Deadline has passed. I have yet to receive orders. I will extend until 1 pm (forum time - the [time] tag unfortunately does not work properly with the different dates for switching daylight savings time) and hope that this is enough.

I think it is better to have this discussion now.

Activity for this game has slowed down immensely in the QTs. Every deadline needs to be extended. I have to wonder whether you guys are still motivated to keep on playing. Because if we are all just going through the motions, then I would rather bring this to an end now.

I don't have any particular interest in continuing (not that I have much to play for).

While I'm still engaged in the game, I do sense a loss of interest in most of the other players, and we're already having trouble finding one replacement. I won't shed any tears if we call it quits.

I would still like to continue, but I agree that the current situation is not ideal.

Personally, I would prefer shorter deadlines to keep a game year within a week, but what the right solution is, depends on the reason why deadlines are being missed.

My attitude matches more or less Austria's, especially since I am the one who asked for being replaced. Picked up a game the first time after decades but realized fast that I am not getting too much out of it. But I'd happily continue as long as no one is ready to pick up the baton.

I'm conflicted.  I get really excited for Diplomacy, but I have a bad internal clock and am not good at handling deadlines.  I think quicker deadlines could work, but they could also overwhelm me.

I'm not really invested at all. I just didn't want to replace out because I didn't want someone having to come take over a crappy position.

Given the replies, I don't think it is feasible to continue if a majority of players isn't really invested.

Thanks from me too, faust, great and engaged modding! I like this version better than the original but noticed that games with that much politics aren't for me (any more).

Too bad it ended, but thank you for hosting, Faust!

Turkey, how close were you to stabbing me?

Here is my main quicktopic from which you can access all the other ones
https://quicktopic.com/52/H/VQDw9UPc9XE

Turkey, how close were you to stabbing me?
Depends about which time in the game you talk. In 1902 I tried to get Britain to fight you, but after they moved another fleet to Egy my plan A was to work with you. I might have still attacked you if Austria had asked for it, but since then I was not actively planning an attack. I don't know what I would have done in the endgame.
To be fair, France and Britain did also not really try to offer anything, so I don't know how it would have played out if they did.

A question for Germany, Britain, France, and Italy: at which point did you realize that Austria, Russia, and I were allies?
