Diplomacy PBPM - Concert of Europe

[Moody the Wise]

12 Hour warning - Fall 1905 orders due by 10:00 PM EST(GMT-4) tonight. Since this is an extended deadline already, I'm going to go ahead and not really care that this isn't a 24 hour warning.

[Moody the Wise]

Yeah, apparently it's Spring 1905. Sorry about that - I don't think it's confused anyone, the PMs I've gotten have all said Spring 1905.

[Moody the Wise]

Alright, here's the deal: I'm wicked tired and so, it seems, is my computer. I'll post all the moves now, but the official map will have to wait until probably sometime tomorrow. Apologies to those of you who have trouble visualizing things or adjudicating in your head.

Retreats will hopefully be due by 10:00 PM EST tomorrow, although if someone doesn't send me a retreat because they didn't know they had to retreat because I didn't adjudicate the orders ... I'll extend it until Friday. It's a good thing we don't have builds this season.

Tsar Surprised at Indian Strategy

Look, you knew Japan was sailing up your backside. Why, then are you concentrating your forces on our border? I mean, yeah, I won't kill you, but Japan will. Good work.

Japan Announces Treaty of Joharra

After declaring war upon India in defense of their ally England, Prime Minister Gurei Bishoppu met with Indian representatives in the recently taken Joharra. After a lengthy diatribe a treaty was prepared but a Japanese signature was delayed. After a hasty meeting with the Russian ambassador with word from the Tsar that seemed to bother Prime Minister Gurei, Japan returned to Joharra and signed the treaty. A copy of the treaty's details were forwarded to us and we now present it to you, in summary, as the official version was many pages long, filled with boring technical data.

The Treaty of Joharra:

India will officially cede the currently occupied regions of Java and Borneo to the Empire of Japan, followed by Ceylon with two years. India will return the occupied region of Joharra to the Crown of England and refrain from further attacks against English colonial assets, which operate under the protection of the Empire of Japan. Both England and Japan will withdraw from the Russo-Indian War, henceforth declaring neutrality in that conflict, in so long as India continues to honor the agreement.

India has also agreed to other specifics such as a gradual disbandment of all fleets, no further attempts at expanding into Africa, and the presence of military observers and inspectors to assure compliance.

Prime Minister Gurei spoke quickly before returning to Japan, "The sovereign nation of India had offered terms of surrender, but this was not the desire of the Empire of Japan or the Emperor. We went to war to force compliance with agreements made between India and Japan years ago which they had decided no longer needed honoring. Now, they see the error of their ways, and we are once more friends." When asked about the Russian-Japanese friendship, the Prime Minister frowned and said, "Well, now. We had some misunderstandings with the Indians and now seem to be having some with the Russians. It has been the policy of our nation to try to keep the two giants of Russia and India from warring for some time, but over the years it became clear they both sought war with the other. So now, we will let them fight. It'll be good for them. Maybe they'll even hug and be friends after. That would be nice. That little debacle in Sinkiang was a... training exercise... put together at the last minute. We replaced the general of that particular army when he... failed the test. No actual conflict there. Nope."

[Moody the Wise]

Italy's orders got lost in cyberspace but the situation has been set straight. Here they are:

F Dan - Eth (Unit does not exist)
F Nap - Ion
F Tys S F Ion
A Fez - Pen
F Egy S A Fez-Pen
F Sue S F Egy
A Tyr S Tri
A Ven S Tri
A Tri S Tyr

I'm working on the map and will have it up before too long.

[Moody the Wise]

Here is the map, finally! Good news is that there are no retreats. Some units have been destroyed, so if you're looking for a unit, and there's somebody else's unit where you hoped to find your own, check the orders, because it means you've been dislodged and had nowhere to go. As is my new policy, I won't post next to the orders the technical adjudication of everything, but if you have any questions as to why certain moves produced certain results and you can't answer that question by looking at all the orders submitted ask me and I'll explain.

[angusb26]

can you let me know if there are any new games opening?
i would love to join asap

[Moody the Wise]

Fall 1905 orders due by 10PM EST (GMT-4) tonight would be great, but that's in three hours, and I forgot to post the warning, so I'll extend 24 hours if necessary.

Retreats will still be due Thursday at the regular time and builds Friday at the regular time.

[Moody the Wise]

Fall 1905 Retreat Map:

Just one due - Italy's A Tyr

It is due in 22 hours.

Builds are due in 46 hours.

Here's the map; I'll post the actual orders tomorrow.

[Moody the Wise]

I made a mistake in processing England's orders. As a result, the French army now in Spain should still be in Marseilles (it should have bounced with A Liv-Spa). I'll make the correction to the map when the retreat comes in.

[Moody the Wise]

Alright, I've got this *bleep* of a paper to do tonight, so I'll post the retreat and the new map sometime tomorrow after noon EST when I have a break for a while.

And here is the Winter build map:

Italy NMRed on the retreat, so A Tyr disbanded. Also, I fixed the situation in Spain.

Japan, Germany, India, and Italy each get one build.

Those builds are due by NOON TOMORROW, EST(GMT-4) since I'll probably be going to bed early tonight and waking up late tomorrow. God, the end of the semester sucks.

[Moody the Wise]

Sorry about it being late, builds slipped my mind.

Germany: A Mun
Japan: F Tok
India: A Mad

Maybe I'll do a map later, but it's easy enough to visualize.

Spring 1906 Orders due Tuesday by 10:00 PM EST as usual.

[Moody the Wise]

Builds have been added to the map. Also, a minor clerical error involving a certain Indian army has been corrected.

I would like to remind everyone to check, double-check, triple-check, and check once again all of their order submissions.

So without further ado, I give you the Concert of Europe Spring 1906 Map!

[Moody the Wise]

And once again, I forgot to post a 24 hour warning. So, orders due 24 hours from now (11:00am EST tomorrow) or, if I get them all, by 10:00pm tonight.

[Moody the Wise]

Alright, since access to the forums has been terrible today (and at least for some time officially shut down) I'll postpone the season until such a time as I regain dependable access. However, I've got my last final exam tomorrow and a lot of work to do to finish up another class, then I've got to pack and drive home, so I may just postpone things all the way until next Tuesday.

[Moody the Wise]

Alright, the Spring 1906 season has officially been extended until next Tuesday (10pm EST, as usual).

This decision has been made for the aforementioned reasons and to give our latest replacement for Italy, Void, a chance to catch up diplomatically. Let's all give Void a warm Diplomacy welcome. Remember, hugs are an excellent pretext for gaining access to a victim's exposed back.

World News Today

Legionnaire Argus Nero masterfully directed many battles and was hero among the ranks of both ranks of the Italian armies and the nations people. The current leader could not handle the strain of leadership and when the people of Italy demanded change he handed leadership to Nero. Some say it was at the edge of a sword and Nero’s loyal legions, others say it was out of respect as well as fear. All that is for sure is Italy has changed to an imperialism and is now lead by Emperor Argus Nero.

Russian Foreign Minister sends gifts to new Italian emperor

An official envoy arrived in Rome today carrying 10,000 fiddles for the new Emperor Nero. The Emperor appeared to be pleased, and the envoy left with his head.

[Moody the Wise]

Yeah, I forgot to post to this effect, but Void's takeover of Italy is legitimate and official.

Also, orders for Spring 1906 due in 26 and a half hours.

Even more also, if someone who has jDip can adjudicate the orders that I post tomorrow night and post a Fall 1906 map, that would be great. I can't guarantee that I will have access to the program.

[Void]

I can adjudicate the turn, if you think you can email me or transfer me the current saved .jdip file. Otherwise it will take me a lot longer as I will have to start and edit the file from scratch and no guarantees.

Regards,

Void

[Moody the Wise]

Grrr ... tried to post this last night but apparently it did not go through.

I made a mistake in my last post when I said that orders were due tonight; they're due tomorrow night. I was confused.

Also, Void (and/or anyone else who wants to take this up), I don't have the jDip game file for the same reason that I don't have jDip. Editing isn't really that bad - just take a new game, advance one season on no orders so that it is in the Fall season, then edit it to reflect current unit placements - the year that the game thinks it is doesn't matter. That said, I'll try to be sneaky and handle things myself.

[viggo]

my fleet should be in korea, not japans

[J_Muller]

No, the bounce was 1:1 if I'm reading the orders right.

[Void]

Looks like I accedently placed a japanesse fleet in korea that was not on previouis map. This would put viggo's fleet in korea. I will correct that this evening. My appologies.

Regards,

Void
