| DC-198 Summer Mayhem Fall 1905 Adjudication - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
All,
Thanks for getting all orders in on time.
My deployment has been very poorly coordinated, and I'm not really sure if I'm leaving on time. In light of that, I'll be setting standard 24 hour retreat and build/disband deadlines. If I end up traveling this weekend, I'll let you all know so the delay won't be totally unexpected. I'll still try to do everything on time from whatever hotel I stay at, but no promises!

You have until 2359 UTC on August 21st to have your orders in to The Q
for Stardate 2371.1 (Spring).[Reply] |
| Dc199 FRANCE - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Dc199ers
One one hand I blame myself. I normally can get a 24 hour warnign to remind people the deadline is coming.
On the other hand, I have urged players to send prelims after they see the adjudication, the dealdine is included in the adjudication and on the Dc199 game page at www.diplomaticcorp.com and i record the deadline on the site so it shows in the player's personal profile.
and still France sent NO builds in.
France - you have 24 hours to submit build or you will be replaced in this game.

Corrections!
A Russian order got typoed and a glitch in the .map file failed a move that should have succeeded. No major changes, but Russian F Bar-Nwg and British F Sar-Gme both succeed.
The replacement map file (dated 8/14/0 is available at: http://mainecav.org/diplomacy/imperial1841
The Zip has been updated with the new .map file as well.

| DC191 Study In Baltic - Fall 1904 - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Heya gang,
Tonight is a story of cousins, mucho cerveza and an extremely slow connection to the internet - here on Trout's side of things. Apologies but I will have to send out the map and RP files for the turn tomorrow. In the meantime, however, we see Poland make some daring moves while Russia responds in kind.
There's one retreat from Russia due - I have prelim retreat orders in hand already but I'd like to give Chris some time just in case this gets to him before he leaves on his quick vacation. Deadline for Early Winter 1904 retreats will be set for Friday, August 15th (11:59 PM GMT).
As always, please let me know if you spot any errors. I will send out the map files as soon as the internet permits me to. =P
Cheers!

| PS s11 results! - no more safe harbor? - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
This years highlight centers around the multinational convoy – clear from Boeotia to the Roman peninsula, involving no fewer than 3 fleets to accomplish what was previously an unheard of feat of technology for these little triremes… Those darn Greeks and their ingenuity. Word has it that the previous “safe harbor” policy of the Roman city-states may be changing…

| Dip White Wolf Move Update - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
All,
Sorry to make this such a broad distribution, and hopefully nobody got it more than once. You all deserve an update on my move, whether you're a player in one of my games or a GM for me. Here it is:
I am leaving in the morning for Georgia. I will likely be on the road for two days, and then praying I have an apartment once I get there. Assuming I do, I will frantically spend all of Monday unloading a 16 foot moving truck, just so I can pass out and report to my new job early Tuesday morning.
Assuming that all goes to plan, I hope to have internet hooked up in my new place very soon after moving in. We all know how the big internet providers can be, so who knows when that will be with any certainty.
I will definitely keep everyone updated as things progress and as I have availability of a connection, but I hope to be online again by Wednesday, 20 August at the latest. (Here's to hoping!)
Thank you all for your patience and deadline adjusting,
Andy (The White Wolf)

The prophesies were correct.
The South has risen again.
First off, I started off this game looking down the shotgun at Cuba. If I were to give a recommendation on this map, I would say you have to put some space between Havana and Miami. I know they are close in real life, but man, its just too close. There can be almost no chance for trust in that relationship unless they could put another sea zone in between them. I know that means that might mean compromising the geographic integrity of the map, but we do that all the time anyways.
One funny little note. As I started playing, I would often sign off as Jeb Bush who was the governor of Florida and President Bush's brother. I wasn't trying to trick anyone, I was just having fun. But apparently, Peru did not know of the second Bush in Florida. Instead, Peru thought that I was Texas, and proceeded to tell me his plans to entangle Cuba and Florida. I thought I would play along, see what he had to say. It revealed little other than that he was trying to get Texas on his side to go against everyone else. I think he eventually figured out that I was Florida and not Texas, and he cut off correspondence with me. Which was fine by me, since Mexico and Cuba were working on eliminating him. A question to the more experienced players: Do yall think that I should have done as I did and allowed him to believe I was Texas instead of Florida, or do yall think that I should have just corrected him when he first made the mistake (even though he had already revealed that he wanted to send Cuba to tangle with me)?
Instead of Cuba being my first engagement, I turned away from the Caribbean to the West. Cali pushed me towards Texas, and I eventually saw Tex as a better bet for an attack. I supposed Cuba was expecting a stab. Especially when Felix had to leave the game, I figured Jason would be pretty suspicious of my position. Putting Cuba off, I was able to expand into Texas rapidly with Ray's help. Bruce helped me out from Mexico into San Antonio and I felt pretty good. First mistake. Tex was pretty angry about my stab, and I apologize if I did anything dishonorable (in the context of the game). I was also surprised, as I think everyone was, by Tex not concerning himself with my continuing attack. Does anyone know what happened?
From there, I turned back towards Cuba. After routing Texas, I had struck up what I thought was a good relationship with Bruce down in ol' Mexico, and Ray, even if pushy, was still apparently my ally since we had fought Texas. As I mentioned, Peru had cut off correspondence with me, a foolish move since Cuba and Mexico made it their first priority to destroy him. It should have been clear to him that I wanted to wipe Cuba out of the picture. I'm still not sure why he didn't give up bs that we had started out the game with. Either way, it worked out for me that Cuba was throwing everything he had at Peru. And there was no reason for me to contact him. What could he offer me? That he would keep fighting for his life. He was going to do that anyways. Plus, had I contacted him before the stab, he could have warned Cuba and messed things up for me.
So I sprung on Cuba, and did pretty well. Things were going well, and I was still feeling good.
And that's when it happened. Cali started his march eastward, and Mex, who I thought would not betray me since he allowed me to enter into San Antonio without any promises, took California's request to come after me (understandably). In my builds, I turned towards defending my mainland SC, thinking Cali was the main danger to me, and I ignored the surviving Cuban unit. I'm not sure if this was a mistake. Cali was the most dangerous player for me, but Cuba almost made a come-back at my expense. Ray and I played tit for tat until he surged into my sphere. For the most part, I think there was little I could do to change this.
At this point, I would like to ask for some more advice. I believe that the reason that people turned on me at that point was because I had expanded too quickly, and Mex wanted to balance my growing power with an aggressive California. Is that correct? Bruce, I'd love to hear what your response?
For the next few turns, my strategy was pretty simple. I threw everything I had at Cuba in exile and did not worry much about Mexico. I knew that I could not make a deal with Cuba since I had stolen all his home SC's. He would attack me until he got them back. But for Bruce in Mexico, the situation was not so clear cut. Of course, he wanted to expand, but the main reason (as I understood it) Bruce had turned on me was pressure from Ray. If Bruce expanded rapidly, my best hope of not being quashed was getting Ray to turn on the growing Bruce.
With that logic I resisted as best I could for a couple of seasons, but there was little that I could do. Ray continued to promise me that he was done fighting me and that I could resume my war with Mexico, yet somehow I kept losing SC's to him. Then, in May, Ray was staking up SC's like Homer Simpson in a doughnut shop (we'll say Tim Hortons in honor of Canada's contributions to obesity in the Western Hemisphere), and he stabbed Bruce.
Simultaneously, we voted on a draw and he was the only one to not voice his choice publicly, making it appear like he was in full-blown solo mode. To be fair, I originally voted for the draw, and I was sincere. But, I changed my mind at the last minute (I voted for the war, before I voted against it?). I'm not really sure if Cali voted for the draw or not, but would love to know.
After that, Bruce came knocking, asking if I wanted to team up with him and Andrew, who I had not yet had any contact with. I signed up immediately, and we turned everything we had on Cali, after mostly finishing off Cuba.
It was great working with Andrew and Bruce in the end. For a while, I thought Andrew might go for the solo. Bruce and I had some bumps throughout the game, but we worked them out in the end. But I enjoyed playing with everybody, and would like to thank yall for making this a great game.
As for the game, I would repeat that Cuba and Florida need more space. Otherwise, I agree with Bruce: there are a lot of chances for fleets and convoys in the Caribbean, particularly for a peninsular power with an island power one space away. But over all I enjoyed this game. From Florida, I feel like a solo is possible, if you work on defending your mainland territory in those states south of the Mason-Dixon line, and focus on expansion to the south.
And I can't thank our GM enough for all those great fortune cookies.
Look forward to seeing yall in another game,
Lee
Moore
