Dip Game 2 Game Over

Remus West · Post by **Remus West** » Mon Jul 02, 2007 2:02 am

1. triggercut - Austria
2. Matthew - Russia
3. godhugh - Germany
4. st_dysan - Turkey
5. El Guapo - France
6. Spacelord - England
7. Grundbegriff - Italy

Orders due within 2 days of the previous turn being posted. Saturday and Sunday will not be counted, thus if a turn is posted on Thursday you have until Monday to turn orders in. For simplicities sake I will put a 5 PM EST deadline on the orders for each day. Please include "Diplomacy Game 2" in the subject line of all PMs regarding orders for the game. First turn orders due Thursday July 5th to allow extra time due to holiday. If a majority of players want we can extend that further and begin when best works for you all. Please post in thread if you would like a different day 1 due time.

As in the other thread, I will post a screen shot of the current map for each game turn as well as a summary of the events.

Good luck to all.

Ach Du Liebe!

Austria???

Teach me to sign up first!

EDIT: Ah, cool! Grund's back. Hope the trip was enjoyable!

Thanks. It was wonderful. I'll post an AAR.

Hip hip! Cheerio! And all that rot!
Where's my monocle?

Ouvre le fenetre!

And trig, Austria's a blast to play - it's just high risk/high reward.

My e-mail is mfranck1981@yahoo.com. Feel free to use either that or PMs.

Thoughts?

El Guapo · Post by **El Guapo** » Mon Jul 02, 2007 2:43 pm

I concur, EXCEPT that it is sacrilege to change Turkey from yellow to orange. Turkey's color is yellow, and it shows up just fine (unlike, say, Germany's), so we should keep that.

Or is that because some people have a silver scheme when viewing these forums?

Grund's colors all look fine in subsilver. Remus's colors do not.

That's right. In particular, Italy is nearly invisible under subSilver under Remusscheme™.

Some time ago, I defected to subSilver, so I proposed colors that look good under either scheme.

Germany flips from black in subSilver to white in goneGoldBlack, but that's ok since Russia persists as dark grey in both. Under Remusscheme, it's hard to differentiate Russia and Germany.

However, people who view the forum in subsilver are communists, and should not be listened to.

I'll withdraw to make room for Lordnine if he was supposed to be on the list.

First come, first served and all.

I will PM him your offer. Until I/we hear from him please consider this game on hold. Sorry about the mix-up.

Thanks for your understanding and prompt reply. Game on. Orders due Thursday 5:00 PM EST for Spring 1901.

Howdy. This program is a favorite of mine for following games and running test judging. jDip

Also, are we sending everything via PM or email? I'd prefer PM. Good luck all.

Wow. JDip is a whole lot nicer than RealPolitik (in all the respects that matter to me, at least).

Remus-- czech this one out. It'll make for nicer screenshots!

SpaceLord · Post by **SpaceLord** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 12:37 pm

So, from my brief reading of RealPolitik/jDip, we will basically have screenshots of the map, replacing the actual game board? Sweet.

Rule Brittania!

Remus West · Post by **Remus West** » Thu Jul 05, 2007 1:41 pm

Please be sure that when submitting orders you put "Diplomacy Game 2" in the subject line somewhere. Thanks

On a side note, I will be using jDip as it is very simple to work with (as is realpolitik honestly) and I like the map options I get. Plus I understand it so that is always a plus.

I have intelligence suggesting that Spain is harboring weapons of mass destruction.

Just a quick FYI, I'm going out of town starting tomorrow morning. I'll still have access to a PC, I just may be a bit slow responding to PM's

So, um....to war?

What's going on?

Remus West · Post by **Remus West** » Fri Jul 06, 2007 3:33 pm

Missing some orders. PMs have been sent to the guilty asking for orders post-haste.

El Guapo · Post by **El Guapo** » Fri Jul 06, 2007 11:52 pm

We should be more strict about this next turn

I will be, I will be setting a firm deadline for all turns from now on and holding to it. As it is, I will be updating the game tomorrow morning.

What's up with Turkey? Were those real moves, Remus, or did you have to supply three Holds because Turkey was the one who hadn't given you orders?

95% chance it's the latter. Which is unfortunate (for the game, less so for the southeastern powers), but Remus waited as long as he could, I think.

Turkey had some RL conflicts going on and asked that I place hold orders on his units so that the game could advance.

That's unfortunate. He should have at least placed a set of basic moves (at least A Con-Bul) rather than holding all his units, which messes things up a bit.

C'est la vie.

Ok guys, Turkey is back and after amassing my 140k troops for an attack on Iraq, Remus has my moves. Sorry bout the hold but my wife just had surgery last week so my orders were all centered around my 5 yr old.

Plus I was very busy getting a bandwagon going on Remus, and as many of you know that was successful, so that was more of the real reason. I will recover..or at least try

carry on
