Life happens and other things are given the priority over games. Mistakes happen. We are all human. Forgiveness, patience and understanding are great attributes to have.
John, I am thankful that you have been the GM of this game. I have no complaints ... except that you aren't telling me all the others' moves before my final orders are submitted.

I don't think Poul was saying negative about John. He was just inquiring.
Anthony.

Poul,

 

Sorry If I took your email the wrong way. Mostly it's just been juggling the 5 diplomacy games. I normally cap out at 3, but circumstances led me to take on a couple more than I prefer. Also, last august the building where I work was destroyed by a tornado, and we are just beginning to actually start breaking ground to rebuild, so there have been a lot of work-related things going on too. I'm not sure how I misplaced the F Aeg, but everything else has been pretty much the result of me trying to do adjucations too quickly and not doublechecking my work.


 

I think things have calmed down a bit. I felt pretty good about this adjucation. This time the missing F aeg must have just been an rp thing or something. I think things might be slowing down a bit. I think this has been a very good game so far. It's been exciting to watch. We'll keep on with business as usual. 


 

And since email is such a rotten method to communicate such things as emotion, I want to let you guys know that none of the questions or comments here bothered me. Don't read any of my responses as upset or angry at all. I'm giving the game what I have to give, and I'm content with that. If others feel like the game deserves more, and want a replacement, that really doesn't offend me at all. And short of replacing me, you'll just get what I'm able to give. I'm at peace with that. I'll try to have as few mistakes in adjucations as possible, but I'm human, and mistakes happen. If people do have an issue with that, they need to play Dip with a electronic judge. For me, I always prefer the live gm, mistakes and all. And again, that's why I gm. It's not an ego trip for me, or even exceptionally enjoyable (though I don't mind it at all). It's just me trying to do my part to give back to the Dip community.


 

Remember to get those fall moves in!

 

John

1. I am not complaining about John. 2. I am asking if there is a problem since he has a lot of errors. That means, 3. That I basically ask the reason. And it is understood, 4. That I would like to know whether it's a Realpolitik problem, a Realworld problem, or another kind of problem.


Try reading my mail again.

Right Daan. I normally will give a bit of grace and accept orders until I begin adjucation. But again, the only way for you guys to be sure your orders will get in is to have them in by the deadline.
 
Thanks!

John

To respond to Jack's question. The deadline counts only for the players. If the orders are send after the deadline, than it doesn't count whether the gm is making some mistakes. At least, that is my opinion.

you're doing a fine job John.  Blitz time does get a little out of hand for people who decide to GM, not to mention your 1st round still going.


I appreciate your work,
Alan Farrington

Poul (and all),
 
Yeah, you are correct. For some reason, my RP file lost your unit there. This makes the attack on bul succeed. And we need a russian retreat from bul (to rum, bla, con or otb). On the attached files, the russian unit in Bul is not there because I had to manually adjust the map.

 
And as to the errors. I'm in 5 dip games right now between GMing and playing, and three of them are blitz games. And thats a bit over my limit. So apologies for that. I keep hoping some of them will end soon! So someone hurry up and win!!!

 
John

Besides the missing support from Aeg to Gre- Bul, you seem to have mislaid Aeg totally. What is the problem actually? You seem to have errors in a lot of judgments?

Hey all,
 
France NMRed, which is odd, since he emailed out his comment to Daan, but I never got any moves for this season from him.
 
So anyway, England stays pretty much the same, Germany swings east with modest progress. Russia and turkey attempt to shore up their defenses, while italy uses this turn to reposition.

 
No retreats so onward to  fall!
 
John
