Warsaw Underground Radio Report: Strange rumors are trickling in this morning of seeing oddly-attired soldiers throughout Warsaw today. While not Russian, nobody seems certain of who they are. Some passersby have claimed that the soldiers are Austrian; however, this reporter cannot believe that to be true. German maybe but never Austrian? Austrians are never allowed to visit Warsaw before 1903 are they?

Generally you will find some new players in any standard game (re001 on the open games page - it is typically the proving ground). Variants tend to draw vets. Many GM's run games that are invite-only. You'll discover these and other ways to get into higher caliber game as you get to know ppl.
Of those currently open,
* Ben's Sengoku game is a very experienced group, he's only allowing in reputable players. i.e. must have completed some games, and have minimal NMR's (not even looking at abandons, down to the NMR level). Join that one if you want to face some of the best. Complex game w some extra rules.
* I have my own personal Haven creation open, and to this one I'm not as strict as Ben, but I do have to at least have some conversation w all entrants to see if I think they're in it to the end.
* Charles' 1926 is another strong group, but may be full (not sure)
The standard game (re001) is the one game that we keep open for anyone to join. Others are in some cases more selective, other cases not - up to the individual GM.

I admit waiting for a replacement and giving them a week is the only fair system. It kind of sucks though.
I don't favor drawing this game because whatever game we go to next is likely to have the same problems. Is there a game series that is only for players that have completed at least one game?

Hey guys,
Just watching quietly here as I help out finding new players for games that need them... It's actually good (in a way) that the quitters weed out early. Since you have Matthew running your game, and not some automated system, when things like this come up, at least you know that he is going to find a good group, and the game will eventually be "on". If any of you committed players want to join a second game in the mean time, you're welcome to do so. You may have to ask a GM to put you in the game if you're new and the system only lets you into 1 game at a time. Just so you arent holding here waiting forever for a game to start.

Hi All,
The way I see it, we have three
options:
1. Find a replacement and allow a
sufficient amount of time for him to meet and negotiate with
everyone.
2. Continue the game using some ad-hoc,
six-player rules.
3. Have someone propose a 6-way draw;
everyone signs up for new games and hopes for the
best.
I strongly favor option 1 and strongly disfavor
option 2. If anyone disagrees, now would be the time
to speak up. Feel free to e-mail me privately on this
matter.
Cheers,
Matthew

that would help?
Here's what I propose:
Delete Austria from the game. It's home SC
arn't counted for 5 years. That way his neighbors
don't have free SCs to immediately go after. I
guess France and England are the only ones that wouldn't
benefit from this though.
Or, what if we all submitted orders for Austria?
Whichever move order got the most would be what that unit
does? We keep doing this until a replacement is found
so we can keep the game going.
If a replacement is found soon please don't set the
deadline for another week. I'd say 48-72 hours.

Hi All,
The way I see it, we have three
options:
1. Find a replacement and allow a
sufficient amount of time for him to meet and negotiate with
everyone.
2. Continue the game using some ad-hoc,
six-player rules.
3. Have someone propose a 6-way draw;
everyone signs up for new games and hopes for the
best.
I strongly favor option 1 and strongly disfavor
option 2. If anyone disagrees, now would be the time
to speak up. Feel free to e-mail me privately on this
matter.
Cheers,
Matthew

arn't counted for 5 years. That way his neighbors
don't have free SCs to immediately go after. I
guess France and England are the only ones that wouldn't
benefit from this though.
Or, what if we all submitted orders for Austria?
Whichever move order got the most would be what that unit
does? We keep doing this until a replacement is found
so we can keep the game going.
If a replacement is found soon please don't set the
deadline for another week. I'd say 48-72 hours.

Hey guys,
Just watching quietly here as I help out finding new players for games that need them... It's actually good (in a way) that the quitters weed out early. Since you have Matthew running your game, and not some automated system, when things like this come up, at least you know that he is going to find a good group, and the game will eventually be "on". If any of you committed players want to join a second game in the mean time, you're welcome to do so. You may have to ask a GM to put you in the game if you're new and the system only lets you into 1 game at a time. Just so you arent holding here waiting forever for a game to start.

Hi All,
The way I see it, we have three
options:
1. Find a replacement and allow a
sufficient amount of time for him to meet and negotiate with
everyone.
2. Continue the game using some ad-hoc,
six-player rules.
3. Have someone propose a 6-way draw;
everyone signs up for new games and hopes for the
best.
I strongly favor option 1 and strongly disfavor
option 2. If anyone disagrees, now would be the time
to speak up. Feel free to e-mail me privately on this
matter.
Cheers,
Matthew

Here's what I propose:

arn't counted for 5 years. That way his neighbors
don't have free SCs to immediately go after. I
guess France and England are the only ones that wouldn't
benefit from this though.
Or, what if we all submitted orders for Austria?
Whichever move order got the most would be what that unit
does? We keep doing this until a replacement is found
so we can keep the game going.
If a replacement is found soon please don't set the
deadline for another week. I'd say 48-72 hours.

I admit waiting for a replacement and giving them a week is the only fair system. It kind of sucks though.
I don't favor drawing this game because whatever game we go to next is likely to have the same problems. Is there a game series that is only for players that have completed at least one game?

Hey guys,
Just watching quietly here as I help out finding new players for games that need them... It's actually good (in a way) that the quitters weed out early. Since you have Matthew running your game, and not some automated system, when things like this come up, at least you know that he is going to find a good group, and the game will eventually be "on". If any of you committed players want to join a second game in the mean time, you're welcome to do so. You may have to ask a GM to put you in the game if you're new and the system only lets you into 1 game at a time. Just so you arent holding here waiting forever for a game to start.

Generally you will find some new players in any standard game (re001 on the open games page - it is typically the proving ground). Variants tend to draw vets. Many GM's run games that are invite-only. You'll discover these and other ways to get into higher caliber game as you get to know ppl.
Of those currently open,
* Ben's Sengoku game is a very experienced group, he's only allowing in reputable players. i.e. must have completed some games, and have minimal NMR's (not even looking at abandons, down to the NMR level). Join that one if you want to face some of the best. Complex game w some extra rules.
* I have my own personal Haven creation open, and to this one I'm not as strict as Ben, but I do have to at least have some conversation w all entrants to see if I think they're in it to the end.
* Charles' 1926 is another strong group, but may be full (not sure)
The standard game (re001) is the one game that we keep open for anyone to join. Others are in some cases more selective, other cases not - up to the individual GM.

| DC289: Annoyed GM - Rocketship (Feb 07, 2010, 8:02 pm) |
Hey guys,
Still no word from our Austrian player. I've got no choice at this point but to seek a new player. I've put the game back into recruiting mode.
Hopefully we'll find a replacement soon and can get back to the game.

Hey guys,
Deadline's here and I'm still waiting for Austrian orders. I'm invoking Austria's one-time 24h grace period. You are all free to submit new orders during this time.
Cheers,

This is your friendly 24h reminder for Fall 1901. I'm still missing orders from England, France, Italy, and Austria.
In future turns, please consider submitting preliminary orders as soon as is convenient. You can always change them once you've had some time, and you reduce your risk of NMR to zero.
Cheers,

Turkeys embassy is now open. You can reach me on pontusstrimling -at-yahoo.com. I respond well to flatter and the giving away of supply centers.

Hi Everyone,
Please welcome our new Turkish player, Chochem (pontusstrimling-at-yahoo.com).
I'll set the Spring 1901 deadline for Saturday, January 30, 2010 at 05:00GMT. Note that that translates to late Friday evening in North America.
Cheers,
Matthew[Reply] |
| DC289: 24h Warning - Rocketship (Jan 22, 2010, 1:40 am) |
Well...
We have orders from almost all players, but no word from Turkey.
I don't think I can really be anymore lenient, so I think we need to go ahead and look for a replacement. Once we find one, I think I'll allow another week for negotiations (and I'll still accept orders from all of you) before the Spring 1901 deadline.
I apologize for the delay.

Deadline has passed and I'm still missing orders from Austria and Turkey. I'm giving another 24 hours (without invoking their one-time 24hour grace period, because I'm a nice guy). If I'm still missing orders, then I'll have to seek a new player.
Sorry for the delay.

I had indeed intended 05:00GMT to mean 5am GMT. The deadline then translates to late evening on Tuesday for our North American players.
I apologize for the confusion.

I"m assuming that wasn't 5am but 5pm. So to me it looks like they haven't missed the deadline yet.
