All,


First off - I suck at writing long posts about what's happened in the game. I'm getting to be senile enough so that I can't remember what happened in the game last week, let alone at the start of the game.


Second: A big thank you to Joey, our tireless GM who kept track of who had and who hadn't sent in orders in time - right up until the last turn when I was the culprit. Thank you for running this game Joey.


Third: Congratulations to Tim who managed to Solo - not something that happens everyday.


Fourth: All others - we all sucked. How could we let Tim manage to Solo?


Fifth: My position. Struck out early by the Austrian, while trying to take out the Peter the Turk. Well - we managed to take Peter out, but it cost me my position. From then on I just played to survive, which I did manage in the end. Being a puppet to Austria / Russia - they basically dictated where I should go I didn't have all that much heart in the game. We did have our internal battles though and I could have been taken out by them, but in the end I did manage to survive, although not much more.

Congratulations, Tim - apology accepted!  Well played.
 
Thanks to Joey for all the efficient work & for keeping me in the loop.

Hi all:
That was good game!
I would like to thank our first time GM who did a kick ass job and made it possible.
When I ask myself what was the most memorable thing about our game I always think about poor England who ended the first year with enemy fleets in the channel and the north sea and a German army in yorkshire. This had to be the worst start I have EVER seen for England!
Even though this game is called diplomacy, the Prime Minister almost refused to engage in it and France too for that matter. Between those two I got 10 words in response max. Hats off to the Kaiser and the king of Italy who fought a good fight and played it out to the end. Apoligies to the Sultan who I think I could have worked well with. And of course thanks to the ArchDuke whose support made victory possible(he he). Seriously this was Ross's first game and I think he is going to have some great games in store for him.
Anyway thanks again all and I hope to
face you all again.
Tim.
Tsar of all Russia.

Hey everyone,
 
Sorry for the delay. Long day yesterday. We have reached the end, after 20 years of play, the Russians have taken half of the SCs and have become the champions. Congratulations Tim, and thanks everyone else for playing. You can reply to this or go on the DC280 forum and talk about the finish and anything. It was a great first GM experience, and I hope to run into you all again in the future!
