Order of the Mammoth

Woolliness: Alexander the Great had India, Napoleon Boneaparte Egypt. To the modest-minded, large military campaigns seem audacious and wool-headed. Yet, as the Knight of the Mammoth knows, the most succesful generals are those that stubbornly pursue the biggest dreams.

The correct response is why is Holland concerned with Mongolia...

But seriously, as will all Dip games the Most Certain way to get your orders right is to use RP or RW (links are under Downloads on the DC Site, both are VERY light weight installs, open source apps) and after entering your moves, copying your moves from the Orders menu item as our hallowed GM suggests.

Most GMs will love you for that courtesy.

When you have the variant loaded into Realworld, select Windows from
the menu bar, then Info. Scroll down and you'll get a full list of
map spaces by name and the abbreviation's RW is programmed to
accept. The 2x sized map available at
http://mainecav.org/diplomacy/dc342 was intended to help with hard
to read names and hard to see borders.

In RW, under Map, you can toggle things on and off to help you see;
units, SCs, "other land," and Names. Names will post the "official"
abbreviations in little boxes over their spaces - I can't say they
help me at all, but they may help you.

Other than that, yes, I will make assumptions when I load your
orders and see a movement arrow shoot across the map from SIA to HOL
because you typed A SIA-Hold and RW interpreted it as A Sia-Hol
because you put a dash in it. You can order your units in RW, open
Windows, Orders, and copy & paste your orders into your email.

In the list of orders there, you'll also see: "A Somewhere, no move
received" which tells you you missed one. In a game this size,
missing a unit in orders is easy to do - use RW to help you.

Please read the section of my house rules on Orders Format. Orders
like (F) swe, -fin are a pain because I have to edit out commas,
parens, etc, to get them into a format RW will take. There will be
a LOT of individual orders in this game and the more I have to fix
orders, the more can be missed.

Hey Jerry,

Some of the country names on the map are very difficult to read
(e.g. Mongolia - is that Mongolia in Cyrillic?).

Can we assume that you'll be a little forgiving if we're off by a
letter?

Thanks,

Mike

This message is in reply to post 17766:

The Deadline for Spring 1841 orders is: Thursday, September 16th
(at) 2359 UTC.

That quick, and we've been assigned our Diplomatic Corp ID, DC342,
which makes it official - we've begun.

To that end, you see, I've assigned a deadline for the first set of
orders which gives you about 8 days to lie to each other. I live in
US Eastern Time (Maryland) which is -5 hours of UTC so 2359 UTC is
1859 EDT. I use 2359 to avoid confusion. Most everyone is bloody
late all the time anyway. If you can't read a 24 hour clock -
you're kidding, right?

I didn't come up with a catchy name for our game. If you have
something to suggest, send it along. If you get something good to
me quick, you won't have to spend the next year looking at "Imperial
Margarine" or something like that.

As usual, for me, all files; maps RealWorld DPWs, orders, etc will
be kept in the dc342 folder of the Diplomacy Tribune and that URL
will be at the bottom of all adjudications.

All "official" public emails regarding this game will have the
subject line above (or whatever catchy name we come up with) and
will be copied to the DipCorp forum. When the game's section is up
on the forum - do go there and SUBSCRIBE to it. It's also there for
you to use for open press, smack talk, and calling for game end
votes - ie: anything to everyone regarding dc342.

Do read my house rules and keep in mind that I'm an
obsessive-compulsive slob - I'm a mess, but it must be 'just-so.'

I'm usually pretty timely in getting out adjudications. If I'm
late, it's probably because one or more of you is late. This has
delayed things at times for a day, even two, but seldom longer than
that.

Jerry

Your friendly neighborhood GM.
