Dc239 Spring 1901 - TheWhiteWolf (Mar 02, 2009, 3:38 pm)

Hey everybody,
Thanks for all the patience. Thanks especially to Stephen for holding down the fort while I was away. I'm ready to resume GM duties immediately, as I'm finally fully online.

Stephen's deadline will stand, and I'll re-adjust the time zone once I set the next deadline.

Thanks everyone,
The White Wolf

Dc239 Spring 1901

Well I feel that you've waited long enough for your first moves by me. Here is Spring 1901

Fall 1901 Deadline will be next THURSDAY 5th March at 7pm, Australian EST.
This is the interesting thing though... I am going to ask you to send your moves to me at stevelytton(at)hotmail.com ([email]stevelytton(at)hotmail.com[/email]) and to Andy at cloudhurler77(at)yahoo.com ([email]cloudhurler77(at)yahoo.com[/email])

This way, if Andy is back online he can run the turn for you.. if his online status is still not connected, then i will run the turn. Also - Andy might re-set the time of the deadline because he is in Texas, US but you'll get some warning for that.

DC-239 GM is Mostly Back - TheWhiteWolf (Feb 18, 2009, 5:26 pm)

Folks,
I'm sorry to say that I won't be fully online until about 2 March. Since I live so far outside the city, the satellite technician can't come out until then. The deadline, in this light, will be 3 March. I will send out a reminder and order receipts as soon as the technician leaves my house on the 2nd.

Very very sorry once again!
Wolf

Folks,
Well, we're back in Texas now, and we've pretty much gotten our household set up. Unfortunately, the house we're holding is way out in the country, and we can only get TV/Internet service through a satellite company (in this case, DirecTV.) They appear to be terribly slow with setup, and won't be out here to connect us until the second of March.
Our next door neighbor has been good enough to let us leech from his connection until then, but only my wife's computer is able to connect, due to his security settings. I'll try to transfer all my Dip files to her computer until our connection is up, so I should be able to continue relatively unhindered. However, I'm not going to ask my wife to give up her Dip games and the MMO she plays just to let me spend hours on game emails, so I may be a bit terse for the next couple weeks.
I will still be able to give receipt for all your orders, and send adjudications. Please just be patient with me a bit longer until I have a chance to transfer those files. We're still unpacking, after all.

Thanks for your patience,
The White Wolf

DC-239 House Rules - TheWhiteWolf (Feb 07, 2009, 2:07 pm)

I've had a request to mail out my house rules. They are, of course, posted on the DC website, but here they are for your convenience.

Wolf

I'm a Firefly fan and proud! Read my fiction:

=========================================

House Rules, Simplified
24 Dec 2008

In no particular order:

1. All standard rules of Diplomacy apply. Specific version of the rulebook is insignificant; however, all GM rulings stand.

2. Delays will be kept at a minimum. Missing a deadline (even by a few minutes) will result in punitive action. The first missed deadline will earn a public warning and an NMR. The second missed deadline will result in immediate replacement.

2a. If a country stands at less than three Supply Centers at the time of the second missed deadline, the player will not be replaced. Instead, the country will be placed in Civil Disorder until all remaining SCs are captured by other powers.

3. Personal attacks against other players or the GM will not be tolerated. Any player known by the GM to have made an attack of this nature will be given one warning, and ejected from the game upon a second offense.

4. Extensions will be allowed or denied on a case-by-case basis by the GM. Extensions on the current turn are strongly frowned upon, but will still be granted if the GM deems it detrimental to the game to do otherwise. Do not dispute any GM ruling on an extension, as the GMs word is final in this matter.

5. Player or GM impersonation is strictly off limits, and will be cause for immediate ejection of the offender from the game.

6. All order sets should be emailed directly to the GM, and only the GM, with the following Subject Line template: "[Game Number] [Season and Year] [Country] [Version Number]". For instance, "DC 222 Spring 1901 Germany Version 1", or some semblance thereof. Any order sets not emailed directly and solely to the GM, or with an inappropriate Subject Line, are not guaranteed to be accepted.

6a. If a receipt of orders is not received for an order set in a reasonable amount of time, the player should assume that the orders were not received and resend. If an NMR is announced for a turn, and the player does not have an order receipt from the GM, the NMR will stand.

6b. Only one order per unit per season will be accepted. If the last received order set for a season contains more or less than one order for a given unit, that unit will remain unordered for that season.

6c. All order sets should contain a full set of orders. If a subsequent version of orders is sent (i.e., Version 2,) previously received orders will be completely disregarded, regardless of completeness of the most recently received order set. No assumptions will be made as to player intentions for a unit thus unordered.

7. In the case of a multi-coastal province, where a fleet is involved, a coast must always be specified. Failure to specify a coast in such a situation will result in the fleet remaining unordered. Again, no assumptions will be made as to player intentions in such a situation.

8. If an error exists in an adjudication, the mistake must be brought to the GMs attention before the subsequent deadline. If an error remains after the next deadline, it will stand.

9. Any End Game state may be proposed by any player at any time. Only proposals made directly and solely to the GM will be considered official proposals. All End Game proposals will be voted on by all remaining players. All proposals must be unanimously voted on by all remaining players to succeed. A player may vote no even to a proposal that player put forward.

9a. If multiple proposals all pass unanimously in the same turn, draws including fewer players or solos will take precedence over draws including more players.

9b. At no time can an eliminated player be part of a draw or have a vote in a draw. Only active players can vote in a any draw proposal.

9c. If a game appears to be stalemated, the GM may choose to declare the game a DIAS if there appears to be no substantial change to the board dynamics for 4 consecutive turns (2 game years.) This rule is most likely to apply where some power(s) have demonstrated a stalemate line that cannot be broken given a fixed set of defensive orders. If the No Substantial Change rule is to be invoked, the GM will notify the players after the 2nd season (1 game year) of effect, allowing the players at least one full year to consider the implications of a potential stalemate. Any declared stalemate will be a DIAS where all players in control of at least 1 supply center will share equally in a draw. Some things that may break a stalemate are: The capture of a supply center; Dislodging a unit; or Player request, with explanation of why the game is not stalemated (ultimately at the GMs discretion.)

10. In any situation not covered in these House Rules, the GM has final say. If a player remains unsatisfied by the GMs ruling, that player may request that the GM consult the DiplomaticCorp moderators. The GM will always honor this request, if made, regardless of the situation.

DC-239 Thanks! - TheWhiteWolf (Feb 07, 2009, 2:03 pm)

Folks,
Darryl brought up a good point. There is no firm deadline yet, as I'm moving next week. However, expect the deadline to be sometime the week after next. Get your orders in accordingly, because I plan to set a deadline as soon as I have an internet connection at my new place. The deadline may be as short as a couple days at that point, because you will already have had ample time to negotiate.

DC-239 Distribution List Test - TheWhiteWolf (Feb 06, 2009, 8:26 am)

Folks,
I'm testing my new DC-239 Distribution List. I'd like you all to reply to this email within 48 hours, to verify that I have the correct email address and that my distro list works. (I don't think the Mods need to do so, as I'm sure I've got your addresses right.)

Thanks,
