Sorry Robz, forgot to submit $:-\$

Sorry, [ally], forgot to submit.

Davio · « **Reply #177 on:** September 24, 2012, 05:02:14 pm »

Since all but one of you seem to have forget to submit, I will add a grace period for this time only.
Deadline extended until tuesday 19:00.

Davio · « **Reply #178 on:** September 25, 2012, 05:18:20 pm »

Update, no orders for France though.

I retreated Munich to Ruhr and had to disband Venice per the rules for civil disorder.

France may build 2.
Germany must remove 2.
Russia can build 1.
Turkey can build 2.

Oh so I did. Ah drat. Really thought I sent them.

Build me a stupid army in brest.

Galzria · « **Reply #181 on:** September 25, 2012, 06:16:33 pm »

I will disband Ruhr and Holland.

Davio · « **Reply #182 on:** September 26, 2012, 02:19:34 am »

Okay, we're ready for Spring 1910.

Supply Center overview:
France: 8
Germany: 1
Italy: 1
Russia: 9
Turkey: 15

Turkey needs 3 more SC's to win, let's see what the others want to do about that.

Davio · « **Reply #183 on:** September 28, 2012, 02:19:50 pm »

No grace period this time, I'm no babysitter.

A tough blow for France, but we won't keep on waiting.

I retreated F Nap to Rom, I hope this was okay, otherwise let me know.

Robz888 · « **Reply #184 on:** September 28, 2012, 02:23:56 pm »

Wouldn't have mattered either way. I surrender. Well done, shraeye!

Davio · « **Reply #185 on:** October 01, 2012, 05:50:51 pm »

It seems that the central European powers have finally yielded to the Sultan's submission.

Congratulations to shraeye who made the most of his pact with Russia!

Second place goes to.................... no one! There is no second place in Diplomacy!
I guess taking back Munich softens the blow for Galzria, but it'll be only temporary as Turkey will have swept the entire map by 1920.

I will do a proper wrap up when I have more time, but for now I would like to thank you all for playing; I hope you've enjoyed it. I won't do another one anytime soon, since I just don't have the time, but if anyone feels like taking over, by all means, be my guest.

I strongly recommend using jDip, it also has very interesting alternative theatres of war which are waiting to be tried out!

Grujah · « **Reply #186 on:** October 01, 2012, 05:53:17 pm »

Congrats, shraeye. You really did play very well and didn't really get into a fight with anybody needlessly.

Grujah · « **Reply #187 on:** October 01, 2012, 05:53:50 pm »

Another one, anybody?

Robz888 · « **Reply #188 on:** October 01, 2012, 05:55:36 pm »

Congrats shraeye! Well deserved victory.

What happened was, Galzria and I had alliance, but Russia didn't submit moves or something that one time, and then Galzria was just far too powerful. Then the anti-Galzria alliance ended up benefiting Turkey too much, because Turkey didn't have to commit anything to the effort.

Galzria held out best against me, too, further complicating my own plans to kill him and Grujah simultaneously. But shraeye had no problem beating Grujah.

I've started playing Diplomacy online a lot, and I'm realizing I'm just not very good at it. I think I am much better at the in-person negotiations that characterize Risk games with my friends.

jotheonah · « **Reply #189 on:** October 01, 2012, 06:03:22 pm »

I think I'm done with the forum board games. It's too hard for me to keep track over such long spans of time, and I'm always forgetting to submit orders.

Fun game though guys, sorry I sort of screwed the pooch.

Galzria · « **Reply #190 on:** October 01, 2012, 06:26:16 pm »

Well played everybody, and congratulations to Shraeye! Europe was for the taking whilst all the lesser nations squabbled.

For those who are interested, detailed game write-ups from the basics through more complicated play from my perspective:

This was for the benefit of Frisk to begin with, however Volt joined halfway through.

I would love to play another one. The pace is very nice in that I don't need to dedicate more than an hour a season to it (usually). Unlike Mafia, it sits in the background just happening, with spikes of excitement. So I'm very much /in for another.

Robz888 · « **Reply #191 on:** October 01, 2012, 06:28:53 pm »

I would also play again. As if I could not.

shraeye · « **Reply #192 on:** October 01, 2012, 08:22:05 pm »

I'm definitely interested. We need a replacement Davio, and i'd be willing to do that as well. I'm pretty busy these days but I'll see when I can get around to posting my game plans and ideas. An after-game report if you will.

Grujah · « **Reply #193 on:** October 01, 2012, 08:25:52 pm »

I could host as well.

Grujah · « **Reply #194 on:** October 01, 2012, 08:26:49 pm »

And if Qvist still wants to play, he should get the priority cuz he was unlucky last time.

shraeye · « **Reply #195 on:** October 01, 2012, 09:45:59 pm »

You bet, Qvist is an automatic in.

Davio · « **Reply #196 on:** October 02, 2012, 02:40:11 am »

If another one is played, I might join in as a player myself.

Looking at jDip's maps, there are a lot of interesting ones that I would like to try out.
I mean, if you play regular Europe, often it's like "oh, I'm Italy.... gg everybody"
Yes, you can win with Italy and it's an amazing feat if you do, but not all powers are created equally.

There are even maps for less than 7 players if that would be a necessity and there's a map for 10 players with 37 Supply Centers needed for victory, woooaaaah!
