| Pythagorean Septem - Game Start! - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Greetings! And welcome to this 162nd game of Diplomaticcorp Diplomacy,
and the 2nd play of the Pericles variant!
This game is hereby dubbed the "Pythagorean Septem"
Please include "PS" in all your mails to me about this game! All
players have been in touch w me already about the game, and many of you
have been eagerly holding for this one to get in motion. If you add a
mail filter to auto sort things, I would suggest a filter for "PS" and
"dc162".
The first (and last) time Pericles was played, was dc084 - over 2 years,
and nearly 80 games ago (my God has it been that long?). I ran that
game, had a blast as the Messenians slammed a 20-sc Solo win, led by Lee
Taylor.

Game forum: http://www.diplomaticcorp.com/phpbb2/viewforum.php?f=66
This forum is just for our game! You have all been subscribed to it by
default... this means any time somebody posts to it, you should get that
cc'd to your email inbox, so you are aware there is a new post. I will
also copy all adjudications to the forum, which means you will receive
adjudications twice - once from me, and once from the forum. This
ensures you are receiving it from two sources automatically, and have
little to no chance that an outgoing mail won't reach you. You can post
to the forum by visiting the site, or by emailing to:
dc162(at)diplomaticcorp.com. Any mail you send to this list will propagate
to all 7 players and myself.
Game page: http://www.diplomaticcorp.com?game_id=dc162
This is where you can find all information about this game! All
adjudications are posted here to browse thru, as well regular standings.
House Rules: http://www.sims-family.net/dip/houserules.htm
You should take a moment to gloss over these, for it's what I'll use to
resolve any sticky situations.
Pericles variant info: http://www.dipwiki.com?title=Pericles
This explains some of the map features
Timeline: This is a one-week game. That is one week for Spring and
Fall turns, with 2 days for Summer and Winter. "Autumn" (Fall retreats)
will be combined with Winter in most cases. My standard deadline is
always 2pm Pacific. That is about 10pm GMT.
PRESS: Especially in variants, press is greatly encouraged!
RESULTS: Those of you who have played in any games I've run before will
know I am a stickler for orders being in on time! I run the turns
usually within minutes of a deadline, at the latest, later that evening
after the kids go to sleep. If you don't get a result set within 24
hours of a deadline, then you KNOW something is messed up w the email
system, and you should inquire as to why!
PRELIMS: A majorly good habit to get into! Turn in a set of moves
early. Prelims are REQUIRED in Spring 01, w/in 48 hrs of this
game-start... so I know we have a full set. After that, they are
encouraged, but not required.
**************************************************
Roster and deadline to follow shortly.
Enjoy!

| Pythagorean Septem - Roster! - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Now that the formalities are out of the way, let's get it on!
IN his first game in dc, yet highly slandered by his brother, is John
Ellsworth - history teacher and Diplomacy veteran - leading the
Aetolians in the upper left corner.
johnmarkellsworth(at)gmail.com
IN what seems like his millionth game in dc, comes revered moderator and
veteran Former Trout leading the Arcolians in the bright purple smack in
the center of the map.
former.trout(at)gmail.com
IN a direct request to get into this game despite taking on 3 as an
eager newcomer to the site, comes Jack McHugh - aka Flapjack - leading
the Atticans out of Asia Minor.
jwmchughjr(at)gmail.com
IN another eager entry for a newcomer, comees Lequinian - the great
Scott Hickey leading the Boetians out of the upper right corner.
thase+dipcorp(at)dalarin.net
IN a first appearance in PBEM, but full of face to face experience (heh
which wont help you a bit here!) comes the mighty Andrew Smith leading
the Elians on the left edge of the map
248-pwou(at)a.dii.mod.uk
IN quite possibly the most eloquent world design ever, we have with us
the creator of the Imperial 1840 variant and leader of the 1st Maine
Cavalry, the masterful Sergeant Jerry Todd leading the Laconians in the
bottom middle!
sgttodd(at)mainecav.org
And finally batting cleanup... (well heh I guess batting 7th is not
really an impressive spot to be!) is the dc hopeful David Ellsworth, GM
of Cry Havoc!, head Hobbit of Hobbitonfieldville, and now leader of the
brick red Messenians!
davidellsworth(at)sbcglobal.net
Good luck all! Simple and clear lineup below if you don't fancy the
above exaggerations. 
FIRST DEADLINE - Tuesday March 4, 2pm Pacific!
PRELIMS - due by this Thursday Feb 28, 2pm Pacific! If I don't have
prelims from you by then, I'll hound you to confirm you're in this one.
Enjoy!

and I for one hopes that Russia pays back China for every drop of Britsh blood that was shed.
Actually I echo Russia's comments here.
I allowed myself to be mislead by Holland 3 times (shame on me, I know)... and France once and Usa twice (man am i a sucker or what)
but the time is NOW to stop these maniacs.
Britain has been fighting the USA for years now and whilst France is determine to get to my little island, they are ignoring the bigger threat.
I pledge to fight USA and HOlland.
and if France wont help us, then i say Death to France as well.
let's us form a league to stop them. As one of my absolute favourite Rimmer quotes (from red dwarf) is the Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisms and their Rehabiliation in Useful Society.
But i digress.
Comrade, Russia - the British Empire stands with you. Tell us how we may assist.

Cast this game to the turf. It's over.
Holland has complete and utter control of the Indian Ocean. Gaining control in Africa and the Mideast. And being given gifts in the south Pacific by Japan. The powers that could prevent his advance have chose instead to bicker and stab amongst themselves turning a blind eye to Hollands unchecked growth.
The USA has exploded recently. He currently has NO significant threat to him. No vulnerable front and it is only a mater of time before he cracks Brazil and England. And he will continue to pick up gains as Japan collapses.
Who will turn and stop them? Who will stop bickering and stabbing and make a global concerted effort to stop them? Anyone? It would take all of the lesser powers - by name: Austria, England, France, China, Russia, Brazil and Japan - just to start to counter their strong holds. Anyone?
I am guilty of the bickering and stabbing myself. But I have given every effort imaginable to join those forces against Holland and USA. No real willing partners. Not even in certain area's where it would seem beneficial. I am tired. Tired of trying to band forces together to fight the super powers. Tired of neighbors, who should be allies, choosing to squabble over scraps while H and U continue to grow UNCHECKED!
Russia is now fully committed to repaying China. Not because of his stab, but because since we started talking, he has continued to turn a blind eye to Holland and disregarding the fact that he COULD make a difference. Every unit I have will now be thrown in that direction. If people, namely Austria choose to gobble up my centers as I redirect them then my point to this press will only be amplified. If France continues to be the patsy to these two powers, then I say hike that skirt up higher and bite the pillow a little harder. Soon they will swallow you up as well.
End this now, so I don't have to watch 7 players watch as their lack of awareness and desire to counter 2 players bites them in the ass.
USA and Holland - well done. Not sure how you got to that point before I joined, but what ever spell you cast over the rest of us deserves my applaud.
Dave I am coming for you...

| Dc132 - Grace period Started Austria/Italy - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Dc132.
I have NO moves from Austria or Italy.
According to my records, Austria is yet to use his grace period so Dirk, you've got 24 hours to get moves to me or suffer an NMR.
Italy has used his grace period so Nick, you have until Austria submits moves to get an order in for Fleet Apulia.
I will adjudicate as soon as I have Austria's moves or at 9pm Wednesday 27th February 9pm Australian EST.
Anyone else is welcome to change their moves in this time.

Cast this game to the turf. It's over.
Holland has complete and utter control of the Indian Ocean. Gaining control in Africa and the Mideast. And being given gifts in the south Pacific by Japan. The powers that could prevent his advance have chose instead to bicker and stab amongst themselves turning a blind eye to Hollands unchecked growth.
The USA has exploded recently. He currently has NO significant threat to him. No vulnerable front and it is only a mater of time before he cracks Brazil and England. And he will continue to pick up gains as Japan collapses.
Who will turn and stop them? Who will stop bickering and stabbing and make a global concerted effort to stop them? Anyone? It would take all of the lesser powers - by name: Austria, England, France, China, Russia, Brazil and Japan - just to start to counter their strong holds. Anyone?
I am guilty of the bickering and stabbing myself. But I have given every effort imaginable to join those forces against Holland and USA. No real willing partners. Not even in certain area's where it would seem beneficial. I am tired. Tired of trying to band forces together to fight the super powers. Tired of neighbors, who should be allies, choosing to squabble over scraps while H and U continue to grow UNCHECKED!
Russia is now fully committed to repaying China. Not because of his stab, but because since we started talking, he has continued to turn a blind eye to Holland and disregarding the fact that he COULD make a difference. Every unit I have will now be thrown in that direction. If people, namely Austria choose to gobble up my centers as I redirect them then my point to this press will only be amplified. If France continues to be the patsy to these two powers, then I say hike that skirt up higher and bite the pillow a little harder. Soon they will swallow you up as well.
End this now, so I don't have to watch 7 players watch as their lack of awareness and desire to counter 2 players bites them in the ass.
USA and Holland - well done. Not sure how you got to that point before I joined, but what ever spell you cast over the rest of us deserves my applaud.

You made your bed now lie in it. I was content to fight Hollands expansion into the Pacific but you and china could not see your way clear of leaving my mainland holdings alone to allow me some strength for the fight. Brazil and the US then go off ans start their own war with no eye to any other goal. I am simply tired of people blowing smoke and then not sticking into what they say they will do. At least Holland has been fairly straight forward. when He stabbed me, he never continued along a simple line of its for the good of the game or I need to do that!!. You on the other had made simple grab at four centers with out the consideration of any consequences. Deal with it!!

Which came first the chicken or the egg?
None of it matters right now. USA and Holland WILL WIN THE GAME IF EVERY LAST ONE OF US REMAINING CANNOT BAND TOGETHER AND COUNTER THEM - PERIOD.
There is no way any of us secondary or lesser powers will grow if we do not band together. That includes me forgiving Austria and China. That includes Japan not turning in the towel. It includes peace and cooperation between England and France. That includes France taking his star spangled skirt and danish halter top off. That includes Austria halting actions against France and Russia. It includes France and Japan start working with Brazil. It means China stops attacking Russia and stops being passive to the Holland incursions. If even one of these things DOES NOT HAPPEN IMMEDIATELY then those of us mentioned above should vote a resounding yes to the proposed USA/Holland Joint Victory.
If WE ALL WANT to stop the super powers, then the time is now - RIGHT NOW. Cast the horse shit, double talk, fear, doubt, distrust, revenge and what ever else aside. Band together and make one global concerted effort to counter them.
Feel free to commit yourself below:
Russia are you? Absolutely.
China are you in?
Austria are you in?
England are you in?
France are you in?
Japan are you in?
Brazil are you in?
It starts with small gains which are still within our collective grasp. But they won't be for much longer.
What shall our DJ/GM instruct the band to play? A battle March? Or the Beagal?

Nothing exciting, not bumps so all moves go through as ordered.
However, those moves are already setting us up for some smashing skirmishes!
Our gracious moderators have also asked all GMs to include a note that we are always looking for more GMs.
The last year has brought staggering growth to DC and as you know, it is all volunteer effort that keeps it going.
Anyone who has played a game is eligible to GM, and it takes far less time to adjudicate then to play, and the Ajducations themselves are very easy with a tool like Reakpolitik.
It also gives you rare insight into the workings of the game and can improve your play.
If you have any questions about GMing a game feel free to ask me or any of the other GMs, or especially our intrepid moderators, Stephen, Mike, and the Fish formerly known as Trout.
Ok, My duty to the club complete, lets set our Fall orders for Saturday, March 1st (at) 9PM East Coast US Time
As always, please let me know if you spot any errors.

Folks...
Once again, Trout is on drugs.
It was NOT a DIAS that was proposed, but an English / Russian Draw. That is what passed - not a vote on a DIAS.
Thanks to the players that pointed out my error here. Apologies for any confusion. This game ends in an [u:2a2e4ec3b7]E/R DRAW!
[/u:2a2e4ec3b7](good grief... See - you guys CAN do a better job at this than I can...) =P

And how could I refuse a request like that? Yes, the DIAS draw passes with five enthusiastic votes and peace falls on the European continent once more. For the sake of things, I ran through the Fall 1913 adjudication but it changes little and the board remains dead-locked. Therefore, this game is one for the books. My thanks and congratulations to all you players for playing this one out to the bitter end. It was a hard-fought one, that's for sure. End-of-game statements are, of course, very welcome.
For the record, for all of you folks who watched what I did, shrugged their shoulders and said 'Meh, I could do that,' then have I got an offer for you.. Diplomaticcorp is currently looking for GM's to step up and put me in my place. Whether you have lots of experience, or have never GM'd a single game, we'd love to have you. If you're interested (and I *know* you are) just drop me, Sims or Penger a line...
Once again, my hearty congratulations to you guys for the draw. Thanks for putting up with all the horrendous poetry with nary a protest.. =)

| DC103 - Fall 1915 - Exit Music - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Gentlemen,
Through sword and fire, France moves into an impressive 20 center solo victory. Equally impressive, in my mind however, is the fact that in a quiet little corner of Turkey, the Sultan takes some back and ekes out a survival. While cities everywhere begin importing wines and smelly cheeses, Turkey beats back all four nations attacking it and regains Smyrna from Italian hands...
With that, peace falls in Europe. My congratulations to Mike H for his worthy victory. My hats off, also, to all of you players who have battled your hearts out to this point. EOGs, of course, are very welcome - let us know what you think of the game and its result. =)
My thanks to all of you for playing this one out to the bitter end. See you all in the next one. *grin*
(Speaking of... Right now Diplomaticcorp is looking for GMs to come forward and take the reigns of some upcoming games. Previously experienced or green behind the gills, its all good. If you feel like stepping up and volunteering to help the group out, just let me, Sims or Penger know. We'd love to have you.)
Cheers!

'Your poetry is REALLY bad'
The players said, all very mad
'Our ears have bled,
Brain cells gone dead -
Please stop it now you heartless cad!!'
---------------------------------------------------------
And how could I refuse a request like that? Yes, the DIAS draw passes with five enthusiastic votes and peace falls on the European continent once more. For the sake of things, I ran through the Fall 1913 adjudication but it changes little and the board remains dead-locked. Therefore, this game is one for the books. My thanks and congratulations to all you players for playing this one out to the bitter end. It was a hard-fought one, that's for sure. End-of-game statements are, of course, very welcome.
For the record, for all of you folks who watched what I did, shrugged their shoulders and said 'Meh, I could do that,' then have I got an offer for you.. Diplomaticcorp is currently looking for GM's to step up and put me in my place. Whether you have lots of experience, or have never GM'd a single game, we'd love to have you. If you're interested (and I *know* you are) just drop me, Sims or Penger a line...
Once again, my hearty congratulations to you guys for the draw. Thanks for putting up with all the horrendous poetry with nary a protest.. =)
Cheers!

Bret,
Waitaminnut...don't lump me in with Russia. China also takes pride in the fact that it was always straight with Japan. ???
When you came on the scene Bret, China/Japan was at war...and you continued in that vein.
That was cool...I still said "welcome to the game...and good luck!"
Then finally you asked me when you were losing ground to allow you the mainland holdings to help you fight versus Holland. Don't you remember what happened? I said you had a couple of disbands coming so if you disbanded the mainland armies (which you did not need for a naval war), I would comply.
You did the exact opposite...so I continued to capture Chinas birthrights.
Don't transfer your hatred at Russia onto China.
Russia evil.
China good.
No lead was used in the preparing of this message.

From: Bret Pollack <bret_pollack(at)hotmail.com>
.hmmessage P { margin:0px; padding:0px } body.hmmessage { FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY:Tahoma } You made your bed now lie in it. I was content to fight Hollands expansion into the Pacific but you and china could not see your way clear of leaving my mainland holdings alone to allow me some strength for the fight. Brazil and the US then go off ans start their own war with no eye to any other goal. I am simply tired of people blowing smoke and then not sticking into what they say they will do. At least Holland has been fairly straight forward. when He stabbed me, he never continued along a simple line of its for the good of the game or I need to do that!!. You on the other had made simple grab at four centers with out the consideration of any consequences. Deal with it!!

Cast this game to the turf. It's over.
Holland has complete and utter control of the Indian Ocean. Gaining control in Africa and the Mideast. And being given gifts in the south Pacific by Japan. The powers that could prevent his advance have chose instead to bicker and stab amongst themselves turning a blind eye to Hollands unchecked growth.
The USA has exploded recently. He currently has NO significant threat to him. No vulnerable front and it is only a mater of time before he cracks Brazil and England. And he will continue to pick up gains as Japan collapses.
Who will turn and stop them? Who will stop bickering and stabbing and make a global concerted effort to stop them? Anyone? It would take all of the lesser powers - by name: Austria, England, France, China, Russia, Brazil and Japan - just to start to counter their strong holds. Anyone?
I am guilty of the bickering and stabbing myself. But I have given every effort imaginable to join those forces against Holland and USA. No real willing partners. Not even in certain area's where it would seem beneficial. I am tired. Tired of trying to band forces together to fight the super powers. Tired of neighbors, who should be allies, choosing to squabble over scraps while H and U continue to grow UNCHECKED!
Russia is now fully committed to repaying China. Not because of his stab, but because since we started talking, he has continued to turn a blind eye to Holland and disregarding the fact that he COULD make a difference. Every unit I have will now be thrown in that direction. If people, namely Austria choose to gobble up my centers as I redirect them then my point to this press will only be amplified. If France continues to be the patsy to these two powers, then I say hike that skirt up higher and bite the pillow a little harder. Soon they will swallow you up as well.
End this now, so I don't have to watch 7 players watch as their lack of awareness and desire to counter 2 players bites them in the ass.
USA and Holland - well done. Not sure how you got to that point before I joined, but what ever spell you cast over the rest of us deserves my applaud.
Dave I am coming for you...

| DC129 - Spring 07 Deadline Reminder - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Hola all,
Its been brought to my attention that an opportunity to call an end to
the fighting is at hand. I would like to propose an end to the
hostilities in Europe by requesting a vote for a 4-way draw between
England, France, Russia, & Myself.
It has been a tough war, with losses on all sides and if it continues
I see even a greater loss of life between the Anglo-French Alliance &
the Russo-Turk Alliance.
Please, let us call an end to the fighting, by voting on this next
round of orders a yes/no decision for an 4-way draw.
(If that is okay be you, Trout, of course)
Tory the Turk
