| DC-272 EOG Turkey - pieandmash (Feb 14, 2010, 2:26 pm) |
hey well big thanks to our GM for quite a marathon game.
Playing turkey game me an ace from the start and the luxury of waiting to see the desperate diplomacy in the boot powers. Joe showed that being a boot power can work very well once you have a foot in the door so to speak, or a toe hole.... not unlike standard dip, but perhaps the corners have more advantange in this map- certainly the stalemate lines for me were simple.
My long term alliance with Venice worked very well and I knew i just had to be patient.......
So dislikes of this variant- the province abbreviations- just annoyingly easy to get wrong.
Likes- the map on the whole was interesting. The power bases in the middle crazy mixed up-- making it fierce in there for the begining years.
Suggestions- even up the high risk centre by providing more neutral sc there, or less in the corners...adding more boot provinces perhaps
thanks guys was fun ( and especially thanks to Mike for covering for me)

Guys,
I'm pleased to announce the end of DC-272: Machiavelli Map-Only Play Test. A unanimous YES vote to the T/V draw means you can all feel free to move on to your next challenge. Thanks for participating, and I'd personally appreciate EoG statements. Specifically, since this was a play test, I'd like to see your comments on map balance, what you'd like to see changed, etc. You can send them Reply All or directly to me (I'll send them to everyone). Thanks for playing!
I hope my quotes put you all in mind of the man this variant is named for. At the least, I hope you enjoyed reading them. This final quote says as much about Diplomacy players as any other group of people - I am pleased to acquaint myself with all of you, and hope to run into you many times in future games.

Well, that was fun for a while, tedious at times, and mostly interesting.
I've been around the Diplomacy board for a long time, face-to-face, a few mail games, and rounds of email (of which I've been in more than a few recently, and mostly in spurts of activity.
Obviously I dared to choose Florence for the obvious connections. I've studied Machiavelli, put together a few game concepts, and respect the man as a writer/commentator/political analyst. But then, I don't quote him all that often.
Definite differences between this game and Dip, and this game and the board game. The lack of 'other' options than pure diplomacy definitely changes things up. The reliance on the board seems vastly unbalanced, yet strangely enough I lucked into some early success, and Venice played well in the endgame (as it were, because once Garry turned on me and turned the tide, it was rather obvious where it was headed.)
I did have disappointment in the decided lack of communcation. As Mr. Wolf said, there was leniency in the playtest aspect, and because of that, I think we all strayed from routine. I'm thinking that turned into a decided indifference to give-and-take at the tipping point, but that's my perspective.
Start of game was really intense, and seems to be the most fascinating aspect of the board. Papacy/Florence/Naples is just crazy in the setup. Unfortunately, our dear friend Brutus decided to role-play, and I do admit that was hard to handle. However it did allow for some double-dealing with Nathan, and then a "I can't believe the opportunity" moment when I saw five centers open and a major stab of my Napolitan ally ensued.
(As an aside, I did get harsh in tone and words with Brutus. No major regrets, but my main point is that a game is a game, and if someone chooses to be a pompous .... well, a pompous character, when everyone else is playing the game and not playing a character, there comes a time when you begin to grate on nerves, and not enhance the enjoyability of the game. At that point, elimination is the goal. Sorry.)
Well, to be honest, Nathan specifically alerted me to how badly things were going with Turkey, and not exactly studying the entirety of the board, I leapt at the info, realizing that I could more than cripple Naples and would have to race Turkey for centers down south regardless. Strangely enough, there was no coordination between myself and Max, but we vanquished Naples nonetheless.
Was it wrong? Well, in hindsight, without a solid border north and without the proper array of forces, and a laxadaisical effort, it didn't turn out well! Also, taking the center lead with that massive gain, especially at that point of the game, and not enforcing a strategy doomed me.
I went for balance, and with the chaos builds and the impossibility of holding back builds and the lack of restrictions on it meant taking a guess. As I foolishly indicated to Garry, I was horribly out of position. (Yeah, I learnt well from what I did earlier with Naples!)
Lack of garrison changes offered no help for me. Also that sea zone spacing really caused strategy issues for me (as well as my two year misreading of adjacency) as I felt the need to see the TS zone, but overcommitted forces and yet was unable to maintain it.
The north seemed interesting enough. I sided with France early, trying to keep a balance weight against what seemed to be a Milan eager to ally with everyone. I mentioned to Nick that the concept of promising other peoples centers for alliance purposes never makes sense. I had a distrust of Milan early, and was eager to work with Venice and France to force him out.
Of course, I was in no way prepared to defend against Venice, and foolishly though I had another turn or two to deal with it.
From there, battling Turkey kept me busy, and there were way too many stabs with Mark and no way to muster the naval forces in the West. I found it odd that Venice/Turkey worked the truce in the East, but it was obviously working and forced me to the draw before I got gobbled up for good.
I will say that the earlier draw proposals were insulting, and definitely would say that a legit offer a month ago would have ended the game accordingly.
Best to all, and I look forward to gaming with you guys in the future.
And special thanks to The White Wolf for running this playtest. I know I had my memory issues, deadline misses and other assorted annoyances like most others.

If my read is correct, this is now a 4-player game. Garry / Joe / Mark / me?
Why are various draws being circulated that will exclude France and/or Florence? Why am I so cool that I'm being included in the various draws? Who is trying to get more than a 4-way out of this, and what is your plan to do so? Am I included in that plan? If so, let's do it. If not, may you burn in a pit of smouldering luke-warm coals until such time as you get annoyed and have to smoulder there longer.

| DC-272 Seeking Replacement Turkey - chaosonejoe (Jan 22, 2010, 1:15 pm) |
Although a new Turkey theoretically gives me more potential than others, I am willing to rescind my "no" vote on the option to give Venice/Turkey a win. I will accept "survivor" status, with France.
I think prolonging this playtest means a vastly different and extended game.

Guys,
I've been informed that Max has had a family emergency, and has to withdraw from the game. I'm putting the game up for recruiting and delaying the deadline until we find our new sultan.

I have all the winter adjustments in early, so I plan to adjudicate tomorrow after work (around 3-ish, give or take.) I just wanted you all to have a heads-up in case you have the last-minute desire to change your build/disband.

I made a mistake in the latest adjudication. Nick submitted a hold order quite a while before the adjudication, which I apparently never entered into RealPolitik or my deadline matrix. I'd like to apologize to Nick, and note that this is not an NMR, but also does not affect the adjudication. Thanks to Nick for sticking with us til the bitter end (despite the GM's inattention).

Guys,
This constant need to chase down your orders is getting a little absurd. I'd to see prelims from you all from here out. Don't expect me to send deadline reminders - if I do, it's a bonus. The deadline is your responsibility, and I really expect better from such an experienced group of players.
I never received an order for Milan's final unit, so we say goodbye to Nick on a slightly sour note. There are no retreats this season, so we move right into winter.
Two draw proposals have been put forward. Please vote on them by the winter deadline.

Draw Proposals:
Venice/Turkey 2-way draw (France/Florence would get survival)
Venice/Turkey/France 3-way draw (Florence would get survival)
A vote requires unanimous approval to pass. One "no" vote or failure to vote will defeat a proposal. If both proposals pass unanimously, the more inclusive draw will succeed (in this case, the 3-way).

Guys,
I'm going to give you all the benefit of the doubt and assume that Yahoo has chosen to block anything with "272" in the subject line. I have ONE set of orders for a deadline a mere 4 1/2 hours away. If this wasn't a playtest, I'd be tempted to NMR the whole lot of you and let the one person who submitted orders have his way with the board (especially since this is not the first time this has happened).
Seriously, guys - if you've lost interest in playing, let me know so I can find someone who will submit orders on time.

Guys,
Nasty storm here in northern Virginia. Things have been crazy all weekend. Sorry I'm putting this out late. I only received two votes on the draw proposal, so it has failed due to abstinence.
Lots of action this round, as Austria's last center is officially lost, France and Venice gain position on Milan (with a Florentine attack of opportunity thrown in), Venice and Florence go head to head, and Turkey holds his ground against a continued Florentine assault.

| DC-272 Deadline Imminent - TheWhiteWolf (Dec 16, 2009, 8:08 pm) |
Guys,
This is getting really old. The deadline for fall is in less than 21 hours, and I have ONE set of orders submitted. I know you guys are all more reliable and timely than this. Is the negotiation really that intense, or is this variant just that dull?
I'm tempted to NMR everyone who doesn't get their orders in on time (which would probably be devastating to the play test), but I'm going to push the deadline back to Friday, 18 December to give you all a shot to submit. Please don't miss this one.

Guys,
I was waiting on a retreat last night, and then it got late so I went to bed. Here's the retreat turn, with both orders handed in. Remember to let me know if there's anything wrong with the map (please double check everything on your end, first), and to vote on the draw proposal!
