| Dc189 Winter 857 forgotten press - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
apologies to the plater(s) involved.. I missed this
PRESS
All: I am up for any draw that includes the 6 finalists and have been voting accordingly.
Wales & Britons: If the game continues I think the way to go is to form a WBA vs. DNS. The three largest vs. the three smallest. This would expedite the ending and we have worked well together thus far. The Danes would crumble fairly quickly with pressure from the south and the Scots are going to be receding every year until the game is over. Shall we? We should quickly get to the point where the DNS would be willing to accept survival over elimination. To really expedite things we could suggest a WBAN vs. DS. But I would rather the former. The three of us should be able to balance so that no one of us is threatening a solo for fear of the other two.
Wales: Will keep on supporting Ayr-Arg. If it looks like you are going to gain a SC (Arm or Arg) may I take Che? I could use another fleet. Bouncing in Wil works fine, let's do it.

PRESS
Britons speak,
To Welsh,
Ah, the first stumbling block. I am NOT positive to having 3 fleets positioned vs Cel. I could live with a fleet in Bri, but not Cor as well. To be frank, Cor feels very threatening. I humbly ask you to pull that unit away.
To Angles,
Unless a draw passes, we might have to do something like that. I also agree that we would need some kind of guarantees within such a coalition.
To Norse/Danes,
I do not wish to fight either of you, especially not Danes whom I've worked very well with this far. However, if draws keep getting voted down, something must be done and the Angles suggestion is probablly the easiest one to do. I cincerely hope it does not come to that.
To Scots,
Nothing personal, you simply ended up in front of my units.
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com fficeffice" />
Angles and Britons, I am all in favor of the three major powers banding together against the three minor ones, should the Norse, Danes and Scots persist in prolonging this senseless carnage. In that case, a three-way draw sounds more than fair to me.
Angles, if I take ARG, you can have SUS. I'm also willing to support you into ARG, if you prefer.
Britons, support into LOU is appreciated. <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" />F ST. moved away from KER, just to keep things as cordial as possible. I think we're on auto pilot next turn.
-Wales
Wales/Britons: Waiting for your response to my WBA vs. DNS idea. A 6-way draw is fine with me too.
Wales: Let's keep up the bump in Wil and will continue to support your A Ayr - Arg.

let me know. In the meantime, forcing GAL seems like the next order of business, which in turn requires us to get our armies out of the way of our fleets!
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />
Angles, we're set with our two auto-moves. If there's anything you want to switch as our foes force us to press north, let me know. At this point, your expansion is more important than mine.
-<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" />Wales
Britons speak,
To Welsh,
Good thing to see ST withdrawn....but I would like Cor to sit in Dev rather than in Cor. Bri is no issue I think. Let's grind the Scots to dust.
To Angles,
Good to see that we are still on par. I'm not sure if the Danes will try and hit you...I hope not. Another possible configuration would be for Danes to join you me and Welsh and push against the Norse and Scots. That would boost his score considerably.
To Danes,
What do you think about turning on Norse? I think it's very doable, and if you do withdraw Dre (if you need more forces vs Norse), then I would withdraw Hol to Fla and Fla to Bur or Pic. You would boost your score considerably and also clear the way for a 4-way draw. Do consider this.
All: Still Voting for all Draws.
Britons/Welsh: OK, shall we? You both are pressing the Scots already. I am keeping the Norse/Danes occupied in Fir/Lot. The only thing that remain is for the Britons to hit the Danes from the South and we start coordinating around Dog, no?
Wales: I took Sus as I am in need of another Fleet and you added Arm. Make sense? I am happy to give it back and delete an army in 859. I don't think I can order A Lot - Arg with Per and Fir occupied by 'The Others'. I will support A Ayr - Arg in the mean time.
- Angles
WAB vs DNS contains significant risks : if WA stay as close as now, 3 way could become 2 way. If A wishes he can snap up several W dots in a year. If WB commit heavily against DNS that becomes a serious possibility. Gains gainst DNS are unlikely to be even, again increasing the change of a single country becoming a clear leader.
Danes to Norse: I will defend and hope that if a draw is not agreed, stab(s) will occur betwen WAB.
Danes to Britons: I hope our good terms continue. I doubt that you can easily make progress against me, without exposing your Irish centres to the Welsh.
Norse press. Well I am voting yes, seems clear to me that the only person not voting yes for this would be someone who thought that they were going to be in with a shout at winning the whole show... that is not going to be one of the 3 smaller powers.
Norse to Scots. A to GRA will support ARG so you can free up a fleet elsewhere.

End Game Proposal 2 - DIAS with DCI scoring Passed.
YES, congratulations - the War for Ancient England and the Continent has ground to a halt with our 6 remaining players already thinking about the next and final game in the DCI 2008 (more on the second game in the next email)
Our Final Standings
Drawn 1st - Angles, Britons, Welsh, Norse, Danes, Scots
Joint 7th - Irish and Picts
9th - Sxaons
10th - Frisisans
DCI Scoring
Angles, Britons, Welsh - 10 SC each score 6 points.
Norse - 8 SC score 4 points.
Danes and Scots - 6 SC score 2.5 points each.
Irish, Picts, Saxons and Frisians score 1 point each.
and now our cast (working up in DCI scoring)
The Danes were played by Nigel Phillips. As at the start of the 2008 DCI, Nigel was currently ranked 16th in DC. Nigel was invited to play as the winner of the 2008 Winter Blitz Tournament.
The Scots were played by Clark Landry. Clark was ranked 5th in DC and was invited to play as one of the six top players in DC.
The Norse were played by Lee Taylor. Lee was also invited to play as one of the top six players in DC and at the time of the start of the tournament was ranked 7th.
The Welsh was played by DC heavyweight Jorge Saralegui. Jorge was invitied to play as one of the top six players in DC and was ranked 9th in DC. I thank Jorge for his entertaining comments and emails to me as the game progresses.
The Angles were played (very well I thought) by DC newcomer, Dan Dzikowicz (did i get that spelling right Dan?). Dan was ranked 23rd in DC and was invited as best ranked newcomer to the club. (fortunately for Dan, Clark who was also in the running for best newcomer moved himself up the table and into the game leaving a spot for Dan.)
The Britons were played by another DC heavyweight and recent solo winner, Mikael Johannson. This is Mikael's second DCI (finishing second to Mike Sims last year). Mikael was invited as one of the top players in DC and was ranked 3rd in DC at the time the tournament started (1st was Mike Sims and 2nd was myself - ineligible to play).

Dear all,
Please excuse the lack of discourse.
Your friendly french leader has in the last 30 days moved across country, started a new job, had a baby, bought a home, quit said job, and moved again. Proper invitations to join the justice league will be sent shortly. If all would kindly refrain from attacking me in the interim it would be much appreciated.

Subject: Dc214 DCI Round 2
Gentleman
I am very pleased to announce that all 7 players have (reluctantly!) agreed to play in this second very cutthroat game of the 2008 DCI. Please confirm receipt of this email by Monday 8th so I know you are receiving the emails.
I have assigned countries randomly (although was tempted to let Clark choose since it seems to be his birthday - Happy Birthday Clark!). The only rule was that Mike Sims and Mikael could not play a country they played in last year's DCI (which did not end up being a factor).
Our first deadine is Spring 1901 which will be due Monday 15th October, 5pm Australian EST.
A reminder of the points structure for the DCI is.
1st 7
2nd 6
3rd 5
4th 4
5th 3
6th 2
7th 1
With a draw, averaging the points between the draw recipiants. Acheiving a solo will also net a bonus 3 points.
The current standings are:-
Mike 1 point
Clark 2.5 points
Nigel 2.5 points
Lee 4 points
Dan 6 points
Jorge 6 points
Mikael 6 points
Our country assignments are
Mike mike(at)southwall.com ([email]mike(at)southwall.com[/email]) France
Clark clarklandry(at)gmail.com ([email]clarklandry(at)gmail.com[/email]) Germany
Nigel nephilli99(at)hotmail.com ([email]nephilli99(at)hotmail.com[/email]) Russia
Lee leewarrentaylor(at)yahoo.co.uk ([email]leewarrentaylor(at)yahoo.co.uk[/email]) Austria
