| DC116 Vogon's Revenge - Early Winter 1905 - Prelud... - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Tyrrhenian waters, against hull, were a-drumming
The Turk's fleet in retreat from its drubbing
But the Captain didn't know
Where the boats were to go
For no orders, from command, were forth-coming
------------------------------------------
No retreat was received from Turkey so the fleet in the Tyrrhenian Sea is removed OTB. Russia orders Vienna OTB as well while, in the west, Germany retreats to Ruhr. Due to the two disbands, Russia and Turkey both gain 2 builds during the Winter phase. We'll set the deadline for after the weekend, on Monday, October 29th (11:59 PM GMT).
Cheers everyone! Greg, please drop me a line to let me know all is okay and that you're still with us. =)

yeah i saw that 'misorder' the problem was that you also had wbs s armso i had to take one over the other and since wbs is a more valid move
obviously
i had to disregard ebs
it would not have mattered
as poland would have taken rum next turn
gg otherwise!!

Felix,
Well that's the last time I play on a map where I don't see the
territory names for every move! I can't believe that you gave Poland
the win when it was obvious that I switched WBS & EBS. The move of
WBS -> Rum would have stopped the solo. UGH!
EOG for Ukr:
I'm writing this before reading Israel's because I'm sure he's got
some not-so-nice things to say about me and my play.
The fight with Byz & Bur took a lot out of me. I'm watching The
Godfather while typing this... and Poland definitely made me An Offer
I Couldn't Refuse. I finally won my war and made a quick stab move on
Poland. He saw it coming I guess, and made moves that would have
hamstrung me totally. So, I turned around and moved on Israel. At
the time, both were just about even, although Isr seemed a little more
powerful and better positioned.
I still stand by that choice. It just happened to turn out that
Poland was able to keep growing and Isr got stuck in the mud. We
battled it out around the Black, and that's where the game ended.
On thing about the end, though: I flipped EBS & WBS around. Pol had
left Rum open for me, and it was obvious that was my intention, but
the orders got flipped and Felix processed them as written. My fault,
of course; but a bad way to end the game. I'm not sure if Rum was the
final center for Poland, but if was, well, then Poland didn't even
want the game to end.
Good game all. Very surprised to see the names attached to the players!

| Guns, Germs and Steel Fall 1865 - Slight Delay - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Hi folks,
We have a delay due to baby. Congratulations to Eric's future sister-in-law for the birth of a new-born baby girl last night. While it isn't in Eric's immediate family, I'm sure we all know how much a frenzy this occasion is for the whole family. Hopefully the cigars are being passed around.. =)
Eric has promised orders tomorrow once he gets back home. In the meantime, I *highly* suggest the two other powers that have yet to submit orders *cough Confederates cough Prussia cough* take advantage of the opportunity to do so.
Might I take this time to remind everyone that preliminary orders are strongly encouraged. *wink wink, nudge nudge*
There will be no further grace period past tomorrow evening at 11:59 PM GMT. Players that have failed to submit orders by that point will be replaced.
Thanks,

Subject: DC 106 ABS EOG Poland
Felix, publish this please. Thank you.
Poland Last Statement
First of all, I would like to thank all players, especially Felix. It was a great game, and I really enjoy it. This is my first solo in online Diplomacy game.
In the beginning of the game, I have thought of invading Ukraine. But Ukraine’s friendly signal by supporting me to MUS and the rumors that Poland would invade Ukraine, made me decide not to attackUkraine. It was fortunate because if I attacked Ukraine in 1902, I would have been killed by Hungary early. That began my long war with Hungary.
During the war, I also noticed the war between Eire and Burgundy. I realized that no matter who win the war, the winner will attack me sooner or later. And if they went into some reconciliation, I would fell into a deep trouble. So, I encouraged them to fight by announcing neutral in the beginning. When Burgundy was losing because of the attack from Hungary and others, I turned to support Burgundy and attacked Eire, in order to maintain the balance between two, and kept them fight
Then the fog came.
I was surprised that Eire gave up NWG and NTH. Perhaps he thought he could attack my inland SCs with the cover of fog, and believed he could eliminate Burgundy very soon. But he was wrong. Instead, he gave me a big opportunity against him. In result, my army landed on England on 1907 Spring, which marked the imminent death of Eire.
1907 was a critical year.
Although Eire failed to invade my northern hinterland, he successfully convinced Ukraine invade me in 1907 since my A MUS moved into KAR against possible Eire’s landing and I didn’t cover MUS. Ukraine thought this was a good opportunity against me. But other players didn’t know it, not only because of fog, but also because both of us didn’t want others to know. I worried that this would give hope to other players; I guess Ukraine would have worried a stab from Israel. So, I said I gave Ukraine MUS to support his attack on Israel; unable to announce war with Poland, Ukraine thanked me. This conversation was successful, not only dissimulated our war status, but also damaged the relationship between Ukraine and Israel. At the same time, I decided to reaped the fruited I sowed on the land of Eireand Burgundy, and finished the war with Hungary. In winter 1907, I got three builds, despite losing MUS to Ukraine; and by Spring 1908, I got 7 armies along Polish-Ukraine border while Ukraine only got 3
But I decided not to attack Ukraine. Three reasons: 1. Ukraine had learned the lesson; 2. I worried Israel would attack Ukraine’s empty South; 3. Spain decided to join Israel. Since the fog came, I treated Israela long term enemy. I thought that Spain and Ukraine would attack Israel. This would give me a free hand against the dying Hungary, Burgundy and Eire. But the surrender of Spain forced me to take faster action against Israel and Spain.
Thus, I planned a plot against the alliance. I told Spain that he could ally with me against Israel by achieving some terms. Actually, I can do them all by myself. As the terms were achieved, I thought Israelwould eventually lose trust with Spain. What surprised me was that Spain announced to keep his distance from Israel. That meant he would be more isolated and vulnerable to me.
In the end of the game, even if Ukraine stoped me by going to RUM, the game will end too in the next year, since my armies are going down. I guessed Ukraine would not attack me, that's why I did nothing about RUM and BUL.
Both Eire and Israel failed to stop me, because they attacked their possible allies: Eire attacked Burgundy while asking others to attack me. Israel attacked Ukraine even he realized Poland was his long term enemy. If one of them successfully convinced Burgundy or Ukraine to attack me, I am afraid I would not be able to win solo so early.
Finally, thanks for the game again. And I hope we can we can play again in the nearest future.

Hi folks!
So, you always wanted to be a Knight...
I'm happy to say that after months of laborious work on the part of your fearless mods, the Charter Of The Companions is finally ready for launch. The Companions will add an entirely new dimension to the site, allowing progress through the different ranks based on the amount of games played to completion.
I'll let the Companions pages speak for themselves. I have to say, thanks to Sims' help, these pages are pretty killer. Go to your Diplomaticcorp profile by clicking 'My Profile' on the LH side of the page. There you'll see your current Companions rank and corresponding black and white Icon.
Click on the BW icon and enter the world of the Companions. I hope to see you all there. *grin*

PS - I promised to give a shout-out to the Dipknights of Cat-23 when the Companions came online and running. The whole idea of the Charter was based on that group. That being said, I like to think we've developed it and put a whole new spin on it for Diplomaticcorp.
PPS - Make sure to check out the individual rank descriptions by clicking on the ranks table. This is a part of the group that I'm extremely proud of...[Reply] |

Hi folks,
Unfortunately, our fearless General Lee has failed to show up for battle and, after repeated attempts to contact him, I have sought out and found a replacement for the Confederate position. Everyone, please welcome Jim Atkins to the game. Jim is coming in to make sure that the South does rise again.. =) My thanks to Max for playing out the position up to this point.
We'll give a little bit of time for Jim to negotiate and set the new Fall 1865 deadline for Wednesday, October 31st (11:59 PM GMT.) That's not as much time as I'd like to give him, but I feel its the most I can allow seeing as a) we've already had a long extension on this turn and b) my travel schedule in the later half of this week just plain stinks and Wednesday is the best day for me to adjudicate.
As well, with this set of late orders and subsequent replacement, I definitely feel that my good graces are being taken advantage of. Most of the players in this game lock in prelims way ahead of time and do not deserve these long delays to mar their game experience. I sincerely thank you folks for the patience you have shown. Moving forward in this game, to prevent these delays from continuing, I will change my NMR policy.
From Fall 1865 onwards, late order submission will result in an NMR being handed out to that country. All country units will hold in place. Three NMRs in a row will result in me finding a replacement for that country. IF ANY PLAYER HAS ANY PROBLEM WITH THIS POLICY, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IMMEDIATELY.
Once again, thanks for hanging in there everyone. Hopefully with this NMR policy, we'll be back to popping out the major turns once a week just as before.
Cheers!

Congrats Brian. I wish I would have cared about this game more. The game started just as my job took an unexpected turn for the worse, as most of you know. Then the rest of the summer had me battling my job, looking for a new one, and then finding a new place to live.
I thought the press at the beginning of the game was crucial. The powers that coordinated best I think all made it through. I think I survived, but I haven’t looked at a final map.
My initial intent was not to go towards Poland. But I think I ordered straight north with a unit or two, instead of ordering northwest and west like I did after those early moves north.
I briefly skimmed Poland’s EOG, and I think everything he wrote about our war looked correct.
The map was difficult as I only started with two home supply centers. I had to re-draw the map for Felix at the beginning of the game. That was fun. Not having centers names on the maps was difficult, and having it played with JDIP rather than the usual RP hurt. With games of more countries and provinces than the standard, I like sending out the file. With the FOG though, that couldn’t happen.
Maybe next time, Felix can send out one map with every adjudication that has the names of the provinces on the map.
Thanks Felix for your dedication with this game. I know there were some late submissions, me included earlier on in the game. The PRESS was very timely and the map creation was pretty difficult I bet.
To the rest, let’s do this again sometime.

| dc91 out of the attic - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Ok folks time to dig this one out of the attic, wipe off the cobwebs and polish up the swords… We’ve got a game to play!
Deadline for Spring ’10 is currently set for Wednesday / Halloween. Lee can you confirm you’re back in action… stronger… better… and more well-rested than ever?

| New feature: Location - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Hey everyone,
If you haven’t already, check out the new “My Profile” page of the website once you log in…
www.diplomaticcorp.com
New feature is added, to edit your location… once we have a lot of accurate locations, we can add the option to find other players in your area!
(It only asks for Country, State (if applicable) and City… so it’s still pretty private)

Persistent Turtle
Stricken Again!! Another NMR resulting in anarchy.
Italy bows out [disgracefully].
Russia fights back reclaiming some of the Motherland.
Patrick, unless you have a good reason or some confirmed
orders from me, your game [and time on the site] is done.
Please note deadline information below.

Autumn 1903 Adjustments:
A: +Bul, Tri, Vie, Gre = 4; Gains 1.
E: Bre, Lon, +War, Nwy, Bel, Edi, Lpl, -StP, -Mos = 7; Loses 1.
F: Spa, -Par = 1; Loses 1.
G: Den, Hol, +Par, Mun, Mar, Ber, Kie = 7; Gains 1.
I: Ven, Tun, Nap, Rom = 4; No change.
R: Swe, +StP, +Mos, Sev, Rum, -Bud, -War = 5; No change.
T: Ser, +Bud, Con, Ank, Smy, -Bul = 5; No change.
Builds/Disbands:
G: Builds 1
While Austria gained one center, no home center is available for build.
England owes a retreat for StP. He can choose to disband it or give a retreat order. If he gives a retreat order, he will still owe us a unit to be removed due to losing one center.
Peter, if you wish you can hold giving me your build order until I have England's retreat order. If your build order isn't conditional on England's retreat then feel free to go ahead and turn it in.
Nick - please let me know your wishes by 12pm CST tomorrow [October 30th].
Our deadline for S04 will be Monday, November 5th at 5pm CST. I will be out of the country this week so confirmations of orders will be slow in coming.

| DC101 - Update - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Thank you all for waiting on this game... between fires, and vacations it's been a little while.
I'd like to jump right back into this, but unfortunately our English commander has notified me that he'll have to leave us. What I would like to do is put our choices up to a vote. It seems like it's too early in the game to call a draw; however that is a choice that you may all make at any point in the game, but I see our choices as follows.
1. Proceed with England in Civil Disorder.
2. Seek a replacement for England, pausing further until a player is found.
What does everyone think? Any other suggestion you'd like to voice? Let me know.
