Thanks for the clarification Robin. Facing two players who are in lock-step is always tough, especially when it means that you are on getting the business end of a beat down. As everyone is aware we would not tolerate any true cheating and have ways to sniff that out. I have David in another game I am GMing and have seen nothing but stand-up, ruthless behavior. Ok, I kid a bit but you get the point.



As a note, I am waiting on clarification of a rule from my other site Moderator before publishing results; that is the cause of the delay. Hopefully I hear in the next few hours and can get this out.

Everyone,


I'm not sure your understanding of my last message was clear.




I didn't accuse anyone of being the same person.  I only observed that the moves were succinct between England and Germany.  I used the term 'like they were the same person'.  I know that the word 'like' implies a similarity not "the same" even I used them in the same sentence.  I could say alligator tastes "like chicken".  I'm fully aware of them being different animals.




Also -- I also hope you all know that my main intention was to inspire someone to take my side of this issue and vote down the F/I/R draw.




So -- no spite -- just have fun whatever you end up doing.  Feel
like it is worth a three way draw after all of that?  Your decision.




And yes, I think the biggest factor here was Austria's being a non-player.  I told some that I was worried about that way before the spring move was announced.




Cheers,

Robin CD

We Have an EGP - 3-way F/I/R with Survival for the Rest
Farewell England

German Capital Relocation to Denmark




All,

Lots of action in the Fall! We had two retreats, both of which were easy so I took them:




A Edi could retreat to Yor or Cly but it is irrelevant

A Mun could retreat to Sil or OTB. I took it to Silesia and will let David decide on which units to
disband.




We have some adjustments:




France builds 2

Germany removes 3 (ouch)

Italy builds 2

Russia builds 2

Turkey removes 1




Let's get those in to my at 1pm CDT tomorrow!
