It was press - NOT any sort of personal attack.

Hi all,

 

I???m
back. My internet issues are fixed in the end and I have a new and fast
connection.

 

I???m
not surprised to see that my country is eliminated of course J but I???m surprised to see the bad atmosphere which
prevails in this game.

 

I
just read the past adjudications and I saw that there were many NMRs (including
mine of course) in quite each turn which distort the good running of the game
and falsify the results of the whole tournament.

 

It???s
a pity too to see messages like the latest where people insult themselves. It???s
a game. Don???t forget that!

It???s
unfortunate to be stabbed of course and one don???t like that (even me) but
it???s not a reason to utter insults.

 

Maybe
seeing some of you in the WB11???

 

Regards,

 

Jluc.

Hello all,



Since the message was sent to everyone, I wanted to take a brief second to
respond in front of everyone.



I have been the recipient of quite a few stabs and have orchestrated a few
myself. I feel bad every time I screw someone over, and kick myself for being
so stupid when I myself am the victim. When it comes down to it, however, this
is why I play Diplomacy. The pieces are a backdrop to the personalities, and
tactics are subordinate to tact, in my mind. This is exactly why I do not play
gunboat variants;  I enjoy matching wits with other players. I know that
everyone is playing to win themselves. I find the tension created while
simultaneously working with others and for yourself engaging. I am sorry,
Scott, for lying to you and that I stabbed you, but I am not sorry that this is
how the game is made. Maybe I am just another idiot, maybe this specific move might
not work out the best, but I made a judgment call and went with it. Maybe no
real tactician/strategist would do such a move, but a diplomat might.



I do not want to enter into an argument with you. I did not attack you for any
personal reasons, and hope that you can look past my moves in this game when
judging me as a player, or indeed as a person. Good luck,



- Greg

Not sure why any of you
would care - but this is the message I just sent to

Italy.  Please bear in mind that he will jump to 12 and will more than
likely

turn on Russia next.  I'd like to think Germany and I could put things
behind

us, but that isn't likely.



Anyway - this is what I sent to Italy and, yeah, it really is how I see it.



Yup - believe it or not, that is as I expected.  Thought I'd take
the chance

anyway.  This is one reason I only play gunboat now.  People have no

honor in this game and that's quite the shame.  Sure stabs are part of the

game but they lack creativity and don't show any real tactical prowess,

No strategy.  ANY idiot can stab but a truly good strategist/tactician

plays the GAME and doesn't let the game play him.



So POR/SPA and MAR fall to you.  Enjoy your victory - ANY idiot

could have done what you did.  ANY.

GM???s remarks:

 

Not sure it would have made much of a difference; but, Turkey NMR???s
again.

 

With no viable retreat, Turkey???s army in Constantinople is
disbanded.  And, with only one viable retreat, Germanys retreat was
performed automatically.  Doug, if you would have preferred the unit was
retreated off-the-board, please let me know before tomorrow evening so that I
can post a correction.
