Has anybody heard from Happy? Just checking...

No. I shall be amending my orders for an early strike on England accordingly.

I have also not heard from him.  The only player I've not heard from, actually.

BREAKING: Lunar admits conpiring with all players against all other players...

He admitted that in the pm he sent me a week ago, so it's hardly "breaking" now.

It's a slow news day in Constantinople.

But Happy hasn't posted in this thread either - when's the last time he even posted on this board? He stated he wanted to play in the next game, when exactly? I know it was months ago.

Just hoping there's a backup plan. Smiley

The only Diplomacy related post of Happy Warrior's I can find is the original request he made to play in Game #1 - here.

If he hasn't specifically expressed a wish to partake in this game, then it would seem to me prudent to delay the opening moves for another week and install a new player in his stead.

I once watched that movie twice, back to back, with long commercials.

Absolutely! shall set off immediately on my trusty steed!

Wow, that is one ugly Llama!  Why does the back third look like a sheep dog and the middle third look like a sheep?

Clearly, I don't actually understand Diplomacy.
Can someone explain how the Austrian fleet took Greece?

The unit in Greece cannot cut support on an attack going into Greece.

Quote from: muon2 on April 05, 2009, 07:44:18 AM
A unit cannot cut support that is directed at that unit.

Thanks guys; wasn't aware of that.
To whom do I write to correct this silly rule? Wink

I have no objection to anything Lunar has set out above.
On the aesthetics of the maps, I agree with Lewis.

Question: Do we have a player for England?
If not, what (if any) efforts are being/should be being made to get someone in place?

I don't think we need a draw- I think Germany should be dictating peace terms!

MIAOW (the Meeting of Italian, Austrian and Ottoman Warlords) are ad idem on the issue of a peaceful settlement. The view having been expressed by my colleagues already within this thread.

However, Germany is not in a position to dictate terms on us. Opportunities for German advancement against us are few, if any. His opportunities for a significant number of simple captures against France are quite evident though. Presuming he times that right, then the Ottoman, Austrian, French and Italian State Heads might not be able to prevent an outright German win.

I cannot fathom of any reason for England being so excluded from these discussions, given the major role I am likely to play in the future battles.

Ah yes, unfortunately those discussion are limited to the British, Austrian, Italian and Turkish InterNational Group.

In a thoroughly expected move, Turkey requests navies in Switzerland and Ireland.

My Austrian friend, he had to choose whether to defend Trieste or Budapest....

Sorry, thought you meant the game generally.
Though I suppose, it amounts to much the same thing.

I knew I should've started a "Germany Supply Center Watch" earlier... oh well, only a matter of time before he goes public.

Mmm...

Germany Supply Center Watch

German Centres, Spring 1913: 14
(Berlin, Kiel, Munich, Holland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Edinburgh, London, St Petersburg, Warsaw, Moscow, Vienna, Rome)

Further centres required for outright win: 4

Soft Targets: Portugal, Brest, Liverpool, Belgium, Paris, Naples
Moderate Targets: Trieste, Budapest

Oh dear...

Germany Supply Center Watch

German Centres, Autumn 1913: 15
(Berlin, Kiel, Munich, Holland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Edinburgh, London, St Petersburg, Warsaw, Moscow, Vienna, Rome, Trieste)

Further centres required for outright win: 3

Soft Targets: Budapest, Tunis, Belgium, Paris, Brest
Moderate Targets:  Serbia, Rumania, Liverpool


I reiterate to France that if your objective is, as it appears, simply to facilitate a German victory, let us know and we can arrange that very quickly. There's no point playing out an inevitable that could take weeks when we could all enjoy getting a new game underway.

A new game would make a certain amount of sense.

FYI It's cute that you keep listing French targets , almost hopefully Smiley, but clearly an end-of-game betrayal would make no sense on my part since I'll want people to have at least a basic amount of trust in me in the following game Smiley.  I've only made one stab in these two games [and have otherwise been ridiculously loyal], England of this game, and it was mostly such a powerful stab because I had already made agreements and England had switched players in the opening stages and I was presented with a once in a Diplomacy-time opportunity...but srsly, Liverpool?  It'd take me at least five turns to get a ship up there, raising questions for five weeks as to why I even built a ship let alone keep moving it towards France haha.

Muon, I'll be building two armies in Berlin and Munich once the build orders come around, for what it's worth.  So, minimum seven turns now for Liverpool and five for Brest. Wink

If we do start a new game, I'd like to offer switching places with Gustaf if I'm able.

Well, the real audience for the chart is France rather than anyone else - which explains much of the above. You're quite right in what you say - I don't really expect you to turn on France now - the route to victory otherwise is too easy. Had we managed to hold the allied line earlier, then maybe things would have been different.

Anyway, at this stage, I'm just really interested in what France is/has been up to. Why and for how long has aiding an outright German win been his objective?

I know there has been some talk about how and when this game might wind down, but I haven't seen any unanimous agreement yet. In the meantime, I've only received one set of orders for Spring 1914. Should there be a hiatus to negotiate a conclusion?

I don't see why a hiatus is necessary or useful. dead0 simply hasn't responded to any messages PMs or public posts for quite some time now. Clearly he's not up to talking. Of course, it's his prerogative not to engage - but in the circumstances, pausing the game won't get us anywhere. Might as well play it out...

Or, of course, I'm also open to a declaration that those powers who didn't submit orders should be considered to have resigned Wink
