Mike, Christine, Dan, Hamish, Dirk,
As I told Mike Thursday morning, real life has reared its ugly head,
now more than even I expected yesterday. As such I simply will not
have time for this game. As all of you know it bothers me to end a
game by any vote other than DIAS, and I only support DIAS when everyone
simply has lost the weill to keep playing due to NMRs or such. That is
definitely not the case in this excellent contest. I like to play
games until their logical conclusion (either a forced draw or a solo),
and there is still a LOT, a very lot, of play left in this game.
Either a German solo or a forced three way AEG are the most likely
results if it was to be plasyede out. Unfortunastely, I simply nop
longer will have any time to devote to plsaying it out. All three
other players for some time now have said--repeatedly--that they want a
three way AEG by vote. I have been the (apparently lone) naysayer
since I'd really like to play this out, even though it is very unlikely
I could get any better result. And I hate to have Mike's tourney end
this way, especially since Dirk apparenly has a shot ast winning the
whole thing. But I have no choice. So I'm now acceptinmg the AEG that
I've been berated to vote for if it currently is on the table. If it
is not, then I propose the AEG three way myself and vote for it. Its
been a good game guys, I hope to meet all of you in the future. I've
had fun. I hope you have. And I'm sorry to have to scuttle off this
way.
Ray

Subject: dc311 - The winter that never was
With Fall 17 results we have ourselves another draw??that fails to
pass??and a winter that may never be!
Is it global warming, or just crafty Diplomacy...
??
We do have two retreats, but Austrian A Bud can only go to Tri and
German A Tyr can only go to Boh.?? After enacting both of these
retreats, there's simply nothing left to do this winter.?? If either
power wishes to go OTB and build something else instead, you may do so
by tomorrow 3pm Central, but if the status quo is fine then we just
move along to Spring 18... Due Monday!?? 3pm Central.
