Diplomacy time again!
This time I will run a game that will rise phoenix-like from the embers of Killersquid's long dormant campaign. Players in that game will get preference in places for this game but anyone can sign up.
Basic house rules. First turn is five days, others will be three days (with a bit of latitude to account for the fact that I probably won't update until later in the day after the deadline). I will give a bit of leeway for late orders, and if you need to drop out of the game for whatever reason, then you are required to find a replacement...Or else.
For Diplomacy stuff.
Rules can be found here (http://www.wizards.com/avalonhill/rules/Diplomacy_Rulebook.pdf).
Quick learners guide can be found here (http://www.wizards.com/avalonhill/rules/Diplomacy_FiveMinGuide.pdf).
Seven spots available, sign up below and I'll randomly assign starting positions when we have all the players that we are going to get.
Edit: Game is now full, players and nations are as follows:
Killing Time: England
Lockz: Turkey
Azore24: Austria
Seraph Tenacious: Germany
Benis: Russia
JoBob: France
Faitherun: Italy
-
Since Lockz game is in the final throws I'd like to be in this, if that's ok.

I'd like to be in.

Let's see if I can do anything better this time around. I'm in.
Azore of Ath-Ron

I'll play, but can someone link me to a good set of Diplomacy rules?

Anything wrong with these?
I would also like to join but I can take a reserve spot if someone new or from Killersquid's game comes along and want to play.
-
Oddly I didn't see those links. I am baffled.
-
I'm in for sure.
-
I would like to join as well
*Off to read links*

Awesome seven players already. Random starting positions are as follows:

Lockz: Turkey (Yellow)
Azore24: Austria (Red)
Seraph Tenacious: Germany (Black)
Benis: Russia (White)
JoBob: France (Light Blue)
Faitherun: Italy (Green)
The starting map looks like this:

Your first turn is due by midnight GMT on Friday 18th. Get diploming!
-
If possible, Could you list the player colors next to their names? Thank you
-
I've edited in the names of the colours for each nation in to the list for the geographically challenged. Some of the colours won't show up well on the forum background so I won't change the text colour itself.
-
Wow... I'm not Italy for a change.
Game on!
-
Deutchland extends a wish of good fortune to all nations this Spring.
Know that we will be a fearsome adversary if you oppose us, and a fierce and loyal ally to those who aid us.
-
I see that the blatant lies have begun already...
-
That's not blatant, this is blatant: I'm super happy that I'm playing Austria, the greatest nation in all of Diplomacy!
Azore of Austria
-
I see that the blatant lies have begun already...
Noble Italy is incensed that you would accuse her of lying, and would appreciate a formal apology.
-

Meaning that the new map looks thus:
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.antipwn.com%2FDiplomacy%2F1901_spring_commit.bmp&hash=84d09aa248a281974466a444361f984705f740ff)
The crucial Autumn orders which will determine your builds for 1902 are due by Midnight GMT on Tuesday 22nd Feb.

This means that the following builds are available this year:
Austria: Supp 5 Unit 3 Build 2
England: Supp 4 Unit 3 Build 1
France: Supp 6 Unit 3 Build 3
Germany: Supp 5 Unit 3 Build 2 *correction*
Italy: Supp 4 Unit 3 Build 1

Turkey: Supp 4 Unit 3 Build 1
Get those builds to me ASAP and we can start on 1902.
-
Notice: One of Germany's moves is incorrect.
-
Yes, I will update the map later when I have a chance but for now note that the German army in Kiel is actually in Holland. This of course means that Germany has an additional build (which I have already changed).
Edit: Maps updated.
-
Builds are in, newly conscripted peasants from across Europe blink in the cold spring air as they prepare to die for the whims of powerful men.
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.antipwn.com%2FDiplomacy%2Fbuilds1901.bmp&hash=81e1ea4a38310aa707b6abe222b7d4ae9b3c5e78)

And leaves the map like this when all is said and done:
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.antipwn.com%2FDiplomacy%2Fsummer1902.bmp&hash=80c27c8de652d5c6281b3039c336c6fefa2e1972)
There are no retreats to worry about so the next turn can go straight ahead. You have until Midnight GMT on Wednesday 2nd March to get your orders to me.
-
Fall 1902: The Fallening. I got Russia's orders late so wasn't able to clarify the missing order for the army in the Ukraine. Learn from this and get your orders in early so that if there are problems I can flag them up with you.

A Budapest Hold
F Greece Supports A Serbia - Bulgaria (*Dislodged*)
A Serbia - Bulgaria (*Bounce*)
A Trieste - Venice (*Fails*)
A Tyrolia Supports A Trieste - Venice

The map looks like this after all of that:
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.antipwn.com%2FDiplomacy%2Fwinter1902.bmp&hash=7d841badb15b2d30280eec59ba6da1611660812d)
We have one dislodgement to handle before we go to builds, the Austrian fleet in Greece can either retreat to Albania or it may be disbanded. Let me know what you want to do here.
Once that is out of the way the builds will be as follows:
Turkey has one build
Russia has one build
Austria has one disband if the fleet retreats to Albania or no change if they choose to disband the fleet instead.
-
Austria chose to disband the fleet in Greece and both the Austrian and Russian builds have been submitted so here is the map going into 1903.
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.antipwn.com%2FDiplomacy%2FNYE1902.bmp&hash=2a70334ee1ab6fb86d26549a9925b195ce739eb2)
Orders for the spring 1903 turn are due by Midnight GMT on Sunday 6th March.
-
Despite two reminders and almost a whole extra day, I received no orders from Italy. Civil Disorder for them then.
Here are the orders I did receive:
Austria:

A Serbia - Rumania

This shakes things up considerably.
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.antipwn.com%2FDiplomacy%2Fsummer03.bmp&hash=d6050f38c66a2eb7dd5767535ac1dfeb880809ef)
Two dislodged units to deal with before we go into the Fall turn:
The German fleet in Denmark can retreat to either Helgoland Bight or the Baltic Sea or it can disband
The Russian Fleet in Rumania can retreat to the Black Sea or it can disband.
Please PM me those retreats/disbands as soon as possible and we'll head on into the Fall turn.
-
I apologie for my lack of orders. I had lost internet, and will lose it again until tom night :(
-
Don't worry Faitherun, at least you didn't lose anything by missing a turn.
Anyway, the retreats are in. The Russians slunk back into the Black Sea while the filthy Boche are cruising the Baltic.
The map is thus:
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.antipwn.com%2FDiplomacy%2Fretreats_summer1903.bmp&hash=20e75789ef60925d06a8b5f2b5c9d07dc1e81cf2)
Orders for the Fall 1903 turn are due by Midnight GMT on Thursday 10th March
-

Somehow, despite the massive bloodshed across the continent, there are no retreats to handle. Instead we can go straight into builds which are as follows:
Austria: Supp 5 Unit 4 Build 1
England: Supp 5 Unit 4 Build 1
France: Supp 5 Unit 6 Remove 1
Germany: Supp 5 Unit 5 Build 0
Italy: Supp 4 Unit 4 Build 0
Russia: Supp 5 Unit 6 Remove 1
Turkey: Supp 5 Unit 5 Build 0
Get those to me as soon as possible please.
-
Builds are in and as a result there are new armies in Edinburgh and Vienna while the Piedmont and Galician armies have been disbanded.
The map going into 1904 looks like this:
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.antipwn.com%2FDiplomacy%2FNYE1903.bmp&hash=ffd79da8097673a24ff1fe9863bf2c042a766323)
Orders for Spring 1904 are due by Midnight GMT on Tuesday 15th March.
-
Orders are in - on time even so thank you all for that. Some of you managed to absent-mindedly leave a knife or two stuck in each other's backs. There should be some interesting PMs flying around after this.
Austria:
A Budapest Supports A Trieste
A Rumania - Bulgaria (*Fails*)
A Serbia Supports A Rumania - Bulgaria
A Trieste Supports A Tyrolia (*Cut*)
A Vienna Supports A Trieste
England:

Note that the fleet movements between the Irish Sea and the Mid Atlantic Ocean failed because units cannot directly swap places unless there is a convoy involved.
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.antipwn.com%2FDiplomacy%2Fsummer1904.bmp&hash=fc71e3b1124473caa62722eedcef2e299722e103)
There are no retreats to handle so we can go straight into the next turn meaning that orders for Fall 1904 are due by Midnight GMT on Friday 18th March

Sorry for the late update but I've been speed-painting Chaos Warriors for a tournament tomorrow. I have no idea how it happens that no matter how many Chaos Warriors I have, I always seem to need to speed-paint a bunch more the day before any given tournament. Surely there must be a quantity of Chaos Warriors that counts as a sufficient number at some point? Ah well, who am I to question the Great Shaper...
Anyhow, orders are in and they are like this:
Austria:
A Budapest Supports A Trieste
A Rumania - Bulgaria
A Serbia Supports A Rumania - Bulgaria
A Trieste Supports A Serbia
A Vienna Supports A Trieste
England:
F Denmark Hold
A Edinburgh - Belgium
A Liverpool Hold
F London Supports F English Channel
F North Sea Convoys A Edinburgh - Belgium
France:
A Brest - Paris
F English Channel Supports A Edinburgh - Belgium
F Irish Sea - Mid-Atlantic Ocean
A Marseilles - Spain
F Western Mediterranean - Tunis
Germany:
F Baltic Sea Supports F Denmark - Sweden (*Void*)
A Belgium Hold (*Dislodged*)
A Gascony - Marseilles
A Kiel Hold
A Tyrolia Hold
Italy:
F Adriatic Sea Convoys A Venice - Albania
F Mid-Atlantic Ocean - Portugal
A Piedmont Supports A Gascony - Marseilles
A Venice - Albania
Russia:
A Armenia - Ankara
F Black Sea Supports A Armenia - Ankara
A Livonia Hold

A Syria - Smyrna (*Fails*)
Turkey:
F Aegean Sea - Bulgaria(sc) (*Fails*)
F Ankara - Constantinople (*Disbanded*)
A Bulgaria - Serbia (*Disbanded*)
A Greece Supports A Bulgaria - Serbia
A Smyrna - Constantinople (*Bounce*)
Which looks like this on the map:
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.antipwn.com%2FDiplomacy%2Ffall1904.bmp&hash=d7da48fbad6d4565e6fc52c3490d0e6dc9e01211)
After all of which, the map is thus:
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.antipwn.com%2FDiplomacy%2Fwinter1904.bmp&hash=e5cc7792600b71f903b3aa4d58cf6b8120842c4b)
There is one retreat to handle:
The German army in Belgium can retreat to either Holland, Picardy, Ruhr or Burgundy. Alternatively it may be disbanded.
As soon as I get that decision we can go to builds which will look like this:
Austria: Supp 6 Unit 5 Build 0
England: Supp 6 Unit 5 Build 1
France: Supp 4 Unit 5 Remove 1
Germany: Supp 5 Unit 5 Build 0 (unless they choose to disband the army in Belgium, in which case they will have 1 build)
Italy: Supp 4 Unit 4 Build 0
Russia: Supp 6 Unit 5 Build 1
Turkey: Supp 3 Unit 3 Build 0
-
In a not hugely surprising turn of events, the Germans have retreated to Holland so the map at the end of 1904 looks like this:
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fantipwn.com%2FDiplomacy%2Fchristmas1904.bmp&hash=687f69a74186bd356f47deeba40cd65db62e1ac0)
Builds and disbands as follows:
Austria: Supp 6 Unit 5 Build 0
England: Supp 6 Unit 5 Build 1
France: Supp 4 Unit 5 Remove 1
Germany: Supp 5 Unit 5 Build 0
Italy: Supp 4 Unit 4 Build 0
Russia: Supp 6 Unit 5 Build 1
Turkey: Supp 3 Unit 3 Build 0
Get those to me ASAP and we'll move into 1905.
-
Builds are in, thanks for being on the ball with that guys.
New English regiment is raised in Edinburgh, a new Russian Fleet sets sail out of Sevastopol and the French fleet in the English Channel decides to go home and have an early bath.
Here's the map:
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.antipwn.com%2FDiplomacy%2FNYE1904.bmp&hash=7138305441315ff2c897ec2542af4f4280513732)
Get plotting, orders for the Spring 1905 turn are due by Midnight GMT on Wednesday 23rd March.
-

One retreat to handle, the Austrian army in Bulgaria may either retreat to Romania or it may be disbanded.
In any case, the map is now list and some of you look pretty screwed (and by 'some of you' I mean 'Turkey')
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.antipwn.com%2FDiplomacy%2Fsummer1905.bmp&hash=62cea603a6b468af1500231d8a5b98d52ccb1bb5)
Let me know what you want to do with that please Azore so we can move on to the Fall turn.
-
The Austrians fell back to Rumania so the map going into Fall 1905 is thus:
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.antipwn.com%2FDiplomacy%2Fharvest1905.bmp&hash=93d02acd95287ec2f338ae3926dd416637e80147)
Orders are due for Fall 1905 by Midnight GMT on Sunday 27th March.
-
Another action packed turn, more twists and turns in this sordid tale of blood and deceit. Some stern words will undoubtedly follow, monocles may pop, port may be spilt.

There are two dislodgements to handle and one unit is disbanded. The map looks like this after all of that:
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.antipwn.com%2FDiplomacy%2Ffallretreats1905.bmp&hash=4cacd22c5a59db8f4c18be29a598378e88889818)
The English fleet in Denmark may either retreat to Skagerrak or be disbanded.
The Austrian army in Greece can retreat to Albania or disband.
Once those retreat orders are in we can go to builds which will look like this:
Austria: Supp 5 Unit 5 Build 0 (or build 1 if the Greek army is disbanded)
England: Supp 6 Unit 6 Build 0 (or build 1 if the Danish fleet is disbanded)
France: Supp 7 Unit 4 Build 2
Germany: Supp 4 Unit 4 Build 0
Italy: Supp 3 Unit 3 Build 0
Russia: Supp 8 Unit 6 Build 2
Turkey: Supp 1 Unit 2 Remove 1
-
Retreats are in, the English fleet sets sail from Denmark into the open sea at Skagerrak while the Austrian army in Greece surrenders unconditionally.
The map for builds is as follows:
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.antipwn.com%2FDiplomacy%2Fchristmas1905.bmp&hash=8829f8f8249ad3b3c7c87710aeb61438198de9d9)
Final builds are therefore:
Austria: Supp 5 Unit 4 Build 1
England: Supp 6 Unit 6 Build 0
France: Supp 7 Unit 4 Build 2
Germany: Supp 4 Unit 4 Build 0
Italy: Supp 3 Unit 3 Build 0
Russia: Supp 8 Unit 6 Build 2
Turkey: Supp 1 Unit 2 Remove 1
Get those to me ASAP and we can continue with the 1906 turn.
-
Builds are in which is awesome.
New Russian fleet in St Petersburg, armies in Moscow, Vienna, Paris and Brest. Meanwhile the remains of the Turkish fleet in the Aegean decide that war isn't as much fun as it sounds and go become fishermen instead.
Here's the map:

There are two retreats to handle:
The German army in Kiel can retreat to either Berlin or Denmark or it can disband
The Italian army in Trieste can retreat to Albania or it can disband
Let me know what your choices are for those ASAP please.
-
Italy is forced to disband in Triste
-
Germany retreats to Berlin.
-
Alrighty, so after that retreat and disbanding, the map going into Fall 1906 is as follows:

Will Turkey see Christmas or will their goose be cooked by Thanksgiving? Get your orders for the Fall turn to me by Midnight GMT on Wednesday 6th April to find out!

Orders are in. Turkey gets the expected shivving up and Italy clings on to its precarious existence for another year.

All of which means that we say goodnight to Lockz of Turkey, thanks for playing and I hope you'll be in the next game. There is also plenty of dislodging going on:
The Turkish fleet in Greece can retreat to Albania but as they will be disbanded anyway in the builds phase it's not necessary as it can't affect other retreats.
The German army in Marseilles can retreat to Piedmont or it can disband.
The French army in Munich can retreat to Tyrolia or it can disband
The English fleet in the Norwegian Sea can retreat to Clyde, Edinburgh, North Atlantic or it can disband
The Italian army in Venice can retreat to Piedmont, Apulia, Tuscany or it can disband.
Note that if two or more units are ordered to retreat to the same province, then they are all disbanded instead (p18 of the rules).
Please get those orders to me ASAP and by PM rather than posting them in the thread - it's not so important if there's only one retreat or only a couple of retreats that won't affect anything else on the map, but in this case it's important to be secret. Also note that you are not supposed to discuss your retreats before submitting orders but there's obviously no way I can enforce that so you are on the honour system.
-
Sorry Lockz, hope you have more luck in Mon'tau's game.
-
Ok, retreats are in quick sharp like and so here is the final map for 1906 and the builds:
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.antipwn.com%2FDiplomacy%2Fchristmas1906.bmp&hash=73a89839a14eb2c7ee6306cecb016f2b8d10904e)
Builds are as follows:
Austria: Supp 7 Unit 5 Build 2
England: Supp 7 Unit 6 Build 1
France: Supp 7 Unit 6 Build 1
Germany: Supp 2 Unit 4 Remove 2
Italy: Supp 1 Unit 2 Remove 1
Russia: Supp 10 Unit 8 Build 2
Get those to me as soon as you can please.
-
Germany forfeits.
-
Would Germany like to give over control of its armies to its Austrian brothers? We have cake.
Azore of Austria
-
Germany forfeits.
In Diplomacy, there is no surrender! You know what there is though? A nice juicy place in my game just waiting for you to carry it off into the Berlin Sunset.
More to the point, the Alliances really are out in full view here! Pretty early for that, I see some interesting times ahead.
-
In order to keep things interesting if Seraph is serious I can control Germany until it's over.
-
Not trying to be a poor sport, this was a good learning experience and I am now officially bored ;D
I am serious though.
-
I leave on 10 days fieldwork this Sunday. No computer access.
We've been moving along at a pretty respectable pace to date, so I hope asking for a short hiatus while I look at rocks wouldn't be out of order.
Cheers
Dizzy
-
Ok, so:
1: Lockz is now Uberfuhrer of all Germany
2: I'll push the deadline for the Spring 1907 turn back until two days after KT gets back.
Map will update once I get the final remaining builds in (including Lockz').
-
Many thanks. :)
I fly back on the 19th, so we can get straight to work on the 21st if that's cool.
-
Builds are all now in and Lockz has taken stock of the dwindling German strategic reserves.
New armies in Vienna and Budapest while all the other nations with builds decide to expand their naval power. Fleets take to the seas in St Petersburg, London and Brest. Meanwhile the German Fleet in the North Sea, the German army in Piedmont and the Italian fleet in the Adriatic are all victims of ever tightening budgetary considerations.
Note that Russia had two available builds but chose to only use one.
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.antipwn.com%2FDiplomacy%2Fnye1906.bmp&hash=e502de57bd197107d2f4a5fddcf73e3c94ed4f14)
Given that KT will be playing with pebbles for the next week and a bit, the deadline for the Spring 1907 turn is therefore Midnight GMT on Thursday 21st April.
As things stand, Russia is leading with 10 centres (just over halfway to a solo victory) while England, France and Austria are all in a dead-heat for second place with 7 centres apiece. I expect that things will get very interesting from here on out and even the weak nations may be able to strike a bargain that gets them back into the game.
-
I expect that things will get very interesting from here on out and even the weak nations may be able to strike a bargain that gets them back into the game.
The headquarters of the German government (conveniently for all the diplomats located in the Turkish embassy) is willing to work with its neighbours.
-
Reminder that today is the new deadline for the Spring 1907 turn. Please send in your orders as soon as you can.

Orders are in after the break. Thanks for being so prompt after my short-notice reminder.

Despite all that confusion, there are no retreats to handle. The French army in Tyrolia is disbanded as it cannot retreat to anywhere and the map for the Fall turn looks like this:
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.antipwn.com%2FDiplomacy%2Fsumer1907.bmp&hash=028954c4c16be02885fb21df714bcd0e85c9afed)
This means that the orders for Fall 1907 are due by Midnight GMT on Monday 25th April. Get to it!
-
Orders are in! The clash of empires is heard throughout the Old World from the frigid seas of the north to the mountainous valleys of the south.
We say goodbye to Italy this turn also. Thanks for playing Faitherun, for your efforts you at least earn a survival point in the Diplomacy rankings.

There are retreats for both England and France before we can go to builds, as follows:
England (note that England will have to disband two units in the builds phase regardless):
F Kiel can retreat to Baltic Sea or Helgoland Bight or it may disband.
F North Sea can retreat to London or English Channel or Belgium or Helgoland Bight or Skagerrak or Yorkshire or it may disband.
France:
F Naples can retreat to Apulia or Tyrrhenian Sea or it may disband.
A Piedmont can retreat to Marseilles or it may disband.
Please get those retreats to me as soon as possible and remember that you are not supposed to confer during the retreats or builds phase of the turn.

Thank you all for playing. I have gained much from this forage back into the world of diplomacy. Cheers and happy back-stabbing!

Retreats are here. The English slink off to London and the Baltic while the French disband their army in Piedmont and sail their fleet to the shelter of Apulia.
The map for builds then looks like this:

England: Supp 5 Unit 7 Remove 2
France: Supp 6 Unit 5 Build 1
Germany: Supp 3 Unit 2 Build 1
Russia: Supp 11 Unit 9 Build 2
The Italian army in Tuscany will be removed as well.
Get those to me ASAP please.
-
Time to get on with 1908! Builds are all in, new fleets in St Petersburg, Trieste and Marseille while armies muster in Moscow, Vienna and Berlin. On the other side of the equation, the English fleets in the Baltic and Norwegian seas are quietly retired and the Italian army in Tuscany salutes the flag for the last time.
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.antipwn.com%2FDiplomacy%2Fnye1907.bmp&hash=8895550c5ef3b4b8b35fb810bc77530d67de2e51)
Now we are five and the real battles are just beginning. Orders for Spring 1908 are due by Midnight GMT on Saturday 30th April.

One retreat to handle before we move to the Fall turn:
Russian F Ionian Sea can retreat to Naples, Albania, Aegean Sea, Eastern Mediterranean or it may disband.
Get that to me as soon as you can and then we can continue with the vital Fall turn.
-
To the surprise of no-one, the Russian fleet makes for the transient safety of Naples.
The map going into the Autumn then looks like this:

The deadline for Fall 1908 orders then is Midnight GMT on Wednesday 4th May
-
*cough* Any word on the new map? Did something go wrong with something?

My bad, I had all the orders - on time even - but forgot to post the update. Much apologies.
Anyhow, here are your orders:

There are three retreats to handle before we can go to builds and they are as follows:
English F Denmark can retreat to Helgoland Bight or Baltic Sea or it may disband.
German A Munich can retreat to Burgundy or it may disband.
Russian F Tyrrhenian Sea can retreat to Tuscany or it may disband.
Get those to me ASAP and we'll head to builds.
-
Retreats are done so now we are on to builds. The post retreat map looks like this:

And builds are as follows.
Happy Faces:
Austria: Supp 10 Unit 9 Build 1
France: Supp 7 Unit 6 Build 1
Russia: Supp 12 Unit 11 Build 1
Sad Faces:
Germany: Supp 2 Unit 3 Remove 1
England: Supp 3 Unit 5 Remove 2
As you can see, there's a close race at the top with Russia about two-thirds of the way to a solo victory and Austria close behind. France is trailing a little but can still be considered a contender. Germany and England are not in good shape and their survival is on shaky ground. Perhaps a phoenix-like resurrection is waiting or maybe a final blaze of glory before the inevitable night.
Get those builds to me as quick as you can and then we can go on to 1909.
-
Ok builds are in; new fleets steam out of Brest and Trieste and a new army appears in St Petersburg. On the other side of the coin, the English fleet in the Baltic Sea along with the army in Ruhr and the German garrison in Berlin slink into the night never to be seen again.
The map looks like this:

It's time to party like it's 1909 so get your orders for the spring turn to me no later than Midnight GMT on Wednesday 11th May.

Which results in:

We have one retreat, from England:
Fleet in London can retreat to Yorkshire or Wales or it can disband.
Please get that retreat to me as soon as you can and we can then head to the builds.
Regardless of the English retreat, builds will look like this:
Austria: Supp 10 Unit 10 Build 0
England: Supp 2 Unit 3 Remove 1 (assuming the fleet retreats, if it disbands then there are no English adjustments to make).
France: Supp 7 Unit 7 Build 0
Germany: Supp 3 Unit 2 Build 1
Russia: Supp 12 Unit 10 Build 1
Still a very close race between Austria and Russia with France still very much in contention. Germany is clawing back some ground but is a long way behind the rest and England is in very poor shape.
-
The London fleet negotiates an honourable surrender and spends Christmas learning to like Tchaikovsky.
Builds are confirmed then as follows:
Austria: Supp 10 Unit 10 Build 0
England: Supp 2 Unit 2 Build 0
France: Supp 7 Unit 7 Build 0
Germany: Supp 3 Unit 2 Build 1
Russia: Supp 12 Unit 10 Build 1
Amazingly while I was writing this update both builds were submitted so here is the map going into 1910. New armies appear in Moscow and Berlin.
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.antipwn.com%2FDiplomacy%2Fchristmas1909.bmp&hash=9944d77a4b3bed4f203e6f3a3fd20de5664e2b09)
Next up is the spring 1910 turn then, orders for which are due by Midnight GMT on Thursday 19th May.
-
Orders are all in and on time even!
Here then are the results of all your intrigue. England submitted orders incidentally, they clearly decided to see if staying absolutely still might help:
Austria:
A Bohemia - Silesia
A Budapest - Serbia
A Constantinople - Ankara
F Eastern Mediterranean Supports F Aegean Sea - Smyrna
A Galicia Supports A Bohemia - Silesia
F Greece - Bulgaria(sc) (*Bounce*)
A Rome Hold
A Tuscany - Venice

That results in one single retreat, the German army in Paris for which I already have a retreat order, it diverts to Picardy and we can move straight into the Fall turn.

Orders for Fall 1910 are due by Midnight GMT on Monday 23rd May

We're ready for 1911! Orders have been given and burly men snap to it.

Amazingly there are no retreats so the map at the end of the year looks like this:
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.antipwn.com%2FDiplomacy%2Fwinter1910.bmp&hash=7bc415c887219822eb56cf6dc0a3f8246058dd11)
We go straight to builds which are as follows:
Austria: Supp 9 Unit 10 Remove 1
England: Supp 2 Unit 2 Build 0
France: Supp 8 Unit 7 Build 1
Germany: Supp 4 Unit 3 Build 1
Russia: Supp 11 Unit 11 Build 0
Get those to me as soon as you can please and we can start the next turn.
-
So, a new fleet appears in Brest, a new army in Berlin and the Austrian army in Trieste goes native.
Here's the updated map
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.antipwn.com%2FDiplomacy%2FNYE1910.bmp&hash=1807c6479e7b3107ffd8c293bf145a758251d9c1)
Orders for the Spring turn of 1911 are therefore due by Midnight GMT on Friday 27th May.
Happy stabbing.

Both of the remaining English units and one Russian army are dislodged and must retreat as follows:
Russian A Constantinople can retreat to Ankara or it may disband.
English A Edinburgh can retreat to Yorkshire or it may disband.
English A Holland can retreat to Ruhr or it may disband.
Please get those retreats to me as soon as you can so that we can continue into the Fall turn.

I've got a tough time seeing your picture updates usually, including today.
-
From a look at the url of the images they seem broken to me too.
-
Oops, I mistyped the image url. Fixed now. It seems that my webhosting is slower than usual at the moment, I will look into it and see if I need to fix anything.
-
Retreats are done. The Russians scuttle to Ankara while both English units hoist down the flag for the last time and, with nary a tremble of their stiff upper-lips, march off into the sunset. Thanks for playing Dizz and for being a sport even after it was obvious that you were doomed.
Now we are four and the game is very close indeed. Russia has a very slight lead over France and Austria but Germany is resurgent and could still spoil the plans of much mightier nations.

All of this means that the orders for the Fall 1911 turn are due by Midnight GMT on Thursday 2nd June.
-
Thanks all.
It was a good game, and fun despite having to struggle after the early stab.
Thanks Iain for hosting.
Good luck for the rest of the game.
-
Good game Dizz and kudos for staying till the end! Perhaps we will manage to be friends in the next game. :)
-
With only four players remaining, things are definitely heating up. Some alliances of convennience appear to be fracturing already.

Three retreats to handle:
French F Belgium can retreat to Picardy or be disbanded.
Russian A Rumania can retreat to Sevastopol or be disbanded.
Austrian A Silesia can retreat to Bohemia or be disbanded.
Get those to me as soon as possible please.
-
Get my fleet to Picardy, please.
-
If there is more than one retreat you should PM it to me as they are supposed to be secret. In this case it doesn't matter much but in some cases there may be multiple retreats that could all potentially trip over each other or may otherwise influence someone else's retreat decision.
-
Retreats are sorted in an impressively quick manner so here is the map. No big surprises, everyone takes the only retreat option open to them.
Here's the map:
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.antipwn.com%2FDiplomacy%2Fchristmas1911.bmp&hash=2c78d2200511d34ce9dc9ed1fc4a570b303e0df2)
And here are the builds:
Austria: Supp 11 Unit 8 Build 3
France: Supp 8 Unit 8 Build 0
Germany: Supp 5 Unit 4 Build 1
Russia: Supp 10 Unit 10 Build 0
The last English bastion submits to the Tzarist oppressors as expected. Austria leapfrogs Russia as the leader of the (not very) Free World, France keeps the status quo and Germany continues to flourish at the expense of the English possessions in the Low Countries.
-
Builds are done, new armies appear in Kiel, Budapest and Vienna while a shiny new fleet steams out of Trieste.
Here's the map:

Only one retreat to handle after all of that:

To the Mid-Atlantic Ocean we will go.

We get three retreats from all of that:
French F Liverpool can retreat to Irish Sea or Clyde or it may disband.
French F London can retreat to Wales or it may disband.
Russian A Sevastopol can retreat to Moscow or it may disband.
Once we have those retreats in we can go to builds.
Edit: Russia and France are the only countries with adjustments this year so when you send me your retreat orders, you may as well give your build orders too - France will get one build and Russia gets to disband one unit assuming all retreats move rather than disband.
-
Alrighty, the French fleets hang on grimly to their British footholds by skirting around the coast to Wales and Clyde while the Russian army in Sevastopol heads back to Moscow.
In the winter, the Russian army in Armenia heads off into the Arabian Peninsula never to be seen again while France unveils a shiny new Fleet in Brest.
Here's the map after all builds and retreats:

For those of you keeping score at home the current status is as follows:
Austria keeps its status as Top Nation with 11 centres. France steals a centre from Austria who gains one at Russia's expense leaving both France and Russia at parity with 9 centres each and Germany remains the tail end charlie with 5 centres.
This means that the orders for Spring 1913 are due by Midnight GMT on Wednesday 15th June
-
The new year begins with the usual bitter fighting across the continent. Here are your orders:
Austria:

French F Smyrna can retreat to Syria or Eastern Mediterranean or Aegean Sea or it may disband.
French F Wales can retreat to Irish Sea or it may disband.
Russian A Silesia can retreat to Prussia or it may disband.

We have retreats now. The units with only one option took it, the fleet in Smyrna disbanded and the army in Burgundy headed back to Marseilles.

Orders for the Fall 1913 turn are thus due by Midnight GMT on Sunday 19th June.

Thanks for all getting your orders in without too much nagging. There's quite a lot happening this turn, some crossed wires or changed plans and no-one gets what they expected.

One retreat after all of that:
German A Burgundy can retreat to Gascony or it may disband.
Once that is sorted out it's a relatively quiet build phase:
Austria: Supp 12 Unit 11 Build 1
France: Supp 8 Unit 8 Build 0
Germany: Supp 5 Unit 5 Build 0 (unless they disband the army in Burgundy in which case they will have one build)
Russia: Supp 9 Unit 9 Build 0
So Austria pulls out more of a lead at the top, inching ever closer to a solo win, France slips back slightly while Russia and Germany remain as they were last year.
-
Retreat to Gascony please.
-
Ok, so just one build for Austria to deal with then.
Here's the map after retreats.

A new Austrian fleet takes to the waters off Trieste and we can move onto 1914. Here's a suggestion for Azore, if you were thinking of taking any holiday in Sarajevo this summer, I'd strongly advise against it.
Anyhow, here's a map:

Three retreats to handle:
French A Burgundy can retreat to Gascony or it may disband.
Russian A Moscow can retreat to St Petersburg or it may disband.
German A Munich can retreat to Kiel or Berlin or it may disband.
Get those to me ASAP and we can roll over to the Fall turn.

Retreats are in. Units fall back to Gascony, Kiel and St Petersburg respectively.
Here's the map:

Orders for the Fall 1914 turn are due by Midnight GMT on Tuesday 28th June.
-
What witchcraft is this? Orders in early? Without reminders! Never has my gast been so thoroughly flabbered!
Here are these highly suspicious 'orders':
Austria:
F Adriatic Sea - Apulia
F Aegean Sea - Ionian Sea (*Bounce*)
F Black Sea - Constantinople
A Bohemia Supports A Munich
A Bulgaria - Rumania
A Galicia - Warsaw (*Fails*)
F Ionian Sea - Tyrrhenian Sea (*Fails*)

Only one retreat after all of that:
French fleet in the North Atlantic can retreat to the Norwegian Sea, the Irish Sea or it may disband.
Once that is out of the way and we go to builds, they will be as follows:
Austria: Supp 14 Unit 12 Build 2
France: Supp 9 Unit 8 Build 1 (assuming the fleet retreats, 2 builds if it disbands)
Germany: Supp 4 Unit 5 Remove 1
Russia: Supp 7 Unit 9 Remove 2
Austria pulls out more of a lead and comes to within four centres of a solo win, France reclaims some territory from Germany and Russia's star wanes further.
-
The French fleet opts to disband rather than retreat so we are now at builds.
Here's the map:

Most of you have already submitted your adjustments for the year so if you want to change your mind after the French orders then let me know ASAP as I'll update again as soon as I get the last set of builds.
Here are the adjustments:
Austria: Supp 14 Unit 12 Build 2
France: Supp 9 Unit 7 Build 2
Germany: Supp 4 Unit 5 Remove 1
Russia: Supp 7 Unit 9 Remove 2
-
Adjustments are in:
Fleets disappear from the North Atlantic and Liverpool while the army in Burgundy is likewise MIA. Meanwhile new fleets arise in Marseille and Trieste along with an army in Vienna. The French choose not to use their second build this year.
The map going into 1915 is therefore like this:

The deadline for Spring 1915 orders is Midnight GMT on Monday 4th July.
-
Tomorrow I'm going to be out of town for a wedding, and I probably won't be back for at least a week. 4th of July and all that. Now I may have regular access to the internet, but I can't be sure, so if I don't get my orders in on time you know what's happened to me.

Amazingly there are no retreats after all that so we can go straight into the Fall turn, orders for which should be in by Midnight GMT on Friday 8th July.

Incredibly for such a fierce turn, there are no retreats although the Austrian army in Moscow is disbanded as it has nowhere to retreat to. So, we go straight to builds which are as follows:
Austria: Supp 14 Unit 13 Build 1
France: Supp 8 Unit 8 Build 0
Germany: Supp 5 Unit 4 Build 1
Russia: Supp 7 Unit 7 Build 0
Get those to me as soon as you can please.

Builds are done: Germany puts a new army in Berlin while further to the South, Austria raises a new Viennese regiment.

No retreats to worry about this turn so straight into the next with orders for the Fall 1916 turn due by Midnight GMT on Saturday 16th July.

All the manoeuvring in the Spring led to some interesting fallout at the end of the year.
The orders looked like this:
Austria:
F Adriatic Sea Supports A Trieste - Venice
A Bohemia Supports A Tyrolia
F Eastern Mediterranean - Ionian Sea (*Bounce*)
A Galicia - Warsaw (*Fails*)
F Greece Supports F Eastern Mediterranean - Ionian Sea
F Ionian Sea - Tyrrhenian Sea (*Bounce*)

There is one retreat to handle before the builds - the French army in Rome can retreat to Apulia or it can disband. Let me know what you want to do with that JoBob, remember that you'll need to disband a unit before the end of the year anyhow.
Once that has been resolved we'll be able to go to builds and assuming that the French army retreats, they will look like this:
Austria: Supp 14 Unit 13 Build 1
France: Supp 7 Unit 8 Remove 1 (no adjustment if the Roman army disbands in the retreat phase)
Germany: Supp 5 Unit 5 Build 0
Russia: Supp 8 Unit 7 Build 0
-
In a spectacular display of efficiency, I not only have the retreat order but also the adjustments from both France and Austria.
The army in Rome retreats to Apulia shortly before a new army rises in Budapest and the French fleet in North Africa sails away over the sand dunes and into history.
Here's the map after all of that:

Orders for the Spring 1917 turn therefore are due by Midnight GMT on Wednesday 20th July.

No retreats to deal with so orders for the Fall 1917 turn are due by Midnight GMT on Saturday 23rd July

As spotted by the eagle-eyed Lockz, there is a mistake in the above orders but it doesn't affect the map. Austria didn't order it's Tyrolean army to support a Russian attack on Warsaw from Moscow but instead to support the move from Trieste into Venice. As this move was successful and as the support for the Russian move was invalid nothing changes as a result. Apologies for the confusion.
-
Orders are in and so we can update. Benis wisely refused an invitation by that nice Mr Lenin to go on holiday to the Urals and as such is still (nominally) in command of Russia although confused reports from within the Imperial palace claim that the real power behind the throne is a monkey called Ratstattin or something like that.

Really nothing I could have done, seeing as I didn't even know until the day before. But I apologize, and seeing as there are no vacations in the near future it won't happen again. No harm done anyways.

The Austrian army in Venice has nowhere to go and is disbanded but there are no other retreats so here are the adjustments for the end of the year:
Austria: Supp 12 Unit 11 Build 1
France: Supp 8 Unit 7 Build 1
Germany: Supp 6 Unit 6 Build 0
Russia: Supp 8 Unit 7 Build 0
Please get those to me ASAP.
-
Builds are in. France builds a new fleet in Brest while Austria opts to keep its factories idle for a year.

Due to me being away for GDC and the ETC this week, the deadline for the next turn will be longer than usual, you have until Midnight GMT on Sunday 21st August to get your orders in for the Spring 1920 turn. I'll still be available for questions via PM or email in the meantime but I'll only have a work laptop that won't have Realpolitik or an FTP client on it.
-
Somewhat delayed, the Spring turn is now ready.
Please be sure to double check your orders before you submit them, there are some orders that I think are mistakes or units that have been overlooked. If I catch them in time I'll query anything that looks like a mistake but once the deadline has passed, what I have is what I run.
Here are the submitted orders:
Austria:
F Apulia - Naples (*Fails*)
A Bohemia - Tyrolia
A Galicia Supports A Bohemia (*Ordered to Move*)
F Greece Supports F Ionian Sea
F Ionian Sea Supports F Apulia - Naples (*Cut*)

There are no retreats so we will go straight into the Fall turn, orders for which are due by Midnight GMT on Friday 26th August
-
Orders are all in:
Austria:

No retreats this turn either as the only unit that needed to retreat had nowhere to retreat to. Therefore we'll go direct to builds:
Austria: Supp 11 Unit 9 Build 1
France: Supp 9 Unit 8 Build 1
Germany: Supp 6 Unit 6 Build 0
Russia: Supp 8 Unit 7 Build 0
Austria's once unassailable lead is being slowly chipped away by a resurgent France. Where will it all end?
Get builds to me ASAP please.
-
I'll definitely get my builds in, but I make no promises about orders. I most likely should be able to, but if something happens with the hurricane blowing in, I'm just giving you warning.
Azore of Ath-Ron
-
Alrighty, stay safe Azore.
-
Builds are in - new fleets steam out of Trieste and Marseille so here's a map:
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.antipwn.com%2FDiplomacy%2Fnye1920.bmp&hash=77ec7034da29e6b2d210617800445f688bdb5140)
Given the somewhat precarious position of Azore, I'm going to set the usual 3 day deadline for orders but I'll extend this as required if things start to look grim over on the US east coast.
For now though orders for the Spring 1921 turn are due by Midnight GMT on Tuesday 30th August.
-
Alright, between the site being down for a few days and me traveling to the US, the game has slipped a bit but now we're all back. New deadline for the Spring 1921 turn is Midnight GMT on Wednesday 7th September. Get talking gentlemen.
-
Ok, orders are in. The delay is my fault as I'm on holiday in the US and don't have access to my usual PC or in fact routine access to any PC.
Here are the orders:
Austria:
F Apulia - Naples (*Dislodged*)
A Budapest Supports A Vienna
A Galicia Supports A Vienna (*Dislodged*)

We have two retreats to handle, both of them Austrian:
Austrian F Apulia can retreat to Adriatic Sea or it may disband.
Austrian A Galicia can retreat to Rumania or it may disband.
Get those to me as soon as possible please Azore and we can roll on to the Fall turn.
-
They'll take their retreats, obviously. But seriously, can we start talking again, guys? I'm not the big bad guy anymore...

Alrighty, thanks for being so quick.

We are now going into the Fall 1921 turn, orders for which should be in by Midnight GMT on Monday September 12th.
-
We have orders, some of which are going to surprise a few of you.
Austria:
F Adriatic Sea Supports F Ionian Sea
A Budapest Supports A Vienna
F Greece Supports F Ionian Sea
F Ionian Sea Hold
A Rumania Supports A Ukraine
A Serbia - Trieste
A Sevastopol Supports A Ukraine
F Trieste - Albania
A Ukraine Supports A Rumania

F London Hold (*Dislodged*)
F Naples Supports A Apulia
F Piedmont - Marseilles

A Tyrolia - Trieste (*Fails*)

Germany:

Russia:
A Galicia Supports A Warsaw

A St Petersburg - Norway
F Wales - London
A Warsaw Supports A Galicia
Here's a map of the orders:

And here's what it looks like afterwards:
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fi5BMW.png&hash=22810e96022f48f9a063ece85d91cef15ee45e1f)
We have one retreat to handle:
French F London can retreat to Yorkshire or it may disband. If Jobob can tell me what that fleet is going to do, we can get on with builds.
Note that if the French fleet retreats, France will have to disband a unit at the end of the year anyway.
-
Retreat F Lon to Yor and Disband the F in Tys.
-
Alrighty, the French fleet retreats resulting in this map:
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FnXVuz.png&hash=bdde72a73f9f4c71bd4dda8b5ff1deb05718248e)
This means the scores and builds at the end of the year are as follows:
Austria: Supp 11 Unit 10 Build 0
France: Supp 8 Unit 9 Remove 1
Germany: Supp 6 Unit 6 Build 0
Russia: Supp 9 Unit 7 Build 1
It's unlikely but possible that the French disband may affect Russian plans so if both of you could confirm your plans via PM that would be grand.
-
Russia builds a new fleet on the north coast of St Petersburg and France disbands its Tyrrhenian Sea fleet.

There's one retreat to handle:

Orders for the Fall 1923 turn are due by Midnight GMT on Thursday 22nd September

We have the builds now. Russia raises an army in St Petersburg, Germany cashes in on the French stabbing up by putting an army and a fleet in Berlin and Kiel while France sends its Tyrolean army home for an early bath.

There aren't any retreats to handle, the only unit dislodged had to disband due to having nowhere to go so we can go straight into the Fall turn, orders for which are due by Midnight GMT on Saturday 1st October

Orders are in, new partnerships seem to have been forged from the ashes of dead alliances.
Here are the orders:
Austria:
F Adriatic Sea Supports A Trieste - Venice
F Apulia - Ionian Sea
A Bohemia - Vienna
A Galicia Hold
F Ionian Sea - Tyrrhenian Sea
F Naples Supports F Ionian Sea - Tyrrhenian Sea

There's one retreat to handle prior to builds:
French F English Channel can retreat to the Irish Sea, Wales, Picardy or it may disband. Note that France will need to disband a unit by the end of the year.
Get that retreat/disband to me and then we'll go to builds. I'll list them here along with the state of the game ahead of time:
Austria: Supp 13 Unit 10 Build 2
France: Supp 4 Unit 5 Remove 1 (assuming that the dislodged fleet retreats, if it is disbanded instead then there is no adjustment required)
Germany: Supp 8 Unit 8 Build 0
Russia: Supp 9 Unit 9 Build 0
Austria is once again resurgent while France falls further and further behind. The big surprise though is Germany, after many years of languishing far behind the other powers and now the Germans are only a single supply centre behind Russia.
-
The French fleet in the English Channel disbands and Austria builds two new armies in Trieste and Vienna. I can't help feeling that is going to spell bad news for someone, I guess we'll find out who soon enough.
Here's the map going into 1924:

Your map has too many Austrian fleets. There is nothing in Ion or Apu. (Though I don't mind the free forces...)

Well spotted, thanks. I hadn't updated the client at work for a while and it was about 8 turns behind so I edited it to match the last map in the thread instead of uploading all the orders missed since 1921.
The map has been amended and should now be correct.
-
This has affected me as IainC pointed out with an illegal move - that army I have in Ruhr is a ghost army.

There are no retreats as the only unit that needed to retreat had nowhere to go.
Here then are the builds:
Austria: Supp 15 Unit 12 Build 2
France: Supp 2 Unit 4 Remove 2
Germany: Supp 8 Unit 7 Build 1
Russia: Supp 9 Unit 9 Build 0
Austria moves to within 3 centres of a solo win, France slips further towards final obliteration and Germany consolidates her position somewhat.
Get those builds to me as soon as possible please gents.

Adjustments are in. New armies rise in Berlin and Budapest and a new fleet is launched in Trieste. Meanwhile the army in Tunisia and the fleet in the Western Mediterranean are the latest victims of French defence cuts.
Here's the map going into 1925:

There are no retreats to deal with so we can go straight into the Fall turn, orders for which are due by Midnight GMT on Sunday 23rd October
-
I'm going to go ahead and propose that the game be called a draw. Unless Azore really thinks he can pull off a win (I doubt it), I think we've done all we can here.
Very glad BTW to see this game going into 1925!
-
I'd suggest playing out the end of the year and seeing how things fall then. I doubt that Azore will pull out a solo win this turn or that anything dramatic will happen but it seems better to halt at the year end than in the middle. If everyone involved agrees that it's a draw then that's fine.
As things stand:
Austria needs 3 more SCs for a solo win with 15 SCs
Russia is second with 9
Germany is close behind in third with 8
France is on the ropes with 2 and no way to build new units without recapturing at least one home SC.
If everyone wants to end the game then I'd suggest that Austria be declared the winner but that the points be shared between Austria, Russia and Germany.
-
I would certainly like to play this out a bit longer. I have a few ideas kicking around, so I'd like to see if they'll work or not.
Azore of Ath-Ron
-
That's cool Azore. A decision to end the game has to be unanimous so if any of you want to continue, then it continues.

Here's what happens as a result:

There are no retreats at all so we go to builds which are simple:
Austria: Supp 15 Unit 14 Build 1
France: Supp 2 Unit 2 Build 0
Germany: Supp 8 Unit 8 Build 0
Russia: Supp 9 Unit 9 Build 0
Please get that build to me as soon as possible Azore.
-
A Trieste.
If Germany is content with France staying as it is with Spain and Portugal (if he intends on simply holding in support) then I offer a four-way draw with scoring to be done as per the League rules with myself as the outright leader and ensuring that France gets his points for the game.
Azore of Ath-Ron
-
I enjoyed your support at the end of the game for France. Seeing as you wouldn't let me claim the rest of France's provinces, I'm sure not going to let you do it. I am surprised though that you didn't go for the 3-way win. It wouldn't have been that hard for you.
-
I wouldn't be able to take all of Iberia, and I respect my allies (when I can't win outright, of course...).
Azore of Ath-Ron
-
If everyone agrees to Azore's offer then we are done. If anyone wants to keep playing then the game will continue.

The Spring 1926 turn will be due by Midnight GMT on Thursday 27th October I either need an agreement on the end of the game or a full set of orders from everyone by then. PM me orders as normal but post your thoughts on ending the game in this thread.
-
I agree with ending the game. My orders will be as before.
-
End the game! Please I beg you!
-
Yes, there are no new moves. Great game everyone, I don't think I have ever played so far into the 20s before. :)
-
I agree, it was a good game played by all, and it shifted around a couple times. And an additional thank you for when I took over as Germany, for not pounding me into the ground right away, those were some uncertain times.
-
Yeah, I didn't really consider that Germany would return to its former glory and beyond. Just goes to show that just because things looks like crap it doesn't mean it has to end like crap. I was a bit surprised that our alliance managed to hold given how I stabbed you as Turkey, I was sure that was something that would come back and bite me during the Russian-German alliance, nice of you to not be petty about it.
Oh, and a special thanks to IainC who managed to keep it going like clockwork, great job as game master!
-
It would have been tempting, although seeing as Azore had also taken advantage of the stab, tough to take it out on the two of you. Especially when I was just wanting to survive those first few years and various people were nice enough to support me as a buffer between them and their enemies. Although, you never left yourself open for a good stab (unlike JoBob).
And thank you to IainC for running this long game!
-
Cool, so all are agreed then that the game is over. It was a marathon game with plenty of action even if things got a bit stale towards the end.
7 months of Diplomacy is certainly an achievement, special mention goes to Lockz for taking over Germany after Seraph Tenacious threw the towel in. After a hugely shaky start he clawed his way back to a very respectable position.
We (briefly) said goodbye to Lockz after the Fall 1906 turn. His short-lived adventure as Caliph was cruelly cut short by the combined forces of Austria and Russia only to re-emerge after the new year with a suspicious haircut and a new-found love of sausage as Reichsfuhrer of Germany.
Faitherun of Italy held out till the end of 1907 before the last Italian saluted La Tricolore for the last time and Dizz/Killing Time was knocked out in the spring of 1911. From then, and for the next fifteen years it was a four way struggle.
Well played all and take a well-deserved rest from forum-based intrigue!
-
Yes, a good game to everyone indeed! It's still a bit disappointing that I couldn't grab my first solo victory, but there's always next time.
Azore of Ath-Ron
-
Congratulations Azore.
I've been following this game with interest since my untimely demise.
You were a worthy winner and perhaps unlucky not to get the solo win. I think once you got tripple teamed to curb your expansion it was always going to be an uphill struggle, so you did well to come out on top regardless.
-
Well played everyone! I have been following this game since May, and I think i've never seen a more dynamic game of diplomacy being played. Great kudos to Germany for the comeback.
-
Well played all, and congrats Azore.
I don't think I did too badly for my very first diplomacy game, and I sure did learn quite a bit.
