After 17 hard fought years, Matt pulls off the solo win! A bit of press…
The leaders of the great nation of Illinois announce the reunification of the continent of North America, along with the islands of Cuba and Iceland, under their rule. Invoking the power now bestowed upon them by the fulfillment of the terms of the Sims Convention, signed 17 years ago, they mandate that all nations that have survived this great war put down their arms and accept current boundaries as permanent. Chicago is hereby proclaimed the capital of the world, and Michael Jordan's number 23 will be retired by all sports teams on the planet. Illinois' chief military commander, General Kremer, applauds all his peers from other nations on a well-contested Fourth World War.
There were 2 retreats, but I just picked some spots since they didn’t impact anything:
Philippines: F Kuala Lumpur(kua) - Isthmus of Kra(kra)(wc)
SichuanEmpire: A Karachi(kar) - Lahore(lah)
On other matters, India descends into Civil Disorder, and California is eliminated. 11 out of 35 players made it to the end. Final standings are online, www.diplomaticcorp.com?game=dc195
EGS (End-Game-Statements) are welcome and encouraged from everyone. The game went 404 days, well over a year of real time. From my perspective, this game traversed a cross-country move, 5 employers, 3 cell phones, and our new baby girl. So much has changed that it’s hard to believe one game went on the whole time. GMing this was quite a bit more work than normal, with 244 units to enter each turn - the biggest challenge of course being managing 35 players. In that regard, everyone who stepped in as a substitute is very much appreciated. This is John, Trent, Kevin, Vegas, Esdras, Max, and Jorge. If you guys aren’t already, you’re welcome to join the ranks of the Light Brigade for stepping into replacement roles.
Congrats again to Matt, and everyone be sure to send in an EGS to the group here.
Enjoy,
-mike
