions individually with the people who have asked, but I would like to remind everyone to check the DC124 forum on the diplomaticcorp web site for updates regarding DC124. I will frequently post important game information in the forum such as updates, corrections, changes, and deadline reminders.
You can receive email notifications of new posts by subscribing to the DC124 forum as well. As DC124 is the pilot game for the new forum the majority of my communication to the group will be via the forum. In general the only emails I will send to you; the players are turn results, confirmation of orders received, and answers to any questions you send me.

| dc104 DCI German EOG - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
First off, Woohoo!
The cream of the crop, the big cahuna, the taco supreme, the game of games… the dc invitational, and a solo! What a game…
Before everyone rips on Felix, hold those thoughts… it should be known that this win did not come from Felix, but rather a series of questionable moves toward the mid and end game by quite a few players that netted me the win. Will get to that later… first I’ll share the game from my point of view:
The early game:
Right off the bat I knew I was in a good spot this game. Starting as Germany, you always worry about the early elimination… the England, France double-team, or Russia taking Scandinavia. However I got a great start in that Steve was England and Felix was France, and those two fight in just about every game. Some rivalries never die. Then also it turns out that my other two more distant neighbors, Russia and Austria, were Mikael and Ray-- Another duo that seem to always have it in for the other. I was sitting pretty.
First year, got the 3 builds, and helped Russia into Sweden, thinking with Steve in England I might need an ally… And this is about where things started to go really bad. It seemed like Italy stole Marseilles from France in fall ‘01, tho actually France gave it to him, in an elaborate plot… a plot to “eliminate England and leave Germany defenseless”. It was a masterful design, sort of the opposite of an Italian Octoberfest… you know where Italy goes thru Munich to attack France? Well this was Italy going thru France to attack Germany. It was an ingenious plan, and left me fried when I found out what was going on… I couldn’t believe I bought it, a plan created by Felix and Kevin had completely snowed me.
Second year was the very odd Italian build of an army in Venice. At this point I knew something was up, and I argued for days with Felix and Kevin about the merits of such a build. I knew it wasn’t to attack Austria, and the way to kill France was to build another fleet… but an army was raised, and the Fiafranchetto was destined to come to fruition… with simultaneous moves by Russia, Italy, and France, all against me and Steve! Fortunately I bounced 1 of the 3 moves against me, but Italy ended up in Tyrolia, and Russia in Silesia. I was basically dead from here on – with only 3 armies of my own! (I’d built 2 fleets at Felix’ request – part of the Fiafranchetto).
What saved me was a couple things… first—Ray… came thru w a killer move on Russia, taking 2 sc of growth in the 2nd year with Gal, Bul, and Rum falling to Austria. This caused Mikael to abandon the attack on me, and fall back to defend his homeland. And second—Kevin. After substantial negotiation, I managed to convince Kevin that an attack on France would produce more results than pursuing me, and so came the day the Fiafranchetto died, with Italy swiping Spain the turn he was to get support into Burgundy.
Third year, things were looking a thousand times brighter, as Russia withdrew, Italy had attacked France, and I had my original 6 units to sit on, half of which were fleets. At this point I made the move that really pushed me forward, which was a stab into Italy, right after he’d stabbed France. I knew Felix would never let him live that down, and so it was a very successful move which put me in Marseilles (Italian sc) by the end of the 3rd year. Also the newfound alliance with Felix already had him in position vs Steve (England) and so all it took was me shifting my units to the north and Steve was outgunned at sea 5 fleets to 3. It was only a matter of time. Steve was certain to lose Norway, and be reduced to his 3 island centers, which he expedited the loss of by misordering a key cover of London.
The Mid-Game:
Years 4 and 5 were just Felix and I pressing our advantage… Mikael and Ray tossing back and forth in the east, Steve beaten back in England, and France dominating the Med. Not much changed, until maybe year 6 or so, when everyone started ranting about a possible German solo. All the talk aside tho, nobody was willing to step up and make a move against me, being locked in their own wars. I think Mikael and Ray fought clear up to the fall of 08, by which point it was just too late to stop me.
Any semblance of organization at this point by AR, and I would have been stopped cold, and a DIAS could have been forced. But instead we trudged into year 7 with everyone saying Felix had to make the move to stop me, but nobody else would do the same. Because of this, I was able to keep Felix onside for quite a long time! While he did give in to the demands of the resistance a few times, I was able to keep him onside enough times to keep my progress inching forward.
The End-Game:
Year 7… more gains for me as Mikael pulled out of Moscow, in yet another attack on Ray, while yet again Ray attacked Mikael., handing me some centers I thought I would have to fight tooth and nail for. Instead I walked into Mos, securing those two eastern centers (War/Mos) I knew I’d need if I was to win.
Year 8… Russia and Austria FINALLY got together and decided to stop attacking each other, but by this time I was already in Moscow, and I had France outmatched in fleets – already occupying Par and Bre.
Italy was still alive by a hair tho, so I spent hours convincing Felix that we had to take out Italy in repayment for him stabbing the Fiafranchetto. It worked about half the time, the other times he’d order something to help the others… like helping Italy recapture Venice, and destroying my army in Rome. Both huge setbacks for me. In fact these were really my only setbacks along the way, all of which were due in part to Felix.
The End:
The 1908 turn was very odd because I knew Mikael was coordinating moves at this time, yet he had Turkey order F Apu-ION. I thought this was a bad move, since it set up a 50/50 guess for me outright soloing! In the final year, I had certain capture of Mar or Spain (but not both) for 17 sc, and then draw… but I also had a 50/50 shot at Vie or Ven because of this s08 move making it so they couldn’t defend both.
I guessed well, and went for Vie, tho it didn’t matter as the resistance didn’t cover either center. Whether I’d gone for Vie, or Ven, I would have been successful. Felix hosed an order that put me at 19, which was irrelevant in the end.
I’m very surprised I got this solo. At any point in years 5-6-7 if Austria and Russia had stopped fighting, they could have stopped me, but they just didn’t do it. Instead they demanded Felix make these gotta-stop-Sims moves, and he refused to do so on his own when everyone else was insulting him left and right for not stopping me, yet none of them would do so themselves.
So I owe the win largely to the alliance I built up w France after the Fiafranchetto (later dubbed Fiafranghetto) collapsed, but also to the eastern wars, and the easy capture of Moscow. Also the constant insults to Felix really egged him on and gave me lots of opportunities to keep him with me.
It was a great game, very exciting, especially negotiating towards the end, trying to keep battles going in the east, and to keep Felix onside in the west.
Good game to all, and I look forward to being slaughtered in round 2.

Felix & Kevin, you two better write up that opening, and get it to go down in the history books.

it's also the time of year as well.
Often Standard games fill quicker than variants but at this time of year. it's been a little slow.[Reply] |
| dc104 DCI German EOG - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Ah thanks Sims for stating all that is apparent!!
Well well well, Kingmaker Felix made good on the rumours fo the DCI!!
Here is my little take.....
When I was asked to join the DCI, or more like qualify for the DCI, I was a bit shocked and
frankly disgusted, because i knew it would end ugly...more so for me than anyone else....
i was caught between two hard places.....one.....if i sided with sims, penger would cry hell bent
hell cross gaming kingmaking scum vermin that i am.....if i sided with sims, it would have been....
show DC that you and penger are really close and attack sims because sims is ranked first in Dc.....
of course there was the ray camp....don't follow felix at all he will just piss you off, better kill him than to
suffer later, or he will throw the iching or some other absurdity...
so for me, the only 3 player i needed to really piss off were.....
sims, ray, penger.
so how do i play, what should i do??
here comes the fiafranchetto....
when i saw the players i decided on a whim with kevin on im to form a sort of reverse version of the lepanto
where italy really attacks germany but through france.....
it was a cockeyed opening but i saw....like sims saw...the strong possibility of it succeeding and to an extent it
really did...until kevin got a bit cold footed...no doubt by the pesterings of ray/sims penger...and then took spain!!
when the fiafranchetto was blossoming....
for those of you paying attention.....
the moves were.....
to get me via convoy to clyde...effectively killing england off...and positioning france in picardy, italy in burgundy and tyrolia
it would amount to italy keeping marseille for the duration of the game and allow me to finish england
and put immense pressure on germany....
as i saw it, i was going to finish the game with kevin, the most neutral on the board and the one most
able to make it work.....i was wrong....
when kevin took spain i freaked out, i was livid as i was already on english soil and germany and england were
shocked at all that was happening....the fiafranchetto would have been impressive....
fia (italian for the fiat) fran (for france) and chetto....a spear....kinda like the franchetto opening in chess.
too bad it didn't pan out....it was gold gold i say!!
so after kevin smashed my dreams to bits
i decided that i have two choices
to finish off penger (insert torn rage between killing penger in every game, cause thats what i do!!!!....and playing the game)
or to play the game of vengeance
and i decided to play for vengeance......
sims did very very well in coordinating the rest of my moves
tempting me
consoling me
and basically tricking me to do his bidding, sims is a master for the weak minded like myself.
during this period, i was harassed by the likes of penger saying things like giving sims a solo
kingmaker, and so forth et cetera et cetera!!! and frankly i was tired of defending it, so why not just
EMBRACE it!!
if someone says you are something prove to them that you ARE!!!!
i proved to ray that i'm a horrific player by giving him the solo in a previous game
so why not show penger that i am indeed the Kingmaker of sims in this one??!!!
frankly sims did play wonderfully, promising me all sorts of things...one of which was to take out
mikael for second place!!!
thus my random end game moves
i knew that stopping sims would not work when i sent a 5 party 'attack sims' email, and had that forwarded
by ray to sims...at that point, i knew that everyone would blame me for the sims solo, so i said, what the heck
i'll make it so!!
and so we dilly dallied, got called names, lots of folks resigned from the second round and just a bunch of drama
and finally i was tired of the game, sims would solo and coming in second and demolishing kevin/ray would have
been entertaining but really too much effort......
one thing that came of it.....
there was only one elimination.
i need not mention who that was
satisfaction guaranteed!!
sims....make room for me in your coffin for round two...i'll be next to you, six feet under before it even begins!!
Thanks for all the fish trout!!
a pleasure as usual!

First off, Woohoo!
The cream of the crop, the big cahuna, the taco supreme, the game of games… the dc invitational, and a solo! What a game…
Before everyone rips on Felix, hold those thoughts… it should be known that this win did not come from Felix, but rather a series of questionable moves toward the mid and end game by quite a few players that netted me the win. Will get to that later… first I’ll share the game from my point of view:
The early game:
Right off the bat I knew I was in a good spot this game. Starting as Germany, you always worry about the early elimination… the England, France double-team, or Russiataking Scandinavia. However I got a great start in that Steve was England and Felix was France, and those two fight in just about every game. Some rivalries never die. Then also it turns out that my other two more distant neighbors, Russia and Austria, were Mikael and Ray-- Another duo that seem to always have it in for the other. I was sitting pretty.
First year, got the 3 builds, and helped Russia into Sweden, thinking with Steve in England I might need an ally… And this is about where things started to go really bad. It seemed like Italy stole Marseilles from France in fall ‘01, tho actually France gave it to him, in an elaborate plot… a plot to “eliminate England and leave Germanydefenseless”. It was a masterful design, sort of the opposite of an Italian Octoberfest… you know where Italy goes thru Munich to attack France? Well this was Italygoing thru France to attack Germany. It was an ingenious plan, and left me fried when I found out what was going on… I couldn’t believe I bought it, a plan created by Felix and Kevin had completely snowed me.
Second year was the very odd Italian build of an army in Venice. At this point I knew something was up, and I argued for days with Felix and Kevin about the merits of such a build. I knew it wasn’t to attack Austria, and the way to kill France was to build another fleet… but an army was raised, and the Fiafranchetto was destined to come to fruition… with simultaneous moves by Russia, Italy, and France, all against me and Steve! Fortunately I bounced 1 of the 3 moves against me, but Italy ended up in Tyrolia, and Russia in Silesia. I was basically dead from here on – with only 3 armies of my own! (I’d built 2 fleets at Felix’ request – part of the Fiafranchetto).
What saved me was a couple things… first—Ray… came thru w a killer move on Russia, taking 2 sc of growth in the 2nd year with Gal, Bul, and Rum falling to Austria. This caused Mikael to abandon the attack on me, and fall back to defend his homeland. And second—Kevin. After substantial negotiation, I managed to convince Kevin that an attack on France would produce more results than pursuing me, and so came the day the Fiafranchetto died, with Italy swiping Spain the turn he was to get support into Burgundy.
Third year, things were looking a thousand times brighter, as Russia withdrew, Italy had attacked France, and I had my original 6 units to sit on, half of which were fleets. At this point I made the move that really pushed me forward, which was a stab into Italy, right after he’d stabbed France. I knew Felix would never let him live that down, and so it was a very successful move which put me in Marseilles (Italian sc) by the end of the 3rd year. Also the newfound alliance with Felix already had him in position vs Steve (England) and so all it took was me shifting my units to the north and Steve was outgunned at sea 5 fleets to 3. It was only a matter of time. Steve was certain to lose Norway, and be reduced to his 3 island centers, which he expedited the loss of by misordering a key cover of London.
The Mid-Game:
Years 4 and 5 were just Felix and I pressing our advantage… Mikael and Ray tossing back and forth in the east, Steve beaten back in England, and France dominating the Med. Not much changed, until maybe year 6 or so, when everyone started ranting about a possible German solo. All the talk aside tho, nobody was willing to step up and make a move against me, being locked in their own wars. I think Mikael and Ray fought clear up to the fall of 08, by which point it was just too late to stop me.
Any semblance of organization at this point by AR, and I would have been stopped cold, and a DIAS could have been forced. But instead we trudged into year 7 with everyone saying Felix had to make the move to stop me, but nobody else would do the same. Because of this, I was able to keep Felix onside for quite a long time! While he did give in to the demands of the resistance a few times, I was able to keep him onside enough times to keep my progress inching forward.
The End-Game:
Year 7… more gains for me as Mikael pulled out of Moscow, in yet another attack on Ray, while yet again Ray attacked Mikael., handing me some centers I thought I would have to fight tooth and nail for. Instead I walked into Mos, securing those two eastern centers (War/Mos) I knew I’d need if I was to win.
Year 8… Russia and Austria FINALLY got together and decided to stop attacking each other, but by this time I was already in Moscow, and I had France outmatched in fleets – already occupying Par and Bre.
Italy was still alive by a hair tho, so I spent hours convincing Felix that we had to take out Italy in repayment for him stabbing the Fiafranchetto. It worked about half the time, the other times he’d order something to help the others… like helping Italy recapture Venice, and destroying my army in Rome. Both huge setbacks for me. In fact these were really my only setbacks along the way, all of which were due in part to Felix.
The End:
The 1908 turn was very odd because I knew Mikael was coordinating moves at this time, yet he had Turkey order F Apu-ION. I thought this was a bad move, since it set up a 50/50 guess for me outright soloing! In the final year, I had certain capture of Mar or Spain (but not both) for 17 sc, and then draw… but I also had a 50/50 shot at Vie or Ven because of this s08 move making it so they couldn’t defend both.
I guessed well, and went for Vie, tho it didn’t matter as the resistance didn’t cover either center. Whether I’d gone for Vie, or Ven, I would have been successful. Felix hosed an order that put me at 19, which was irrelevant in the end.
I’m very surprised I got this solo. At any point in years 5-6-7 if Austria and Russia had stopped fighting, they could have stopped me, but they just didn’t do it. Instead they demanded Felix make these gotta-stop-Sims moves, and he refused to do so on his own when everyone else was insulting him left and right for not stopping me, yet none of them would do so themselves.
So I owe the win largely to the alliance I built up w France after the Fiafranchetto (later dubbed Fiafranghetto) collapsed, but also to the eastern wars, and the easy capture of Moscow. Also the constant insults to Felix really egged him on and gave me lots of opportunities to keep him with me.
