Good day all

It seems I am much more of a traditionalist that I thought. I had major difficulties wrapping my head around this game and its map. Additionally, I have used jDip to adjudicate my games so long that switching to RealWorld seemed like a trip to the dentist. The only real problem, in my less than humble opinion, is the lack of real purpose for armies. I am not sure how the game could be altered to reasonably employ two types of units - maybe an unwritten rule that fleets:armies ratio must be maintained to meet some arbitrary level, but, in retrospect, no one would like being told what to build and it would make builds predictable, though not any less predictable than they were (unnnh, maybe I will build another fleet this season...)

I apologize to everyone for my rather low level of press in this game - normally I am much more on top of things but I ran into a few health issues that took me away from many things that weren't essential.

Thanks to our GM for keeping things running smoothly.

Good luck to all in future games!

Cheers,
Tom

[/quote:b2949aa700][/quote:b2949aa700]Dear fellow ambassadors,

Earth rejoices to announce that all races of the universe have agreed to our
proposed treaty. We send our warmest greetings and invite you all to attend
a dinner to celebrate the new galactic peace. Long has Earth
sought tranquillity for the universe and now that all nations have agreed to
our proposal a new age of harmony can begin.

Greg
Retired Earth Ambassador

P.S.
Thanks for the game everyone. I found everyone in this game great to play
with and hope to see you in future games. The map was different I guess,
with the theme leading to some great diplomatic dialogue. There were a lot
of supply centres though and I think that this made it easy to create
stalemate lines that ultimately shut down the game so that nobody could
progress.

The vote for a 4-way draw between the powers of the Centauri, Minbari,
Terrans, and Vorlon has passed. One player buried his vote in his orders
and it escaped my notice until just now.

Gentlemen, thank you for playing. My thanks to the Narn and Shadow players
especially for sticking it out to the end.
