Grüß Gott!
The very first adjucation is always something special. One has only the (written) word of one's fellow players to go on. Hopes and fears of what the future holds make for a conflicting cocktail of emotions. And how much more keenly are those felt when all parties are embarking on an unfamiliar journey, a first playtest!
Let me thank all players for us being off to a smooth start, having dilligently forwarded me their correspondence and in some cases sharing their strategic intentions with me. It has been most instructive and has helped me catch various mistaken notions in regards to the 1648's rules and geography. I am also constantly reminded that players approach a power position very differently from what I might tend to do.
Few words on my adjucating. Since I'm entering all the orders into Realpolitik and letting it work things out, the map output takes precedence over the written results, simply because there's less scope for me to mess things up with the former. Rest assured that I scrupulously check and double-check DP allocations. I'm happy to send you my spreadsheet for you to review these once the game's over.
Talking of Realpolitik, last night I created less anachronistic unit icons and updated the whole 1648 Realpolitik module (which had at least one bug, I'm afraid). I'll let you know once it's available for download. I've attached the .dpy file (a Realpolitik save game you can load once you've got the new module), so you can load it and have the present map situation at your disposal.
Since there are no pending retreats, we'll be immediately moving on to Fall 1649, its deadline being next Wednesday, 8 July.
Servus,
Charles

MESSAGES:
From France:
Dateline Paris: As soon as peace was declared in the streets of Paris from the recent unpleasantness in Germany, the peasants rose up against the nobles in an uprising some of the few literate Frenchmen are calling the Fronde. Seeking to quell the unrest and turn the energies of the French people into something productive, new French monarch Nathan Bourbon has decided to begin mobilizing the French army for further advances to achieve la glorie. Predictably, the revolts in Paris and other cities ceased as hot-blooded Frenchmen (and even a few Frenchwomen) sought to enlist to slaw the enemies of La Patrie. Where these new armies are going, no one has a clue.

So much for my predictions, at least some of them... hm... this will be an interesting game to watch.
by the way, where are you from Charles? I haven't heard Grüß Gott since I left Bayern in December (US Army, previously stationed in the Ansbach area) - you from around there?

Benjamin,
while I now live up north in Berlin, I used to live for a while in Passau, a beautiful town right on the Austrian border. I miss the hearty Southern German greeting up here. Further up north at the coast "Moin Moin" is a popular way of saying hello, but hereabouts it's just your boring "Guten Morgen/Tag/Abend" or "Hallo". Anyway, are you in some Armored Brigade?
As for being an interesting game to watch, well, I dare say any opening adjucation is inherently interesting. Can't wait to see how things develop. What's your take as an observer on the board?

less than an hour remains until D-Day. I'll accept any set of orders until the top of the hour.

| 1648 090623: The Upcoming Adjucation & Orders... - charlesf (Jun 29, 2009, 1:53 pm) |
Hi guys,
we're fast approaching the first adjucation deadline, Wednesday 1 July 6 PM CET (GMT+1). Should you have not yet sent in your (preliminary) orders, I strongly recommend you do so now since that allows me to alert players of possible mistakes, serves as an insurance against adversity leading to NMRs and hence allows me to relax on that count.
- Note that any illegal order (whether for a player or minor power unit) will simply be reported as a hold order.
- Entry into my mail inbox is the decisive criterion when it comes to meeting the deadline. In emergencies, you can also call me under the number I earlier provided and verbally communicate your orders to me (provided I'm at home, of course).
- Should a player believe I have made an adjucation error, he may appeal the adjucation until the next adjucation has taken place. My rulings are final.
Now a few recommended guidelines for how to format your orders:
a. Identification: As I previously noted, the orders mail should be marked using the following format:
1648: Sp49 A1
The above referring to the first Austrian order set sent to me for the Spring 1649 Moves. The shorthands:
Austria: A
Denmark-Norway: D
England: E
France: F
Poland-Lithuania: P
Spain: S
Sweden: W
Turkey: T (yes, I mean to fully change all documents to Turkey being used over "Ottoman Empire".)
b. Major Power unit orders: As necessary, a player's messages should specify what his Great Power's units are doing that season (i.e., moving, holding, supporting, or convoying) or what retreats, disbands, or builds the player wishes to execute. Players should use the unit orders format that is provided in the basic Diplomacy rules and the abbreviations for the spaces that are provided in the supplemental 1648 rules.
c. Minor power unit orders: During Spring and Fall turns, players should specify how they are allocating their Diplomacy Points (DPs) and what they expect the receiving Minor Powers to do with their units. Again, players should use the unit orders format that is provided in the basic Diplomacy rules and the abbreviations for the spaces that are provided in the supplemental 1648 rules. Example: 2DP: A Tra S A Mol H. NOTE: I will only publish the Minor Power order that receives the most DPs or the hold order. I will not indicate which player submitted a particular order to a Minor Power or what that order was. Only the submitting player and I will know for sure who submitted an order for that Minor Power.
d. "Press" releases: As desired, a player's messages may include press releases. Unlike unit orders, press releases may be made conditional on what the other players do. For example, the Swedish player may have one press release to use if Poland-Lithuania attacks Sweden and another press release to use if Poland-Lithuania attacks Austria. Press will be designated as being sent by the player who sent it unless I am instructed to publish it anonymously. I retain the right not to publish a press release if I deem it inappropriate.
Well, that's it. I apologise my initial house rules document doesn't cover all the various contingencies. I'll try to do better in future.
On another note, my current involvement in the hobby extends to also GMing a 1900 variant game next to this one. It is run on the DPJudge and only has just started. Unfortunately, I had to remove our Italian player on account of numerous violations and the Russian player chose to resign on account of being a near-mute. So two openings, unmarred by any adjucations having yet taken place, are currently on offer. 1900 is a terrific variant (designed by Baron Powell, who is also the inventor of the DP mechanism featured in 164 and, should you be able to fully participate in both games, you are invited to join the 1900 game. See http://www.diplom.org/openings/openings.html#USDP. The game is called 1900_090601.

The Gulf of Lyon was probably named after the city of Lyons. The letter y was also commonly used in both French and English in place of the letter i. For instance, my last name, Leroux, is a derivative of Le Roy, which is "the king" (or nowadays, Le Roi).

Hi guys,
an attentive player has noted an embarrassing glitch on the large map. The Tyrrhenian was labeled as "Ionian Sea", which is of course nothing other than a snafu of mine. Thanks for catching that! I've attached a correct map.
While at it, note that I've opted for the name "Gulf of Lion" over "Gulf of Lyon". That's etymologically more correct and the latter version probably originates from some old cartographer having slept at the switch.
Cheers,
Charles

| 1648 090623: Winter 1648 Game-Start - leroy43 (Jun 25, 2009, 1:52 pm) |
Hello everyone,
Just wanted to let you know that I'll be away this weekend at a conference (Friday through Sunday), so may not respond to any emails while I'm away (all depends on how much time I have and how expensive internet access is at the hotel).
Cheers,

| 1648 090623: The Holy Roman Empire (of the German... - charlesf (Jun 25, 2009, 2:11 am) |
Hi guys,
quite a mouthful, isn't it? Let me briefly discuss the HRE rule.
It being:
The Holy Roman Emperor may build in any SC within the Holy Roman Empire (HRE) he controls. Following SCs (marked by a burgundy red circle border) belong to the HRE (hereafter HRESCs): [list:df6f45fdc8] [*:df6f45fdc8]Bavaria [*:df6f45fdc8]Brandenburg [*:df6f45fdc8]Flanders [*:df6f45fdc8]Holstein [*:df6f45fdc8]Lorraine [*:df6f45fdc8]Lower Saxony [*:df6f45fdc8]Mecklenburg [*:df6f45fdc8]Prague [*:df6f45fdc8]Rhineland-Westphalia [*:df6f45fdc8]Stettin [*:df6f45fdc8]Saxony [*:df6f45fdc8]Swabia [*:df6f45fdc8]Trieste [*:df6f45fdc8]Vienna [/list:u:df6f45fdc8]
The Great Power owning the most HRESCs is considered the Holy Roman Emperor and enjoys the described building privileges. The title only is transferred whenever one single Great Power other than the present office-holder (initially Austria) has the most HRESCs.
Note there is no true vote, so players may not make their HRESCs count for another power. I considered such an approach, yet ultimately decided that whoever is strongest within the HRE would have been elected by the eight electors and any voting scheme would see the Imperial Crown changing hands way too frequently to make sense in historical terms.
Since actual control (perhaps I should better speak of ownership?) only changes hands in winter adjustment phases, the Imperial Crown can only switch hands during winter.
I might also add that were the incumbent emperor have fewer HRESCs than two or more powers who both match each others HRESC count, the Imperial Crown remains in the hands of the incumbent emperor, hence: "The title only is transferred whenever one single Great Power other than the present office-holder (initially Austria) has the most HRESCs."
I hope you understood the written rules just as I explained it. Though perhaps I should add these clarifications to the rules so as not to rely overly on people carefully reading the rules and grasping their implications. I trust me being the designer makes me think a rule is clear and obvious, when it might not be so for others.
In any case, should you want to try your hand at a perfect phrasing of this whole rule, I'd appreciate it since I myself am not that good at such things.
I've attached a cropped map of the HRC. As you can see, its SCs have burgundy red borders. Also, you might note that the borders of the HRC are slightly thicker than other "country" borders. Tried out starker ways of highlighting these, but didn't like the overall look and ultimately didn't consider it necessary beyond the pretty subtle visual cue.
Cheers,

| 1648 090623: Lake Lagoda - charlesf (Jun 24, 2009, 5:34 pm) |
I must confess I made this mistake as well. The little blue line in the Ingria territory seemed similar to the Kiel canal in my mind, indicating that Bothnia was linked to the (previously unnamed) Lake Lagoda. Why is that blue line in the middle of Ingria there?
B., observer
Benjamin, I dare say I was taking it too much for granted that people would read the map as I do. Will add a map clarification note to the rules.
Lake Lagoda is not named. I'm just describing that "hole" in the map.
The blue line through Ingria is the Neva river. It flows from Lake Lagoda to the Gulf of Finland (i.e. GOB). Historically, it was the route viking longships and in our period war galleys took. For the sake of geographically accuracy it is drawn as it is. The idea is that it shows Ingria's canal province nature.

Hallo zusammen,
here are the files I meant to send earlier. The rules document is what I lifted over to dipwiki, but I thought some might perhaps like it as a word doc. As for the XL map, it's greater size allowed me to feature the full space names. So it ought to help you familiarise yourself with the actual names. It's certainly my favourite way of looking at the map.
I should mention a map clarification I don't think I've adressed anywhere. Lake Lagoda is impassable. It's the big lake next to Ingria. This "Switzerland of the North" impedes movement between Abo-Novgorod and Ingria-Karelia. I trust most dippers would interpret the map in this way anyway, but thought I might just clarify that.
Should you have any rules, map or whatnot questions of your own, don't hesitate to ask.
Bis denn,
Charles

| 1648 Russian message to All - m_don_j (Jun 24, 2009, 3:09 pm) |
Fellow players,
While this may be common sense to many (if not all, if so I stand corrected), but I'd like to take a few minutes of your time to make a statement.
Beeing a long-time member of dipcorp (and a few other sites before that), I have crossed swords with several of you beforehand.
I always treat each game individually and I never let any past grudges or similar things affect my play. While this is common sense, I've stumbled upon several other players whom 'always' ally and/or 'trade' games and who do carry grudges from game to game. It's sad but true.
So in essence, the slate is clean and I will not let history affect this game, or any future games and so forth.
Thank you for your time!
Best regards,
Tsar Mikael of Russia

| 1648 090623: Winter 1648 Game-Start - charlesf (Jun 24, 2009, 12:52 pm) |
Hallo zusammen,
welcome to the very first 1648 playtest! I hope we shall all find this a most enjoyable experience. Next to the nine players involved, we have three official observers on board, who are welcome to submit any press for inclusion in the adjucations (much as players may do) or simply send everyone public messages.
Now on to some critical matters:
RULES:
The game uses the v2.8 rules and maps (which I will shortly send you). They may also be found at http://www.dipwiki.com/index.php?title=Main_Page , where I shall also be posting progressively more material regarding the variant. The House Rules are to be found on the game's webpage at http://www.diplomaticcorp.com/.
MAIL:
As noted in the house rules, I require players to forward (CC) all diplomatic correspondence they send to me. This is most invaluable for evaluating the playtest. For one, I mean to base some statistical analysis on the players' interaction with each other. Rest assured that all private correspondence will be kept strictly confidential.
- Any public messages need to be CCed to dc264(at)diplomaticcorp.com ([email]dc264(at)diplomaticcorp.com[/email]) . That's our online archive. Our window to the outside world, so to speak. I recommend you subscribe to the forum so you don't miss anything that might be directly posted there.
- For your orders, please send them in the following format:
1648: Sp49 A1
The above refers to the first Austrian order set sent to me for the Spring 1649 Moves.
Note that retreats and adjustments are combined into one adjucation. You may make your adjustments conditional on any retreats.
- I encourage players to also adopt the following header format for their negotiations:
1648: Sp49 AST1
"AST1" here meaning the first message sent by Austria to Sweden and Turkey in the time leading up to the Spring 1649 deadline, marked by "Sp49".
DEADLINE EXTENSIONS & TEMPORARY REPLACEMENTS:
Players ought to let me know well in advance when they might be unable to communicate. I may grant extensions if requested for good reason, but advise you to seek a temporary replacement during your absence. I mean to stick to the Wednesday-Thursday routine and do not wish to grant 24/48 hour extensions.
ADJUCATIONS:
I may publish summer and winter adjucations prior to the actual deadline unless a player required to submit orders for that season objects to that happening.
CONTACTING THE GM:
Should the need arise, you may call me under 0049(30)32664404.
I hope this covers some important ground I failed to stress in the house rules document itself. Should you have any questions regarding my GMing policies, be sure to ask.
GREAT POWER ALLOCATION:
Okay, on to the fun part.  I've ranked the power preferences of all nine players from 1 to 9 (any "no-particular preferences" being considered a 9). I've added up all those ranks to see which powers were most popular. The higher the number, the less popular a power happened to be.
AUSTRIA: 68
DENMARK-NORWAY: 42
ENGLAND: 61
FRANCE: 66
POLAND-LITHUANIA: 69
RUSSIA: 52
SPAIN: 35
SWEDEN: 48
TURKEY: 41
Spain and Sweden were all the craze. Three players most wanted to play Spain and another three listed her as their second choice, while Sweden also was the favourite of three other players. I started off considering the top choices for each player and resolved any competing preferences by die roll. As a result, four players got their top choice, one his second, another his third and two other their fourth. A last player had chosen no particular preferences.
And with that, I present you with our player roster:
AUSTRIA: Saralegui, Jorge Venice, CA, US DENMARK-NORWAY: Thompson, Michael Chester le Street, Durham, UK ENGLAND: McInerney, Chris State College, PA, US FRANCE: Albright, Nathan Tampa, FL, US POLAND-LITHUANIA: Leroux, Roger Vancouver, BC, CA RUSSIA: Johansson, Mikael Karlstad, Sweden SPAIN: Kremer, Matt New Haven, CT, US SWEDEN: Bailey, Wayne Ballston Lake, NY, US TURKEY: Knemeyer, Dirk Somerville, MA, US
I hope everyone is reasonably happy and that I covered the most important ground of what has to be said.
The Spring 1649 moves are due to me NLT 6PM CET on 1 July. I strongly encourage players to every season send in preliminary moves as soon as possible. This will allow me to review your moves and point out any problems (e.g., invalid orders, missing or misplaced units, etc.) that may present themselves in sufficient time for you to correct them. And remember to CC me on all your diplomatic correspondence. Thanks!
Cheers,
Charles
