DC290 Fall 1903 announcement!!! - blueraider0 at gmail.com   (Apr 05, 2010, 9:24 pm)
I'm initiating double secret plan X:  Not that.  What is my plan?  Well I guess we'll just have to spin the wheel and find out, eh?  In other news, I hope your jeopardy is still going strong.  It was always a blast to read something truly irrelevant.

Hey again everyone,
 
I have been in contact with Alex and he has decided to come back to the game and finish out what he started in Italy. Many thanks to Mike for filling in while Alex was ill! The transition went as smooth as I could have hoped for for such a sudden turn in events.
 
The deadline will remain set for this friday, the 9th(of April, and if I ever make a mistake like that again feel free to let me know, I won't be offended or anything) 9:00pm EST as always.
 
I think that's about it, I will reattach the dpy file for Alex and anyone else who may need it. Best of luck to you all, and make sure you get those orders in by friday! If I messed anything up or left something out let me know!
 
Thanks,
 
Joey

"It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing. The shadow, even the darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you - That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding onto something."
"What are we holding onto, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for."

Certainly...my apologies...I now see that DipJeopardy was FAR more irrelevant than that fine piece known asTactical Predictions.

Votes and retreats due. The vote is for a Turkey solo victory. I need a yes vote from all remaining players for it to pass, a lack of a vote = a no vote.

Thanks!

Subject: DC290 Spring 1903


And a chaotic spring it was.

You are all definitely awake after that long winter sleep that some of you had. That is a good thing, this is the most unique game I've ever been a part of, and I hope you are all enjoying it and not getting too upset with whatever may be happening. Lots of movement occured this turn, so lets just jump right to the good stuff, shall we? I know none of you really want to hear my commentary, so just skip right over this if you want. The Italians, under new leadership, take a step backward and hold up on the Italian penninsula under fire from the Austrians and Turks. The Austrians devote full force to their western border, while the Turks quietly pick off their SCs from behind with no opposition. The Russians retreat and try to take back Red Square. While the Russians try to take back a home center, the Germans successfully take back Munich from the French, and grab the French capital in the process. While the Germans steal two French SCs, the Brits swap places with them in Brest. How will all of this unfold? Find out this fall. Here are the details:

ORDERS:

Austria:
F Adriatic Sea Supports A Trieste - Venice
A Galicia - Bohemia
A Trieste - Venice
A Tyrolia Supports A Trieste - Venice
A Vienna Supports A Galicia - Bohemia

England:
F English Channel Supports A Picardy - Brest
F North Sea Supports F Norway
F Norway Supports A Finland - St Petersburg
A Picardy - Brest

France:
F Brest Supports A Paris - Picardy (*Dislodged*)
A Marseilles Supports A Munich - Burgundy
A Munich - Burgundy
A Paris - Picardy
F Portugal - Spain(sc)

Germany:
A Belgium - Ruhr
A Berlin Supports A Silesia - Munich
A Burgundy - Paris
F Denmark - Kiel
A Silesia - Munich

Italy:
F Naples - Tyrrhenian Sea (*Bounce*)
A Piedmont - Tuscany
F Tunis - Tyrrhenian Sea (*Bounce*)
A Venice Supports A Munich - Tyrolia (*Dislodged*)

Russia:
A Finland - St Petersburg
F Sweden - Gulf of Bothnia
A Warsaw - Moscow (*Fails*)

Turkey:
A Bulgaria - Greece
F Constantinople - Aegean Sea
F Ionian Sea - Naples (*Fails*)
A Moscow Supports F Norway - St Petersburg(nc) (*Void*)
A Rumania - Galicia
A Sevastopol - Ukraine
F Smyrna - Eastern Mediterranean
RETREATS DUE:
France:
F Brest
Italy:
A Venice

DEADLINE:
The Summer 1903 deadline will be set for ***Wednesday, March 31st, 9:00pm EST*** This is the night before April Fool's day, so don't be a fool and get your retreats in Mike and Ross. The Fall deadline will probably be set for Sunday or Monday of next week. I am anticipating a lot of action, so I will make sure you have a decent amount of time.

EoG Proposals:
Solo victory for Turkey

Holla everyone,

A little late on my part, I told you I'd have this in last night, sorry about that. Also, another mistake, I didn't know that votes are usually made during fall/spring turns, so I will make sure for now on to do it during those seasons. Still my first go at GMing(well, DC280 is going on as well) and I'm still learning. Hope you can understand! Here are the summer's results:

Vote for Turkish solo: FAILS

RETREATS:

France:
F Brest - Mid-Atlantic Ocean

Italy:
A Venice - Apulia
DEADLINE:
The fall 1903 deadline will be set for ***Tuesday, March 13th, 9:00pm EST*** I remembered that this is Easter weekend and some of you might be visiting family or whatever and might not have time to get to computer. If you need extra time, as always, let me know and I can extend deadline.

DC290 Spring 1903/More Intercepted Italian Intelli... - neversawthatcoming   (Mar 30, 2010, 4:47 pm)
Geez...

I enter the game...I try to help all you feebs...and you feebs know who I am talking about...I present you with a grand plan...and you screw it up entirely. Let's review...England...you were very bad last turn...you were not supposed to attack France. Germany...very, very bad...I don't think you were paying any attention to my instructions...now look what you done to poor France. Thank god russia was paying attention...

Does anyone not believe me when I say that we should be putting our petty differences aside? Can none of you see that you are just engaging in self-defeating, self-deluding short-term gains? Am I the only one with active gray cells in my brain that are actually making neuro-chemical connections?

If you guys are not going to let me mastermind the remainder of this game, I am just going to go away and take my near infinite brilliance with me.

signed,
Mike Sims

And a chaotic spring it was.

You are all definitely awake after that long winter sleep that some of you had. That is a good thing, this is the most unique game I've ever been a part of, and I hope you are all enjoying it and not getting too upset with whatever may be happening. Lots of movement occured this turn, so lets just jump right to the good stuff, shall we? I know none of you really want to hear my commentary, so just skip right over this if you want. The Italians, under new leadership, take a step backward and hold up on the Italian penninsula under fire from the Austrians and Turks. The Austrians devote full force to their western border, while the Turks quietly pick off their SCs from behind with no opposition. The Russians retreat and try to take back Red Square. While the Russians try to take back a home center, the Germans successfully take back Munich from the French, and grab the French capital in the process. While the Germans steal two French SCs, the Brits swap places with them in Brest. How will all of this unfold? Find out this fall. Here are the details:

ORDERS:
Austria:
F Adriatic Sea Supports A Trieste - Venice
A Galicia - Bohemia
A Trieste - Venice
A Tyrolia Supports A Trieste - Venice
A Vienna Supports A Galicia - Bohemia

England:
F English Channel Supports A Picardy - Brest
F North Sea Supports F Norway

F Denmark - Kiel
A Silesia - Munich

Italy:

The Summer 1903 deadline will be set for ***Wednesday, March 31st, 9:00pm EST*** This is the night before April Fool's day, so don't be a fool and get your retreats in Mike and Ross. The Fall deadline will probably be set for Sunday or Monday of next week. I am anticipating a lot of action, so I will make sure you have a decent amount of time.

End game proposal gets a no vote for me. If the Turk wants a win, he's
going to have to work for it.

OH MY GOD!!!!

This isn't just Mike Sims...this is the fabled POOBALOO!!! I can now see that all hope is lost. I hereby propose that we simply give Poobaloo his next solo win and then just get on with our mundane lives.

All hail Poobaloo,

I am not worthy to cast my eyes upon your infinite greatness,

Oh heck...I have an idea...as MY position has now become hopeless, what say I let you guys vote on who will control ny pieces in the coming turn...

Hello everyone. As you may have heard, Alex has come down with a flu and is abdicating his Italian thrown. Thanks for playing Alex, hope you enjoyed the game, and get better soon!



Taking over Italy is the one and only Michael Sims! Welcome Mike, glad to have you. With a new player in the mix, I will extend the deadline to Monday, March 29th, 9:00pm EST



I'm sorry for those of you who didn't have any builds and are ready to go, but I just want to make a smooth transition. Don't get sloppy on me now with the deadlines, I want everyone to get them in on time so that I don't need to track down anybody.



And Mike, if you have any questions on my rules let me know. One grace period per person.



Have a good rest of your week, and get those orders in. And if you had already sent me orders, if you could resend them that would help me out greatly. Thanks!

Hello everyone. As you may have heard, Alex has come down with a flu and is abdicating his Italian thrown. Thanks for playing Alex, hope you enjoyed the game, and get better soon!

Taking over Italy is the one and only Michael Sims! Welcome Mike, glad to have you. With a new player in the mix, I will extend the deadline to Monday, March 29th, 9:00pm EST


I'm sorry for those of you who didn't have any builds and are ready to go, but I just want to make a smooth transition. Don't get sloppy on me now with the deadlines, I want everyone to get them in on time so that I don't need to track down anybody.

And Mike, if you have any questions on my rules let me know. One grace period per person.

Have a good rest of your week, and get those orders in. And if you had already sent me orders, if you could resend them that would help me out greatly. Thanks!
Joey

I too would like to add my thanks for Maslow starting off wuth us...
I wanted to wait until the GM made it official...because
I do so hate it when players attempt to influence the goings on of a game with cheap theatrical group e-mails to the GM.

Get better soon.

Joe

P.S. - Wait. How do we know that this isn't a cheap theatrical trick?
How do we know that Mike isn't really Maslow in disguise?

Only one way to be sure...Mike...and I am going to need you to trust me on this...I need to get one of my armies to Tuscany. Tell you what...Let me have Venice in the Spring and then I will move to TUS
in the Fall.

Maslow would never have fallen for such a thinly veiled disguise.

OH MY GOD!!!!

This isn't just Mike Sims...this is the fabled POOBALOO!!! I can now see that all hope is lost. I hereby propose that we simply give Poobaloo his next solo win and then just get on with our mundane lives.

All hail Poobaloo,

I am not worthy to cast my eyes upon your infinite greatness,

Oh heck...I have an idea...as MY position has now become hopeless, what say I let you guys vote on who will control ny pieces in the coming turn...

DC290 Spring 1903 (dc290) bobbarkerfan1 Mar 29, 09:50 pm
And a chaotic spring it was.

You are all definitely awake after that long winter sleep that some of you had. That is a good thing, this is the most unique game I've ever been a part of, and I hope you are all enjoying it and not getting too upset with whatever may be happening. Lots of movement occured this turn, so lets just jump right to the good stuff, shall we? I know none of you really want to hear my commentary, so just skip right over this if you want. The Italians, under new leadership, take a step backward and hold up on the Italian penninsula under fire from the Austrians and Turks. The Austrians devote full force to their western border, while the Turks quietly pick off their SCs from behind with no opposition. The Russians retreat and try to take back Red Square. While the Russians try to take back a home center, the Germans successfully take back Munich from the French, and grab the French capital in the process. While the Germans steal two French SCs, the Brits swap places with them in Brest. How will all of this unfold? Find out this fall. Here are the details:

ORDERS:

Austria:
F Adriatic Sea Supports A Trieste - Venice
A Galicia - Bohemia
A Trieste - Venice
A Tyrolia Supports A Trieste - Venice
A Vienna Supports A Galicia - Bohemia

England:
F English Channel Supports A Picardy - Brest
F North Sea Supports F Norway

A Picardy - Brest

France:

Russia:

Turkey:
A Bulgaria - Greece
F Constantinople - Aegean Sea

RETREATS DUE:

DEADLINE:
The Summer 1903 deadline will be set for ***Wednesday, March 31st, 9:00pm EST*** This is the night before April Fool's day, so don't be a fool and get your retreats in Mike and Ross. The Fall deadline will probably be set for Sunday or Monday of next week. I am anticipating a lot of action, so I will make sure you have a decent amount of time.

DC 290: Resignation - blueraider0 at gmail.com   (Mar 21, 2010, 8:59 am)
Gentlemen, I unfortunately must resign from the game.  I appear to have contracted the flu.  Apparently flu season really ISN'T over.  And I also guess vaccines either aren't foolproof, or I just got a rarer strain.  In any event, I need to reallocate my diminished energy and, after much thought, have decided that Dip comes after friends, family, job, and sleep.  So sadly I must leave this interesting (if perpetually frustrating) game.  Thank you all for what I must say has been a very unique Dipping experience, and good luck in the rest of the game.
 
Also, to rest any rumors, that Tactical Predictions press last winter was mine.  And clearly, I was really, really, really wrong.
 
Take care, and for the love of whatever you deem holy, don't get the flu.  Getting into a boxing match with it in the middle of the night really stinks.  I had a 5 round bout, but got KO'd sometime during the 3rd round.  Too bad viruses don't play by the rules.
 
Best regards,
-Maslow

Sorry everyone,
 
I've been slacking lately with adjudicating, but I'll get back on track for this spring. The Italians got their missing order into me on time, so Alex will be without a grace period from here on out along with Kyle and Justin. Make sure you get orders in on time everyone, and I highly recommend preliminary orders. Just a suggestion. Here are the adjustments:
 
ORDERS:
France:
Build A Paris
 
Italy:
Build F Naples
 
Russia:
Remove F St Petersburg(nc)
 
Turkey:
Build F Smyrna
 
DEADLINE:
The spring 1903 deadline will be set for ***Friday, March 26th, 9:00pm EST*** This gives you a whole week to negotiate and get orders in, so don't waste any time.

PRESS:

 
DATELINE SWITZERLAND, Late December, 1902 
 
Players, let's get back to DipJeopardy... 
 
Bobbarkerfan: "We still have 2 categories... "Bodies of Water," and "Liars & Cheats." 
 
Bobbarkerfan: "Maslow, feeling pretty frisky, I see, now that you have that new shiny fleet...you were our last correct questioner, select" 
 
Maslow: "I'll take 'Bodies of Water' for $100," 
 
Bobbarkerfan: "Shoulda bumped.'" 
 
:::Justin buzzes in:: "What is Black Sea?" 
 
Bobbarkerfan: "Yes!!  Select." 
 
Justin: "I'll take 'Bodies of Water' for $200, bobbarkerfan." 
 
Bobbarkerfan: "And the answer is 'Shouldn'ta bumped.'" 
 
:::Justin buzzes in::: "What is Barents Sea?" 
 
Bobbarkerfan: "You're on a roll...just like Panzer forces through Poland on a sunny day.  Continue." 
 
Justin: "I'll take 'Bodies of Water' for $300." 
 
Bobbarkerfan: "And the answer is...'Head west, young man.'" 
 
:::Kyle buzzes in::: "Ooo, Ooo, I know this one...what is the Northern Atlantic?" 
 
Bobbarkerfan:  "Not what we were looking for..."
 
:::Maslow buzzes in:::  "Looks like I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue?"
 
Bobbarkerfan:  "Uh, no."
 
:::Matthew buzzes in:::  "What I want ALL of the people west of me to do?  By the way, let me comment on the army currently inserted sideways in Munich.  I don't know who dreamed up that little maneuver, but but I'll get you sucka, if it's the last thing I ever, ever do.  I'm not ready to make any accusations, but several packages of incriminating strudel were found on the Tyrolian border.  Coincidence?  I think not.  Before retreating, a German bomb squad was called to deal with the packages.  They determined that the best way to diffuse the suspected explosives were to eat them.  Reports are coming in that, 'They were very tasty.'"

Bobbarkerfan: "OK....Matthew...speaking of sniffing glue, select..." 
 
Matthew: "I'll take 'Bodies of Water' for $400." 
 
Bobbarkerfan: "And the answer is, 'Oh what a tangled web we weave.'" 
 
:::Ross buzzes in::: "What recent 'explanations' from the English seem to amount to regarding that pesky fleet of his in the English Channel?" 
 
Bobbarkerfan:  "Very insightful...would you like to finish off the category?"
  
Ross: "'Bodies of Water' for $500..." 
  
Bobbarkerfan: "And the answer is, 'And for my next trick, let me part the seas."
 
:::Michael buzzes in::: "What is the first step in the Italian's plans to circumnavigate the globe and take up a position to my east in the Dead Sea?"
 
Bobbarkerfan: "Let's take a break...and remember players, we are actively soliciting suggestions for categories in the upcoming Double DipJeopardy round where the stakes are even higher.  Unsolicited suggestions so far include, "The Wit and Wisdom of Maslow," "Stuck in Finland," and "If Man were Meant to Fly."

I know it is the last minute, but I thought I would write and send you my Christmas list.  Please bring my friend, Ross two armies and put them both in Paris, if you wouldn't mind...and my friend Michael a shiny new army, and my friend Maslow a shiny new fleet, but don't bring anything to Matthew or Kyle...they were both naughty and held me upside down in a toilet and gave me something called a 'swirly.'   And please, Santa, take some toys away from the mean Justin.  He started with more toys than anybody and won't share.  And, Santa, if it's not asking too much...I don't need any new armies or fleets...could you just get Mistress Lash back for a while?  Basically, I need cash.  You can't believe her hourly rates.
 
Thank you,
 
Franz

Have a good week everyone, and get those orders in!

"It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing. The shadow, even the darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you - That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding onto something."
"What are we holding onto, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for."

DC290 Winter 1902 adjudication - bobbarkerfan1   (Mar 21, 2010, 8:43 am)
Sorry everyone,

I've been slacking lately with adjudicating, but I'll get back on track for this spring. The Italians got their missing order into me on time, so Alex will be without a grace period from here on out along with Kyle and Justin. Make sure you get orders in on time everyone, and I highly recommend preliminary orders. Just a suggestion. Here are the adjustments:

ORDERS:
France:
Build A Paris

Italy:
Build F Naples

Russia:
Remove F St Petersburg(nc)

Turkey:
Build F Smyrna

DEADLINE:
The spring 1903 deadline will be set for ***Friday, March 26th, 9:00pm EST*** This gives you a whole week to negotiate and get orders in, so don't waste any time.

DATELINE SWITZERLAND, Late December, 1902

Players, let's get back to DipJeopardy...

Bobbarkerfan: "We still have 2 categories... "Bodies of Water," and "Liars & Cheats."

Bobbarkerfan: "Maslow, feeling pretty frisky, I see, now that you have that new shiny fleet...you were our last correct questioner, select"

Maslow: "I'll take 'Bodies of Water' for $100,"

Bobbarkerfan: "Shoulda bumped.'"

:::Justin buzzes in:: "What is Black Sea?"

Bobbarkerfan: "Yes!! Select."

Justin: "I'll take 'Bodies of Water' for $200, bobbarkerfan."

Bobbarkerfan: "And the answer is 'Shouldn'ta bumped.'"

:::Justin buzzes in::: "What is Barents Sea?"

Bobbarkerfan: "You're on a roll...just like Panzer forces through Poland on a sunny day. Continue."

Justin: "I'll take 'Bodies of Water' for $300."

Bobbarkerfan: "And the answer is...'Head west, young man.'"

:::Kyle buzzes in::: "Ooo, Ooo, I know this one...what is the Northern Atlantic?"

Bobbarkerfan: "Not what we were looking for..."

:::Maslow buzzes in::: "Looks like I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue?"

Bobbarkerfan: "Uh, no."

:::Matthew buzzes in::: "What I want ALL of the people west of me to do? By the way, let me comment on the army currently inserted sideways in Munich. I don't know who dreamed up that little maneuver, but but I'll get you sucka, if it's the last thing I ever, ever do. I'm not ready to make any accusations, but several packages of incriminating strudel were found on the Tyrolian border. Coincidence? I think not. Before retreating, a German bomb squad was called to deal with the packages. They determined that the best way to diffuse the suspected explosives were to eat them. Reports are coming in that, 'They were very tasty.'"

Bobbarkerfan: "OK....Matthew...speaking of sniffing glue, select..."

Matthew: "I'll take 'Bodies of Water' for $400."

Bobbarkerfan: "And the answer is, 'Oh what a tangled web we weave.'"

:::Ross buzzes in::: "What recent 'explanations' from the English seem to amount to regarding that pesky fleet of his in the English Channel?"

Bobbarkerfan: "Very insightful...would you like to finish off the category?"

Ross: "'Bodies of Water' for $500..."

Bobbarkerfan: "And the answer is, 'And for my next trick, let me part the seas."

:::Michael buzzes in::: "What is the first step in the Italian's plans to circumnavigate the globe and take up a position to my east in the Dead Sea?"

Bobbarkerfan: "Let's take a break...and remember players, we are actively soliciting suggestions for categories in the upcoming Double DipJeopardy round where the stakes are even higher. Unsolicited suggestions so far include, "The Wit and Wisdom of Maslow," "Stuck in Finland," and "If Man were Meant to Fly."

DC290 Fall 1902 adjudications - bobbarkerfan1   (Mar 13, 2010, 6:34 pm)
Hey everyone,

Thanks for waiting, sorry about the delay. Thank you everyone for getting orders in on time. Justin will be without a grace period as well as Kyle, so keep that in mind. Very active turn negotiation wise, I'm sure there was a lot more going on that wasn't CC'd to me, but that's great. Games are more fun when everyone is getting involved. And I'd like to just remind everyone that as a GM, I am not getting involved in anything that is going on(besides adjudicating) unless there is a question directed to me.

With that being said, there was a lot of bouncing and support cutting in Scandinavia between the Russians, Germans and British. The Russians make no movement and lose an SC to the Turks. The British make a landing in Northern France and the Germans get dislodged in Munich, but hold onto Belgium. France gets two SCs, Italians land in Africa, The Turks begin the conquest of Russia, and the Austrians continue their defensive play. The German army in Munich will need to be retreated.

ORDERS:
Austria:
F Albania - Adriatic Sea
A Galicia - Bohemia (*Bounce*)
A Trieste - Venice (*Fails*)

VIENNA, October, 1902

I would like to offer the most sincere apology possible to all of the players in the game.

I now recognize that I have a lying problem. Really...more of a lying disease. Some days I have to lie before I get out of bed. I find myself lying several times each morning. I used to pass this off as just being misquoted, but that doesn't work anymore. I even lie to the cashier at drive up restaurants about my lunch order. I lie in the afternoon...and to my wife. I feel so ashamed.

I am planning to go to my first Liar's Annonymous meeting tonight. Honest. I hope that the twelve steps will help me conquer this problem of mine and that I may some day regain your trust.

I'm sure you are all very angry, and I wouldn't be surprised if you held my behavior against me...but I want to try to do something to make amens...

I have an idea...

What say I let you guys vote on who will control my forces for the coming year. If you vote for yourself you get 1/2 vote...if you vote for another country they will get a full vote...winner needs to get their orders to me by midday Friday?

Humbly, and with god's help,

Joe

DC290 spring 1902 adjudications - bobbarkerfan1   (Mar 07, 2010, 12:46 pm)
Goodday everyone,

Hope you all are having a good weekend. The orders are in and there was a lot of movement. Before we get to that though, I have some news and stuff to go through.

I have been getting a few questions regarding how my grace period system works, and I want to clarify all of it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let me define my grace period rule. Grace period is a 24 hour deadline extension, that all players are free to submit orders. Once player using grace period has orders in, or the 24 hours has expired, then I will adjudicate. Here are examples:


Harry Potter missed deadline, and gets orders in within grace period. His grace period is gone for next time.
Bella AND Harry both miss deadline another turn. A grace period begins. Same thing applies, except I adjudicate when I get Bella's orders or when 24 hours is up. If Harry gets orders in before I adjudicate, then they will be accepted. If I don't get his before I get Bella's, then Mr. Potter is outta luck, and should have saved his grace period.


Thomas the Tank Engine and Pee-Wee Herman both miss deadline for first time. I will adjudicate once I get both of their orders or after 24 hours. Doesn't matter when they get orders in after grace period is enacted. They both get 24 hours, and both lose grace period for next time.


And remember, all players are free to submit orders during grace periods, if you still have a grace period, if it is your grace period, or if it's someone else's grace period and you don't have yours.


Hopefully this clears things up for everybody. If you have further questions ask me. And I apologize fore not clearing this up earlier, but I thank you all for asking before these rules needed to be enacted.


and p.s. Ross. These rules are different than my DC280 rules. Keep that in mind. I think these work better than the rules I put in place in DC280.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With that out of the way, we get back to the game. We have a lot of action in Scandinavia, but no movement. The Russians are only able to move to Warsaw. The Brits have a similar situation with a failed convoy as well, and only get a fleet into the North Sea. Germany begins to mobilize its army, while the French are shifting units around trying to get set up. The Turks rearrange everything, and in spite of a failed Italian support, they get a fleet into the Aegean Sea. With all of that going on around them, the Austrians slowly begin moving north. Tune in next week to see how things play out!

ORDERS:
Austria:
A Budapest - Galicia
F Greece - Albania
A Serbia - Trieste
A Trieste - Tyrolia
A Vienna Supports A Trieste - Tyrolia

PRESS:
Published by TactPred - Tactical Predictions in the Practical Traditions, an independent intelligence agency working for a well informed humanity.

Title: Continental Concerns: Who is hungrier?

In the past year, as the European Powers have begun "military maneuvers," reports have been flying back and forth about the fate of Italy against an aggressive Austria and France against an agressive England. Pundits and politicians alike have been giving their opinions, usually of the inflammatory type. After all, politicians have voters to appease, and pundits have audiences to draw. But we at TactPred have desire only for truth. And our analysts have come up with some thoughts that are, as usual, highly contrary to "common sense." But we'd like to think by now we have proven the old adage that what is popular is not always right and what is right is not always popular.

French fears of England are entirely unfounded and can be dismissed wholesale. This is not to say the raising of a fleet in Marseilles was shortsighted, nor that said fleet is responsible for staying the thirst of England. No, it was the shocking builds of the Russians that have rendered the British impotent. Following tense negotiations, Russia has bowed to Turkish demands that they not work to regain their south. This aids the Turks in two ways - it frees up their hand instead of requiring them to defend their new gains, and it ensures England remains on the sidelines, which is ultimately the enemy of the Turks for continental domination. As an unintended consequence, it helps France. England is now stuck either trying to retake Norway or sacrificing the new build for a strategic reorganization. However, a 3 unit England is thoroughly crippled (even if the army is disbanded in the fall, which leaves them with 3 mobile but unthreatening fleets). England is not out of the game, but the idea England is still threatening France at the moment is absurd.

This leaves France with the choice to pounce on England, ram through Germany, or move south against the weaker Italian. While Italy seems like the best plan, it may not be strategically practical (for reasons we shall get to). Germany, with England engaged against Russia and Russia staking a huge claim in the north, might turn his attention to France. Attacking Russia has more longterm losses than shortterm gains. Once the army in Moscow dies, there is little stopping Turkey from gobbling up he majority of Russia, given that Russia's fleets can do absolutley nothing. Germany would have to be bold, indeed, to create such a vacuum without the resources to back it up. In any event, there is fear of a French move against Germany, or at least Belgium and Holland. That one army in Burgandy can cause quite some havoc without even moving. Germany would be wise to deal with France long before attacking Russia, which is playing a key role in directing power in the south east.

With Russia giving up southern claims, Turkey now has a chance to strike against Austria. Italian press has been very successful in painting the Austrian in a poor light, and Turkey could move against Austria "jointly" with Italy, feeding off the support Italy has worked hard to gain for itself. Italy would be hardpressed to defend against an Austrian offensive, and even harder to make an offensive against even a simple Austrian defense. Turkey has the greater ability to crush Austria, and therefore will overrun Austria with ease, and then moving against Italy (or Russia if desired). But then again, it is possible that Italy and Austria will see the rising threat and put past differences behind them to contain the Sultan's forces. Such a move directly supports Austria, but would also support Italian interests. A joint attack into the Aegean Sea would do much to hold Turkey back, but would ultimately help the Italians much more than Austria. In an Austrian/Turkish war without outside help, Turkey is poised for victory, or at least indefinate defense. If Austria fell, Italy would probably crumble next. But if Austria and Italy work to keep Turkey out of the Aegean, Turkey would only make gains in the north. Austria will still fall, but Italian forces could have time to take Tunis and organize a defense based on the Ionian Sea. And as long as Greece remains out of Turkish hands, Turkish efforts through the Mediterranean Sea could be stalled enough for a reorganization of Russian power.

Presuming success in the north for Russia, we expect to see Russia slowly reorganize its southern offensive. Russia would use the Norway build to make another fleet and secure its northern border and begin to move against England - Meanwhile that army in Finland will swing downward to make a show of force, and the next Russian build will assuredly be an army to counter the Turkish/Austrian forces (not joint forces, just whichever of those two forces are stronger by 1903 or 04). By then, Turkey and Austria will be locked in battle and Turkey will be frustrated against an Italian defense in the south (propping up Greece), but unable to withdraw fearing an Italian counter. Russia could work with Italy to exchange notes and use the battle to ensure their own gains - gains that once made will be difficult to lose again. Russia and Italy will not fight for quite some time, and Turkey and Austria will need quite a bit of cooperation - unlikely in the environment that by then will exist. And once Russia and Italy have defeated their mutual neighbors, they'll each go west, in their own way.

This is why earlier we had said France would be best served by attacking Italy. If France could get these growths for itself France would be better off. A strong Italy will be a disaster for France - once the Balkans have been sorted out, Italian fleets will have to go somewhere. But France can't really attack Italy any time soon because if Italy collapses Turkey will obliterate Austria, and the Turkish fleet production will far outsource the French fleets.

The key to domination in this worldview, for now, is control of Hungary. As long as Budapest remains under Austrian control, Turkey will be held back. If Turkey manages to get it, Austria will likely not recover. If Russia eventually gets Budapest, expect Italian and Russian forces to dominate their respective areas. If Italy gets Budapest, expect Russia and Italy to fight fiercely over their gains. We know Western Europe likes to take the spotlight, but in this case, it is the East that is where everyone's eyes ought to be......

VIENNA, Spring, 1902

It seems Ferdy is holding up well. After hanging around the dungeon for the last few months, I'm starting to see progress. Turns out he has a rather high pain threshold. This is really tiring out my right arm.

On other topics, I'd like to thank all of the players that warned me about the imminent Turkish attack on my rear flanks. If only....if only there had been some sign...some indication of what was coming...

Mistress Lash

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing. The shadow, even the darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you - That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding onto something."
"What are we holding onto, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for."

Have a great week everybody, and get those orders/press in,

Hey everyone,


Due to a missing set of orders, you all have some extra time to change orders if you need to. This player is charged a grace period and will simply get a NMR the next time a deadline is missed.


If anyone still wants to send press in feel free. I will adjudicate as soon as I get the missing orders, or until 9:00pm EST tomorrow night if I don't receive the orders.

Howdy everyone,

Sorry about all of that. I just want to say now that for now on, regardless of whether I will be gone or what, I am going to need orders in on time. Grace periods will still be awarded for the first "offense", then after that straight NMR's. Let's be on time people! Now on to the game. A lot of trash talking going on, this was a big season for press, so make sure you check all of that out. And just for clarification, if you decide to post anonymously, I will create a title for it myself, unless you provide me with one. The Ottomans seem to be building up for an attack, but keeping quiet as to where that will be. The German and Austrian armies are growing in size, abandoning the sea. Britain, Russia and France are all setting sail for the spring, while the poor Italians sit back and watch the arms race. Here's the builds:

ADJUSTMENTS:
Austria:
Build A Budapest
Build A Vienna

England:
Build F London

France:
Build F Marseilles

Germany:
Build A Kiel
Build A Berlin

Russia:
Build F St Petersburg(nc)

Turkey:
Build A Constantinople
Build A Ankara
Build F Smyrna

DEADLINE:
The deadline for spring 1902 will be ***Saturday, March 6th, 9:00pm EST*** Hopefully you can all get orders in as soon as you get this, and if not, get them in before the deadlines! I may not be able to send out warning e-mails.

I would like to thank the anonymous tipster regarding Turkey's impending stab. Now that the original message has been delivered, I had it flurospiocally analyzed and discovered that it had traces of both schnitzel and maranara sauce. Still unable to determine where the message originated.

Howdy everyone,

Sorry about all of that. I just want to say now that for now on, regardless of whether I will be gone or what, I am going to need orders in on time. Grace periods will still be awarded for the first "offense", then after that straight NMR's. Let's be on time people! Now on to the game. A lot of trash talking going on, this was a big season for press, so make sure you check all of that out. And just for clarification, if you decide to post anonymously, I will create a title for it myself, unless you provide me with one. The Ottomans seem to be building up for an attack, but keeping quiet as to where that will be. The German and Austrian armies are growing in size, abandoning the sea. Britain, Russia and France are all setting sail for the spring, while the poor Italians sit back and watch the arms race. Here's the builds:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A letter from a secret source has been intercepted heading for the Archduke of Austria:

"Hey Franz, don't be an idiot. The Sultan's gonna stab you."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

DATELINE SWITZERLAND, Bitter, Bitter December, 1901
Players, let's get back to the DipJeopardy board...

Bobbarkerfan: "We still have 4 categories... "Bodies of Water," "Liars & Cheats," "Words beginning with 'F'," and "Potpourri." ...and remember players, there is still one Daily Double to help you somewhere on the board."

Bobbarkerfan: "Mike, you've done very well so far, select a new category for us, won't you?"

Mike: "I'll take 'Words beginning with 'F' for $100,"

Bobbarkerfan: "And the answer is...'A medieval verse tale characterized by comic, ribald humor.'"

:::Kyle buzzes in:: "FLEETS -- as in fleets in the English Channel?"

Bobbarkerfan: "A clear violation of a earlier agreement, but not what we were looking for..."

:::Joe buzzes in::: "What is FLATULENCE?"

Bobbarken fan: "Name it and claim it, but no..."

:::Maslow buzzes in::: "I've had just about enough of this FREAKIN' over the top press. Also, Bob, I'd like to request a different podium, somewhere much further away from the Austrian...and do you happen to have an air freshener?"

:::buzz-buzz-buzz::: "Sorry, players, we were looking for 'What is fabliau?"

Bobbarkerfan: "Mike, you're still in control, select..."

Mike: "I'll take 'Words beginning with 'F'' for $200, bobbarkerfan."

Bobbarkerfan: "And the answer is 'Readily crumbled or brittle.'"

:::Kyle buzzes in::: "Bobbarkerfan, I have no idea, but I, too, would like a podium further away from the Austrian."

:::Matthew buzzes in:::: "What is foucault?"

Bobbarkenfan: "You're not entitled to use French words UNTIL you enter Paris..."

:::Justin buzzes in::: "Friable -- best exemplified by my former southern fleet."

Bobbarkerfan: "Remember to phrase your response in the form of a question..."

Justin: "What is friable -- best exemplified by my former southern fleet?"

Bobbarkerfan, "That's it."

Justin: "I'll take 'Words beginning with 'F'' for $300."

Boboarkerfan: "And the answer is...'What this game MOST needs at this moment?"

:::Kyle buzzes in::: "As Miss Universe, 1901, I think we should, like you know, have world piece."

:::all players again stare at Kyle in amazement.:::

:::Maslow buzzes in::: "What is fumigation?"

Bobbarkerfan: "Select..."

Maslow: "I'll take 'Words beginning with 'F'' for $400."

:::ding ding ding ding ding ding ding::::

Bobbarkerfan: ."It's our DAILY DOUBLE. Maslow, you trail at the moment, how much do you want to wager?"

Maslow: "I'll bet all my units in the coming year by not defending VEN and pulling a surprise convoy to ALB."

Bobbarkerfan: "And the answer is "Rocket 'J'"

:::long pause:::

Maslow: "What kind of crappy question is that? Bobbarkerfan, I have no idea, but let me say again that I gonna get that Austrian, if it's the last thing I do."

Bobbarkerfan: "Oh, sorry...and you wagered everything. We were looking for "Flying squirrel."

Maslow: "Let's finish up 'Words beginning with 'F'' for $500..."

Bobbarkerfan: "And the answer is...'Mistress Lash'"

:::Ross buzzes in::: "What is floppy?"

Bobbarkerfan: "True, but not what we were looking at...er, I mean looking for."

:::Michael buzzes in::: "What is flexible?"

Bobbarkerfan: "And how would you know that?"

:::Joe buzzes in::: "What is floozy?"

Bobbarkerfan: "A floozy with a whip...players...let's take a break. We need to get as many commercials in as NBC jammed down our throats in the 1900 winter olympics."


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

VIENNA, Winter, 1901

It pains Ferdy -- greatly -- to see what happened last turn. Please know that I would sincerely love to work with the Italian...I simply asked that he trade me ROM and VEN for GRE. Unbelievably...he got all upset and refused. Then I asked him to get down on all fours, bark like a dog and send a letter to all players saying that he had been a very bad boy. Apparently, he's is still considering the offer.

Mistress Lash

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That's it for press. Great job everybody, keep up the good work with the press, it adds a lot to the game. Have a good week, and get those orders in!

DC290 winter 1901 deadline - bobbarkerfan1   (Feb 28, 2010, 8:13 pm)
Hey everyone,

We have a few missing build orders. Because I was gone, I will extend the deadline to tomorrow night, but don't count on me being this generous again! Gotta keep the game flowing.

So if you haven't sent me your builds or want to change your builds you have until tomorrow night. Once I have an e-mail from everyone who has builds, I will adjudicate. So even if you don't want to order a build, you must still send me an e-mail saying you don't want to build.

Thank you!

Joey
