Doug, et al,
I'm sure you would do well as a GM and I know DC could use another good GM on the roster. As
for my diplomatic communication - well - I've been considering my experiences here on DC and am
actually giving serious consideration to the fault being, in large part, mine. My gaming has been more
than a bit off for some time now and to the extent that the problem, whatever it is, lies (no pun intended)
with ME and not with some of the others.
Whatever the problem is I don't think it is the DC group either but it sure was easy to point the blame
there. Mike and others have worked long, hard, hours to bring this club up to what it is now and it can
only get better. I miss the public banter that was part of Cat23 but that is more
because I was too lazy
to go looking for it. I know I've mentioned it to Mike and there has always been a solution offered for
me to try.
With all that being said I have to figure out what my next move is going to be - in the big picture sense, not
in the 317 sense. There have been a lot of changes in RL that need my attention so I need to tend to those
as well.
Scott

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Packrat; yet another example of your considered, amiable and of course "Diplomatic" communication.
I am unsurprised that you consider yourself a higher level player when you can turn in such sweet prose every time.
For the record, Please feel free to add me to your blacklist, I am fairly certain it will not be required, as this game has also led me to the conclusion that I shall not be playing much Dip. I think I'll be sticking to GMing from now on
Best

Okay gents, I've had about enough of this nonsense and I'm reasonably sure Italy has as well.
Since Germany hasn't the balls to stand up to Russia nor has he the integrity to follow through
on agreements with others the outcome of this game is more or less a forgone conclusion; a
Russian solo.
I'm okay with a strong alliance, but Germany has all but given up here and the game is suffering
as a result.
Nigel - you have played this game in a manner keeping with how I see you as a diplomacy player,
and you have certainly earned the solo. However, if you are even half the player I believe you to
be I implore you to end this and end it now. You can take Denmark easily enough and I will even
support you by hitting YOR so it cannot support EDI in
place.
Each game I have played in recently has led me to question the caliber of the players here at DC. Sorry,
but that's how I see it. Sure, the group is intended to self regulate, but higher level players won't put up with
the nonsense that goes on here. I am unsure as to whether I will play another game here as time goes on.
As for our intrepid Germany, well, his name will go on a list that DC necessitated me putting together.
For all the time I player on Cat23 I never had to create a list of players to stay away from. DC gave
me that need.
Nigel - PLEASE - end this.
