Fall 1906 orders due in 33 hours.

Void, can you make the map again?

Void · 05-21-2007, 12:51 PM

Yep, not a problem.

Regards,

Void

Just realized this, but Saigon should be British, not Indian.

Xilehxt · 05-22-2007, 07:45 PM

I'd like to say it's India's, but yes, it does belong to the English. Please fix it.

Moody the Wise · 05-22-2007, 09:44 PM

In light of my reception of a whopping FOUR sets of orders for Fall 1906, I'm going to extend the deadline indefinitely. It's one thing when one person NMRs, but it's another thing when over half of your players don't submit orders. I'd like everyone to seriously think about their commitment to playing this game and write a post about it. Also, if you haven't submitted orders yet, the sooner the better.

thewamp · 05-22-2007, 10:27 PM

Wow... okay, lame excuse but what with the ending of the other games I'm in and the extension in this one, I'd accidentally just filed this away as another game that had died. When I saw the post about orders being due (fall 1906) I assumed it was "restarting" like CoW and that I'd already submitted orders.

And it's exams! Which everyone else has too, I'm sure.

Orders submitted.

melchizedek · 05-23-2007, 05:21 PM

I'm definitely interested in continuing play. I'm really enjoying this game, and it would be a shame to see it die. But, if only four people submitted orders, we might not have much choice.

J_Muller · 05-23-2007, 05:31 PM

Don't look at me, I'm already out. I think that Viggo might not be coming back, though.

Void · 05-23-2007, 06:10 PM

Okay, unless anyone else see's something I missed this is updated and accurate map.

I am still interested, but obviously I have only had one round to get myself involved in it. Hope others choose to continue. If not I would be interested in playing another. I just started DMing one that should be starting next week and depending on how that goes, might be interested in running another one as well.

Regards,

Void

I blame it on the delay and finals... we definitely shouldn't stop, unless it becomes clear that most aren't returning. I was one of the 6, guiltily and I'm definitely ready to keep going.

Moody the Wise · 05-23-2007, 09:57 PM

Alright, we're now only missing two sets of orders: Turkey (Raveler1) and Austria (Strategos). Since Grey Bishop has asked to be replaced, I'll give whoever replaces him some time by skipping next week and spacing out Fall and Winter 1906. So this is what the schedule will look like:

Thursday by 10:00 PM EST - Last chance for Turkey and Austria to submit Fall 1906 orders, fall turn processed
Sunday by 10:00 PM EST - Retreat orders, if applicable, due
Wednesday by 10:00 PM EST - Winter 1906 build orders due
The following Tuesday - Back to normal with Spring 1907

The Thursday-Sunday gap is because I'll be out of state for the weekend at my older brother's college graduation.

Hopefully I can find a replacement for Japan quickly and everything will go well.

Sound good to everyone? After all, it is your game, I'm just here to make it run smoothlyish.

thewamp · 05-24-2007, 01:07 AM

Sounds good... by the wya, in the future, when the map is posted by "guest-posters," could you have jdip include the province names? Not that important, but it would save some time.

viggo · 05-24-2007, 10:43 AM

yeah i'm totally down for playing still.

Alright, sorry about being a night late but when I got back from New York State yesterday afternoon I impulsively decided to drive to Vermont for the Brattleboro Dawn Dance - a folk dancing festival from 8pm Sunday to 7am Monday - then found out I had job orientation at 4:30pm today - so it's been a busy couple days.

Anyway, from the look of things, we needed two retreats - Turkey's F Eas and Russia's A Afg. I have no retreat orders in my PM box, so both of those disband.

Build orders due Wednesday.

Also, I haven't heard from anyone yet about taking over for Japan, unfortunately. I'll let you guys know if/when something comes up. If nobody wants to take it over, Grey Bishop has said he could still submit orders for Japan, he just wouldn't really have time for diplomatic negotiations.

Even more also, do you guys think I should try to replace Austria and/or Turkey at this point? I have yet to hear from either of them, and it's been nearly a week now. Given that nobody has agreed to take over Japan yet, the odds of getting replacement players for the other two are slim, but I could try if you want me to.

Moody the Wise · 05-31-2007, 11:49 PM

Alright, here are build orders:

England:
F Liv
F Lon

Japan:
Build F tok

Russia:
build f vla
build a mos
build a war
build a oms

Italy:
A lib (Disband)

Update ze map, Void? Also, make sure you get the disbands from the retreat phase.

Void · 06-01-2007, 01:05 PM

Meh, at this point I say just leave them. Would of been nice had they not ditched but what ever.

Void

Moody the Wise · 06-02-2007, 06:20 PM

Alright, I suppose that Spring 1907 moves should be due Tuesday at the regular time. Still no word on replacing Japan, though ...

J_Muller · 06-02-2007, 06:34 PM

The Peking Times--News in Brief

Japanese Government in Turmoil!
After a quick round of lucrative conquests, Japan has descended into conflict with itself. The Emperor is nowhere to be found, and Japanese forces abroad stand still in the empire's holdings from Karafuto to Ethiopia. No word yet on any resolution to this sudden halt in Japanese actvity

French Forces Pushed Back
A recent spate of military defeats has resulted in the reduction of the once-proud French nation to a single territory. The last remaining French army is digging in for the spring in Portugal as English and German troops occupy the rest of what was once a major European power.

Suvarov454 · 06-03-2007, 10:24 AM

Well, seeing as France is about to be eliminated, I will have plenty of free time to take over Japan... if you want me to, that is :).

Void · 06-03-2007, 05:42 PM

Thats fine as long as you want to be my friend :)

Regards,

Void

Moody the Wise · 06-03-2007, 08:08 PM

I'm fine with Suvarov taking over Japan - how do the rest of you feel about it?

J_Muller · 06-03-2007, 08:14 PM

I've got no objections.

viggo · 06-03-2007, 11:49 PM

yeah i'm okay with it

Grey Bishop · 06-04-2007, 06:27 AM

Okay by me. ;)

Moody the Wise · 06-05-2007, 10:03 AM

Alright, that's probably as good a response as we can hope to get, so it's official - Suvarov454 will take over Japan effective immediately. In the interest of fairness, he will have to leave France, so that unit will just be considered to be in civil disorder. Oh yeah, and Spring 1907 orders should have been due tonight by 10:00 PM EST (GMT-4) tonight, but since I didn't give a 24 hour warning, I'll accept them up until Wednesday night at 8:00 PM EST - I'm working in the morning, and I'm not going to wake up early to process orders. If I get them all by tonight, though, I'll post them tonight.

thewamp · 06-05-2007, 10:03 PM

I'm fine with it too. Though that had no bearing, since it's kind of already decided
