I'll make a separate post about this in case you don't notice my subtle edit.
I screwed up one of Russia's builds. It should have been A Mos, not A War. The map has now been corrected to reflect this.Ramm in Lords of the Elements

Massive French Maginot Line Prepares To Hold Firm
The massive line of French fortifications on the frontier with Germany prepares to hold firm, and withstand the onslaughts of the German army ... now that the English threat has been lifted from our shores.
French Foreign Legion Our Last Hope
If we cannot be a European power ... at least we can be an Asian power, said the commander of the French Foreign Legion, as he put his hand into the front of his coat, and renamed the island of Borneo 'Elba'.Last edited by KuH; 2007-03-24 at 10:51 AM.

About 24 hour warning - Spring 1903 orders due 10:00, EST (GMT -4) Tuesday, March 27th.
If Yggdrasil NMRs again, or if anyone NMRs on move orders in the future, I'm going to institute a policy of giving supported holds in a reasonable pattern rather than all units holding. If anybody has a problem with this, let me know.Ramm in Lords of the Elements

Re: Diplomacy PBPM - Concert of Europe
I think countries in political turmoil should not have supporting armies. People need to take responsibility for the games they're in, and if they can't check in or let you know that they won't be able to check in on the game, they shouldn't have started in the first place. How about giving away positions to people after three (or however many you see justifiable) un-pre-notified NMRs?

((That seems reasonable to me... perhaps you could explain it IC by saying that people in the country in question secede and join a nearby country after a period of internal strife... For instance, in CoW, France would get London, Liverpool, and Ireland...))

Re: Diplomacy PBPM - Concert of Europe
Well, if it (NMRing) becomes a pattern, the most preferable option will be to try to find a replacement player to take over.
Tim, I understand that committing to a game is a very serious thing and that people should honor those commitments. I personally take all of my games very seriously, and have yet to NMR. However, I also don't think it's fun for anyone to have a free ride because another player doesn't submit orders.
So at least for now, I'm going to give Italy supported holds.Ramm in Lords of the Elements

Combined ground/naval assault barely succeeds on Peking
"The Chinese put up a valiant effort. Cunning defensive maneuvers. It took many of our soldiers with naval support to finally force the Chinese into retreat."
Austria and Turkey still fighting for Sevastapol
The serfs of Sevastapol today returned to work after watching what they kindly refer to as "those nice Southern boys playing tag in the field." The Austrian and Turkish armies were again scared off by threats to hurt the pretty orange kitty.Last edited by viggo; 2007-03-28 at 12:11 AM.

Re: Diplomacy PBPM - Concert of Europe
Given recent events, Chief Councilor Jhong Mingyu released a series of statements today:
Chinese Offer to exchange Vietnam for Nuclear Weaponry
"Okay, here's the deal. We give you Vietnam. You give us the bomb. Fair trade, in our opinion."
Holland attempting to learn to fly?
"What? Is Holland attempting to fly? I've never heard of such a thing... Perhaps we should ask the Germans if we can borrow some of their flying machines. We could really use some for a surprise attack on Moscow..."
Wernher von Braun?
"Gather round while I sing you of Wernher von Braun..."

Re: Diplomacy PBPM - Concert of Europe
Germany Denies allegations of "Nuclear Weapons" or "Flying Machines."
Kaiser Wamp, in a short news noticed, denied any knowledge of these "Nuclear Weapons," or "Flying Machines." "Heck," he said, "we haven't even discovered if E really does equal MC^2!"

Re: Diplomacy PBPM - Concert of Europe
Policy change:
From now on, since I just started playing in my third game, I would no longer like to receive communications between players. Instead, if you wouldn't mind, just give me a little summary of what you've been up to and what you expect to see happen along with your order submissions. That way, I can laugh when you're wrong. =) Not really. Well, I will do that, but the purpose is nobler than that - it's just a nice way to be interested in the game. GMing can feel rather like a job at times (which is a duty I'm perfectly willing to do to give back to the community), but it makes it a lot more fun when you're connecting with players.Ramm in Lords of the Elements

Prinz order whiners shot
Due to the alleged whining of a number Russian diplomatic letters to various Austrian state offices, Prinz Stefan has ordered anyone who displays "excessive whining, whinging or complaining" to be executed as a Russian spy.
Rumours of irritating high-pitched Russian laughter that cannot be distinguished from actual childlike mewling seem to have broken out all along the disputed region and have been the cause of a number of executions under this law.---------------------------------------------------

Re: Diplomacy PBPM - Concert of Europe
Hey guys,
I put out an ad for a replacement for Italy, and I just got a response from someone called Tarbrush. He should be posting here to confirm his assumption of the role of Italy. For now, feel free to barrage him with PMs, as you only have until Tuesday to negotiate for Fall 1904.
Sincerely,
Your Friendly Neighborhood GMLast edited by Moody the Wise; 2007-04-01 at 07:13 PM.

Re: Diplomacy PBPM - Concert of Europe
Less than 24 hour warning. Fall 1903 orders due by 10:00 PM EST (GMT-4) tomorrow: Tuesday, April 3rd.
If tarbrush, who seems to have been confused and posted in the Bismarck's Gambit thread, doesn't get himself straightened out by then, I'll write up some orders for Italy (without looking at anyone's orders first). Don't worry, they won't be anything terribly earth-shattering, but they might not just be simple holds either. This is because I'm still operating under the assumption that someone will take up Italy, and its too big of a power to just put into civil disorder right now. If anyone has a problem with this, send me a polite and well-articulated PM about it and I'll read it, although I can't promise to care.Ramm in Lords of the Elements

Re: Diplomacy PBPM - Concert of Europe
P.S. If you sent me anything you really want me to read along with your orders, remember that as of right now, unless I get orders from tarbrush tonight, I'm not reading anyone's orders until after the deadline, so send questions, comments et cetera in separate, clearly-labeled PMs.

Re: Diplomacy PBPM - Concert of Europe
Ah. Yes. Correct game this time? Good. I am the mighty tarbrush/Benito, ruler of Italy. I have almost no clue what's going on, so this should be interesting to say the least. I shall now spend a few hours working out who sent me what PMs and what they mean.
In my loose understanding of the rules, I'm owed a bunch of armies. Where can I put them?Don’t date the sane ones, they’ll only make you crazy. Date the really insane ones but never let them know where you live or work.
