Diplomacy: Realpolitik

[Zjoot]

Wait, I'm confused. Shouldn't the army in Trieste have been dislodged by Serbia?

[nolispe]

No, Rome broke it's support.

[Zjoot]

Oh. I was thinking that an attack had to be equal or greater than the support to cut it. Seems I was mistaken though. Sorry.

[4is111]

Oh. I was thinking that an attack had to be equal or greater than the support to cut it. Seems I was mistaken though. Sorry.

I made the same mistake my first game. I was quite surprised when my supposedly invincible defense fell apart in several places.

[Makleveh]

Fall 1904 Orders due Friday, 12-16 at 10PM EST!(Still!)

[Makleveh]

To account for my slight delay,

Orders are due in 24 hours!

[Makleveh]

Ok, I am still missing a pair of orders, both parties have been mailed and have been online since the deadline, so if I don't have the orders by the time I get off work tonight, I'm going to begin the process of handing over those powers to our alternates.

[Zjoot]

Oh crap. I'm one of those parties, and you can go ahead and give it to one of the alternates anyways. I'll try to send in some orders today so the game can move forward (if there's anything anyone wants, contact me ASAP) but you can go ahead and replace me.

Um, can I just request that if you can be active, please don't leave? Martyr complex aside, replacing players really screws up the game. Sometimes there's nothing you can do, but if there is something you can do it's best to keep the players you've got.

[Makleveh]

Hear ye, hear ye!

The Grimmace has submitted orders and remains in the game. However, Nolispe hasn't returned any of my messages and it remains to be seen if he has posted in any other games. In the interest of keeping things moving, Niezck has taken over control of Italy.

Deadline has been extended to 12/22 at 10pm

[Niezck]

Hiya folks.

I'll be sending out PMs in short order!

France is the only power with an open home SC and may build one unit. In addition, Italy must disband a unit. ASAP. Please.

To account for the holiday
Spring 1905 Orders due Friday, 12-30 at 10PM EST!

[Niezck]

Nothing to see here.

[4is111]

You should have PMed that, Niezck. This may affect France's build and you want him to have as little information as possible.

[Niezck]

Derp, forgot about the build >_<

[thewamp]

You should have PMed that, Niezck. This may affect France's build and you want him to have as little information as possible.

*So* unnecessary to warn him.

[Murska]

Turkey's gonna get a lot of builds soon...

[thewamp]

Turkey's gonna get a lot of builds soon...

True that. He's pretty set actually. I'm legitimately getting very worried and I'm on the other side of the map

[4is111]

I'm not so secure as I'd like to be. Germany's fleet is in a position to throttle my growth pretty effectively and there isn't much I can do about it.

[Splynn]

In my defense, my fleet is only throttling you because you are set up so well. You should take it as a compliment!

[thewamp]

I'm not so secure as I'd like to be. Germany's fleet is in a position to throttle my growth pretty effectively and there isn't much I can do about it.

Yeah, support moves are really tough to do.

[Makleveh]

France builds A Mar
Italy removes F BOT

Order deadline has not changed. Everyone have a happy and safe holiday this weekend.

[Makleveh]

This is your 12 hour warning! Orders orders orders!

[thewamp]

Oh crap. Can we have a 24 hour extension?

[Makleveh]

Yes. Because it doesn't look like I'll be home at a reasonable hour tonight as it is, and I won't be able to post until Saturday anyway. So let's just say that I will process the turn Sunday at 10pm EST. That's the first of the year.
