Even moreso in Seismic where a one-dot player still gets 25% of the board's seismic orders each turn.

Pete, I agree. Your position is not insignificant. Any player holding at least one center is not insignificant in any diplomacy game. However, the degree of your significance is limited to voting yes for this draw vote or being eliminated by Italy and Germany. I interpret what Mike said was only illustrating significance on a scale from 0 to 1, rounded to the nearest whole number, that yours is zero.
Regards,

I HEREBY LAUNCH A FORMAL OBJECTION.  Why suddenly is a one SC country not a significant player?  GM bias.  I demand a rerun!

I hope you all saw this line:
We're pretty much down to 3 players plus Russia on 1 dot in Ankara... and with that we have a 3-way EGI draw proposed! 

I am voting YES!  Time to put this game in the books.

Thanks,
Mike

That's it!

 

We're pretty much down to 3 players plus Russia on 1 dot in Ankara... and with that we have a 3-way EGI draw proposed!  It would require 4 yay votes to succeed.  But voting is not till spirng.  First, we have ourselves a little ole' winter turn.  BTW if you all want the draw, feel free to all vote yay by winter, and I'll call it on that turn.  But it's not required till spring.

 

E: Connect MAR and SPA, split GAS and SWI.
F: Separate North Africa and Spain
G: Split Ruh/ Swi, Join Tyl/Mars
I: Separate Smy and Sev, connect BLA and Con
R: Separate Ankara – Smyrna; connect Con/Armenia

 

E:  7/7 Even

G: 12/11 Build 1

I:  14/13 Build 1

R:  1/1 Even

 

By Thurs!  4/12, 3pm Central
