.ExternalClass .EC_hmmessage P {padding:0px;} .ExternalClass body.EC_hmmessage {font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma;} 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 LATER deadline to make sure that all get a proper chance to play the game.

dc179 Blackmarch Spring 01 Results - CHANGE for up... - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
All,
Per a player request, we will maintain our deadline of this Friday [5pm since I didn't note it before]
BUT we will change the retreat/build deadline subsequent to those orders to be Monday the 5th at
5pm CST. That will allow one of our players who is out of town time to get builds in [and avoid having
to write ridiculously conditional builds/retreats].

Thanks.

Off at last...seems a pretty standard opening
Bounce in the Black Sea

Nothing too out of the ordinary and we are off. I apologize for the slight
delay getting results out. Only one slight hiccup [an Italian misorder] but
other than that all is good.

NEXT DEADLINE: Fall 1901 Friday May 2nd CST

From there we will have retreats/builds/disbands due over the weekend unless someone has an issue with that. We won't always follow that pattern because I will be out of town for the next few weekends. We will have to workaround that. If someone can't/doesn't check email on the weekends then let me know and we can go with a different timing for retreats/builds.

The Chancellor announces an end to Competition and the
onset of Cooperation. 'To all our European
brothers and sisters, we extend the hand of friendship
and support. Yet we remind those that our hand is iron at the core, though gloved in velvet. Mistake not our intentions as weakness, nor our reluctance for aggression as pacificism.'

LotM-All: A bit about the game name. Blackmarch is a barony of the Commonwealth in a story I am writing. It is so named because of the ancient battle that took place where an older race, the Ichakans, tried to force the indigenous peoples into submission. Eventually the Ichakan were successful and Blackmarch became a part of the Ancient Empire. Today it is a powerful barony due to its proximity to the Commonwealth capital.

.ExternalClass .EC_hmmessage P {padding:0px;} .ExternalClass body.EC_hmmessage {font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma;} All,
We have our confirmations and we are ready to roll with dc179 - Blackmarch.

Our lineup is as follows:

Austria-Hungary - Joe - jhack16(at)gmail.com ([email]jhack16(at)gmail.com[/email])

England - Matt - kelly058(at)verizon.net ([email]kelly058(at)verizon.net[/email])

Russia - Will - wtfleming(at)hotmail.com ([email]wtfleming(at)hotmail.com[/email])

Turkey - Frederik - blom.fredrik(at)gmail.com ([email]blom.fredrik(at)gmail.com[/email])

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

The deadline for Spring 01 is:

Friday April 25th 5PM Central Time [United States]

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


Remember, orders aren't confirmed until you get an email back from me stating such. For multiple versions of orders, I like to use the following format:

Blackmarch [or dc119]: English Orders S01 [1]

and then vary the number in parentheses for each subsequent set. As a rule of thumb, you should send in orders pretty quick as conditional and then change them after diploming. This often avoids the dastardly NMR [no moves requested]. NMRs result in all units standing and two NMRs puts your country in anarchy for the remainder of the game [and draws the ire of your GM who WILL do all he can to have you greylisted from the site].

I am attaching a copy of my house rules. Please feel free to ask me any questions. I will have the dcsite for our game updated shortly and will copy all communications to the dc179 Forum on the website.

Enjoy and best of luck!

Cheers,
G - Lord of the March

dc179 Blackmarch S02 Results with Retreats Needed - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
Everyone is Russia's Friend; Multiple People Supply Support to Rumania
Austria and France Under Siege? England Attacking Everyone at Once?

All - two retreats are needed. Those reflected on the map are conditional.

Hol needs to retreat. I retreated to Kie but they also have the choice of retreating to Ruh.
Tri needs to retreat. I retreated to Ser but they also have the choice of retreating to Alb.

Unless Joe or Paul wants another retreat, assume that these are where the units are. IF they want another and send me
an email stating such, I will reply to everyone to let them know.

Our next deadline [Fall 1902] is Sunday the 18th at 5pm CST. I will adjudicate that night when I return to town.
I WILL have access to email sporadically so I will confirm orders once a day between now and then.

A side note - there seems to be some unhappiness with my GMing. Given this, I will open the door to say that if you guys wish,
I will ask for a replacement GM on your behalf. I am quite happy to do so and I am sure that someone will eventually be willing
to take you guys on. Your call.

As an extra side note - since we are disparaging both my timing AND the GM call I made - please note: I did not have all orders ANYWAY
when I decided to push the original timeline due to the late French build so I know that some of you benefitted from that; one can never know but an
NMR could have happened.

Whatever though. I don't want to get into a pitched argument over what could or could not have been NOR my timing of the adjudications. If a majority votes,
I am happy to step down because the bickering is unhealthy for the game.

To the results...

Spring 1903 is tentatively set for June 1st at 1pm CST. That is a long deadline due to me being out of town. I will still try to find a sub GM for the week
today and tomorrow and will update you if I have luck. I went ahead and set the provisional deadline in case I have no luck. Additionally, because it

Hopefully I will have news shortly about a replacement for the week. If not, let's target that deadline above.

dc179 Blackmarch A02 Results: Retreats IN, Next Up... - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
All,
As I suspected, Steven was just a bit late getting back in town. I got his retreat later last night. The retreats were:

A Bel-Bur
A Bud-Tri

So that leaves us with the following builds/disbands:

Autumn 1902 Adjustments:
A: Gre, Ser, Tri, -Bud, -Vie = 3; Loses 2.
E: +Bre, Bel, Nwy, Edi, Lon, Lpl = 6; Gains 1.
F: +Por, Spa, Mar, -Bre, -Par = 3; Loses 1.
G: Den, +Par, Hol, Ber, Kie, Mun = 6; Gains 1.
I: +Tun, +Vie, Rom, Ven, Nap = 5; Gains 2.
R: Sev, +Bud, +Rum, Mos, Swe, StP, War = 7; Gains 2.
T: Bul, Con, Ank, Smy = 4; No change.

Builds/Disbands:
A: Remove 2
E: Build 1
F: Remove 1
G: Build 1
I: Build 2
R: Build 2
T: None

I have already received many of the build orders. I just need disbands and the few remaining build orders. Let's please target Wednesday May 21st at 5pm CST for the remainder of these. NOTE: any build orders already submitted
CAN be altered up until that time if the player wishes based upon the retreats.

Thanks.

France Holds [Intentionally] and Suffers.
Retreats Required.

Given some previous concerns with my automatic retreats last time, it is probably more prudent for me NOT to take that approach this time.
Two retreats are required from our turn and we will not have our build/disbands until those are ordered. I have still listed builds below for those who are curious.
RETREATS NEEDED ARE:

A Bud - can retreat to Tri or disband [OTB retreat]
A Bel - can retreat to Bur or Pic OR disband [OTB retreat]

Please note - the map still reflects both of these units [roughly] in their current placement PRE-RETREAT orders.

For retreats, let's have those as soon as possible. Deadline for those is 5pm CST Monday the 19th if possible. We would then target Tuesday or Wednesday for builds/disbands.

An additional administrative note: I am going to be on vacation next week and I am going to try to get a GM sub for the S03 round. If unable to get one, we will have a slightly longer
S03 round. I will advise this [hopefully] when I send out notification of what builds/disbands are required.

Hopefully this works for all.

Oh, one other note: the French moves are legitimate and not the result of an NMR.

dc179 Blackmarch A02 Results: Waiting on French Re... - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
Start the clock now on a 24 hour grace period. I know that he was out of town for the weekend so hopefully this is merely a result of him returning home late.

Once I have that retreat we can move to builds/disbands. I already have several build orders. Hopefully that means that we won't have to wait long.

NOTE: I am making the declaration now - if I receive no retreat from France it will be OTB. This is only fair given that NO provisional retreat was given by me due to previous
retreats being disliked by the players. I am also ruling as such because this unit, at time of dislodgement, becomes the furthest unit from home centers that does not currently
reside in a center.

Hopefully this is considered a fair treatment.

dc179 Blackmarch S02 Reminder - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
As of now, I have confirmed all received orders. It is Saturday midday.

One note: Austria has sent in a change to his retreat. He retreats to Alb in lieu of the retreat that I gave. Please make a note
accordingly.

I have not received orders from all at this point. I will check in again tonight to confirm emails but then won't be able to tomorrow
until right before the adjudication.

Oh, and I don't, as of now, know of any NMR possibility. I was referencing what could have happened, not what I know to be forthcoming.

Austria and France Under Siege? England Attacking Everyone at Once?

All - two retreats are needed. Those reflected on the map are conditional.

Hol needs to retreat. I retreated to Kie but they also have the choice of retreating to Ruh.
Tri needs to retreat. I retreated to Ser but they also have the choice of retreating to Alb.

Unless Joe or Paul wants another retreat, assume that these are where the units are. IF they want another and send me
an email stating such, I will reply to everyone to let them know.

Our next deadline [Fall 1902] is Sunday the 18th at 5pm CST. I will adjudicate that night when I return to town.
I WILL have access to email sporadically so I will confirm orders once a day between now and then.

A side note - there seems to be some unhappiness with my GMing. Given this, I will open the door to say that if you guys wish,
I will ask for a replacement GM on your behalf. I am quite happy to do so and I am sure that someone will eventually be willing
to take you guys on. Your call.

As an extra side note - since we are disparaging both my timing AND the GM call I made - please note: I did not have all orders ANYWAY
when I decided to push the original timeline due to the late French build so I know that some of you benefitted from that; one can never know but an
NMR could have happened.

Whatever though. I don't want to get into a pitched argument over what could or could not have been NOR my timing of the adjudications. If a majority votes,
I am happy to step down because the bickering is unhealthy for the game.

DC179 - Unpleasantness - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
Gentlefolk of DC-179 ...

Feel obliged to step in here concerning some comments that have been posted on the DC-179 forum. I sympathize with the player frustration, but would like to make several points clear.


1. All GMs on Diplomaticcorp are volunteers. We do not get paid to do this - we do it because we love the game and because we want to ensure that those who love it as much as we do have an opportunity to play.


2. Some GMs on DC have more experience at running games than others - this is simply the nature of the beast. Those who run games that appear seamless to the players have been through or had just as many pratfalls and screw-ups as those who are currently having troubles in their games. This is how we learn and grow - and develop a broad base of GMs to ensure as many games as possible can run.


3. Except in rare cases where real-life matters intervene or the GM finds himself unable to continue - we do not replace GMs at DC. Indeed - one of the things that I love about this community is that GMs are able to run their games with no heavy-handedness from the Moderators.


4. Garry is working with Steve and the other moderators to ensure that future adjudications will follow in a timely manner. If players are on time with their orders, it is totally agreed that the GM should follow suit with the turn adjudication. Concerning the rest of the raised issues:


a) The Late Build - I admit that Garry asked my advice on what to do here. I told him that since it was a FRIENDLY game, and not tournament play, that he should be all right to allow the build assuming that he explained the rationale to the players. He did so in a very reasonable manner, and quite frankly I fail to see where the disgruntlement on this topic is coming from. As I was the one asked for advice on this one - anyone who feels that I told Garry wrongly may feel free to write me and discuss the matter.


b) The NMR - No Move's Received happen in games. I admit that I do not know the full details on this one, but once again - anyone who feels shafted by this may contact me and discuss it. We will review Garry's house rules together - or the club default HR's if Garry does not have a full set of his own.


c) The Retreats - In Garry's latest adjudication, it says very clearly that he defaulted retreats - but that if players CHOSE OTHERWISE to just let him know and he would correct the adjudication. I do this myself when there is only one retreat option other than OTB - in this case Garry's style differs slightly from mine. With the option clearly given and explained to change that retreat, there is no unfairness to the players that I can see.


Once again - any players that feel as though they are being given a raw deal in this game may contact Garry directly, or address the issue with myself or any of the other moderators. I would look forward to discussing any of these points in further detail.


Best regards,


Trout

dc179 Blackmarch Official Gamestart - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
All,
We have our confirmations and we are ready to roll with dc179 - Blackmarch.

Our lineup is as follows:

Austria-Hungary - Joe - jhack16(at)gmail.com ([email]jhack16(at)gmail.com[/email])

England - Matt - kelly058(at)verizon.net ([email]kelly058(at)verizon.net[/email])

France - Steven - gwingfan2(at)yahoo.com ([email]gwingfan2(at)yahoo.com[/email])

Germany - Paul - jehannum_raver(at)yahoo.com ([email]jehannum_raver(at)yahoo.com[/email])

Italy - Danny - dannyandjenny(at)comcast.net ([email]dannyandjenny(at)comcast.net[/email])

Russia - Will - wtfleming(at)hotmail.com ([email]wtfleming(at)hotmail.com[/email])

Turkey - Frederik - blom.fredrik(at)gmail.com ([email]blom.fredrik(at)gmail.com[/email])

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

The deadline for Spring 01 is:

Friday April 25th 5PM Central Time [United States]

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


Remember, orders aren't confirmed until you get an email back from me stating such. For multiple versions of orders, I like to use the following format:

Blackmarch [or dc119]: English Orders S01 [1]

and then vary the number in parentheses for each subsequent set. As a rule of thumb, you should send in orders pretty quick as conditional and then change them after diploming. This often avoids the dastardly NMR [no moves requested]. NMRs result in all units standing and two NMRs puts your country in anarchy for the remainder of the game [and draws the ire of your GM who WILL do all he can to have you greylisted from the site].

I am attaching a copy of my house rules. Please feel free to ask me any questions. I will have the dcsite for our game updated shortly and will copy all communications to the dc179 Forum on the website.

Enjoy and best of luck!

Cheers,
G - Lord of the March
