Russia retreats to GoB and Moscow... and then... some builds:
Austria: Build A Vienna
England: Build A Liverpool
France: Build A Brest
Germany: Build A Berlin, F Kiel
Russia: Remove F Gulf of Bothnia, F Sevastopol
Turkey: Remove F Aegean Sea
I'll generally do retreats and builds like this, combined. It just saves having one extra adjudication... Spring 03 next Tuesday! June 25, 3pm Central.
Enjoy,

at the same speed, the speed of light.......the phrase the deadline is fast approaching is of course wrong...its not fast approaching, it doesnt have a speed, its a point in time relevant only because you the GM make the rules on when a turns orders must be in by.....

Hello,
Friendly reminder here that this game is quickly approaching its deadline... or if your frame of reference is within the game, then the deadline is quickly approaching the game. The real question arises when you ponder if the game was to be moving at the speed of light... at what speed would the deadline be approaching it? Could one argue then that accelerating the game would make the deadline never arrive?
Monday!

Hi everyone,
I wanted to get this rolling... I've been swamped lately so if I don't just put it out then it won't happen. So here's the roster! First deadline - next Wednesday 5/22, 3pm Central US time. That's a little over a week so you have some time for this first season. They won't generally be that long. This is quite the international bunch with 5 countries represented... Fun!

| dc458 - Time Zones - FuzzyLogic (May 14, 2013, 9:52 am) |
Time Zones... Since this is such a geographically diverse game it's worth noting. My deadlines will always be 3pm Central US time, which is GMT-5. For those in the States and Canada, it's pretty easy to figure your time... Buenos Aires is +2 from me... so 5pm your time... UK is +6 from me, so they'll be 9pm London time... and NZ is a whopping +17 from me. (or, -7 on the following day)... so a 3pm Central deadline on Wed is for you, 8am on Thurs. Keep this in mind when negotiating near the deadline, that it is first thing in the morning for one of our players, and for that player, a Friday US deadline (which I do often) might fall on a Saturday morning. Point is, don't leave your negotiating or order submitting till the last minute - especially in a widespread game. Because of this, I won't have any deadline shorter than 2 days.
Enjoy,
-mike

Greetings!
Welcome everyone, to what is about to become the four hundred and fifty-eighth game of Diplomaticcorp Diplomacy!
This will be a normal pace game. For anyone playing in the blitz, that should warrant a deep sigh of relief... we'll run at about a week per major season. So 5 days for a Spring/Fall and 2 days for a Summer/Winter will be pretty standard. I've come to like that pace for keeping the game moving yet giving everyone enough time to negotiate.
There are quite a few new players in this game -- please write back and let me and the group know that you've actually played the game before, understand the rules, how email Diplomacy works, etc. Everyone should send out a little intro really... like... "I'm 39, lie often in these games, and will most likely stab you when you least expect it." Or... maybe a little less honest, or perhaps touch on a bit of non-Dip stuff and let ppl figure that part of you out as you go. Like me! Besides running games, we're renovating our basement this year and last year finished a mega tree fort project... (www.sims-family.net/treehouse)
What else... Oh yes, the rules. You should take a look over my house rules: www.sims-family.net/dip/houserules.htm. At least click the link, see how long they are, then decide not to read them. Or read the first and sixth word of each line and presume the rest. Or just figure rules are rules and wait till one bites you in the butt to protest. They basically cover things related to the email adaptation of Diplomacy -- like delays and deadlines. I can't emphasize enough that I like to run the turns when I say I will -- so if you are late, chances are you will just get an NMR and all your units will hold.
And speaking of NMRs... At least for those of you who are new, I do need to know that you are here to play this game to the end, even if you get slammed right off! Gotta figure by the probabilities alone, around half of you are going to have things go ways you'd rather they not. Be sure you are committed to a game that could go 6 months to a year of real life time! If you're moving to Saturn next month, please don't join the game now, then tell me in a month "sorry I gotta go I'm moving to Saturn".
So at this point, we have 9 ppl listed here for a 7 player game. You all need to reply to me, the group, etc, let me know you're ready to go. The first 7 to do so will get in! The other two can join the next open game, which is already open.
Enjoy!

I'm Justin, a 34 yo software engineer who is also running a game on DC at the moment. (DC450). I'm still pretty new to this, but do have a couple games under my belt now. No wins though.
I'm in

Greetings!
Welcome everyone, to what is about to become the four hundred and fifty-eighth game of Diplomaticcorp Diplomacy!
This will be a normal pace game. For anyone playing in the blitz, that should warrant a deep sigh of relief... we'll run at about a week per major season. So 5 days for a Spring/Fall and 2 days for a Summer/Winter will be pretty standard. I've come to like that pace for keeping the game moving yet giving everyone enough time to negotiate.
There are quite a few new players in this game -- please write back and let me and the group know that you've actually played the game before, understand the rules, how email Diplomacy works, etc. Everyone should send out a little intro really... like... "I'm 39, lie often in these games, and will most likely stab you when you least expect it." Or... maybe a little less honest, or perhaps touch on a bit of non-Dip stuff and let ppl figure that part of you out as you go. Like me! Besides running games, we're renovating our basement this year and last year finished a mega tree fort project... (www.sims-family.net/treehouse)
What else... Oh yes, the rules. You should take a look over my house rules: www.sims-family.net/dip/houserules.htm. At least click the link, see how long they are, then decide not to read them. Or read the first and sixth word of each line and presume the rest. Or just figure rules are rules and wait till one bites you in the butt to protest. They basically cover things related to the email adaptation of Diplomacy -- like delays and deadlines. I can't emphasize enough that I like to run the turns when I say I will -- so if you are late, chances are you will just get an NMR and all your units will hold.
And speaking of NMRs... At least for those of you who are new, I do need to know that you are here to play this game to the end, even if you get slammed right off! Gotta figure by the probabilities alone, around half of you are going to have things go ways you'd rather they not. Be sure you are committed to a game that could go 6 months to a year of real life time! If you're moving to Saturn next month, please don't join the game now, then tell me in a month "sorry I gotta go I'm moving to Saturn".
So at this point, we have 9 ppl listed here for a 7 player game. You all need to reply to me, the group, etc, let me know you're ready to go. The first 7 to do so will get in! The other two can join the next open game, which is already open.
Enjoy!
