All,

Rather than ending the game, I’d like to propose we play the last turn again on the grounds that Austria did not participate in it in good faith because of his test and term paper due earlier today, a claim he himself raised in this evening’s correspondence. I believe that I have as much to lose from a replay of the turn as anyone. Yet I also believe that a replay of the turn is the only way to keep a majority of us who have now been playing this game for a couple of months from losing interest in it, not so much because of Austria’s orders but because of the way he failed to communicate with at least 4 of us throughout the entire turn.

Does anyone second my proposal?

David

Just so everyone knows, the game is not officially over (nor do I think it's an inevitable juggernaut... but I always think things can chance). What we'll do is with the summer retreat there will be a proposal to end the game. I'll explain more about that when it happens, but for now I just want to see Germany's retreats. We'll figure the rest of it out after that.

Hey... thanks everyone for getting your orders in on time. It's nice to be able to adjudicate within an hour of the deadline. We have some interesting situations developing here as the alliances appear to be taking shape. What will the future hold? We'll see soon enough!

I'm going to need two retreat orders from Germany. One is already reflected on the map (Kiel - Denmark) since it was the only option for that unit. The other (North Sea) has a number of intriguing options.

Austria:
F Ionian Sea Holds
A Trieste - Venice
A Vienna - Trieste

England:
F London - North Sea
F Edinburgh Supports F London - North Sea
A Liverpool - York
F Holland - Kiel
A Munich Supports F Holland - Kiel
F Belgium - Holland

France:
A Burgundy - Ruhr (*fails*)
A Paris - Picardy
F North Atlantic Ocean - Norwegian Sea (*bounce*)
A Marseilles - Piedmont
F Tyrrhenian Sea Convoys A Tuscany - Syria

Germany:
F North Sea - Edinburgh (*dislodged*)
A Kiel - Berlin (*dislodged*)
A Ruhr - Kiel (*fails*)

Italy:
A Tuscany - Syria (*fails*)
F Eastern Mediterranean Convoys A Tuscany - Syria
A Tyrolia - Bohemia
A Silesia - Berlin (*bounce*)

Russia:
F St. Petersburg - Barents Sea
F Norway - Norwegian Sea (*bounce*)
F Sweden - Skagarrak
A Rumania - Serbia
A Budapest Supports A Rumania - Serbia
A Galicia Supports A Budapest
A Warsaw Supports A Galicia
F Black Sea Holds

Turkey:
A Greece Holds
A Bulgaria Supports A Greece
F Aegean Sea Supports A Greece
F Constantinople Holds
F Smyrna Supports F Aegean Sea

Retreats:
Germany's F North Sea may retreat to Denmark, Helgoland Bight, English Channel, Belgium or OTB.
Germany's A Kiel may retreat to Denmark or OTB.

Next Deadline: Summer retreats due Thursday, Sept 17, noon CDT, but I'll send it out as soon as Germany lets me know.

Diplomacy games may contain lying, stabbing, or deliberately deceiving communications that may not be suitable for and may pose a hazard to young children, gullible adults, and small farm animals.
