DC332 Germany EOG - jason4747   (Nov 06, 2010, 7:57 pm)
Congrats Max, great game.  And thanks Chris, you are an outstanding GM.

 

I also agree - player of the game was Dirk.  What a negotiator.

 

For sure I did start out with the best of intentions for this game, but my personal life overran with more drama than I could handle, so to all, especially our excellent GM, I apologize.  I always do my best to aviod the dreaded NMR.

 

Anyway, I did start out the game writing to all, see who was up for what.  A basic flip of the coin and an idea I always wanted to try was team up with France, knock out England first and take over the world - sorry about that Bruce, but you were definitely going to zap me if I did not isolate you and knock you out.  You have a reputation as a tough player - so as a sign of respect I had to go for an early knockout.  Nothing you could have done.

 

Unfortunately for me and my solo ambition, Max is a heck of a lot better player than I am.  He basically whooped me (as Dirk and the rest of you consistenly pointed out) but I thought I could eventually take him out.   Well, that did not work out so well for me, but I am glad to see Max did get a solo.  I appreciate the rest of you and I am sorry I could not have really stayed with it better, but it was always interesting.

Jason

Thanks to Christopher, solid GM game.
Bruce indeed i now have the curse! that is, the reason Jason (Germany) and I started on England was because he was experienced.  Look forward to dip with you soon.


Jason I have to thank many times over because our solid alliance was the reason for our early success.......and only your real life committments and consequent lack of correspondence lead to me stabbing- otherwise id have stuck with you all the way.


Gabe- 1st game- wow! you did very well. One to watch for the future.


Kon- thanks for taking up the italian crown, and sticking at it.


Dirk- gets my vote for player of the game- because the odds were stacked heavily against him all the way, and he not only survived but was on a revival road at the end there. Also, he had me figured early on and his strong powers of persuasion were hard to counter- he nearly got the team up to stop me.


Brian, we didnt have a lot to discuss ever, but always good comms.


 


I look forward to playing with you all again soon


Best Wishes


Max


(and yes, my real name is Max Victory (thanks Ma n Pa Victory))

My congratulations to Max as well. 






Played how Diplomacy--and France--should be played; two well executed stabs of each of his early partners and essentially a done deal. But beware: you now have a solo too and you'll soon have that darn silver badge hanging next to your name on the DC boards...






Good luck and best regards!

I'd like to heartily agree about Chris.  You were excellent.  I really appreciated all of the (many) reminders you sent me. 

My
apologies for my personal inconsistencies, Dirk.  I know I was *really* inconsistent throughout this game.  It was my first game and I had a hard time keeping up on it.  I think in my future games I'll make more of an effort to talk to everybody. 

Good work, by the way, Max.  You played very well. 

Thanks everybody for playing.  I enjoyed myself a lot!

Chris, you did an excellent job at GM'ing by any measure, not to mention this was your first go at it. Well done, and thank you.

Max, you played as good a France as I've seen in - in the early game, in particular. Your solo is well-deserved: congratulations.

This was a frustrating game to play in, to the point where I don't want to say too much about it. I was a first year replacement player as Austria. I actually loved the position, because I felt my predecessor made good, aggressive moves that positioned me well, yet I could disavow the aggression and simply start with good position and new diplomatic relations. Unfortunately, I was surrounded by players who were inconsistent and unpredictable. Keeping their word one season, breaking it the next; moving coordinated one season, acting paranoid the next. It completely
bogged down the east. As such, all of us stayed at a low or medium number of centers until game end. Then, the inability to band together and force a draw with France - which was absolutely was in our reach - gave Max a solo that, while it could have been prevented, his play certainly deserved.

While not a particularly good game for me, I thought I did a nice job tactically, managing to grow even as RT moved against me together at the end of the game while I was essentially isolated. Also I liked Kon, the Italian replacement player. I regret we weren't in a position to do something more interesting together. Other than these things, I'm glad to see dc332 more into my rearview mirror.

Congrats again Max, and thanks again Chris!

DC332 End Game Proposal - cfisher6   (Oct 28, 2010, 1:07 am)
Gents,
 
There's an EGP on the table for a French solo, with votes due this Fall's moves (Sunday 23:59 GMT). If you've already sent in your orders for this Fall, please send me another email with whether you vote YES or NO for the proposal. The proposal must be unanimous in order to pass. A no vote will be counted as a rejection and the proposal will fail.
 
Thanks,
Chris

DC332 Spring 1907 Adjudication - cfisher6   (Oct 11, 2010, 8:43 pm)
Spring 1907 sees trench lines solidifying across Europe as armies grapple for maneuvering space. German soldiers in Kiel abandon the war effort as French forces cross the Denmark border while there was reported fighting in the streets of Berlin between Russian and German troops. In the Balkans Austria's Rumanian army took Serbia with the support of forces in Budapest.

We have an NMR from Germany this season, unfortunately. Per the Diplomatic Corp house rules I destroyed the F Skaggerak and A Bohemia. The rules are quoted below for anyone interested.
 
Germany F Skaggerak and A Bohemia destroyed.
Italian F Tyrhennian destroyed.
Austrian A Piedmont destroyed.
Turkey build F Smyrna and A Constantinople.
Russia build F St Petersburg (NC).
France build F Brest.
 
Deadline for Spring 1907 moves is Monday 23:59 GMT.
 
" On a Winter turn an NMR (NBR/NDR) would mean that if the player was building - the builds would be waived and if the player was disbanding, units would be disbanded under the following rules
Units furthest from the nearest home center before units closer to the nearest home center
Units not in a supply center before units in a supply center if equidistant from home
Fleets before armies if still no unique unit selected per above
Alphabetical "
