| DC 183 : Italy's end of game statement - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
What you may have known-or guessed (but perhaps you didn't), was that Italy and Russia were in an alliance from the start of the game.
Perhaps it was not fair to the other players, however I wanted to protect myself from elimination straight away. I knew when I was assigned Italy (I did ask for what no one else wanted), I was going to fight a losing battle from the start.
Russia and I made an alliance to take out Austria and Turkey right away. The plan was to get England, France and Germany to fight themselves while Austria and Turkey disappeared. Then we would focus our efforts on what remained of England, France and Germany. Russia and I shared information freely, using what we learned from other players to create problems between them. Russia also proved to be a player that was able to create a strategy that almost always worked as planned.
We also used other players to help us in our goal. Since Turkey was in the region, he was brought in to the alliance help attack Austria. Then, as soon as Austria was gone, we started removing Turkey.
As Turkey was finished off, France had proved to be a formidable player. After feeling some pressure, Russia and Italy proposed an alliance with France. The only purpose, of course, to keep France from attacking Russia and Italy-- and to continue the task of removing England. Then, with Turkey out of the game, it was time to concentrate on full removal of England and France.
I was able to start making some inroads into France's territory. But in the end, I was given the same treatment that I gave Austria, Turkey and France.
While I congratulate Russia on a great win, I feel that as a "team mate" in the alliance, I was not given a chance to share in a victory that I helped produce. I readily admit that Russia was "the brains" in our alliance. However, his win was made easier with my help.
I realized after the declaration of the win, that I had completely ignored the fact than anyone who had 18 supply centers would win. I had not even considered that Russia was so close to achieving the 18 SCs, and was caught off guard that the game was over.
This was my first online Diplomacy game, and my first Diplomacy game in 20 years. I have been a fan of Diplomacy since I first played and was pleased to find an active community playing online. I have always felt that the "invisible" communication between countries is a valuable part of the game. Sitting at a table, or even playing in the same room, it is difficult to have discussions and negotiations without all the other players knowing what is going on.
Thanks for a great game, and I look forward to playing more online Diplomacy games.

RETREAT!
Athens must retreat the West Aegean Sea fleet.
BUILD!
Thessalia and Ionia are tentatively +1, so I need a build from each of those…
However, a retreat to Chalcis or Lesbos will negate one of those two builds and give it to Athens instead!
So everyone consider your retreats and builds, and get them to me (including considering the above possible conditions) by Wed 7/23, 10am Pacific!
Thessalia: +1 (maybe)
Ionia: +1 (maybe)
Athens +1 if retreating to a supply center

| DC 183 : France's end of game statement - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
I don't know if any one knows this but this was my first game ever in the DC community. Right after country assignments came out the first person to write me was Russia. We talked about working together and after a few emails we both decided to hold off and see what that put us. England and I began talking and I really wanted to work with him. As you can see from the game that didn't happen. He felt that he couldn't trust me so he went his own way. From there Germany NMR'd and was not replaced. At that point Russia and I decided to work together and then Italy was brought into the alliance ( or so I thought).
I soon began working my way toward England as Russia and Itay started taking out Turkey. Once it was the 4 of us left, Italy told me he would work his way North to help me where he could and Russia and I began heavily working on England. When Italy and Russia stabbed me for 4 of my centers, I knew there would be no recovering from it and my part in the game would end. After the stab I heard once from Italy and never heard from Russia again.
I congrulate Russia on a well planned game but I think Italy should have been included in a draw. If it wasn't for Italy taking my centers Russia would not have soloed as I would have gained more centers.

I should start by thanking Michael for his work in making this game so enjoyable, and of course all the other players for their determination and the numerous communication I had with them that made the game so fun.
This is my third Diplomacy game, and I am proud to have achieved a solo win. Of course my victory would not have been possible without the help of my ally, Craig. Craig gave us a vision of what was going on in terms of goals and startegies for our alliance, so I am not going to repeat that, as I believe his summary was very explanatory.
For completeness sake I'll give some insight on what happened on my side. From 1901 I had made a solid alliance with Italy, and was communicating with other players to obtain information. My goal was to create conflict in the West between Germany, France and England, while I could concentrate on grabing the South East. Everything went to plan and Austria was quickly out of the picture, however my plans had to be modified after Germany simply stopped playing, allowing an easy invasion from France and England. I started to feel the need to construct fleets as I believed that if France and England were allies, I would be the next target of choice. England saw an opportunity to attack me thinking I was planning an attack. Following negotiations with Joao, we were able to agree for a temporary truce, which allowed me to position my fleets before launching an attack on Scandinavia.
At the same time I was communicating with France, requesting their help against England in order to test their alliance. Italy and I also started our attack on Turkey, but with Italy letting me deal the blow. The result being that all players at this stage believed me to be the greatest threat and started forming plans to bring me down. We thus saw the formation of two alliances: England-Turkey-Italy on one side, Italy-France on the other. Italy played the key role at this stage, feeding me information from all other players, including the moves that were planned. Italy also worked to discredit the England-France alliance, and was successful in making France attack England. It wasn't long before Italy supported my attacks on Turkey, which led to Turkey's downfall. Italy and I shared the spoils. France, probably sensing the balance shifting agreed to enter an alliance that included Italy and myself. Of course, for Craig and I, that was the perfect plan, to destroy both England and France.
My victories in the South allow for me to continue building fleets in the North, until I gained an edge against Joao. When France launched an attack on England, it became clear that Italy and Russia now held supremacy over the seas. Our armies moved towards the Munich line, knowing that when we would fight France, we would be strong enough to stop his powerful armies, while Italy's fleet took Iberia and South of France. We accordingly launched an attack on France, and everything went to plan.
This brings us to the final year 1906. Last week I realized that my planned 3 weeks holidays were approaching; I'm leaving to New Zealand on the 25th July, coming back on the 17th August. I personally hate going to cyber cafe, and would not have the time to really play this game effectively for that period of time. My alternative was thus to grab the win or ask for a replacement player. I felt that it would be sad to come so close to victory and forfeiting, so I decided that I would go for the solo. I therefore did the unthinkable and betrayed my one true ally, who had worked so hard to see us grow so strong. I never had any second thought when attacking other countries, but for me to attack Craig was not an easy decision. The ties we had build during the game were so strong that it did not feel right; it still doesn't. So Craig please accept my sincerest apology for this stab; under different circumstances I would not have played this way.
So to conclude this long analysis, I want to put the spotlight on Craig who played Italy perfectly, a country always thought to be the weakest. Through our alliance, we were able to defeat all others; through our wits we were able to formulate flawless strategies; and through our trust in each other, we were invincible. It is that trust that I abused in order to win the game. Thank you for all you've done, and hopefully you can forgive my stab (many would say that's how the game is played; being a bit of an idealist I believe there ought to be other ways). I'm looking forward to playing other games with you, as enemies or hopefully as allies once again. To the rest of you, thank you for a game well played, it will be a pleasure to play with you again in the future; hopefully under different circumstances.
Michael, once again, thank you very much! My win is probably symbolic for you as well; proving that you faced a strong player in DC 117, explaning why you were unable to bring me down after all your efforts! lol 
Cheers,
Nick Cherrier

Me, I began the game with a solid triple alliance (Turkey, Russia and Italy) versus Austria....that's what I tought!
We succceed to beat Austria very rapidly but when we took the last country, Russia attacked me!
I tought that I can form an other alliance(England, Turkey, Italy) versus Russia and France. I was sure that it will work...but it didn't.
Italy and Russia were taking all my countries!!
At that time, I continued to hope that Itlay will attack Russia with me...but it was false impression!
After that, I proposed an other alliance(France, Turkey, England) vs Russia and Italy but it didn't work...an other time.
So, I tried to resist by myself.
I tried a lot of things to survive but finaly, Russia and Italy beat me!
To finish, I want to say that everyone did a very good game and I want to congratulate Nick for his nice solo victory. You did a very good game, Nick!
And I want to thanks Michael for making this game so fun!
Thank you for all players to have done a so interesting game!
I hope to see you in another game soon!
Cheers,
Francis

Greetings from Austria-in-exile. I wish I could say I saw the Russia-Italy alliance right off, but I would be lying. I did see it but only after Russia had seized Budapest in Fall of 1901, and Italy getting Greece that same turn. But by then I knew I'd been had and there wasn't a thing I could do. I suppose I at least have the pleasure of knowing that one of the people that finished me off won. Thank you for at least making my demise quick and painless as I am now in the thick of it in DC192 (Yes, I am playing Austria again, as I chose to play in this one.) Even though my stay in this one was very brief, I hope to see you all in my (hopefully many) future games of this.

Hi folks,
Due to an error in naval signal command, our Swedish friend bought a ticket to the Gulf of Stockholm but his bags arrived in Stockholm itself. I apologize for the error - it was strictly my bad. Please find attached the revised map showing the correct placement of the Swedish fleet in GoS.
The Fall Deadline will remain the same, Thursday July 24th (11:59 PM GMT), unless anyone wishes more time due to this GM error.
Apologies for the confusion everyone,

Ladies and Gentleman
The old Russia has written to me stating that he can no longer continue in the game. Whilst I dont know Dylan's opinion on this matter, I thought that being so early in the game a replacement Russia would be a better option than CD so I have opened the game to recruiting. I am hoping that we will get a russia in the next couple of days and then set the spring 1902 deadline a short time after that.
I know this is another delay and for that i am sorry but I am hoping that a committed russian player is worth it.

First of all, allow me to thank the GM for all his work during this game and for giving us the opportunity to have fun playing it.
Second, congratulations to Russia for his overwhelming solo, proving that the player who communicates more during the game and has a solid strategy from the start to the end usually wins.
Regrettably, I didn't communicate as much as I should during this game, partly because it was my first experience in this community and I wanted to test the waters, reacting more than proposing. So, if in these EOG's my tone is a bit more critical than others, please be assured that the first I'm criticizing is myself! And why be critical? Because Dip games are not supposed to end in 22-sc solo victories in 1906! If it happened, it's not only because of Russia's obviously strong playing, but also because we, the defeated players, allowed it to happen.
The first problem was Germany's absence. It completely shifted the natural balance of Dip. It had two big consequences: First, Russia had not to worry about his potentially most dangerous contender on the board and was free to invest everything in the more secure northern and southwest fronts. Second, France strangely gained Mun in the first year (and was not evicted in the following year!), putting in question the balance of the EF understanding (4 against 6 sc's, with me having additionally to worry about the russian fleet-building in Stp-nc). It also destroyed the strategy I had chosen to put into practice from the start, which consisted on having an EG versus F on the west and an EG versus R on the east, while trying to convince the other powers to put some pressure from their side on F and R. The absence of Germany forced me to reach an understanding with F (after having a fleet on the Channel!) that never was very strong.
The second big moment of the game, from my point of view, came when the supremacy of Russia was evident and his solo eminent. The idea of an ITE alliance, first against Russia and afterwards against France, was proposed. There is, usually, a sort of reflex of players to avoid incoming solos, being able to forget their past differences and unite against the common threat. Unfortunately, this didn't happen, with Italy refusing to abandon his longtime friend. By doing this, Italy gave the game to Russia, I think. Hopes for a 17-17 draw were no longer realistic in that moment, I believe.
Even without the ITE reactive alliance, maybe a strong EF could, at the very least, postpone Russia's solo for a few years. But the EF understanding was never very strong and it became weaker when the ITE plans were passed to France by someone. (Btw, the reason for proposing an ITE instead of a IFTE was as a sort of prize for Italy, since France was preparing to attack him - even so, my proposal was for an ITE with two moments - first, the clear and present danger posed by Russia and only afterwards France.) This led to France's stab on me. Quite frankly, it was incomprehensible to me: To stab a naval power like England when having just two fleets, both positioned on the med, and in a moment where my fleets were the only obstacle to Russia's further expansion on the north - I'm sorry, but I can't se the rationale behind that move.
Again, apologies for the critical tone, but I believe EOG's are supposed to be an analysis of the game and not only nice words - and this, right or wrong, is my analysis. Having said that, thanks to all of you for the game and I hope that in the next games we all, starting by myself, will make life a bit more difficult to the Russias of this game.
Best regards,
João

| Dc194 NEW Russia... yay! - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Ochen Priatna! I am glad to be introduced to all of you. Please excuse the unresponsiveness of the Russian people during our "transition." Now that brotherhood is the guiding principle of our great country I am confident that all future correspondence will be handle in a manner of efficiency representative of our patriotic workers' spirit.
The Russian Workers invite all the proletariat peoples to join in this great struggle against despotism.
Das Vidanya,
Your Comrade and Servant,
Bill Duncan

Germany is on the brink of extinction! Not having a unit, can still
order a seismic for the fall if desired. Plus England convoys back to
the mainland, Turkey plays leap frog with his armies, and the Black Sea
nearly splits the Balkans in two!

| Actually I do mind when people miss turns. So, don't presume to speak for me. And, given my dreadful position on the map, I have nothing to gain from a Russia nmr, so I'm probably the only objective player on the map. [Reply] |

GAME NOTES:
I apologize for the short delay. I was too focused on my slow-pitch softball championship game last night to think of Diplomacy. My team, the Master Batters, pulled off an unthinkable comeback... scoring 7 runs after being down 6 runs with two outs in the last inning... and I celebrated into the wee hours of the morning. It was a great game, played by two great teams in a fitting fashion near the shores of Lake Michigan.
Alas, we are back to the game. There is only one retreat with only available option for retreat. So unless the Turk tells me to disband... I will retreat his unit to Ankara. We'll continue on.

Heya my Baltic Amigos...
Just sending out the vibe that Fall 1903 orders are due in just over 10.5 hours. I believe I have three sets but am missing the one.. Please double-check and make sure that you have a confirmation email from me if you've sent your orders in.
Cheers!
