I just wanted to thank all for a great (if long) game.
But especially to my partner Jorge, for sticking with me for a very strong end, to Mike, who stepped into a weak turkish position and held the line far longer then we could have expected (and teaching me a few things along the way) and Doug, who stuck out an impossible position for longer then I can credit, and playing the sides off to perfection to keep his micro-empire alive. No one earned a survivor credit more.
And I would like to note, the turning point, from my perspective was in the first years of the game when I did not take a vulnerable St Petes when Russia would have fallen to Austria and Turkey, forming the alliance that lasted the entire game.
Good Game everyone, see you all on the next board!

Jason

Folks...

Once again, Trout is on drugs.

It was NOT a DIAS that was proposed, but an English / Russian Draw. That is what passed - not a vote on a DIAS.

Thanks to the players that pointed out my error here. Apologies for any confusion. This game ends in an [u:81bca5d3de]E/R DRAW!

[/u:81bca5d3de](good grief... See - you guys CAN do a better job at this than I can...) =P

And how could I refuse a request like that? Yes, the DIAS draw passes with five enthusiastic votes and peace falls on the European continent once more. For the sake of things, I ran through the Fall 1913 adjudication but it changes little and the board remains dead-locked. Therefore, this game is one for the books. My thanks and congratulations to all you players for playing this one out to the bitter end. It was a hard-fought one, that's for sure. End-of-game statements are, of course, very welcome.

For the record, for all of you folks who watched what I did, shrugged their shoulders and said 'Meh, I could do that,' then have I got an offer for you.. Diplomaticcorp is currently looking for GM's to step up and put me in my place. Whether you have lots of experience, or have never GM'd a single game, we'd love to have you. If you're interested (and I *know* you are) just drop me, Sims or Penger a line...

Once again, my hearty congratulations to you guys for the draw. Thanks for putting up with all the horrendous poetry with nary a protest.. =)

Cheers!
