Re: Of Emperors and Presidents IC
War With Germany!
May the best man win. I mean that sincerely. If I weren't hundreds of miles away I'd shake your hand and say "let's have a good [dirty] fight."
-
Re: Of Emperors and Presidents IC
After hearing the Italians offer to shake hands the Kaiser became quite enthusiastic. "Oh boy", he said, "they're finally gonna let me in their club. And there is even a secret hand shake"
Come on Moody as if I wouldn't see that coming, even 500 miles away!

I don't feel as though your ability to anticipate the possibility of my move against you invalidates the strategical value of my doing it. I stand by my decision, and I look forward to the many guessing matches we have in store for us in this war.
As Captain James Hook once said, "Death is the only great adventure left."

Huh well I find that rather annoying about the moves. When I read the bit about youngstown I must have misunderstood aswell.

Re: Of Emperors and Presidents IC
Germans try to count again
China 14 - China gains 3 builds and jumps into the lead. Now it looks as though this eastern "supper"* power will turn on the ever vacant Japan. It seems as though nothing will stop its growth.
Italy 12 - remains still. What! A year of no builds. I guess it makes up for the Four last year. Also what is with this, Italy lost a province. Unheard of.
Germany 11 - Still a contender, gaining one build even with a misterious disapearance last winter. It is a good thing Italy is at war with Germany, an alliance between these western powers would be perhaps too much to handle.
Austria 10 - after starting out a little shaky Austria is now going strong. They have done well in riding the tides of power in the west and have shown turkey who is boss.
Japan 8 - where did the japanese go. Their massive fleets now stand Idle. The only other remaining power in the east and now it looks doomed to be swallowed up by their past ally china.
India 6 - Indian forces hang in there. However, even with the war with Japan looming it looks like China has its eyes set on taking out these guys. Whats this the Italians are floating around as well to pick up the leftovers. What will India do next?
France and Russia 3 - The once great Power now is matched with the Puny French, who have taken up residency in London. Will the Russians continue striking at the German forces, or attempt to defend their last remaining lands.
Turkey and England 2 - these countries are just holding in there. Who will last the longest, and who will be the first to go. It seems turkey is worse off, being surrounded by greedy neighbors and a lack of allies. While Enland sits Isolated sharing its homeland with its most bitter enemy the French.
*this is just for you Moody.

Not just for Moody. That was a fun game. I believe that was chaos of war? Lots of entertaining trash talk...:smalltongue:

Eh, we're not concerned. Italy lost a supply center whose position was untenable. We don't expect the situation to be repeated on the German front.

Re: Of Emperors and Presidents IC
just wondering if anyone has heard from Elder_Kin. I ask because Japan NMR last season, and also I just replaced him as Brittain in Art of War. I really don't mean to be a thorn to China, but this retreat could make a significant difference in tactics. Maybe we can hold retreat orders or at least builds until we can confirm that Japan is still being governed and is not in Civil disorder.

No, I haven't gotten any response out of him. Since a Japanese NMR would drastically unbalance the game, I'm putting things on hold until we get a replacement. Anyone know anyone who'd be interested in taking over control?

Yeah, I know of this excellent player who would be willing to take over. I think his name is ... Moopy the Wise? No relation, of course. :smallamused:

Re: Of Emperors and Presidents IC
Yeah I have this female cousin named Vigga, she'd love to.

Re: Of Emperors and Presidents IC
I agree that we should find someone for Japan. I've asked the players of my game if they would like to take the spot. Karmuno might want it, since Turkey is probably not going to last out the year.
However, I think we need to keep the Wednesday deadline for Spring 1905 regardless. I've seen too many games die on these forums in situations exactly like this. Obviously I would gain an advantage in the event of another Japanese NMR, but the clock towards finals and mass NMRs is closing quickly.

Re: Of Emperors and Presidents IC
Japan's Emperor Ill; Shogun Assumes "Care" of Japan
The great shogun Yoritomo, a quiet contender for power within Japan, has assumed control of the great state of Japan for the duration of the emperor's sudden 'illness.'
Caring individuals are to send gifts to the emperor, preferably those that the newfound ruler will be able to use.
Fleets and island nations are, of course, always in style.

Re: Of Emperors and Presidents IC
Crap... I forgot to send in orders last turn...
Oh well. I will try to live on my last legs, then...

Re: Of Emperors and Presidents IC
You might not want to stand. You'll fall down hard if you're standing while I amputate your last legs. Just lie down and it will be a lot less painless.

Re: Of Emperors and Presidents IC
Hong Kong Morning Post
China Welcomes New Leadership in Japan
With the control of the Japanese Empire now vested in the hands of Shogun Yoritomo, China has sent diplomats to re-establish relations between the nations. Sources report that China has offered to return the former Japanese possession of Borneo and stand down its forces in return for restoration of Sino-Japanese ties. Further news will be forthcoming.
Negotiations Continue on Shanghai Agreement
Chinese diplomats and military leaders met their counterparts in Japan today to hammer out the remaining disagreements in the Shanghai Agreement. The Agreement divides the Pacific into spheres on influence and places limits on the military branches of both nations. Chinese government officials are enthusiastic that the proposal will provide a long-term framework for peaceful cooperation of Japan and China.
France Boasts, Rest of the World Laughs
Leading members of the Emperor's Council reacted to the French boasts to the British nation with derision today. Han Xiang Zi stated, "It is laughable that the French feel they are in a position to demean the noble British people. The previous year saw them lose 40% of their military assets, including the loss of their sole colonial possession in Asia. While they have indeed made some strides against the British, they should learn to be a little more humble when France is currently under German and Italian control. Regardless of how the do against the English, the loss of vital equipment in France means their military can grow no larger than its current size." Chinese cities have seen outpourings of support for the beleaguered British, but there is little the nation can do to aid them.

Re: Of Emperors and Presidents IC
((My apologies to everyone for the delay. I've had a lot of homework lately. Also, Photobucket is down for maintenance at this time, so I can't upload the map with retreats. Suffice to say they are:
F brm disbands
F smy disbands
F bor-cel
I'll post the map later, or I might just post the map with builds once I get all of them. To update, build opportunities at they stand are:
Austria: 3 builds
China: 3 builds
England: 1 disband
France: 2 disbands
Germany: 4 builds
India: 1 build
Italy: 1 build
Japan: 1 build
Russia: 1 disband
Turkey: 1 disband

It appears that Germany yet agains fails at counting. And we messed up with our own Nation.
Germany 12!
German Kaiser Vexen blames counting error on his 5th grade teacher. Military experts say it probably has more to do with looking ahead and anticipating the loss of Munich.
