Yeah. The 7 way draw was awful. We had two replacement players by the end of 1902, and one NMR and delay after another. We just all hated it and cut our losses.
 
I'm good with a game if we want to do quick deadlines. I don't even mind GMing, but I do like playing, so I guess I'd do whatever someone else didn't want to. But yeah, maybe even like Blitz schedule speed. One game year per week. That would put us close to 10 game years in by the time the blitz started. I'd be in.

7 way?  That sounds like a bad porno. 

I'm of the opinion that if you can't at least narrow it down to three people, you've kinda wasted a bunch of time.  Though, with a 7 way draw, I'm
assuming very little time was wasted. 

I'm only in one other game right now, and I see no obstacles to me soloing that one (Hi John!).  So I'm ready to go.  But I understand people have stuff to do.  I can handle a brisk pace, or I can say farewell to y'all until after the Blitz.  Unless I see you in the Blitz.  In which case, I'd be saying farewell until the Blitz.  How about this...

Farewell until (after) the Blitz.  Unless we play a brisk game.  Crap.

Ooh. good point on the blitz. I'm already in two pretty intense games, and I plan to gm and play in the blitz. That would put me at 5 games for round one, and if some of those overlap round two I could have up to 7. that would not be fun. At the same time, since we all know each other now, these games require a little less "foundational" diplomacy. So I'm good with whatever...

My only concern is that we're headed right into the holidays, which might prove quite disruptive to the mid game when all the action's really happening. If we could commit to a really brisk schedule it could work, but I want to be sure I leave a slot for Winter Blitz when that starts.

Hey, who you calling a coward!
At least it was a smaller draw than that crazy 7-way standard game draw I had a few games back. Funny story about that...
 
Anyway, So that's Phil and me. Anyone else up for some more punishment?

Well, there was definitely something about this game that got under my skin.  I'm always
frustrated by large draws.  They strike me as cowardly.  But, I'm always ready for a rematch with this group.

Hate to say it guys, but after having my hindquarters handed to me several times now, I'm going to have to step away from the table. Thanks for all the fun, and I enjoyed following this one to its conclusion. Good luck to any who do go on!

1909 Results - Game Over


Hey All,


After nine years, a compromise to end the war in Europe has finally been reached. The governments of France, Austria, Italy and Russia have agreed to a four way draw. However, the proposal to reveal past votes fails. I have it on good authority that the reason for past draw failures will be revealed now that hostilities have ended.


Thanks to everyone for playing! It was fun to watch you all duke it out - especially after having just played with many of you!


I usually publish EOGs a week after a game I'm running ends. If you want to do it that way, send your thoughts to me, and I'll send everybody's out next Wednesday. Alternatively, you can all start broadcasting now!


I'll send some of my thoughts out later on. The pregnant wife wants to watch TV!


Best,


Mike
