Smid's Diplomacy Game Thread #2

[dead0man]

You can blame me for that.  I sent him some pre-victory celebratory extra "special" absinthe I had my viticulturist make for us.

[minionofmidas]

Sorry. Completely forgot late yesterday.

I dissolve Piemonte.

This is what you get for not being online for three days and for having allies not online at the same time as myself.
And said ally not doing enough thinking on his own.

I retreat to Naples.

There are no retreats, so the position to begin Fall 1912 is as follows:

[ilikeverin]

Holy crap F Apulia's arrow is gigantic

[dead0man]

Yeah, I get that a lot.

[Lunar]

crap, I made all of those elaborate moves to hold onto Vienna and I bungled the most important support,

and that's a big arrow

[muon2]

That was a feature I liked with the jDip program. The movement arrows and hold fortifications get more intense as support is increased. We don't see three supports of a move too often. The hold in ion isn't bad either with two supports.

[ilikeverin]

Yeah, I get that a lot.

Well any time you wanna hook me up with that big arrow, you let me know, m'kay?

[Хahar 🤔]

First time I've seen that smiley in use.

[dead0man]

Fleet at Mar please and thank you

[Lunar]

Italy giving up?

[minionofmidas]

disband Apulia.

Italy giving up?

Just shapeshifting into an amorphous New European Order that controls the movements of French, Turkish and Austrian units without a physical presence on the board.

Teehee, I guessed right!

[Lunar]

I'll win the coinflip eventually...

[minionofmidas]

Good game while it lasted (apart from the early rounds).

Although Muon, I don't believe your ridiculous story about my support failing, the supported unit's order not matching support given, or not being able to retreat and having my unit destroyed.

[Јas]

I'll win the coinflip eventually...

Who's on the other side of the coin?
