GM Comment:

[u:b6b1bccba8]RUSSIA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED.[/u:b6b1bccba8] My personal thanks go to Aidan for playing Russia, for putting up a very spirited defence and for keeping going to the bitter end despite a 3-way attack (even putting in his final expected disbandments, which is above and beyoind the call of duty). Aidan has proved himself a Diplomacy player in the true mold, who would be welcome in any future DiplomaticCorp game that I GM. I urge each remaining player to sends their thanks to Aidan too.
When a player has been eliminated I will write to them asking for feedback on the game. This can be anything on which they'd like to comment on regarding the game. This feedback is completely optional. For my own purposes, I'd like to hear a player's views of how the running of the game can be improved. All constructive criticism is welcome. Of course, the player can also send the end-of-game statement to me and also to any and all of the players.
If an eliminated player wishes to receive future adjudications then I'm happy to keep them on the distribution list on request.
These results will also be posted to the DiplomaticCorp DC175 message board.
Preliminary orders are highly recommended.
Remember to also submit any potential retreat orders and any potential adjustment orders with your usual orders for the next turn.
Please put the game number 'DC175', season, year and country in the subject line of any orders.
Information on 2-season Diplomacy and the way to order retreats and adjustments can be found at DiplomaticCorp>Message Board>dc175>Dc175 2-Season Diplomacy.
DiplomaticCorp House Rules and the GM House Rules modifications to them can be found at DiplomaticCorp>Active Games>DC175>Paolo Sforza's House Rules.

[u:b6b1bccba8]PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF THIS ADJUDICATION.[/u:b6b1bccba8]

The Archduke has made his second NMR, and is out.
I will take a vote on whether you prefer to wait for a replacement or CD him.
Normally I would wait, but as this turn reasults in Austria's reduction to only 2 SCs, I will go with the Majority vote.
Please have your response in by Noon on Saturday, May 10th. Non responses will be counted as a vote to wait for a Replacement.

The only retreats necessary are Austrian, and both have only one option, so I have ordered both:
F Greece - Albania
A Sevastopol - Ukraine

Build Orders will be Due (assuming a CD vote) on Tuesday, May 13th (at) 9pm

Austria, remove 2
Germany Build 1
Italy build 2
Russia Build 1
Turkey build 1

I agree with you Garry. Steve should have a chance even though this probably impacts Matt, Danny and myself the most.

All,{sigh}. Your GM has had to make a tough decision. I
deliberated and got a second opinion and finally came to
this decision. This decision affects our timeline and our
current round. Situation - France submitted a build order;
however, I never received it AND he had no confirmation
email from me stating such. According to the strictest
letter of the law, it is the PLAYER'S responsibility to
ensure that I have received their orders and that they have
confirmation. In fact, I have received more than one email
from at least one of you when you had yet to receive my
confirmation. The question here is whether or not to allow
the build that France showed me in the email that he
forwarded me. In Steven's defense, I should
haveprobably sent him an email with a grace period stating
that I had not received his build and I failed to do so.
Based on the build AND the situation of the game, I feel
like this was notan attempt to beat the game but rather
just an unfortunate event. AS SUCH, I am going to allow
the build [F in Mar] for W01. Several factors were weighed,
not least amongst which were the timing in the game [I would
NOT have allowed it later in a gamemost likely because the
impact would probably have been MUCH greater]. This
decision is final! Hopefully all concur that I am trying to
do what is the right thing for the spirit of the game. Where
that leaves us is in a bit of a delay. Today was the day for
our S02 deadline. Given the new news, that is not a timeline
that we need to keep. Instead, let's push our deadline
for S02 back until Monday May 12th at 5pm CST.

GIVEN THIS EXAMPLE, PLEASE remember that orders are not
complete until CONFIRMED by me. I do my best to confirm at
least every few days. In cases where I cannot [due to
travel], I will
do my best to let you know that confirmations will be slow.
IF you do not have confirmed orders, you should send them
again AND copy to orders(at)diplomaticcorp.com. That is a
mailbox from
which orders can be retrieved later if there is any
question/concern. To keep this mailbox from becoming
overloaded, please ONLY do this when you feel the need to
send a second set because
you don't have confirmation. I cannot stress enough
that ensuring that orders are received IS THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PLAYER!

That said, I may not be able to confirm orders Friday or
Saturday. Sunday confirmation will be late in the day. Thus
I set the Monday deadline so that you can be sure that you
received confirmations.

I apologize for our detour here but I do feel that this is
the right thing to do AND is the right thing for the spirit
of the game.

Quite Interesting!EVERYONE wants Munich but Germany holds
true.Russia and Turkey seem to be on the same page...in the
wrong way!Bounces abound, most by Russia and Turkey.AND
France foregoes a guaranteed build in Por to gain entry
into the Med.An interesting 1902 awaits! Too early to see
what alliances hold. Ah...once again a misorder [this time
outlined in the orders below]. As previously committed,
builds are due Monday, May 5th at 5pm CST. No retreats are
required. Point of inquiry - what should be our next
deadline beyond that? I will be out of town Friday 9th to
Sunday 11th. Should we hold orders for Spring 1902 until
Sunday OR try to fit in orders by Thursday 5pm on the 8th?
Majority rules. In light of votes, we will default to the

DC140 "Never Ending Story" spring 1908 r... - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
Spring 1908 arrives, and we find numerous units being dislodged. England and France continue to duke it out around the British Isles, while Italy once again bounces England's attempted move to MAO. Italy and Turkey beat up on each other again, while Russia slides by and occupies Venice. Russia also puts a hurt on France.

No fewer than five units feel the heat, and some have nowhere to go:
The English fleet in Wales may retreat to London or OTB.
The French fleet in the English Channel may retreat to Brest, Irish Sea, or OTB.
The French army in Ruhr has no valid retreats and is destroyed.
The Italian army in Serbia has no valid retreats and is destroyed.
The Turkish fleet in Greece has no valid retreats and is destroyed.

Because the French fleet has more than one retreat option, I'll need to have a separate summer turn. The summer 1908 retreats will be due Tuesday 5/13 at 3pm Central (US). I will adjudicate the turn as soon as I receive the retreat orders -- if they arrive in the next 24 hours, we can still have the fall deadline next week. Thanks!

Cory

DC170 fall 1907 results! - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
First of all, the 4-way draw is voted down, so on we go. That's bad news for France, who is finished off by the combined efforts of the two rival alliances, Austria gaining control of Marseilles. Germany sails out of Western Med ahead of the supported Turkish attack. Germany, with help from England, holds off attacks on both Kiel and St. Petersburg.

There are no retreats due, so we move directly to winter 1907 adjustments, which are due tomorrow, Friday 5/9 at 3pm Pacific:
Austria build 1
England build 1

Thanks for playing, Tim!

dc129 - EOG Statement - Russia - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
What a ride. Thanks to Trout for a well-run game. Loved the Radiohead theme, I'm a bit of a fan myself.

As the game progressed, I wondered how the game might have ended up differently if I hadn't made that misorder in Fall of 1901. For the replacements who didn't get to see it, I forgot that Turkey allowed me into the Black Sea instead of bouncing, so I misordered Sev-Rum instead of Bla-Rum. I was kicking myself for a solid week over that one. One extra build that year to put a fleet on the north coast of St. Pete might have been able to change the early balance of power in Scandinavia. But what happens happens I suppose; I'm glad I was able to salvage a draw, thanks to our original Turkey sticking by our alliance despite my horrid misplay. I hope I made up for it by locking up the northern border at the endgame. Anyway, my thoughts for the individual players...

Austria: Tanel played the game extremely cautiously, but perhaps too much so. I understand that Austria's one of the most difficult countries to succeed in, but the level of paranoia shown was a bit too high for me to be able to deal with, especially when compared to how well Turkey was willing to cooperate. I mean honestly, three arranged bounces in Galacia over the first three turns? That said, Tanel was a solid tactician, so it took quite the effort to finally take him out, and if I'm not mistaken, he didn't have any late orders all game, so I have to give him props for that too.

England: Well Ari, I gotta hand it to you. You stuck by your game plan from day one, come hell or high water. I guess it worked for you, but you probably could've gotten your three-way earlier if you had worked with Turkey and I instead of against us.

France: Alas, poor Ricardo, I barely knew ye. Seriously.

Germany: Jerry played the endgame survivalist masterfully. I wrote him off to the ash heap of history before he even showed up to take over for the deposed Kaiser, but he beat the odds to eke out a survival. Honestly, I voted yes for the five-way as well. As far as I'm concerned, you earned a spot on the draw.

Italy: Well Jim, we didn't really have a chance to work together like I said I'd like to do back in 1901. Circumstances as they were. Maybe next game will prove different.

Turkey: I barely noticed the change when you took over for Tory, Kevin, except for the fact that you were actually talking after 1905. Razz Which I guess was your goal, so kudos. Well done in the southern theatre.

In all, a very enjoyable first game on DipCorp, and I look forward to many more.

Cheers,
Jake

Russian Press Conference - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
The Russian Defense ministry catagorically denies that Russian units caught behind enemy lines are operating outside the Tsar's command & control aparatus.

However, should any Europan nation be interested in mercenary services provided by alledgedly Russian troops....back-channel negotiations may be available.

GGS 1264 / DC110 - Missing Retreats EW 1872 - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
Heya folks,

We're missing several retreats for the Early Winter 1872 turn. As I also am minus my laptop which handles this games adjudications (the Imperial game being the only thing I cannot do better on a Mac than on a PC) I will delay until tomorrow to issue the Early Winter adjudication.


One note, however - I erred in the placement of Kashmir in the SC count. It remains in Chinese hands, not Dutch. This means the Chinese have 13 centers and disband 2, the Dutch have 49 and build 6...


Cheers!

DC166 (wb0821) - Fall 1907 - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
Subtle changes on the board this fall as Austria claims a center from the British and Turkey sinks one of King James' battleships.

One retreat from France required and one build from Austria is needed. Deadline for both is Friday, May 9th (11:59 PM GMT).


Please let me know if you spot any errors. Cheers!

DC161 Knights Who Say Ni! - Fall 829 - Confuse-A-C... - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
To be blunt, your cat is in a rut. It's the old stockbroker syndrome, the suburban fin de siecle ennui, angst, weltschmertz, call it what you will.


The Fall of 829 brings a cats-cradle game in the north and a kit of confusion in the south. The Anglo-Saxons force their way into Mercia but the Bretons make up for it in Meath. Sadly, this brings the end of the dreams of Gaelic domination - I'd like to thank Rob for playing the position out to the bitter-sweet end.. As the women wail in the hills, we take comfort in knowing that Rob will be just around the corner in the next game. =)


One retreat is required from the Bretons in the aforementioned Mercia. Deadline for the Early Winter 829 retreat will be set for Saturday, May 10th (11:59 PM GMT).


Cheers!

dc163 Spring 1904 Results - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
The first half of this year has brought with it most troubling times. It seems that the Italian government has crumbled, with only some resistance fighters still hanging on. The Balkinite Revolution is now also in full bloom, with the former Austrian leaders found strung up and left for the birds.

<<<Game effect. Both Austria and Italy have NMRed twice in a row and their forces are now in Civil Disorder. Their forces will hold and disband if forced to retreat.>>>

As for other news from around Europe. England shifts to the southwest and is forced from Kiel by the persistent German armies. France continues his actions to bring order to the Italian peninsula. Russia drives west into Germany, while Turkey seems to be looking to control the Black Sea.

As a GameMaster and player, I am sad to see when players drop from a game, even if they were left in poor positions (which really wasn't the case this time). In my position I could try to recruit new players to fill the vacancies, but I believe this time Italy is not really viable and Austria would be a long shot. I will put out a request for an Austrian replacement, but should one not be quickly available, I will not hold up our game.

The one English retreat is from Kiel to Ruhr. If you wish to disband instead let me know ASAP.

Our moves for Fall 1904 will be due on Friday 16th of May by 6pm EST. This will allow a short period to recruit a new Austrian.

F Greece, no move received

Aegean Diplomacy! - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
Welcome Dip Friends,
To this game of Aegean Diplomacy!

This is the first time this game has been played in dc, and really the first time I've heard of it being played anywhere - so it should be a pretty experimental game - hopefully a lot of the basic strategies of standard 7-player dip will be equally applicable here, so you're not totally in the dark about what to do.

Being the first time played, I'll run it completely random for the countries. So take a moment to reply to me (or the group) to let me know you're still interested, committed to play to the end, and if you like, a bit about you, especially the new players that I dont know here.

See you soon with country assignments once I hear from all 7!
-mike

Dc169 Spring 1907 - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
Dc169ers

Yes Spring 1907. After a big hunt, it seems that Austria's orders were found attached to another set of orders so because it would be very wrong to penalize Austria for actually submitting moves.

I have (after consultation with the TD of the Winter Blitz) decided to re-adjudicate Spring 1907 with Austria's moves. Fortunately Austria's moves dont change anything at all, but it should be recognised that Austria did indeed submit moves for Spring 1907.

How does this affect the tournament I hear you say? - well this is what is going to happen. Officially our schedule is now going to be one season behind the tournament schedule - however where we can we are going to try and just speed up a little bit to see if we can't over the next few turns catch up again.

This means I am going to ask players to seriously considering labelling their moves FINAL. if i have 4 sets of final moves, i can adjudicate early until we have caught up with the schedule.... the deadlines are going to be the same days and times as the others, so please consider labelling moves final once they are so we can speed up.

Here is Spring 1907 re-adjudicated.

Austria:
A Bohemia Supports A Munich
A Prussia Supports A Moscow - Livonia (*Cut*)
A Silesia Supports A Prussia (*Disbanded*)
A Tyrolia Supports A Munich
F Western Mediterranean Supports F Spain(sc)

England:
F Baltic Sea - Prussia (*Fails*)
A Belgium Hold
A Berlin - Silesia
F English Channel - Wales
A Holland - Edinburgh
A Kiel - Berlin
A Livonia - St Petersburg
F Mid-Atlantic Ocean - Irish Sea
F North Sea Convoys A Holland - Edinburgh
F Portugal - Mid-Atlantic Ocean
A Ruhr Supports A Munich
F St Petersburg(sc) - Finland

France:
A Brest Hold
A Burgundy Supports A Munich
A Munich Supports A Berlin - Silesia
A Paris Supports A Brest
F Spain(sc) Supports F Portugal - Mid-Atlantic Ocean

Turkey:
A Ankara - Constantinople
A Budapest - Vienna
A Constantinople - Bulgaria
A Galicia Hold
F Ionian Sea Hold
A Moscow - Livonia
F Naples - Tyrrhenian Sea
F North Atlantic Ocean - Norwegian Sea
A Sevastopol - Moscow
F Smyrna - Aegean Sea
A Ukraine Supports A Warsaw
A Warsaw Supports A Moscow - Livonia

Fall 1907 is due Tuesday at 5pm, Australian EST. However finalized moves would make things faster.

dc173 Fall results! Winter Builds, Removals due! - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
GAME Standard DC0173\Fall/1902
==============================
RETREATS:
Russ N rum to OTDb

BUILDS AND REMOVALS IF RETREATS Ordered To Disband:
Aust Build 2 Units.
Engl Build 1 Unit.
Germ Build 2 Units.
Russ Remove 2 Units.
Turk Build 2 Units.

COMMENTARY AND RESULTS
======================
Game DC0173 WINTER 1902 Deadline is Tuesday May 13 at 2400 hours!

WARNING:
If you convoy an army from one adjacent area to another
without the [*] order it will not go without GM intervention.

(2) Abbreviations and Typographical Errors
Abbreviations as stated in the 2000 Rule book are preferred,
any abbreviations that are not ambiguous, in the sole
opinion of the GM, are acceptable. A typographical error
in an order that is nonetheless understandable by the GM
will not cause the GM to rule an order ambiguous. A
typographical error that results in an order containing
either an abbreviation or the fully spelled out name of
another province shall be adjudicated as an order pertaining to the
province correctly abbreviated or spelled out.

I did not like having to let A Pie-Bel stand because I believe
France wanted A pic-bel. But one must follow the rules in case
next time this error is intentional.

Remember to put the game number somewhere in the emails subject
line.
You can also find the games results on my web site.

As the game progress the Deadlines will be 5 to 7 days, give or
take a day. If Anticipated retreats are not sent in with your
moves then the computers auto retreats will be used. The
adjudications will be [Spring/Summer_Retreats], [Fall/Winter_Retreats],
[Winter_Removals/Builds].

If you have any questions about the Rules, how to send in moves
etc. get in touch. After 1902 Winter I will not attemp to
replace a NMR player, instead my Madman rules will kick in, at
that time I will explain how they work.

Do not wait till deadline to send in moves, get in prelims!
Lets hope I never have to have a Madman turn but if it happens everyone will
be shown how it works. Basically you mortgage one of your units
to move a NMR unit. If you have A Kiel-Ber sent in you can risk
that move with this order CD A KIEL for A Mos-StP. If this is a
winning bid then your army Kiel is ordered to HOLD.

All this information can be found in my 'Diplomacy House Rules'
at the below web site.

Dark Side of the Fog: Game End - SOLO! - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
Hearty congratulations are in order to Former Trout, who has led the Space Quest janitors and burger counter clerks to a devastating 32-sc solo!!!

Only 30 sc were needed to win, and picking up a whopping 4 in the last year made all the difference – netting Trout his first solo in the club.

This is also the first ever solo in one of my FOW games, and as such Trout gets the trophy for first solo in a Fog game, and I do have to say he also gets the honors of best stab in a fog game for his devastating move on Warren early on – taking 5 centers over 2 years, almost completely unseen and unstoppable by the defender. I guess to be fair we can also award Warren the best stabbed. Smile

STEVE: You have to confirm the retreat of Caladan-Ecaz, since it determines the final SC counts.

**************************************************************

Quick recap of the game to help y’all with EOG’s which I know are all forthcoming:

First out was Eric, going into Civil Disorder pretty early on. Year 3 it was.

Next out was Hamish, a year after… hit early on by Eric, and then when he disappeared, was finished off by Trout.

Then the game went into overdrive, and nobody else was taken out until year 9, when we saw Trout’s explosive growth at the expense of Warren.

After this it was year 12 when Felix was finally polished off by Steve, Garry, and Fletch

And that leaves us where we are now, after 16 years played, and a 280-day game! 1 winner, 5 survivors, and 4 that didn’t make it to the end.
