Diplo Game 4 - Spring 1908 - Retreats Due Thursday

Grundbegriff · Post by **Grundbegriff** » Thu Feb 07, 2008 1:54 am

I don't know if I'll be able to get moves in by Thursday night. I work all day and teach all night tomorrow.

Could we ratchet back the pace slightly? I've made a couple of moves in haste so far, without having a chance to discuss them fully (or, in one case, at all), and the haste is cutting into the fun.

Personally I’m ok with France not submitting moves.

It's your game, I'm okay with slowing it up. Moves due Saturday which is maybe a bit long but it will accommodate Tru1cy better. (And if it turns out to be Sunday I'll allow him time to respond to PM's and get his moves in when he can. We have plenty of time.

Works for me.

FYI: baby is scheduled to be here Monday 2/11. Assuming I can get 3G access from the room, I'll be able to post Fall orders by Tuesday night. I need to print off some blank maps and take them with me so I can play with the options.

See? I told you Germany was looking to expand with another build.

It may be tonight before Tru1cy can get back and get his moves in. Just FYI.

I'm training my new Overlords sales folks today so I won't get any updates in until this evening in all likelihood.

Fyi-I've already voiced my lack of enjoyment of this type of game to Austin and Remus West so I will not be contesting any of my remaining territories. Sorry, if this rubs any players the wrong way, but I see no sense for me to continue with a game I just not having any fun with.

Austin · Post by **Austin** » Fri Feb 15, 2008 9:41 am

Well, I'll find a replacement. Anyone want to take France over?

I'll take it! I could use some land with Western sun exposure.

But seriously I'll ask around. Tru1cy is cool with that and that is what is most fair in this situation I think.

Chaos is coming! Chaos is coming!

Tru1cy is relieved to be relieved.

NO RETREAT! NO SURRENDER! (unless it's during a build/retreat/rule appropriate stage)

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Fri Feb 15, 2008 9:57 am

And I have arrived to preserve the dignity of the French retreat, er, Victory!

Let me see where we are who's who and what's up.

Austin,

Could you update the title of the thread to indicate when the next orders are due?

Oh, and Welcome aboard Chaos. I hope you like pasta and schnitzel!

stessier · Post by **stessier** » Fri Feb 15, 2008 10:13 am

Nevermind.

Here is the Fall1904 Diplo File just waiting for orders. Spring1904R.jdip

Edit: PM's sent to the players who have not checked in yet, alerting them to the player change.

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Fri Feb 15, 2008 10:23 am

Wait, how are we doing orders?

Fabulous, I'll be alive long enough to learn how to submit final orders

If the rest of you wish to concede now, I will gladly accept. Or vote for a mutual win.

Otherwise, HAVE AT YOU!

Just send them to me and I'll make the corrections that are necessary before forwarding them on to Austin. It's the least I can do.

In my experience, it's not very hard to bring a country back from only two centers. And here you have a whole four units until this winter! You have it easy.

For the record I would like it known that France called me a “Peu Peu Head”.

Then all the other countries have Hold Orders assigned to their units, if you go by the rules

Lordnine · Post by **Lordnine** » Tue Feb 19, 2008 4:03 am

Sounds good, sounds good. I’ve changed my mind France, let’s join together and ravage the weak and forgetful! We can take them unaware and claim their lands before they have time to respond!

Muahahahahahaha!

*yawn* Sorry, I woke up yesterday, saw my shadow and went back to sleep.
