Hi there, Diplomats!

Welcome to play-by-forum Diplomacy.
Remember: Only the main players should post in this topic.

I have drawn your countries and they are as follows.
Austria-Hungary: Theorel
England: cayvie
France: Robz888
Germany: Galzria
Italy: Grujah
Russia: jotheonah
Turkey: shraeye <--- WINNER

The starting situation can be seen on the attached screenshot.
I have also attached the jDip file.

Deadline Rules

• Submitting moves is done by a PM to me, specify the current season and your country in the subject, e.g. "Diplomacy Spring 1901 Moves for England"
• Submit your Spring Moves by Friday 19:00 Central European Summer Time (CEST)
• If needed, you will get a day for retreats, until Saturday 19:00
• Submit your Fall Moves by Monday 19:00 CEST
• If needed, you will get a day for retreats first, followed by builds, that is until Tuesday 19:00

Syntax Rules

• Use the official abbreviations in your orders or specify the full name, i.e. the abbreviation for North Sea is Nth and not Nor, so be careful
• A move order is specified as: A/F StartingRegion - EndRegion. i.e. F Edi - Nwg for a move of a fleet from Edinburgh to the Norwegian Sea, or A Mun - Bur for a move of an army from Munich to Burgundy
• A hold order is simply specified as: A/F Region H(olds), so A Mun H or A Mun Holds
• A support order is written as: A/F Region S -Full order it supports-, so if you support a move, you need to list the entire move. Example: F Hol S F Eng - Nth, a fleet in Holland supports the moving of a fleet from the English Channel to the North Sea. Example 2: A Mun S A Bur H, an army in Munich supports the Hold order of an army in Burgundy
• A convoy order is written as: F Region C -Army move it convoys-, example: F Nth C A Edi - Nor, A fleet in the North Sea convoys an army from Edinburgh to Norway. When using multiple fleets in a convoy, each fleet needs to specify this order

Gameplay Rules

• Moves that are incorrect or too late will be forfeit and they will default to Hold orders
• If you don't specify a retreat on time, I will pick the most logical one
• If you don't specify a build, you won't get one!
• Once I have entered all of your moves, I will show the moves as an image and the results both as text output and as an image
• I will update the topic title accordingly to remind you in which season we are

Other Rules

• Have fun!
• Trust everybody, but prepare to be backstabbed
• Please respect the fact that only main players and the GM(s) can post in this topic, if you would like to discuss this game, use the general topic, found here
  

I will expect your first moves by Friday 19:00 CEST!

Good hunting, everybody!

[Robz888]

The countries even fit our personalities!

Galzria is Germany, the trigger-happy heavyweight who's always suspected--because he's always plotting against the rest of Europe!
Jotheonah is Russia, the good old reliable Soviet, with plenty of peasants to burn off in early wars.
Grujah is Italy, easily impressionable and happy to backstab.
Cayvie is England, a fierce, yet isolated latecomer.
Shraeye is Turkey, the unknown and dangerous foreigner.
Theorel is Austria, which doesn't necessarily fit.
And I am France, the vain and incompetent would-be empire.

[Grujah]

Judas Dancarino!
(one of few Italian phrases that I know, props to whomever gets the reference)

Why can't we all just get along and eat some pizza?
And Dear Jean-Robzpierre, I think I managed to get rid of "impressionable" thing by now. (at least in games here).

[Grujah]

All Quiet on the Western Front, it seems.
Either that or you are all conspiring behind my back.

[shraeye]

Yes, a little too quiet.  Well, Sultan Shraeye had to outright ask you how to make these colored/withflag posts, but thanks to his Italian schooling, Sultan Shraeye has successfully defeated most hurdles the internet/technology has thrown at him.  Many thanks to his fine Italian tutor.  One final hurdle is to enhance Sultan Shraeye's cartographic abilities via this magical item called jDip.  His cartographers would dearly love to understand its implementation, as the Turkish Empire is already in a parchment shortage due to infighting of prominent families in Smyrna.  It is possible that Sultan Shraeye will look more favorably upon a friend who aids, than Sultan Shraeye would those who are willing to leave his mapmakers oblivious.

[Galzria]

Hail from Oberst Galzria!

It seems we have a storm brewing. While I am sure that some of us can exist for the time being in peace, others of you will not be long for this Earth. Let Germany be the first to declare that we shall not shed a tear for your departure.

Do not take that as an open statement of hostility, but a recognition that in times of war only the strong can stand, while the weak crumble. I will take this time to wish each and every one of you success on the battlefield. But I will also warn that should you decide to cross paths with Germany that success shall never find you.

So good luck to you all, for there will come a time when each of you needs it.

[Davio]

Whoopdedoo, I have a Flag too.
What is it that you're having trouble with, shraeye?

You can start a new standard game or open the attached file and start dragging pieces from one region to another, this gives them a move order. If you want to support you need to drag the supporting unit from its own location to the starting region of the supported unit and finally to the end region of the supported unit. If you're supporting a Hold, you can just drag it to that location. But make sure you have selected "SUPPORT" at the bottom of the screen/map.

Convoys are similar.

[shraeye]

Sultan Shraeye appreciates your assistance, and believes his mapmakers are prepared for the task ahead.  Huzzah!

[jotheonah]

The great Tsar Jtotheonah the Terrible is only posting here so that it will show up on his "new replies to your posts". For the moment

[cayvie]

awesome, i misentered my moves and crippled myself.

[cayvie]

well, as always, i have limited availability over the weekend, so enjoy the open season on england

[Davio]

awesome, i misentered my moves and crippled myself.

All is not lost, cayvie. I've seen players come back from worse.

[jotheonah]

your "blunder" certainly has given you unfettered access to Norway...

[cayvie]

your "blunder" certainly has given you unfettered access to Norway...

well my fleets moved correctly, i meant to move my army to yorkshire not edinburgh though.

and i thought you were okay with me getting norway anyway? i mean you can bounce me out if you want, but that's just going to prevent me getting any builds to no advantage of your own.

[shraeye]

I'm going to be out today and tomorrow driving across the US to my home.  I'll have limited (but still some) internet access; my inbox is still ready for all your scheming schemes.

[Davio]

England now has to choose whether to retreat his fleet to Bight, Skaggerak or back to England.
Please tell me ASAP where you want your fleet to go.

[jotheonah]

Walked quite a tightrope there diplomatically, but boy did it pay off!

[cayvie]

I choose to disband my dislodged fleet.

[Davio]

The fleet in the North Sea is disbanded.

[Davio]

The build orders are in.

See the screenshot to see where the war machines have been running this winter and spit out small cannons and large boats.

Next moves are due by Friday 19:00.

[cayvie]

lol

[Davio]

Hi there!

Moves for Spring 1902 are in. I didn't get any moves for Russia, so I ordered them to Hold. This caused the army in Rumania to be dislodged and the only possible retreat location was Galicia (other than disbanding) so I took the liberty to move the army to Galicia.

See the attachments for both the moves and the results.

[Grujah]

Damn, Why didn't I check my orders in jDip first, misspelled a territory name. 

[jotheonah]

I failed to submit orders entirely. That's embarrassing.
